Same world, same problem

In the same world, with the same problem,
everyone thinks that education abroad is better than that in our country, especially in Western developed countries. However, if you study the education of various countries carefully, you will find that every family has hard-to-read scriptures. What we have seen The excellent education in the West is not so perfect. The filming time of "Waiting for Superman" was in 2010. From now on, it is not short, but it is not long. The education of American society appears in the documentary. The problem should still not be solved perfectly.
When we wholeheartedly wanted to learn foreign education, we only saw excellent foreign education models, and ignored some of the problems that they did not solve, and "Waiting for Superman" is just a documentary that tears these problems apart from the public.
In the United States, people in the United States think it is an idealized environment with sufficient educational resources. The situation encountered by children and families who are confined to inferior education has never occurred to us. It turns out that it actually exists in American society. , These educational problems are not just problems that our country or even developing countries will encounter. We always complain about how terrible China's test-oriented education system is, and how unfavorable it is for the overall quality development of students. It seems that we who are in it rarely say anything good about it! But regarding the problems that appeared in "Waiting for Superman": low quality of teachers, irresponsibility, insufficient educational resources, high threshold, etc., I can't help but sigh. Fortunately, I was born in China. Perhaps, there will also be problems of uneven distribution of educational resources and insufficient teachers in the country, but overall, the situation does not seem to be as extreme as the United States. It is really difficult for a student who has received a Chinese education from an early age to decide whether a student can enter the school by lottery. Is it a matter of surrendering everything to fate and God to decide? Fairness that seems fair is not fair. Children are not buying lottery tickets when they apply for schools. China's fighting strength still seems more reliable.
The system of "teachers cannot be dismissed for life" may be designed to protect teachers at first, but most of the problems develop in the later stages, and they will deviate from the original idea. In the end, they even become a protective umbrella for some teachers to be lazy and not working. If you remember correctly, there is a part of the screen in the documentary that tells that some teachers who are not working and lacking ability will be concentrated in a specific area for "study seminars" (the description in the film is forgotten), and they drink and drink here Tea, reading newspapers, nothing needs to be done, and the government has to spend money to support them. This reminds me of the redundant official system of the Song Dynasty. Unnecessary expenditures led to the emptiness of the national treasury and eventually even affected the foundation of the country and died. The country is destroyed, and the dynasty is destroyed. If this teacher appointment system is not corrected and resolved, the education problem in the United States will not be truly resolved, and American children will not truly receive an excellent education.
The same world, the same problem, education has always been an issue of common concern for everyone, regardless of age, in some countries and regions. Every parent puts all his heart and soul on the child, hoping that everything that the child comes into contact with is the best, get the best life, the best education, but if the parents are allowed to see the inside story of this kind of education, who Parents will not feel heartache. Children are the future of the country. Without a good education, how could the future of the country be good?
Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. We are in China. Although we complain about it, we still love it deep down in our hearts. Every country has its problems more or less. We We need to concentrate on solving its problems, but also need to see its excellence, so that we can not lose confidence and have the courage to continue. Western education has its advantages. We can communicate and learn, but we cannot use them as the standard. After all, they are not perfect, and they have problems that they have not yet been able to solve.
