Chapter 342: The Dilemma of Anti-Intellectualism

However, although Liang Yu's idea is good, the practical problems are difficult. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With the end of World War II, the solemn and tense Cold War confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union gradually came to an end, and the world as a whole ushered in a long period of considerable peace. However, although such an environment is extremely beneficial to the security of the earth and human development, it has lost the impetus of a sense of crisis, and the education system for all, that is, the compulsory education system, which has brought great impetus to the entire human civilization, is slowly falling into a bad situation of self-festering.

As the birthplace of modern civilization and the industrial revolution, the most developed countries in Europe and the United States on the earth have abandoned the foundation on which they relied and began to promote and advocate the so-called happy education.

It is not about learning and receiving knowledge, but only about how students feel during class.... Is it fun? Isn't it interesting? Even putting aside the assessment of grades and the mastery of knowledge, and no longer caring about whether students have learned or not, this is simply a typical anti-intellectualism and irresponsible for the development of the whole society!

As for the purpose behind this, whether it is to reduce the competitiveness of the majority of ordinary people for the descendants of those with vested interests, or whether it is really important to focus on the human rights and feelings of students, Liang Yu does not know, anyway, he only knows that it is precisely by relying on this insistence on happy education for decades that the strength of those developed countries in Europe and the United States began to stagnate, and gradually caught up quickly by China.

This once again proves the price of important knowledge being grasped by a small number of people, that is, the degree of industrialization of a society that complements civilization is difficult to spread rapidly, and even the European and American countries that have completed and led the three industrial revolutions have begun the process of self-regression of deindustrialization. It's not that they don't want to go further, it's that without an education system for all, which allows for the rapid spread and mastery of advanced knowledge, they have lost the potential to continue to develop.

If it was just that, Liang Yu would probably be very happy.

The development of civilization is like sailing against the current, and if it does not advance, it will retreat, and it has lost the greatest impetus for redevelopment, and it is only a matter of time before China wants to surpass European and American countries. The advanced technology he came up with can also be quickly updated and popularized from generation to generation through a perfect national education system.

But the problem is that under the desperate promotion of a group of shameless public, intellectual, big and dog-legged eagles, this kind of anti-intellectualism has actually been poisoned in a different way and has begun to affect the country.

In fact, Liang Yu discovered the problem of unbalanced investment in the domestic education industry very early.

Compared with a few large cities and key schools, which have the best teachers and educational environment in China, most ordinary schools in urban and rural areas lack the basic conditions suitable for students to enroll..... The school buildings are in disrepair, the teaching concept is backward, the financial situation is too poor, and the poor treatment has led to the lack of young teachers who are not good enough to settle in all the year round, etc., and there are huge differences in this, even to the point that many school teachers themselves have given up and treated education, the most important future cause of mankind, as an ordinary job.

When the development of education is no longer valued by the majority, many problems are naturally exposed.

Just look at the current educational chaos in China, we know that in addition to formal public schools, all kinds of private schools and tutoring institutions that lack the qualifications and conditions for running schools have sprung up, and the booming extracurricular tutoring industry has become the main source of extra money for many teachers, and its importance is even more than ordinary classes, in a word, it is for money.

In order to cope with this situation, the state has to reduce the number of public schools on a large scale, concentrate limited resources, and ensure the teaching quality of some public schools, which gives many people room to operate. Most schools have started to divide into different classes, and some students are given special care, and other students are treated like sheep, as long as it does not cause a bad effect, no matter how you play in class, sleep in class, or even do not come to class.

This creates a vicious circle.

In order to provide their children with a better educational environment and better teachers, many parents who are unable to enter formal public schools choose to spend more money to go to private schools, key classes, and tutoring institutions.

At the same time, as tuition fees continue to rise, the normal level of teaching continues to decline, and more ordinary students swallow the consequences of their brewing.

Even if these students want to study well and become useful people in society, there is no point in it.

Because, at the starting line of life, they have been excluded early.

What is even more frightening is that the so-called concept of quality education, which has gradually become popular, further distorts the values of most people, making them ignore the most important thing in the education process, which is to reflect its fairness.

It's not that it's bad to learn something else, art can cultivate sentiment and inspire creativity, and sports can also strengthen the body and make people physically and mentally healthy, but this does not constitute an additional means of competition for most people.

When many people use these off-the-field factors to highlight their own existence, and use them to ridicule and suppress the aggressiveness of others, it is undoubtedly another level of school bullying, which makes others in it feel hopeless and powerless that is different from the normal process of competition.

This is definitely contrary to the concept of education and the original intention.

Liang Yu knows very well that if these problems cannot be solved, it is likely that the education situation in China will evolve into the same as that of Japan and South Korea in the future, and most ordinary students recognize the cruelty and reality of society as early as possible, and choose to suppress the realization of their ideals. And those who aspire to dream will also face even more difficult obstacles - compared to the extracurricular tutoring industry that has reached the peak in China, the current situation of public education in Japan and South Korea has made the vast majority of students and families have to pay a greater and more expensive price to get into the ideal school, otherwise, they will not want to compete with others at all.

It is not surprising that most public schools have become places for sheep and pigs, and only a small number of private aristocratic schools have become fast tracks to the upper echelons of the state.

People are always selfish, and under the conditions that are conducive to their own competition, the vast majority of people will naturally choose to harm the rights and interests of others.

So although the idea is good, Liang Yu's plan to change the current situation of the education industry is not as easy as improving the power grid water conservancy engineering technology. The vast majority of the latter's power is concentrated in the hands of a few state-owned companies, and as long as they have the support of the upper echelons of the state, they can be smoothly cooperated with a single order, but the former is undoubtedly going to work head-on with those vested interests who control the majority of the wealth and power in the whole society........
