Recently, a video went viral on the Internet, in which a primary school boy said in class when he made a sentence: "I want to be the president of the Agricultural Development Bank of China, because my grandfather is the president and my mother is the vice president, and I want to inherit my father and my family's property."
As soon as these words came out, they immediately sparked a wide range of discussions on the Internet. There was speculation about the boy's family background, but soon the Agricultural Development Bank clarified that the boy's grandfather was only a grassroots employee and had been retired for 20 years, and his mother was only a section-level cadre. This incident reflects people's concern about the impact of powerful families and family environment, and also makes us reflect on some problems existing in current family education.
After the video was exposed, the boy's family identity was clearly revealed. But it's worth thinking about how this value came to be, when a schoolboy is so eager for power and wealth. Family is undoubtedly an important factor.
Parents' careers, words and deeds, and motivations can have a profound impact on their children. If parents often talk about power, status, and money in front of their children, and make children mistakenly believe that these are the only goals of life, then children are prone to develop wrong value orientations.
Of course, the social environment outside the family also plays an important role. With the rapid development of the economy, some people became wealthy first. Some people chase money and power and lack correct value judgments. These phenomena can also affect children. The problem is exacerbated if schools and teachers do not take responsibility for the right guidance.
In fact, some negative phenomena in the current society have also had a negative impact on young people. For example, the frequent trading of power and money, the lack of morality, and the bullying of some rich second generations will make some teenagers mistakenly think that this is the way to success.
But in fact, real success requires real skills. When a person has extraordinary ability, noble sentiments and lofty ideals, he can truly succeed. Therefore, we need to make young people understand the true meaning of "success".
In view of the possible problems of some families, we can start from several aspects. First, change the misconceptions of some parents. Parents are their children's first teachers, and they need to recognize the importance of teaching by example. Instead of taking power and money as the only goal, children should develop the ability to think independently and judge right from wrong.
Second, schools and teachers should assume the responsibility of value guidance. Through moral classes and other means, we help students establish correct values. Third, establish a good social environment. The media should have more positive stories to establish righteousness. The whole society should promote truth, goodness and beauty and create a positive environment.
If family education only focuses on test-taking ability and ignores moral sentiment education, it may lead to the formation of wrong values in children. At present, many parents hope that their children will have good grades and enter prestigious schools in order to achieve their expectations.
This utilitarian concept of education can also breed undesirable consequences. In fact, parents should pay more attention to the cultivation of their children's inner qualities. Only a young man with ideals, responsibilities and souls can not lose his way in life and find his own meaning in life.
In short, the boy's statement that his grandparents are the president shows us the importance of family education. However, family education is not a unilateral indoctrination by parents, but requires the family, the school, and society to form a joint force.
Only when children grow up in an environment full of positive energy will they establish the right values and outlook on life. This requires the concerted efforts of the whole society, so that our children can grow up healthily and our society can be better.
