Volume I, Reliving 02 Chapter 72 The State of Education

Thursday, July 11.

This day was the day when Zhang Ziqi participated in the recording of the show in the capital, and it was also the last day of Lin Ming's final exam.

There was a lot of traffic outside No. 4 Middle School, with buses and private cars coming and going on the congested roads. Because of the large traffic flow, there are always students shuttling in the sea of traffic, and it is easy to have emergency braking, which makes every driver drive carefully.

After several days of heavy rain, it finally began to clear up. Although it wasn't sunny, at least the weather was much better, and the air was wet and smelled damp. It's like washing your face without drying it with a towel.

Lin Ming walked in the crowd of students, surrounded by students and parents. Half of the students live on campus, a quarter go to school, and the remaining quarter are accompanied.

Many parents send their children to the school gate, and they do not forget to tell them all kinds of exam secrets, "Son, be calm and calm." This afternoon's last big course, mathematics, is your strength in getting points, as long as you rank in the top 100 of the grade, you will get nine out of ten. Carefully review the topic, don't let go of any detail, do you know? ”

"Maolituo, difficult test ability, easy question test standard. If the questions in this exam are difficult, you should pay attention to the method and do what you can. First, finish the easy, knowable, and score-earning questions, and then carefully standardize and check them to make sure that there are no problems, and then go to overcome the difficulties. ”

"Mentality is very important, when I took the college entrance examination, there were only two people in the entire county who were admitted to university, why was I among them? Just because I'm a little calmer than others, daughter, take it easy and take the test boldly. Believe in yourself to succeed. ”

"Xinxin, don't go home for dinner when you go home at noon, mom will send you to school. Hurry up and read the book, what if you just happen to see the test center in the afternoon? Mom didn't read, so she expected you to be admitted to college and raise your eyebrows. ”

I hope that my son will become a dragon, and I hope that my daughter will become a phoenix. There are all kinds of people in the world, and there are all kinds of life. At this moment, it seems to be vivid, but it pities the hearts of parents all over the world, and breaks their hearts for their children.

Lin Ming saw more than one student with an anxious and uneasy state of mind, although it was only the final exam of the first and second years of high school, it determined your status ranking and academic performance in the class in the coming year. It also determines whether you will continue to work hard this year, and the exam ranking is everything to students and students' lives.

Because the students of No. 4 Middle School are far from being as glamorous as No. 1 Middle School, many of them come from the rural areas around Yuncheng, and they work hard to change their fate in order to be admitted to university. Therefore, this exam is not only about their current exam, but also about their future and their destiny in life.

Lin Ming was like a bystander, watching the traffic from the sidelines, watching the students at the school gate, entering the examination room one by one, and the expressions of those parents were richer, expecting, worried, and anxious..... All kinds of demeanors form a portrait of floating beings.

This is the current state of test-oriented education in the country. Exams, an eternal topic, are determined for life. With the mid-term and final exams, it determines your ranking in the grade, and also determines whether you can go to a prestigious school in the future and glorify your ancestors.

Lin Ming was suddenly in a trance, looking at the uneasy students in front of him, but many years later, the education system of our country was criticized and spurned on the Internet like a tide.....

At that time, with the development of the times and the improvement of the economic level, the Internet and news media widely began to pay attention to the issue of education. The domestic examination-oriented education system has been in place for many years and has been criticized. Some people say that it kills children's nature, so that children are busy studying to cope with exams from an early age, and they are unable to develop extracurricular hobbies at all. Others say that it is unfair and biased, and that test scores have become the life of students, parents and schools. The roots, everything is only high and low, so that some students who are seriously biased have been buried since then. Some people even say that exam-oriented education is simply a kind of dross, and dumb English, high scores and low energy frequently appear, which is the greatest sorrow of the Chinese people.

Some people even trumpeted that reading was useless, saying that Bill Gates dropped out of school to start a company, which made him the richest man in the world. If he had continued his studies, he would not have been able to create Microsoft. And there are nouveau riche bosses everywhere in life who haven't even graduated from elementary school, and when they come out of school, don't they have to work for them?

So, what's the point of reading? It is better to come out early to mix in society, be self-reliant, and work hard to create your own tomorrow with both hands. When you become your boss, let those college students work for you, and tell them that the meaning of life is not as simple as studying.

This seems to have become a social norm, especially in later years. College students are not as good as dogs, and graduate students are all over the place. The educational mechanism and the theory that reading is useless are becoming more and more intense, and such posts can be seen everywhere on the Internet.

Overwhelming, like a tide.

Some people also retort that studying is to find a good job, pave the way for buying a car and a house in the future, and get rid of the problem of family poverty. But there are countless examples, both now and in the future, that academic qualifications are not the only criterion for obtaining wealth. Most of the people who went to sea to do business in the 80s and 90s did not even graduate from primary school. In real life, we often meet some nouveau riche bosses, who are bold and careful, seize business opportunities and get rich with their own hands. I haven't seen anyone who doesn't study, and they will have to be poor for the rest of their lives. It seems that there are many such examples around Lin Ming, his uncle Fang Junxiong, who studied in the second grade of primary school, is still worth tens of millions.

On the contrary, many people who come out of school have lived a life of inactivity. Nothing was done, and even when he died, he still lived in the house allocated by the unit, leaving no inheritance for future generations. Lin Ming later had a brother's father in college, a junior college student in the 80s, who had been a university teacher for a lifetime, and this was the end.

So this is not a story that can be seen on the Internet in later generations, in fact, there are many realistic examples around everyone, Lin Ming's grades in school in his previous life were not the top, but after he came out, he still mixed better than some classmates with higher academic qualifications, and even the monthly income gap was very large.

There are too many and varied deeds in this world, which makes people in later generations feel more and more that the test-oriented education mechanism is really problematic. Reading is gradually demonized, and even many families have begun to think about how to cultivate their children's interests and set up private home classes, so that they can get rid of exam-oriented education and let themselves choose their own lives. I have to say that this seems to be a process of social advancement, just like the interest education in the West, full of new educational significance. But this is only a small part, the foundation of elite education is to have a certain amount of financial resources in addition to their own food and clothing. If you can't even solve the problem of food and clothing, you can't talk about what kind of interest education and elite education you can play again.

It turns out that the social atmosphere has high requirements for academic diplomas, and good university diplomas have become a surging commodity, and the importance of reading has become more and more important. It makes people regard reading as the only way for a carp to leap into the dragon gate, and they take it very seriously after ten years of hard study.

However, with the development of society, more than ten years later, people gradually found that good does not necessarily have good abilities. A typical example is that Lin Ming was born in the choreography and directing class, and some students in the class had good camera skills, and some students had post-production talents. Others simply mixed up for four years, played games in an Internet café for four years, and didn't learn anything.

Therefore, in Lin Ming's view, the importance of learning actually lies in whether you really want to learn a certain skill, and then use this skill to become the foundation of your survival, the ladder of progress, rather than having to stay in the classroom and books to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry, rote memorization and change.

This is also the reason why he does not criticize the Han Han-style phenomenon.

However.

He doesn't criticize, and it doesn't mean that he supports it.

Because those who hold their hands on the keyboard and criticize exam-oriented education every day can never do without the computer and go to the countryside to see the reality of society and the current situation of the contemporary world.

In 2002, our country was still in a stage of development in which we were striving to build an economy and move towards a moderately prosperous life for the people. There are 28 million poor people in China, and some people may be surprised that there are so few poor people in our country, only 28 million out of 1.28 billion, which shows that our country has done a good job in poverty alleviation.

But if you look up the meaning of the poor, you won't think so. The poor mean those who cannot afford to eat, study, or see a doctor, and who struggle to make ends meet every day. In short, it is a person who can't even afford to eat and has no clothes, so he is called a poor person!

These people, let alone studying, don't even have the next meal, let alone think about education.

Besides.

In 2002, there were more than 800 million people living in rural areas, accounting for 64% of the country's population, and the average income was 2,476 yuan per year, which means that it was about 200 yuan a month. can barely solve the problem of eating, when it comes to reading, it is difficult for a strong man. Even if you can afford to go to school, you may even have to borrow textbooks.

At this time, the implementation of the compulsory education system in our country is itself a very conscientious education. It gives children who can't afford to read a chance to go to college. Have the opportunity to change your destiny, go to the city, find a job, support your family, and make your life more quality!

So those who criticize the sadness of exam-oriented education in China, how bad cramming education is, is a kind of joke. When you can't even afford to eat, the state provides you with free education and uses huge education funds to make up for the huge population base. So that everyone can afford to go to school, learn knowledge, and change their destiny. Even if this kind of education is a kind of extensive cramming education, it is completely understandable. Because the country is already in the stage of economic development, it is necessary not only to build education, but also to take into account the development of national defense, water conservancy, public facilities, culture, medical care, urbanization, etc., how can there be so much money to learn from Western countries and give each of you targeted training?

Different education methods can only be adapted to different national conditions. When you are born into a family that has difficulty eating, it is very satisfying to be able to afford to eat and read. Where does elite education come from, and where does it come from the problem of stifling children's nature?

Therefore, when people are satisfied with food and clothing, they begin to think about education and quality of life, which is understandable. But if you deny it completely, it is purely full of food and support. The reflection should not be on the education of the country as a whole, but on the education of wealthy families themselves.

If you have money, of course, you can choose to cultivate your child's interest and let your child become a genius and elite in some way. You can even let your child study abroad and become a turtle. Because it's your freedom and it's your right. But when you have enough to eat and drink, please don't point fingers at those who are still struggling on the poverty line, because they don't have the money to do anything to cultivate their interests, and they don't have the money to let their children study abroad to get a better education, but they also have the right to education. Even that kind of cramming for exam-oriented education is better than being an illiterate person with no knowledge, working in the fields in the countryside all his life, trapped in the countryside and continuing to live in poverty for generations.

Therefore.

Lin Ming does not object to those who rely on their own talents, do not study, and have their own skills to fend for themselves.

What he hated was those who had to eat a full meal and had to pick and choose. People who always think that they are reflecting on and criticizing social phenomena and educational mechanisms, are reflective thinking that is beneficial to the people, and are the main force in promoting social reform, but they have never considered the current social situation and reality.

This group of people is the scum and cancer of society.

Because what they really want to defend is never the interests of the broad masses of the people, but the interests of their own class. They are only putting on the guise of speaking for the people to oppose the educational mechanism that seeks the interests of the people.

They should be cut by a thousand cuts.
