Chapter 168: Suddenly Enlightened
After the launch of the "educational machine", it suffered a serious failure, and the sound of returns resounded all over the country.
The most fundamental reason is that this "educational machine" represents a conservative, outdated, stubborn, and backward educational philosophy, which has not been eliminated from the hearts of some education experts.
They ostensibly support and cater to new technologies, but in reality they reject and reject them.
The heart still insists on their unchanged set.
Unwilling to be the dominant position of their education, they gave way to a small learning machine.
But in fact, for most educators, why don't they want the next generation to become stronger and stronger, and the future of country Z to get better and better? Most of them have a dream of becoming a strong country in education.
It's just that...... The shackles in terms of interests are too great.
Hundreds of thousands of after-school tuition institutions.
A group of teachers whose extracurricular tutoring income accounts for 70% of their personal income.
Publisher of tutorial textbooks, workbooks, and test papers.
…… And so on and so forth.
There are too many forces whose interests have been seriously harmed or have been greatly harmed.
In terms of make-up institutions, except for dance, piano, art, calligraphy and other training institutions that have not been affected, the overall performance of training institutions in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and other subjects has fallen by 30% in the past three months.
The more intelligent learning machines are sold, the worse the performance declines, which can be described as a cliff-like decline.
It is expected that the extracurricular training market will shrink by at least 60% in one to two years.
As a result, hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs and hundreds of billions of dollars in economic losses.
With so much damage to interests, who wouldn't fight to the death?
Therefore, after Tang expert went back, he really launched a considerable "energy", which distributed a large number of slanderous and critical voices in public opinion, and various education experts took turns to criticize Xiaoxing learning machine for destroying educational fairness, so that children from poor families could not see the day of their future, resulting in a large number of educators losing their jobs, etc., and the momentum was quite large.
A huge wave of public opinion has been set off.
In the face of countless voices of doubt and criticism.
Xinghai Technology did not refute them one by one, but only published a short sentence on the official Weibo: "Maybe we can't change the status quo, but we can let you see the future." ”
It's just that experts from all walks of life criticized this sentence incompletely, declaring that "fairness cannot be guaranteed, what kind of future can we talk about?" "We don't want such a future! "What changes the status quo? The status quo is the best! ”
Driven by huge interests, experts from all walks of life have exploded in combat effectiveness and have the absolute upper hand in public opinion.
even drove quite a few parents to stand on their side and jointly demanded that the "Little Star Learning Machine" be blocked.
However, behind Xinghai Technology, it is not without the power of solidarity and support.
The entire science and technology circle of country Z is completely on the side of Xinghai Technology.
Many well-known scientists have published blog posts to support Xinghai Technology:
"Hehe, the theism of various education experts makes me feel like I have returned to the 'smashing machine movement' initiated by craftsmen in the early stage of the industrial revolution, I didn't expect to hear similar voices in the 21st century, I heard the ignorance, conservatism, selfishness, and heard the voice of not wanting to give up the interests in my hands, which is quite interesting."
"Educational equity has always been a false proposition! Even if the Xiaoxing learning machine is not launched, our education is not necessarily fair, and those who have money to go to cram schools are unfair compared to those who have no money to go to cram schools; It is also unfair to enter a good school, a good class, and listen to a good teacher's class, compared to those who enter an ordinary school, an ordinary class, and listen to an ordinary teacher's class! Those who repeatedly talk about fairness just don't want to admit it! ”
"Don't choke on food! Xiaoxing learning machine is our future, on behalf of us to control knowledge, become the master of knowledge, indicating that our children are no longer passive recipients of knowledge, this tool, so that we are a child with ordinary qualifications, but also have the possibility of solving complex problems, cutting-edge problems, because every child has a knowledge base, have a 'super brain', as long as children can use this tool well, they are all geniuses!
Don't feel awkward about it, and don't reject tools! The human brain is surpassed by the computer, the computer is smarter than the human brain, this is a very normal thing, the reason why human beings are strong is that we are good at using tools, not to mention, we have other things that we are better at, Xiaoxing learning machine, should be fully promoted! ”
In addition to the voices of scientists, some parents also voiced their support for Xinghai Technology.
A representative parent said:
"I heard some experts say that Xiaoxing learning machine undermines educational fairness, as parents of children, we actually have more right to speak.
My family is a poor household, I am physically disabled and unable to participate in work, and the child's father has a mild intellectual disability, low education, and a monthly income of only more than 1,000 yuan, plus some subsidies from the government, can only barely make ends meet.
Fortunately, we have a healthy child who is also very smart, and he can score more than 80 points in every exam, and my father and I are very happy and hope that he will be successful in the future.
But after going to high school, the child's learning progress is obviously a little unable to keep up.
We didn't have the money to buy him school materials, so he had to go to the scrap yard next to the school to find them.
He didn't have the money to sign up for tens of thousands of training courses, so he could only study on his own.
He couldn't even get the make-up fee for the summer vacation, so he couldn't participate in the summer make-up class, but the teacher at the beginning of the new semester tacitly accepted that all the students had made up the class, and a lot of knowledge was skipped, and my child couldn't keep up with it.
Once the child told me that he was the first in his class, and it cost 40,000 yuan to apply for a math class and 20,000 yuan to apply for an English class, and the child said that he wanted to be the first in the class, but he couldn't do it.
I saw from the child's eyes that his inferiority complex and frustration, unable to catch up, no matter how diligent and hard he was, he could only hover in the thirtieth or forty in the class, and other children with similar intelligence to him enjoyed much more educational resources than him.
In this race, he lost at the starting line.
Until I gritted my teeth, scraped together, took out all my savings, and bought a Xiaoxing learning machine! My child confidently said that he was not afraid of those honor students, and in just two months, his academic performance rushed from the 36th in the class to the 2nd in the class...... The homeroom teacher and classmates all said that he plagiarized, so I posted a video of the child still holding the learning machine at 3 o'clock in the morning in the class group...... The voices of doubt are all gone.
Fair?
I'm thankful that the education experts brought up the term and that they remembered us.
But for a family like mine, for my children, the Little Star Learning Machine is fair, and it is fair to grit your teeth and afford it!
Please don't take away this fairness! ”
Rumble~
After the article went viral, public opinion began to reverse.
Scientists in the scientific community also wrote a joint letter of "Support for the Promotion of Xiaoxing Learning Machine" and sent it to the highest level.
……
October 15th.
Minister Yuan of the Ministry of Education personally led a team to Xinghai Company, and after a short conversation between the two sides, they came up with a final solution to deal with the "education machine turmoil".
The main ones are as follows:
1. The 10.2 million "educational machines" of the first version were all scrapped and temporarily recycled.
2. Xinghai Company sent technical personnel to replace the operating system of this batch of "educational machines", flashed into a small star system, and then returned it to the students, and compensated Xinghai Company for 300 yuan for each brushing task.
3. In the follow-up education machine 2.0, the Ministry of Education will carry out in-depth cooperation with Xinghai Company, adopt the knowledge tree of Xiaoxing learning machine, add the function of "ten thousand questions and answers", and the function of "auxiliary answers" will not be castrated...... The technical standards are on par with the Xiaoxing learning machine.
4. In the future, the intelligent learning machine produced by the Great Wall Electronics Foundry will be 50% for the Ministry of Education and Xinghai Company.
After the solution was announced, the mood of the majority of students and parents quickly stabilized, and they expressed their willingness to hand over the "education machine" and let Xinghai Technology Company become a "Xiaoxing learning machine".
After the conversation.
Chen Jin asked with some curiosity: "Minister Yuan, that Tang expert went there, why didn't he come with him this time?" ”
"Shuanggui, privately accepted more than 80 million other people's property, and the group of experts in the expert group also 'retired' more than half...... In the future, as long as you don't touch those sensitive things, your company's smart learning machine can be promoted boldly and confidently. ”
Minister Yuan shook his head and said.
Oh~
Chen Jin's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt enlightened.
