Cultivate the most interesting and practical psychology every day
One scholar said: "A society in which classes are solidified and cannot reflect the will and ability of individuals cannot be regarded as an ideal society." ”
By the standards of scholars, our society really cannot be said to be an ideal society, because in the most basic field of education, the problem of class solidification is quite serious.
Most of the children who can attend Tsinghua Peking University have similar backgrounds: they are well-off and their parents are highly educated. There are very few cold children who can go to prestigious schools. Most children from low-level families either drop out of school early to work, or reluctantly go to a technical school or work.
It is not that the children of the lower families are not born to be enterprising, but that their social class makes it difficult for them to form upward and self-disciplined habits, and most of their parents are manual workers, and the most important thing they want to do in their free time is to relax and watch TV.
Song Qingling once said: Children's personality and talents are ultimately influenced by their families and parents. Children who grow up in this kind of life based on short-term paralytic entertainment cannot compete with children with good family conditions in terms of learning habits.
A passage by Xiong Xuanang, the winner of the college entrance examination, can be said to have unabashedly told the truth. His original words were: Now many of the champions are the kind of good and powerful at home, and the educational resources enjoyed in big cities determine that I can take many shortcuts when studying.
Yes, the parents' vision pattern, the resource environment created and the way of thinking determine the starting point of the child.
Children with good family conditions not only have an advantage in academics, but also make children born from low-level families unattainable in terms of comprehensive ability.
Now that social classes have tended to solidify, no knowledge can change fate, but relying only on rote knowledge cannot change fate.
What should the children at the bottom do in this situation? If you are born in a bad class, you can only admit your fate? Of course not, class is made up of people, and people must have weaknesses, and the gaps that those weaknesses converge into are the channels through which you rise. The key is whether you have observed the potential of these gaps.
From the perspective of the law of social development, class solidification is the inevitable result of social development to a certain extent, and no social system can avoid this, and the more stable the society, the more solidified the class.
Most of the events of "heroes do not ask for provenance" occur in the chaotic world, the period of social reconstruction, such as the change of dynasties and the adjustment of consciousness in the ancient history of the mainland, Zhu Yuanzhang is not a typical example.
Of course, changing one's life against the sky must be very difficult, and you need to endure for a long time what ordinary people can't tolerate, but you can only change it with hard work. Regardless of how much you end up getting, the benefits of hard work will definitely be greater than lying flat.
In fact, the mainland's test-taking education and college entrance examination system are the best upward channels for low-level children. Although it does have various drawbacks and unfairness, we cannot deny that the college entrance examination system is the fairest system at present, and the story of the cold door takako is still happening frequently. Therefore, knowledge resources are the cornerstone of changing destiny.
From the perspective of sociology, social resources are divided into three categories, namely political resources, economic resources, and knowledge resources. A small number of people in the upper echelons of society have a large number of political and economic resources, and these two types of resources are easy to inherit.
For example, when the father started a business, the wealth and resources he accumulated could be passed on to his son, who continued to operate and expand the industry on the basis of the existing economy, and his wealth continued to increase.
Economic resources can form a cumulative advantage, the longer the accumulation of time, the higher the formation of barriers, ordinary people are difficult to pass through this barrier.
However, the knowledge resources concentrated in the middle of society, compared with the above two resources, have a great probability of change, because knowledge resources are difficult to pass on like economic and political resources, even if the parents have a large number of knowledge resources, but there is no guarantee that the child will be knowledgeable.
And this is the breakthrough point for the bottom to achieve a counterattack, if you do not believe the kind of "learning useless theory" and "it is difficult to get out of the cold door" advocated by the public opinion media, the bottom should question the methods and ways of learning, rather than learning itself. Knowledge is always useful, and only those who have learned a little fur and will not use it deeply will wishful thinking that knowledge is useless.
Behind the solidification of class and the difficulty of getting out of the cold door is a loophole that countless people do not realize, that is, the uneven allocation of educational resources."
The lack of high-quality educational resources and the uneven distribution of regions are important obstacles for low-level students to move forward academically.
I know it's unfair and cruel, and it's hard for anyone to accept it calmly by putting anyone in a position where they aren't being treated fairly. But I still have to say, don't complain, because it's useless.
The logical logic should be: you need or your child needs these educational resources, so how to get these educational resources? Is it private to stand alone, or to take the public route to secure resources for the entire group?
Just as the so-called "Tianxing Jian Gentleman keeps improving himself", only by moving forward can you change the status quo that you don't like.
