"Only when our freedom is in the hands of the people themselves, in the hands of the people who have received a certain degree of education, will it be safe and reliable."
-Jefferson

Recently, I read a piece of news on the Internet. The Americans conducted their own investigation and found that 63% of Americans did not know where the United States is, but agreed to start a war against the three fat guys. ) As liberal intellectuals, I can't help but worry about the IQ of the "little pink" of the liberal "beacon" country. Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of the United States and the third president, established (after the founding of the country) the first university of the United States. His elder said: "Our country is safe and reliable only in the hands of educated people." The elements are divided into two factions. Not to mention the "Long live the people", liberal intellectuals are often wary of the "majority tyranny." After reading this news, I personally think that Lao Mei is indeed on the evil path of "tyranny of the majority".

So I watched this film. The result is seven points of worry and three points of disaster. I used to hear Mr. Gao Xiaosong, an old overseas Chinese in the United States, saying that the American masses are ignorant and arrogant. I am skeptical. Unexpectedly, the basic education in the United States, especially the basic education for the poor, has been ruined to such an extent. Compare with the test-oriented, mechanical, and cruelly eliminated education in China. I think that the counterparts are in power, and China’s education is more equitable, especially for the poor.

It seems that "the American emperor is decayed day by day, and China is getting better day by day." However, as some people in Zhihu have said, China's education is also making great strides towards the aristocratic and wealthy American emperor day by day, such as college entrance examination scores. Volume, such as the school district room. This is actually worrying. China has invented the imperial examination system since ancient times to guide the movement of classes. The imperial examination is known as China's fifth greatest invention. It is said that during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, 50% of Juren were farmers within three generations. This tradition cannot be lost.

When I was in school, it was the time of the third Internet revolution. Therefore, not only China, but also Japanese and Korean education criticizes the cruelty and rigidity of education in their home countries, and lacks creativity and independent spirit. Now, Chinese mathematics textbooks are imported from the UK to the US KIPP. East Asian education has been revived in the West instead. In fact, this is not a contradiction. The education of foreigners is too free, and the education of East Asia is too rigid. It is too late to pass. Eastern and Western educators are actually on the road in the middle.

Regarding Eastern and Western education, in fact, one podium and several desks in East Asian education originated from the West, which is called the "Prussian-Czech Education Law". The so-called quality education in Western education is actually the return of classical education. For example, the education of Confucius is a typical Western quality education. The famous piece "Zi Lu Zeng Xi Ran You Gong Xihua Sitting in the Analects" is an example. Teachers and students communicate on an equal footing, as well as music. According to "Xunzi", when Shao Zhengmao started "New Oriental", Confucius Except for Yan Hui, all the disciples went to the teacher to listen to the class. This is called "three gains and three emptiness".

It should be said that Western education is to train high-level talents, or aristocratic rulers. The Eastern Czech education law is born out of time, is a product of industrial and commercial civilization, and cultivates skilled industrial workers. Demei is the rise of the second industrial revolution, and it is absolutely inseparable from this kind of factory production people! These workers are also the foundation of the vast middle class in the olive society that the West is proud of. In the film "Forrest Gump", the school that little Forrest Gump goes to is this model. In modern times, Western developed countries are in the post-industrial era or the industrial era. So whether education should be reformed or not is questionable. As far as China is concerned, Oriental education has indeed cultivated a large number of basic talents of worker bee type. As for some people say that China has more than copycats and insufficient innovation. This may not be true. Especially in the past two years, the development of China's Internet and the progress of basic science partly refute this. Although there is still a huge gap with the U.S., Japan and Germany are already indistinguishable from each other. In fact, Japan has already proven the success of East Asian education in the 1990s.

The issue of education is really "Yao and Shun's illnesses are caused by illnesses," and it is a big problem that politicians all over the world are "illnessed for." In the past few years, the people complained that the masses made up a paragraph called "Black Snake and White Snake Cobra", judges are still black, doctors wear white, teachers wear mirrors, and the people are abhorrent, so they feel blamed. In fact, the American emperor is the same. In fact, the lawyer representing the American Emperor Black Snake and the White Snake Cobra are in the same of China. It is true that the beautiful people are suffering, but the Chinese people are suffering. The issue of education still has medicine for China. It's just one volume and one set of teaching materials across the country. Then change politics into something like a civic quality course. Regarding the education of the American emperor, after watching this film, I was really a little desperate. I can only say, "Since Jefferson is underground, and Empress is born in front of the grave, can you care about it?"

But this is a movie after all. Why is the United States a dominant country? Why is China catching up with American imperialism? On the one hand, there are a large number of these two ethnic groups who don't know where North Korea is, and when they see their national flags, the people climax. On the other hand, there are also a few intellectuals who have clear brains and speak strange things. Mr. Lu Xun said: There are few hangers in China who dare to soothe a traitor. We are inferior to the American emperor. But on the other hand, it's better now. And it must be said that there is nothing wrong with letting the public know what to say, but it must not be allowed to be fooled by what is known. Take Meng Ke, for example, every sentence he said is correct. Can you engage in mine fields in his own way?

Let me rant here. I watched this documentary that the American citizenship class is to recite a paragraph of "Love the Motherland, Love Freedom and Defend the Constitution" before the class. In the early years, we also sang "The East Is Red" and "The Internationale"; I didn't expect that the imperialists would ask for instructions sang:'O'say can you see', and the evening report would be sang:'O beautiful for spacious skies'. No wonder all young people with a little ideal and liberal spirit, the United States likes Marx, and China likes Hayek.

In addition, education is really hard to handle. The fathers of Confucius and Mencius were irresponsible. But their son's achievements are much greater than those of Confucius and Mencius. Confucius and Mencius are still great educators. A father, the plow-born horn is still a tiger father and a dog son. Five points depend on cultivation, and five points depend on luck.

Finally, let me pretend to be exquisite (spiritual American), if I were that little black boy, I would say. I love Meijian, I am afraid that she is over, but who the hell loves me.

Finally, as liberal intellectuals, recite the preamble of the "Lighthouse Country" constitution: "The sky is above, we are beautiful and strong citizens, relying on justice and conscience. In order to avoid aggression, enhance the happiness of everyone in our nation, and protect everyone in our nation Freedom, and eternal descendants of Xi. This law is hereby signed."-Drafter Thomas Jefferson, 1787 AD.

PS: Although imperialism is deteriorating day by day, China's Tsinghua University and Peking University is still a preparatory course for American universities. So there is no situation where we are overconfident.

    The United States is not all heaven, and the poor are in hell everywhere.

    To summarize: none of the families of the students interviewed is Asian; the quality of public education in the United States is poor, why is it poor, and why is it poor in China? But we didn’t spend them so much money on everyone’s head
