Chapter 852: Secondary 2 Teenager VS Senior 3 Child
"Yesterday, I was glad to hear that Captain Lin Miao Lin took the first place in the school again, it may be that Captain Lin has lofty ideals, but this time the news was not through the news media, but I learned it from my friends.
Compared with my own unproductive appearance when I was young, when I was lucky enough to get the first place off work, I couldn't help but feel deeply ashamed and humiliated. I am sorry for the parents, country and people who raised, raised and educated me, I am really a disloyal, unfilial, unkind, unrighteous and uneducated person (this sentence is Captain Lin's comment on me, not my own words).
I want to go back to the last time I met Captain Lin, it was at the end of last year, time flies, half a year later, Captain Lin is already one of the tens of millions of students in the country, and I have changed from an ordinary high school student to an ordinary high school dropout. In the past six months, Captain Lin has worked hard and scored all the way from 625 to 652 points, which is simply a model among all outstanding student models in the country, and a role model among role models.
There are a total of 100,000 days and nights in life, and Captain Lin is willing to spend nearly 200 days tirelessly, just to turn 625 into 652, I asked myself if I can't be as tenacious as Captain Lin, and the pursuit of Captain Lin's life, like me, can't even get through the first year of high school, I can only use these two words to express my feelings and admiration: my day.
You know, in the same half a year, not only did I not learn a single math problem, but I also forgot everything I had learned before. If I were to go back to take the high school entrance examination now, I would not even be able to take the secondary school entrance examination in Shanghai. Thinking about it like this, I suddenly felt that I would feel even more inferior in the face of Captain Lin in the future. I'm such a big person, why can't I do the questions?
Fortunately, I didn't know how to do the questions, which didn't affect my livelihood.
Luckily, I was alone and survived, not by what was taught in school.
Of course, I'm not saying that the content taught in school is completely useless, at least the knowledge before the second year of junior high school, I think it still really helps me. At least I can read and write now, and I am quite proficient in simple mathematical calculations, but I can't do it, with my inferior elementary Chinese credentials, I use a calculator to bargain with the boss, and no one will laugh at my poor learning, I actually don't list the steps of the equation on paper in detail first, and the boss, as a master who returned from studying in the UK, actually uses a calculator like me! The defective products of our two Chinese education systems are really a shame for the Chinese people.
In the six months that I have been with the boss, as one of the first batch of professional racing drivers in China, I have an overall understanding of professional racing from driving skills to racing structure to event operation and industry rules.
What does this mean? It means that I spent half a year to find out the whole situation of a new industry in China, in the words of the education system, I should almost be the level of a subject leader, if we also have a special structure, can publish some papers recognized by the education system, I should now be the level of doctoral supervisor in the racing subject (this sentence is not my own words, it is my boss's evaluation of me, I don't know if it's right).
I don't say this to show off.
It's just that I can't help but remember some of the things that Captain Lin once said to me. After recording the program with Captain Lin last year, to be honest, I was deeply shocked by Captain Lin's lofty ideological realm of wholeheartedly thinking about the people of the motherland.
The fact that a nine-year-old can see higher and farther than me, an eighteen-year-old boy, really makes me feel very frightened.
But at the same time, it also made me think about this question:
Is Captain Lin's lofty position a distortion of human nature or a moral artificiality?
I don't mean to sarcastically mock Captain Lin or anything, I just want to say that a normal nine-year-old child will definitely not reach the height of Captain Lin. His sense of mission was so strong, so holy that it seemed to be shining, and that light was like God's will—
Captain Lin said that there should be light, and the light blinded me.
When I was half-asleep this morning, I suddenly recalled the scene of meeting Captain Lin in the studio that day. On that day, the studio was full of Captain Lin's people, not only the security guards, nannies and wet nurses brought by Captain Lin, but also a large number of uncles and aunts who heard that they were enthusiastic viewers but were only enthusiastic about my grades, to be honest, it was difficult for normal people to play at a normal level in that environment, so it wasn't until this morning that I finally reviewed the situation that day.
When I faced the camera that day, I actually had a lot of things I wanted to say but couldn't say due to the pressure of the environment and atmosphere.
These words are really not unpleasant to hold in my heart, so I must explain them to all my readers again in plain text. Because it is explained on Captain Lin's territory (thank you for the platform provided by Someow Blog, although the code was not typed by Captain Lin himself, but Captain Lin, who invested in it), so in order to take care of Captain Lin's aesthetics, I will use the Chinese reading logic that Captain Lin loves, and tell you these words in an orderly manner.
First of all, Captain Lin said the importance of the college entrance examination that day, and said that carrying out quality education is destroying the foundation of the country, which is obviously a change of concept. I have never denied the importance of the college entrance examination, but I know that I have only put forward a proposal to adopt another way of teaching, and the country can still have one country, two systems, but the education system will not work?
Captain Lin is dedicated to the country, I can understand it, but you can't be too domineering and don't give others the right to choose at all. In my own case, I hope to receive a quality education, I have no regrets, I will not study well in the future, and I will never be angry with anyone - not to mention that now it turns out that I have actually learned well, at least I have not caused trouble to the country, and I have successfully supported myself, I am of good character, I pay taxes on time, I have never been a traitor, and I am fully sound from intelligence to psychology.
Therefore, there is no contradiction between the development of quality education and the continuation of the existing education system. The real contradiction is that some people have to stand in their own shoes to prevent others from making their own choices. As for what Captain Lin said about the fact that children in poor and marginal areas cannot afford the cost of quality education, then quality education can be carried out in some cities in stages. Why don't you try the head office? Even if you only try 1 or 2 schools in each city?
Secondly, Captain Lin said that the college entrance examination line is the IQ line, which is also too absolute. Because I dare to guarantee that Einstein will come to China to take the college entrance examination, he can get a maximum of 20 points in the language test, which is the first 5 multiple-choice questions, and he will get a full score if he tries his luck. But can you say that Einstein didn't have a high IQ? Of course, this is an extreme example.
What I really want to say is that a person's IQ is definitely not reflected by the gap of 1 or 2 points in the college entrance examination, and the college entrance examination is a form of selecting talents with standard answers, and it is well known that it stifles students' creativity. And what Captain Lin needs to understand is that it is those who are extraordinarily creative who lead mankind to today's high-tech society.
Is our education in the selection of a large number of ordinary talents that Captain Lin hopes to see, or is it burying a few talents who are despised by him, who are not good at Chinese and English, and even have average mathematical ability, but who always have wonderful ideas but are doomed to fail miserably in the college entrance examination? When the shortcomings of examination-oriented education are so obvious, is quality education so difficult as a supplement? Or does Captain Lin feel that the only way to test a person's ability is to take the exam.
How can those who are not good at exams, but are geniuses in other areas, come out of this?
Finally, let's talk about Captain Lin's misunderstanding of the American education system. Captain Lin said on the program that the United States is also based on test-oriented education. Half a year ago, due to my loneliness, I had never gone abroad, and I was frightened by Captain Lin. But recently, I learned from my boss who returned from studying in the UK that the current education system in foreign countries is exactly what I said, a combination of examination-oriented education and quality education. Places like the United States and the United Kingdom send a large number of students to the top schools around the world every year for their athletic and artistic prowess. They only need to get a passing score around the passing mark in their country's college entrance examination to get the opportunity to be personally mentored by top masters in the field, thus further amplifying their professional advantages.
And a large proportion of these children are children of poor families.
The reason why these children can afford the quality education that Captain Lin said is because their country and society provide them with the conditions they deserve. The development of quality education abroad has not only weakened their national strength, as Captain Lin said, but has promoted the educational fairness of their entire society.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with quality education, but what is wrong is that our country's current national strength is still limited, so as I said earlier - even if it is carried out on a pilot basis in 1 or 2 cities first, it is better than rashly and comprehensively denying it, right?
These days, I've been thinking about what the essence of learning really is.
I thought about the first day I went to the capital, walked into an auto repair shop in a daze, and now half a year later, I can talk and laugh with all the auto mechanics and discuss how to install the car, so as to get better balance and stronger power, and then unconsciously, I have become an expert in this area. Truth be told, the process was a lot of fun. Very happy. It is the joy of learning.
Captain Lin: Let me tell you from my own experience that you can be happy when you study!
The Tao Te Ching says: Tao can be the way, the very way, the name can be named, the very name. There is nothing that is spotless in the world, including the education system and learning methods. Today's world is no longer the world that could only rely on eight strands to get ahead hundreds of years ago. Among my parents, there were a lot of people who had only graduated from junior high school at most, but they made a name for themselves.
Of course, I'm not saying that learning isn't necessary, but that the ways of learning can be completely diverse.
What you had to do to study this math problem in school was learning, and I was also learning how to modify a race car in a garage. You memorize texts in school to study, and the singing and shouting I heard in the street this morning, if that old man has an apprentice to learn from him, it is also learning. The purpose of learning is to enable people to survive better in this society. But one of the misunderstandings we are entering now is that some people may never be able to score more than 600 points or even 500 points like Captain Lin for one reason or another, but we always demand them with Captain Lin's ability.
And if these people can be exposed to the things they are talented and can do well as soon as possible, or provide them with such conditions as much as possible, they may be better able to become talents, instead of wasting their precious time in places where they are not good at.
Where I grew up, I was taught by old people that time is life and time is money. Therefore, in my opinion, the biggest problem in China's education is that under the banner of learning, it is killing the vast majority of people for money.
Some people interpret learning two words narrowly as equivalent to an exam. But I think those who are not good at exams are by no means disinterested in studying, but simply not finding a study style and method that suits them.
Dear Captain Lin, let these people go. I'm begging you.
Wonhan, May 2, 1998, in the fork of the courtyard of the palace maid in the capital of Beijing. (Don't send me any more gifts, it's not easy for everyone to live, and you have good intentions.) Keep the money and buy a musical instrument for your children or yourself. The country needs artists. )”
When she got home in the evening, Lin Miao sat in her office on the third floor of her house and spent 10 minutes reading this unnutritious thing.
Then he folded the newspaper casually and sighed slightly.
Huang Qingqing asked, "Boss, what do you think of his writing?"
Lin Miao said lightly: "If a person is keen to think without reading, then basically the greater the social influence, the more likely every word he writes is to bring disaster to the country and the people." But that's not the scariest thing. The most terrifying thing is that there must be a large number of people in society who respond to this person who does not read, do you know why?"
Huang Qingqing asked curiously, "Why?"
Lin Miao said: "Because a larger part of the people not only don't read, but also habitually give up using their brains, they will believe what others say." And the more you can find a reason for them to be lazy, the more people will believe it. This is called the theoretical level of interest, and if you think that a truth is good for you, you will naturally believe in it.
The academic performance of students in school is good and bad, but in general, the poor ones are much better, because it is easier to persist in depravity than to persist in hard work. Yuan Han himself doesn't want to work hard, and he has to find a reason for a large group of stupid people to be lazy together, this kid, you see that he is smart and trembling, in fact, he is showing his stupidest side to the society. Wait for another 20 years, wait for the people who let go of themselves with Yuan Han suffer, and when other people see the evil consequences of quality education, they know that it hurts, and their brains will be clear. ”
Huang Qingqing asked weakly: "Then he is so named now, do you want to reply to him?"
Lin Miao smiled: "What do you say?"
Huang Qingqing didn't know what Lin Miao's "what do you say" mean, so he obediently closed his mouth.
The next day, Yuan Han's "Talking about Learning" was published in the "Shanghai Morning Post".
For a time, the scum of students across the country was boiling, and on campuses such as the 18th Middle School, there were endless voices criticizing exam-oriented education.
Even a few teachers were shaken by their buttocks.
At the same time, the call for Lin Miao to come out and take two steps also increased, and "Captain Lin" as a contemptuous title was widely circulated among the scumbag group. In the search meow post bar, a large number of voices unilaterally announcing Yuan Han's victory emerged within a few days, and various voices intensified, ironizing Lin Miao when he was a shrinking turtle, Lin Miao, who was only focused on the exam, received a call from Wei Jun.
Wei Jun said helplessly: "Little junior brother, say a few words." If we don't grab the position of public opinion ourselves, then it will all be occupied by the enemy. ”
Lin Miao thought about it after hearing this, and couldn't help but lean in.
I've been really confused in the past few days, and I haven't thought about it at all, although even if Yuan Han shouts his throat, it is impossible to affect national decision-making, but the problem is his reputation in society, in case he is smeared one-sidedly, and if he wants to wash his name in the future, it will not be easy.
"Grandma is a bear, Yuanhan, the second disease, is really annoying to spread to the whole country......"
Lin Miao hung up the call and looked at the time displayed on the phone, it was 10 o'clock in the evening.
However, we must not sit idly by and watch the public opinion environment continue to deteriorate.
He sighed, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples.
After sitting in front of the computer for a while, I turned on the power.
"Qingqing!"
"Huh!"
"Give Dongou Daily a call and ask them to leave me a page, and I'll deliver it before 12 o'clock. ”
"Good. ”
