In this era of information explosion, we can always hear a variety of voices, especially those scholars who dare to speak out. Recently, Professor Zheng Qiang's remarks caused an uproar, and he pointed out that there are problems in China's education.
Professor Zheng Qiang, a hardcore figure in academia, is known for his straightforwardness and sharpness. He said: "Education, which is supposed to be a beacon of wisdom, has now become a cramming warehouse. These words sound heart-wrenching, but they also make people think deeply. The essence of education is to stimulate children's curiosity and cultivate the ability to think independently, rather than simply instilling knowledge. It's like the famous saying: "Education is not to fill a barrel, but to light a fire." ”（Baptiste Fontaine）
However, when this flame is questioned whether it is bright enough, we have to look at our education system. Is it really too much attention to scores, ignoring the exploration of personal interests and strengths? Is it ignoring individual differences and uniqueness while pursuing uniformity? These questions make everyone who cares about education sweat.
Some have questioned whether Professor Zheng's remarks were just to attract attention. But I would like to say that the real education reformers have the future of the country and the growth of their children in their hearts. Their voices, even if they are piercing, are meant to clear the fog and find a way out. As Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Fighting peacefully is more powerful than violence." ”（Martin Luther King Jr.）
Of course, we cannot deny that the public voice is becoming more and more important as the attention of society to education increases. But that doesn't mean we have to blindly follow the herd or focus only on controversy. We need to be rational and listen to different voices, including those that may prick our hearts, because they may be the direction in which we can improve.
Forward this article, let us think together, the road of education reform requires not only passion, but also calm reflection and action. Everyone is a participant in education, whether parents, teachers or students, and should play their part in building a fairer and more humane educational environment.
Finally, I would like to quote the old saying: "Education is a marathon, not a sprint." "We can't rush things and we can't ignore every link. Let's hope that Professor Zheng Qiang's "Kyogen" can inspire a profound educational change, so that every child can run on the bright road.
