Hello everyone, I'm Maco.
The educational film recommended to you today is this "Genius Girl", which tells the story of a 7-year-old girl Mary who inherited her mother's mathematical talent, and in the education of Mary, the educational concepts of uncle and grandmother are diametrically opposite.
Mary was extremely intelligent from an early age, especially in mathematics, and could quickly calculate 57 by 135 and calculate its square root, and at the age of 7, she had already begun to study differential equations.
In the face of Mary's high mathematical talent, Grandma believed that Mary should be "educated by genius", that is, Mary should devote herself to mathematical research and not waste time on anything else.
Mary's mother, Diane, grew up under her grandmother's educational philosophy, but Diane chose to commit suicide after giving birth to Mary.
The reason is that Diane can't stand the days without childhood, without friends, or even making choices about her life, so she eventually chooses to commit suicide against the pressure her mother puts on her.
Diane didn't want her daughter to be like herself, so before she died, she asked her brother Frank, she hoped that Mary could live an ordinary life, and hoped that Mary could grow up happily.
So, Mary's uncle, who gave up teaching at the university, took Mary to live in a small town. He wanted Mary to grow up as happy as any other kid, not to be a math expert.
However, his "happy education" seems to have gone to the other extreme, he is deliberately hiding Mary's mathematical talents and preventing Mary from learning more difficult knowledge...
We all know that if a child's talent is not learned and strengthened the day after tomorrow, then she will lose this talent, which is actually another kind of harm for the child, because it erases more possibilities for the child's future.
Just like Zhongyong in "Wounded Zhongyong", he had the talent to compose poetry when he was young, but "the father is also in favor of it, and the day pulls Zhongyong rings on the Yi people, and does not make him learn." In the end, Zhongyong "fell silent. ”
In order to prevent the uncle's "happy education", the grandmother wants to compete for the custody of the child through legal channels, which is actually the child's right to education.
She believed that Mary had a high talent for mathematics and that to raise her as an ordinary child would be a delay in her potential.
However, if you over-explore your child's talent, it will actually affect other aspects of your child's development.
The story of the prodigy Wei Yongkang, I believe everyone has heard of it.
At the age of 17, he was admitted to the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences with the second overall score in the country and became a master's and doctoral student.
However, because he could not take care of himself and complete his studies, he was eventually dissuaded by the school and did not even get a master's degree.
That is to say, when parents let children spend all their energy on learning, the child's other abilities can not be exercised, especially the ability to take care of themselves and social skills, which will also have a very negative impact on the child's future independence and development.
In fact, there is no conflict between fully exploring the potential of children and allowing children to grow up happily.
At the end of the film, mary is sent to a genius school to cultivate her mathematical talents, and after school, she can also go to the amusement park to play and make friends like ordinary children.
Although, this is a story about the cultivation of genius, but it also has universal educational significance.
In real life, many parents have differences in their children's educational concepts, one person agrees with "stocking", and one person supports "captivity".
In fact, this is all wrong, each child's situation is different, parents should find a balance between personality and commonality according to the specific situation of their children, so that children can develop more comprehensively.
We must let love become care, not hurt, after all, education suitable for children is the best education.
