The college entrance examination, in almost everyone's perception, is the Shura field before high school students enter college. Everyone is keen on how to wrestle in this arena - schools pay attention to the admission rate, teachers pay close attention to grades, parents regard their children's scores as a barometer of their mood, and students don't need to go into details. Go ahead and learn. After all, the whole society recognizes this kind of joint effort, and takes great pleasure in guarding the harmony of each performing their duties. However, when we put everything into our obsession with the process, few people think about the meaning of the end point.
Is college worth the effort?
Of course worth. Without a diploma from a "double first-class" university, can you have the opportunity to chat and laugh with the HR people of BAT? Don't you see, does a certain university require a graduate degree to recruit security guards?
But can university bring a wonderful future to all who have worked hard?
To be honest, it should not be possible. Just as the peaches in heaven cannot be eaten by the Monkey King, competition draws a dividing line for life choices. After the college entrance examination, only a few outstanding students can climb to the top of the "ivory tower", and more students can only "disappear the crowd". For the first time in their lives, they experienced disillusionment. Then, the public order and good customs of the society played a role in fueling the flames. The onlookers gathered around the victor, lifted him up, presented him with flowers, asked him to be interviewed, and talked about the way to success. It was the carnival crowd who passed on the "survivor deviation" to the latecomers, letting them run towards their imagined selves. Some people rushed to the peak, and some fell into the abyss. But seeing the new man laugh, the old man weeps when he hears it. Who cares about those who do not get good grades or fall off the list? I think, it should not only be the retake class of the college entrance examination.
The 2006 American comedy film "Accepted" told the story of a group of "student scumbags".
According to Schopenhauer, humor is the opposite of what is known. If there is no university to study, the brothers will build a university that they can do whatever they want. This kind of plot not only has comedy elements, but also can satisfy many people's inner desire to subvert the school. In the movie, "Nanhamen University" was just established by a group of weirdos, and there were no rules at all. The protagonist Bartby didn't expect his little trick to deceive parents to have such a bad result, so he was about to give a speech to end the farce, but before he could speak, a boy with a funny appearance and clumsy words frequently raised his hand , this man didn't want to interrupt Bartby, just wanted to say thank you, because "South Harmen University" was the first school he received an admission letter, and his parents also said to him "You are our pride." All the people who come to school here are children who are not wanted by the real university. In the eyes of others, these people are either physically handicapped or mentally handicapped, and their academic performance is extremely poor. At this time, Bartleby and a few partners discovered that there are so many people who have suffered the same way as him. Everyone is the "outcast" of society. Only he can save himself. He decided to take this fake school with these "scumbags" Do it, and do it very seriously.
For high school students, the ability to have the courage to break out of the norm and turn ideas into action is a rare ability. What is even more admirable is that these children did not "knock down the emperor and become the emperor", they discovered the drawbacks of the current education system: that is the same "cramming" education, students just passively absorb the knowledge that the society thinks should be useful. , what they're really interested in isn't being suppressed, it's simply never taking root in their hearts. As a result, "Nanhamen University" teaches classes entirely according to personal interests, and a variety of courses are launched immediately. As long as you have a skill, you can become a teacher and explore freely in the field you are passionate about. Such a course is bound to be welcomed by the students, and the geeks who have nothing to do have room to do their best.
The special teaching method of "South Harmen University" is an educational experiment that all educators want to carry out. It respects individuality, teaches students according to their aptitude, and truly stimulates the potential of students. Of course, all educators should understand that such an attempt is utopian after all. There are too many restrictions in reality to stifle this kind of idealized education. Such schools can only appear in movies. But if someone scoffs at such an attempt because "Nanhamen University" is too idealistic, and even thinks it is just an unrealistic nonsense of teenagers, I think such an "educator" doesn't really understand education. In the movie, this "fake university" was also forced to close due to various reasons, but the teens did not give up. They filed a plea to the local education bureau and debated fiercely with traditional elite schools in court. According to local school-running regulations, "Nanhamen University" has countless indicators that are unqualified, but there is one indicator that other schools can't achieve, that is to accept the "scumbags" who have been abandoned by society and let them realize their self-worth . Is that not enough? This is enough in the eyes of people who respect education. The government finally decided to allow "Nanhamen University" to run a trial school for one year, making it truly a university worthy of its name.
Do not block innovation in traditional ways, and give young people the opportunity to practice. I think this is what people who understand education should do. What is the fate of "Nanhamen University" one year later? It's not mentioned in the movie and doesn't need to be mentioned. Watching these young people realize their dream of running a university through their own efforts and the understanding and help of the society, this is already a very perfect ending.
We should learn a lot from this movie.
