A "Genius Girl" made education a hot topic again, about becoming a genius or being a girl first. Although there are very few talented girls like Little Mary in real life, who said that the film has no practical significance? First of all, this film mainly revolves around a seven-year-old girl with mathematical talent, should she develop her talent and cultivate her to become a mathematician from an early age, or let it take its course and return to the story of a happy childhood. However, the talented girl in the film is not only the little girl, the little girl's mother Diane is also one of them, but Diane has committed suicide and never appeared, and can only be restored through the description of the girl's uncle and grandmother. Both talented girls, Mary and Diane have different life trajectories. Diane's mother, Evelyn, used to be obsessed with mathematics research, but she had no choice but to give up her mathematics career because she married and had children, and her marriage was unhappy. Her heart was unwilling. , At this time, her daughter Diane inherited her mathematical talent, so she ignited hope in her heart and pinned this hope on her daughter. From a young age, she shaped her daughter into a mathematical genius, carefully planned and cultivated, So much so that Diane never went to high school, never attended a prom, never watched a football game, was forced to break up with her first love, gave birth to a child with a scumbag boy, and finally lost hope of life and ended her life on her own; Mary, who is gifted in mathematics, is much luckier. Although she lost her mother at a young age and never saw her father, fortunately, her mother entrusted her to a trustworthy uncle before her death, and her life has undergone great changes. Just like Ann, his uncle Frank received a rigorous education since he was a child, and he also achieved success when he grew up. He became a professor at a famous university, but fortunately Frank was not a genius, so he did not have the special education like his sister Diane, so he did not have the same kind of education. Too deformed life, after the death of his sister, he began to reflect on the reasons for all this. In order to prevent Mary from repeating the same mistakes, Frank quit his job and took Mary to a seaside town, where he became a boat repairer. Mary had a real childhood. At this time, Mary's mathematical talent was revealed, and the unwilling grandmother found them and wanted to take Mary away and make her as good as her mother, which triggered the contradiction in the story. From this we ask, what led to the tragedy of the Dianes? In the film, my grandmother imposed her ideals on her children because she was dissatisfied with her own life. It reminded me of another movie "Confession" I once watched. Because of the influence of marriage and family, the scientific research career of many people put their ideals on their children, trying to use children to achieve their ultimate dreams. Once the reality and ideals diverged, they would It was unbearable, even blaming the child. In the end, the little boy had an extreme personality. He killed many people at a young age, and Diane killed himself. This is the absence and deviation of family education. On the other hand, it comes from the influence of the social environment. We can see from the headmaster of Mary School and the Oak Academy, which is specially opened for gifted children, that the social education method for gifted children is actually the same as that of grandmothers: special emphasis on training . In their view, genius is something that cannot be found. Once it appears, it must be distinguished from ordinary children and focus on training. Only in this way can they make full use of their value and play the greatest role. This not only reminds me of a program called "Magic Children" not long ago, each program will invite children with unusual abilities from all over the country, some of these children have super memory ability, and some have experience in mathematics People are talented, and there are outstanding achievements in certain competitions, but they are four or five years old, and they are more than ten years old, and they have not yet formed correct and distinct values, right and wrong. Being pointed and talking about by people, not to mention whether they will have greater achievements in the future, but only to say that the impact on them will be good or bad right now, maybe they will be proud of people's praise and become arrogant, Maybe they will have more pressure to change their original life, maybe their parents will cultivate a certain aspect of their children's abilities, so as to ignore other aspects, so that the children can't develop in an all-round way, maybe there are too many regrets that we can't predict. . At the same time, some children are not geniuses, but under the pressure of their parents and society, they have attended several more cram schools, special classes, which are a little more prominent than their peers, and will also be crowned as geniuses. Is such a child? Not sad? Isn't this kind of self-deception worthy of our reflection? However, some people say that if a child's talents cannot be developed and abilities cannot be cultivated, then they can only be like Fang Zhongyong in Wang Anshi's writings, and eventually they will end up as "absolute people". But how can we easily decide the future of our children? Who knows if they want to be outstanding or ordinary? Because parents want us to be good, and society wants us to be good, do we have to have a good life? Sorry I can't agree. Besides, isn't Fang Zhongyong's tragedy just because his father dragged him around to show off to others, delaying his further improvement? And what's the difference between this and today's so-called gifted children showing off everywhere? In the same way, even if Fang Zhongyong's father chooses the exact opposite approach, single-mindedly, and trains him with the mentality of letting his child be admitted to the top spot, Fang Zhongyong will really be able to be admitted to the top spot. Is it a lintel? I don't think so. Just like when we just went to kindergarten, we want to go to school every day because it is fun and interesting, but when learning is related to the high school entrance examination, the college entrance examination, and the grades, we are afraid that it is just pressure and responsibility. True love and interest are too far away from us. So, for genius, all we can do is guide, not shape. Therefore, children are children after all. Even if they have any extraordinary talents, they cannot be the capital for parents to show off and the reason for social discrimination. So, let them be children before letting them be geniuses.
