I just came back after the parent meeting, and I was extremely anxious. I feel even more empathetic to this documentary about American education.
The film focuses on public education in elementary and secondary schools in the United States. It believes that low-quality teachers and insensitive school bureaucracy prevent students from getting a good education.
It turns out that foreign countries also have various problems in school education. The situation in China is not surprising. Various tuition institutions have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the prices are ridiculously expensive. In the past, children who did not learn well had to make up lessons, but now they are learning to make up more. Some children start from kindergarten to various classes, and then start the road of competition. Why is it so? Is there not enough learning in the school? right! Now the school teaches how to knead dough, but the exam asks you to make French bread directly, can you not open a small stove? Besides, other people have learned it in advance, which means you are learning for the first time and others are reviewing it. Can you not fall behind? All kinds of talents gather in big cities, and competition is naturally fierce, so the pressure will eventually be reflected on the children.
In the final analysis, our education now is to "fight father and mother", that is, it is inseparable from money. Capable parents prefer private schools, while ordinary families squeeze their heads into "prestigious schools" in some public schools. Children must not only be clever and have good quality, but also have good luck, because in some areas, starting from kindergarten, they can enter the kindergarten through "lottery lottery". Let’s work hard to make money for children to suffer less! The parent meeting is really a good place for inspiration!
Instead of waiting for Superman, it is better to expect monsters to appear and completely destroy this numb and cold world. Only when such a monster appears, can there be "Superman" to make another revolution. The most popular profession in the future should be a psychologist, because parents are crazy!
