In a society that advocates multiple evaluations, people no longer focus on knowledge, but more on ideas, methods, and processes. Therefore, education has taken the responsibility of planting these seeds without hesitation. We can find that the work of well-known teachers now is no longer as simple as moving books and preaching books. An important part of their work is to "sell" their own ideas and values. Relatively speaking, these contents are also easier to attract students, be noticed by students, and thus internalized.
Looking back at the two series of lectures given by Professor Yu Dan at the Baijia Forum at the beginning of last year, it is not difficult to find that, in addition to knowledge, there is more of a kind of thought, and the ideas of the two series of lectures are unified, that is, focus on the heart . Professor Yu Dan advocates that in such a materialized and complicated world, in addition to maintaining a sensitive heart to external materials, we should also keep a sensitive heart to ourselves, understand our inner world, and pay attention to our independence. There is that "inner universe". It can also be seen from her enthusiasm that the education of emotional attitudes and values is actually more likely to arouse responses and resonate.
Let’s compare some of the films we are more familiar with describing teachers, whether it is “Mona Lisa’s Smile”, or “Dead Poets Society”, “Spring in the Cattle Class”, and “Twenty-Four Eyes”. The roles of "heroic teachers" that come out are educators who have their own ideas and constantly promote their ideas. It is not difficult to find that these teachers have attracted more students and gained the trust and followers of more students. However, we can also find that because of the extraordinaryness of these teachers, because of their "different" ideas, because of the differences between their personal ideas and social norms, their outcomes may not be as optimistic as we expect. Being restricted or even fired is basically the universal ending of these films, so we can't help but ask, why is society so ruthless? Shouldn't these teachers be respected and protected?
In fact, I think this ending is not unreasonable. It is not that the society does not respect these "heroes", but that sometimes, these "heroes" do not respect our society. Society has its inertia, and the speed of social thought development has its limitations. Breaking away from this limitation, rushing forward bluntly may be asking for trouble. In fact, as Vygotsky said, teaching should be carried out in the student's zone of proximal development. The same is true for society. If it exceeds the range and speed that society can bear, then being socially excluded may be the inevitable outcome.
Joan's decision was largely a compromise to traditional values, but it was not a simple compromise, but a considered decision by Joan. Whether the purpose of women's liberation, or the purpose of Katherine's teacher, fundamentally speaking, I personally think that women should learn to be independent and learn to think from their own perspective. Maybe Joan has not been independent, but she has managed to think for herself and take responsibility for her actions. Education will play an indispensable and irreplaceable role in the equality of men and women and the liberation of women. However, the role of education is conditional. More precisely, there is a critical period. There will be the best effect, and even the opposite effect.
When it comes to the liberation of individuality, freedom of thought, and development and innovation, many people start to put forward some "different" absurd theories that are unrealistic, aimless or even randomly, and make some "different" theories. "absurd behavior. In a society that seeks quick success, such behavior is understandable, but unacceptable! Education needs to be calm, down-to-earth, step-by-step, sensitive to discovery, and at the right time, to come up with some content that people have not thought about before, but can be accepted without much effort after thinking, and it requires the wholehearted and selfless efforts of educators. .
Back to the beginning of the article, where is the value of education. The value of education is not to change, not to "turn" the ignorant into a person of insight, not to "turn" the backward into the advanced, because the process of change is too abrupt; the value of education is to promote development and promote the educated Self-awareness promotes the development of talents, ideas, and personal characteristics of educated people in a harmonious and comfortable environment; promotes the development of the people's awareness level, the development of the public's moral concept, and the development of society in the process of steady progress. overall awareness.
