better famous school than family education
phoenix net: how do you look at school selection heat? Many parents do not hesitate to pay high price to buy school district housing. In parents' view, the difference between good schools and ordinary schools is very large.
Liu Changming: good schools are no better than parents' education. Over the years, we have felt that family education is very important in education practice. Many of our school's difficult student problems are in correcting children's bad habits formed in the process of family education. If a better foundation is laid in the home, the education of the school will be simpler, of course, not to make the work of the school simple, but to make it better for the children to develop in the school.
Phoenix: according to your observation, what problems do you think exists in family education?
Liu Changming: Frankly speaking, I feel that some habits of the students are not very satisfying. Some of the most basic things like talking and behaved, civilized habits, such as the simplest way to say thank you, such as eating in a restaurant and seeing a child is just a bit of a rule. It's just too much.
family education is mainly to cultivate children's habits, morality, character and interest, including emotional attitude and values. School education, family education, social education, Trinity, and social education are mainly influenced by parents.
nowadays parents are very anxious. Actually, after choosing a school, they meet different teachers and have different teaching methods in a school. Zhao Wei's tiger mother cat dad is a concentrated response to the current hot social phenomenon of school choice. I think many of our parents are too anxious.
Phoenix: what causes parents' anxiety? The parents feel that they are forced. One of the best secondary schools in Beijing is definitely one of the best schools.
Liu Changming: in fact, the college entrance examination is only one of them, the school is well, the parents are well, we should put the children's development of the children on the background of the development of his life. Of course, each stage is very important, but it is considered that this stage has been determined for a lifetime, not so serious. Because children will go to society in the future will be affected by many factors, he will also make great changes. As for what to learn and how much the examination results are, this is not important. One of the most important problems in family education school education is to cultivate students' attitudes and feelings.
for example, there are some incidental factors, such as college entrance examination, not a point to the school, but the lower level is less than the high level, we can not see, but today is such a rule. If not admitted to this school, this life is over, this view is too much, not at all serious. Many of our students from ordinary schools have developed very well, and Ma has not graduated from top universities.
family education is the most important thing in the development of children.
Phoenix: now school emphasizes family education. I also see a lot of schools dump homework guidance to parents. What is their role in school education and family education is an ideal state?
Liu Changming: none of them can be replaced. What I said today is a very real saying. Indeed, family is the first school for children. A child in the family school has been in the school for six years before entering the school of society. He is not a white paper to primary school, with many traces of the past family education. If family education can develop more good habits in the first six years, such children will develop much better after they enter school.
but today, many of our parents spend so much energy to choose school. In fact, he has an idea that the school is good, the child is given to the school, and I feel relieved. In fact, this is not the case at all. The younger the children, the more important the influence of family education is.
in favour of early education resolutely against early training
phoenix net: in fact, three years before children enter primary school, children are in kindergartens, small classes and preschool classes. Children are now at three years old to be sent to kindergartens and three or four years in kindergarten. Is preschool education too long? What do you think of the education at this stage?
Liu Changming: I told you a story. One time I went to a community to give a lecture on family education. A young mother asked me, "how do you solve the problem?" I asked how to linger, she said that homework should be finished at seven o'clock, so the child consumed to ten o'clock, or even later. I said it was a problem, asked her children in a few grades, she said that after the school class.
the big class did the homework until midnight. Later, I sent a short message to our education director: This is our kindergarten.
I agree with early education, but I firmly oppose early training, which are two different concepts. The result of training is the same brain, the same thinking pattern, and education itself should cultivate different brains to make each child distinct. In fact, it is easy to achieve such a goal, in kindergarten and even in the junior grade, let them play fully and make them play all kinds of games fully.
when doing team games, each child may take a different role, and some of the games we do as a child may now feel uninteresting, but the educational significance of those games is not as bad as playing high and sharp toys now.
when I do some hope engineering primary school teacher training, I often start from the discussion game, discuss the educational function of the game, and some country school conditions are not as good as the city school. I often ask these teachers, what advantages do your schools have compared with the schools in the city? They say that our children are better exposed to nature and into nature, which is their advantage.
some of the games we played in the past, such as a pool of rain water, and a small shovel to dig a small river to bring the water out, we felt very interesting, not to look down on the game, and in the process of playing, the children were actually planning the world in his mind. But today such games are seldom played by children in cities. No land is cement, and parents will not allow their children to play.
like throwing sandbags, this is a team game, with body movements, sandbags to do their own hands-on seams, and the rules of the game, avoiding strategy, there are many educational factors. In the process of playing these games, each child has his own thinking, his own strategy, and his own decision, and the thinking structure formed in the game is completely different. But today, children like this play too little.
we will build an innovative country and an innovative organization in the future, but the mind of the convergence of thinking is that there is no team innovation ability that everyone has its own unique way of thinking, and a lot of creative ideas can be created when they collide with each other.
to cultivate children's innovative ability, we should pay special attention to the problem that in most cases, the cognitive process of children is incomplete. Why not complete? It has something to do with our traditional ideas. University teachers say innovation means how to improve primary and secondary school education, and sometimes we feel that college education should be improved. Today's education in China is not a link problem. There are many problems in it. Then we need to find the reasons from the cultural level.
says that our cognitive process is incomplete because in traditional Chinese concepts, learning is reading. In the process of learning, the process of children's cognition is incomplete, because he begins with reading, and the book is indirect experience. In fact, learning should be learned from contact with actual things, through observation, and then analysis, to obtain direct experience.
today our children in China lack direct experience. How many children do we have to cook? How many children have done a chair table? How many children have dug the earth? How many children have built bricks? What is the most serious problem and lack of imagination is the lack of direct experience.
innovation is a starting point, a mention of innovation to think of Jobs, but think of what Jobs invented, in fact, he did not have much innovation in the technical link, he innovative is a life fashion, a way of life. What did Ma Yun innovate? It's also a fashion of life. Now we should not neglect these, how great a social life will be by creating a new way of life. But how many children are out of our lives today? How can we innovate in life?
sometimes I wonder if our students have learned so much knowledge of mathematics and physics. Why do they always feel lack of scientific spirit? An important reason is that our knowledge comes from indirect experience rather than direct experience.
students' interests actually come from direct experience, and the enthusiasm of a child to do something is much more intense than a book to a book all day long. But today we have too many learning from books, because we test the means is to do the problem, you just do it right, that is, success, really from the point of view of education, it is not like this.
Phoenix: it is estimated that many parents agree with you and want to do it, but the reality is that you end up saying that this is not a solution to family education.
Liu Changming: This is a question of educational value. As I have just said, as a parent, can you consider the development of his children in the background of his life, and I always think that our eyes should be long, which school is not necessarily a matter of his life, really, the feelings and values of the children in the family life, It's the most important.
