Chapter 836: Enemies of the People
Lin Miao is most likely willing to believe that Yuanhan, the young man who feels good about himself, was used as a gun by the blue side or other people this time when he couldn't figure out the situation, but at the same time, it is not ruled out that Yuanhan had his own thoughts, and he had to use him as a target, and he would not stop until he made a hole in the "system" or "test-oriented education".
In the final analysis, it is only because this child has little reading and has to pretend that he has read it, so he neither understands the operation of the system, nor does he understand that exam-oriented education cannot be penetrated at all. Because exam-oriented education itself is one of the foundations of the system, whether ancient or modern, whether domestic or foreign.
This year's Yuan Han is ignorant and fearless, hateful and pitiful, a real "Yuan Quixot" who has been deceived by people with a heart, he clutches his spear and rushes to the windmills, thinking that he is living his life to fight the giants, so brave that he himself has tears in his eyes. But big brother, under the windmill, is the common people's mill! You don't have to stab the mill, you ride a horse, gallop like a teenager and leave, but the problem is that someone else has to come out and wipe your ass!
Lin Miao didn't hate Yuan Han very much, once he saw the essence of the problem clearly, he thought everyone was pitiful.
Whether it is Wonhan or the young people in the small town who support Wonhan, in the final analysis, they are all victims in a certain historical environment. Yuanhan was lucky, and finally took advantage of the east wind of the times and finally found a way, but many young people who believed in his "childlike words" will regret their choice sooner or later. Of course, even if this group of people doesn't choose, they may not be able to get any decent scores, and Wonhan's existence is nothing more than providing them with an excuse that "scores are not important".
But is the score really not important? If not, how do those tutoring institutions that charge hundreds of yuan per class survive and grow all the way to the point where they can't lose their weight?
So Wonhan's attack on exam-oriented education itself is actually nothing, in the final analysis, it is just a teenager who makes a little noise about what he doesn't understand. But his disguised incessation of other children to give up their efforts, whether intentionally or unintentionally, is highly reprehensible. Fortunately, many years later, he had children of his own and realized his ignorance.
But because of him, the children of the vast number of third- and fourth-tier cities who have cut themselves off from the only way back are not as lucky as him.
Even if these consequences can't be entirely attributed to Wonhan, in the end, small evils are evil. Young people must understand that another meaning of "don't do evil for the less" is that no matter how small the bad thing is, once you are targeted, you should not want to run. So Comrade Liu Bei didn't ask Adou not to do bad things, what Uncle Huang meant was actually: Son, you can't afford the consequences of doing bad things!
Lin Miao thought of the embarrassment of Comrade Yuanhan being besieged from all directions a few years later, not mentioning that the people who besieged him may not be a good thing, but what you plant is and what you get, you also deserve such a catastrophe in Comrade Yuanhan's life.
- But then again, the situation at that time was actually quite complicated, and it was essentially a deeper power struggle, and it was a little naïve to use "good things" or "bad things" to describe people on both sides.
Struggle is inherently unscrupulous.
It doesn't matter if it's good or ugly in the way or not, what matters is whether it can achieve the goal.
Two days later, Lin Miao published a small article in Dongou Daily.
It is not aimed at the organizing committee of the "New Thinking" essay contest, nor does it pay attention to Wonhan at all, and the title is "On Quality Education".
On the big weekend, Xiao Yuyu's father Xiao Guodong read the newspaper at dinner as usual, and when he saw Lin Miao's article at a glance, his eyes lit up - because his loser old lady magically threw away all the stocks in time during the stock market crash last year, and just grabbed the highest position, so his family had more than 3 million properties overnight, so in addition to Xiao Yuyu, he also hated Lin Miao, and he and his wife Huang Mingyu have now become Lin Miao's die-hard supporters.
However, in this way, Xiao Yuyu lives a little miserable, because he often has to be compared with Lin Miao at every turn, and as long as he has a strong mouth, he will definitely be slapped in the face. Xiao Guodong's method of educating his son is so straightforward and clear.
In the past month, because Lin Miao has been established as a "typical product of exam-oriented education", the people of Dongou City, who don't really like to pay much attention to social issues, have also been interested in discussing this matter.
Xiao Guodong vaguely felt that this discussion was very stupid, and his logic was very simple: Mom, if you go to school and take exams, if you get good grades, or if you are wrong? What kind of crooked reasoning is this? However, there is really a group of people in society who have begun to criticize the "theory of fractions."
Because the information was too dense and complicated, Xiao Guodong was almost persuaded at a certain time, and even secretly reflected on himself, whether he was too strict with Xiao Yuyu, and whether he should also be educated with quality and happiness. Those university professors who said that the burden should be reduced seem to be quite reasonable-of course, the words of these university professors were all given to him by Xiao Yuyu.
For the sake of freedom, Xiao Yuyu saved a lot of money that he originally used to buy coins to buy newspapers.
In Xiao Yuyu's opinion, the effect seems to be good.
This situation lasted until last week, when Xiao Guodong read Lin Miao's "Apologies to All Parents in Dongou City".
After reading it, Xiao Guodong suddenly realized a problem: I have shamelessly stolen the places for those officials who are officials, and I blatantly stole the places to enter good schools, so I said that 10,000 yuan is not for the sake of entering a good school? In order to enter a good school, don't you have to get a high score in the special test? Especially now that the quota has been robbed, in the past, maybe you could get 700 points to enter Dongou Middle School, but now you may get 701 points, because there are fewer places, the competition will definitely be more intense!
Thinking about it this way, Xiao Yuyu was directly beaten three more times this week.
After Xiao Guodong figured out this problem, he wanted to popularize the trap of the essay "Red Miao" with others everywhere, but unexpectedly, other parents also thought of what he thought of. It must be said that only those who raise chickens must know the value of chicken feed. Even if someone temporarily fools that chicken feed is useless, and chickens need to be fed pure natural green food, as long as the growth rate of chickens is down, chicken farmers should naturally be a little forced to count. So it is conceivable that the vast majority of people who shout that chicken feed is useless actually do not raise chickens.
Xiao Guodong was grateful to Lin Miao for his timely apology, because Lin Miao saved him from being deceived and his chicken farm from losses.
After reading it, I instantly felt that my IQ had gone up a notch.
Lin Miao's article is written in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, starting from the ancient imperial examination, and has been talking about the monopoly of educational resources by foreign elites, and the so-called quality education is essentially either a lie of the ruling class to the bottom after monopolizing educational resources, and the personal freedom of the ruling class itself under the premise that it does not need to achieve high professional skills, and the people at the bottom have no capital to choose freedom.
Xiao Guodong read and read this article again and again, and the last few paragraphs were repeatedly recalled:
"Given China's current national conditions, the result of quality education is inevitably that it will not be able to improve the quality of children, nor will it be possible for children to receive the education they deserve. All the ideas that quality education is equivalent to maintaining academic performance, and also allowing children to achieve results in the arts, sports, and other fields at the same time are not only wrong, but also naïve.
Parents who think that quality education can improve quality confuse the concepts of quality and hobbies, and those who also advocate quality education also secretly change the concept of hobbies. And if hobbies are really an important part of learning, then it directly deviates from the original purpose of learning.
Our secondary education is essentially a general education. The core of general education is not to cultivate children's ability to use professional knowledge, but to comprehensively test a person's intelligence level, concentration on learning, perseverance and perseverance in doing things, and even the psychological quality of facing important occasions. Because a person's livelihood skills in society almost never come from textbooks, even if they are majored in college, they need to be trained for a long time in the workplace before they can finally become a tool for a person to settle down in society.
Those who say that they don't need functions to buy groceries obviously don't understand the true meaning of education in China today.
To put it mildly, the mission of test-oriented education is to equip people with common sense of life, to enable people to have better ability to integrate into society, and further, to make people have a more complete personality, as well as a more flexible and scientific ability to think and solve specific problems. But it's not a specific survival skill to be taught. In a big way, education is the foundation of the development of the country and the nation. In order for society to operate stably, there must be a set of rules for scientific operation, and the starting point of this set of operating rules is education.
Therefore, if we look back at the imperial examination system in ancient China, is it really as unbearable as we criticize today?
I don't think so.
The imperial examination system has allowed Chinese society to run smoothly for thousands of years in an era of low productivity. In fact, all the articles criticized by today's people have not only played a role in unifying thinking and stabilizing society, but have also propped up China's huge state apparatus from the lowest level of the country. It is not shy to say that all the criticism of the imperial examination system is essentially an emotional expression made by the Chinese people because of the failure of modern China, and it is obviously inappropriate to attribute China's failure in modern times to the imperial examination. This is because the significance of the imperial examination is not to promote the development of productive forces, but to maintain the operation of society. At this point, the imperial examination system can be said to have more merit than merit, or even merit without merit.
Recently, some people have criticized and said that today's examination-oriented education is the imperial examination in ancient times. I think these people are not right in their criticism, but the content itself is right. Today's education is indeed the imperial examination in ancient times! Because it not only provides the fairest upward channel for the common people at the bottom to the greatest extent possible, but also completes the education of common sense to the greatest extent possible, so that as many people as possible have the basic ability to survive in this society. More importantly, today's examination-oriented education has also supported our social operation system from the bottom, allowing more than one billion people to complete their ideological identity and allowing our country to move forward steadily.
The ancients read the books of sages and sages hard, not really to be nerds. However, with the productivity and communication conditions of the time, the content of the examination could only be fixed in a few of the most common books among the people, if not, if you could afford to read the books, you would always be a wealthy family. Educational resources will be monopolized from generation to generation. The essence of the imperial examination is to educate equity, not to impart skills.
The skills of the imperial examination require candidates to figure out, practice, and learn to dance in shackles through their own wisdom. The main point to be examined in the imperial examination, as it is today, is to comprehensively test a person's intellectual level, concentration in learning, perseverance and perseverance in doing things, and psychological quality in the face of important occasions. Ancient and modern, in the same vein.
All those who hope to achieve a high leap in life through education should be clear: as a person from an ordinary family, we have no external strength to borrow, and there are not so many goddesses of fate to take care of us. If you can't accept it and lose in this fair game, it's obviously a personal problem. Isn't it ridiculous to attribute the sin to the system? As for the issue of influencing the country's selection of materials, dare to ask those who can't even compete with ordinary people, are you really embarrassed to open this mouth about scientific research?
There are also those who say that examination-oriented education buries talents in mathematics, physics and chemistry - we must understand that first of all, the Chinese and English exams are not too difficult, and those who are 'buried' are not willing to work these subjects, but they want the state to take special care of them, which is unfair to more people; secondly, do these so-called talents really have superior talents in the fields they are good at? 150 points in mathematics can be 149 points, 150 points in Chinese but only 100 points, this is not called partial talents, at best can only be called partial subjects, and for those real partial talents, the country has long prepared for them to compete on the road.
Real gold will never be buried in yellow sand, the so-called 'buried talents', but only occasionally reflect the sun's rays of small particles, but in essence, it is still sand. All those who are afraid of 'talent being buried', you are overly concerned.
Since the resumption of the college entrance examination, China's education system has long been tested. Judging from the process and results of the implementation of examination-oriented education in our country, it is obvious that it has been successful and effective. Therefore, please keep your eyes open and do not be confused by the nonsense that weakens your will, disturbs your mind, and distorts your cognition, and you cannot take a few extreme cases as an example and choose to give up and degenerate yourself. There is never a distinction between happiness and unhappiness in education, and real education is never happy!
At the same time, I also ask those who criticize examination-oriented education under the banner of quality education: If you do not understand the significance of examination-oriented education to ordinary people and the country and nation, please be calm and look at China's answer sheet to the world in 10 years; if you understand in your hearts that you are still not honest in your mouth, and even monopolize educational resources in the name of quality education, then you are the enemy of the people.
The hearts of the enemies of all the people are punishable, and their sins cannot be forgiven!"
