Mark Twain, an American realist critical writer, has at least two articles written about children's education novels, one is "The Story of Edward and George", and the other is "The Story of the Good Boy", two novels through the description of the protagonist's rule-based growth and finally no good results, after reading it, it is inevitable to have some reflections on many of the current concepts and ways of educating the next generation.
1. The judgment of right and wrong should be inclusive, and the method of judgment of right and wrong that is not black and white is inappropriate. Often hear that you can't do this, that's right, we adults all know the two sides of things, how to treat children so stubbornly ignore this scientific method of cognition? What's more, they go farther and farther on such a wrong cognitive road, and also force children to accept this concept, and if they don't accept it, they rebel, use various means to punish, and finally turn true love into wrong love, and turn the most loved ones into enemies!
2. Teach children to recognize the real world and have the courage and wisdom to accept this real world. The world is complex, information is changing rapidly, the process is ups and downs, and the results are unexpected! The more meticulously you implement the order, the more you can do it, and the more you may be wrong, the deeper the injury! It has become a fact that emerging is better than authority, and the survival concept of risk over safety has been continuously proven! If you still judge the position and way of living in this world according to experience, it is a bit clichéd, or it is ridiculous!
Then people will ask, is it to abandon tradition? It is not to discard, but precisely to be more determined in the pursuit of beauty, but the form cannot stick to the rules and follow the rules! It should be a trend, more inclusive acceptance can not, in order to create more possibilities!
Mark Twain, the reason for the problem of children's education, satirizes the current situation of traditional education, which precisely reflects his desire for a better future, but he does not want everyone's understanding of the world to be so single, so extreme, and more free space for their children to play!
I don't know, what do you think about children's education, in terms of right and wrong judgment, have we made some mistakes and hurt children? Can your ideal good kid really adapt well to the world?
