For many years, we have been chattering about the essence of education, some people say that education is to serve social production, therefore, what we need is applied talents, so the type of education should be unified, and some people say that education is to help the educated complete the promotion of personal value, therefore, we need to teach students according to their aptitude. However, education has never been a simple defined behavior, is it to teach students according to their aptitude or to unify them? There should be different content in this different period, and it is naturally inappropriate to only unilaterally emphasize certain contents.
The film "Hearing Heaven" recommended to you today is an example of teaching students according to their aptitude. The child Mick wanted to be a filmmaker since he was a child, but after the accident, this dream was shattered. Mick inadvertently misfires while playing with a shotgun, which directly causes his own eye to be injured, and after that, Mick goes from an able-bodied person to a person with amblyopia to almost invisible, and the original movie dream quickly fades.
Mick was sent to a church school by his parents very helplessly, and he had to learn to live with the darkness, but for Mick, a child who was originally visible, but now invisible, it was very difficult to adapt to such a process. In the process, Mick accidentally meets a good partner, and the two begin to capture the traces of sound, and eventually, Mick subverts the lifestyle of the children who originally belonged to this church school, and Mick later picks up his movie dream again, only this time, Mick becomes a sound engineer.
"Hearing Heaven" is a very beautiful movie, how good is it? Basically, after watching this film, you will fall in love with Mick, the quirky child, and even have pity for those children with various disabilities. But having compassion is having compassion, and after watching the movie, everyone in life will not have much contact with people with disabilities. This also leads to a concept that the film creates is actually out of touch with our daily lives.
Even if there are blind alleys on every city road, it is not known who will use the blind alley, and no one can see the disabled walking on the blind alley, which is why the blind alley is criticized. It is a pity that the blind road itself does not serve the disabled and is still ubiquitous, and the disabled will not re-participate in everyone's life because of the laying of the blind road.
"Hearing Heaven" aims to tell every audience that people with disabilities also need to have a normal life, even if they can't see with their eyes and hear with their ears, but they can still find a job and life that suits them in such a rich world, and everyone should not discriminate against every disabled person, but should help them find a life and work that suits them.
In order to test this idea, the film even portrays the original principal of the church school as a rigid and hegemonic conservative, as if his advocacy of a way to make a living for the church for disabled children is completely wrong. But let's calm down and think about it, is he doing it wrong?
We often say that teaching students according to their aptitude, teaching students according to their aptitude itself needs to be carried out in a refined education model, a class may have thirty or fifty children, if each child is taught according to their aptitude, then how many teachers do we need to equip? This problem is no one has thought about, therefore, the general education is always to do all-round large-scale coverage, he has no way to do the aptitude of teaching, because the theory of aptitude teaching can only exist in people's expectations, if you can invest more money in education, then it is possible to achieve, but for most people, inclusive education is more about allowing children who have not had the opportunity to go to school to enter school, rather than taking into account their character traits first.
From this point of view, the principal's approach is right, Mick is a subversive, and at the same time the young teacher is also a subversive, the subversive wants to subvert an existing rule or something, always to establish a villain, obviously, the principal has become this villain, but the principal's philosophy is still to help most disabled children master a job that can support themselves, although this seems not as fresh as everything Mick has done, but it is more people than a few.
Mick can be a filmmaker to fulfill his dreams, but how many children like Mick are there? How many children like Mick have a kind of obsession with their dreams? We can help children with dreams to achieve their dreams, just as we can help people who want to start their own businesses to pave the way to entrepreneurship, but that doesn't mean everyone is required to start a business.
This is the essence of life, the essence of life determines the implementation of a policy, what we have to consider is not to help people in high positions to continue to move up, but to help those who were originally in a low position to rise a level, although such a policy is considered rigid and passionless, but it can benefit more people. Mick can exist, but not every child is Mick, it's okay to find an exception in a group, but the exception is definitely not a broadly representative existence, if you don't understand this truth, then the only one who is moved in the end is yourself.
The reality is that Mick led all the children to laugh and play, but in the end it was only Mick who completed his life dream, and the rest of the children were forgotten by us until the end, we reaped happiness, Mick reaped dreams, but those ordinary children still lived a life of obscurity, and no one cared about what no one cared about. If this is the essence of education, then would you like to be someone who accompanies others to study?
