Life depends on life｜The scam of further education, be yourself, change education

As far as I'm concerned, higher education is both a tragedy and a joke, more a hoax than education.

Only high reading?

preschool

Private early childhood education establishments in Taiwan often advertise "bilingualism" and "preliminary training", attracting countless parents who want their children to become dragons and their daughters to become phoenixes to "let their children win at the starting point".

However, a more important issue for children at this stage should be learning respect and responsibility, and developing a healthy personality rather than hard knowledge.

middle school

In the past, the policy did not allow private schools to blatantly hold entrance exams, and some schools used "free IQ tests" to screen students' proficiency. Now, it is independent enrollment, not acting.

Gatherings on campus, speeches, and sharing by seniors and sisters when they return to school are always closely related to "You must be admitted to a good school and you will have the right to choose your life, so that you can achieve a better life." Physical education, art, tutoring and other related courses are always occupied by entrance examination subjects, which not only deprives students of the right to cultivate physical fitness, develop creativity, explore and understand themselves, but also strengthen the value of score first.

Finally, students with relatively good grades, under the influence of collective values, chose to fill in the so-called top colleges or departments of electrical engineering and medicine. Students with relatively poor grades did not know why they applied for departments with just right grades. No one is sure of their interests, and no one has the opportunity to plan for the future.

the University

Some problem-solving robots become real robots in this way, without thinking about anything for themselves.

After some people enter university, they try to understand themselves, explore the world, and gradually correct their life path.

Some people suddenly realize when they graduate that what is in front of them is not what they want. At this time, it was no use complaining about the deception that has been going on all along. Those teachers continued to deceive, and the reality that was in front of them could not be avoided and must be faced.

On Self: The Winner Gets a Better Life?

Since academics come first, is it okay to be a winner? No, among my friends, there are doctors who don't want to be doctors, engineers who don't want to be engineers, etc. People who seem to be successful but are not satisfied with their studies and careers.

It's not that the doctrine of further education is absolutely wrong, or that teachers and teachers are all liars, but that families and educational sites should not forcefully instill the notion that only reading is high. Good grades do not necessarily lead to a good life, and poor grades do not mean that there is no value and life is ruined. The real achievement of yourself is to explore the world, find what you love, and take responsibility for your life.

not be blinded by the social environment

Whether it is experiencing an unsuitable growth environment, or the past that cannot be changed, it is not too late!

What we can do is no longer blindly follow universal values like in the past, but rely on independent thinking, play the cards as well as possible, and finally control the future in our own hands.

redefine self-worth

How can you live a meaningful life without looking at value in terms of grades, transcripts, and salary scales?

You must respect and identify with yourself through awareness, reflection, and constant adjustment.

find self-practice goals

According to what you love and strengths, through practical actions, move forward to the ideal life.

On Education: Time to Dismantle the Hoax

Everyone is responsible

Yan Changshou: "Because students can't find their way, they flock to campuses with no future; parents hold outdated concepts and continue to bind their children... This is a 'common fault structure' that everyone is responsible for. "

The Taiwanese society that Yan Changshou criticized for "worshiping anachronistic higher education" is the result of numerous roles and collective subconsciousness. To change the status quo, you can start with yourself.

Teaching students according to their aptitude

[Analects. The Advanced Chapter] records: "Zilu asked: 'Wen Si do you?' The Confucian said: 'With my father and brother here, how can I hear it?' Ran You asked: 'Wen Si do it?' The Confucian said: "Wen Si Do it." Gong Xihua said: "You (Zi Lu) also asked Wen Si Xing Zhu, the son said that there was a father and brother, and Qiu (Ran You) also asked Wen Si Xing Zhu, and the son said Wen Si Xing Zhi. Chi (Gong Xi) Hua) is also perplexed, dare to ask?” The Master said, “If you ask, you will retreat, so you will enter; you will also have people, so you will retreat.””

Zi Lu and Ran You asked Confucius the same question, but the teacher gave different responses.

The most holy teacher is like this, but Taiwan's education does not care about the aptitude and character of the students, does it instill the supremacy of higher education? I don't know how many technical, creative and other talents have been buried in this way.

It is recommended to start exploring from home education, and then school teachers and systems help students become better people.

Teaching is not just teaching

It is educating, not teaching.

A few years ago, I visited a school where "arts and humanities" and "natural ecology" are the main learning points. The vice-principal shared with us the educational philosophy. "Education" and "teaching" are two completely different verbs. So important, we always see it as a one-way act without knowing it.

I hope that education can become better, so that our generation and every future generation will no longer be framed, and the light that best suits them will shine brightly.
