"Now that the tendency to commit suicide is getting younger and younger, we don't let our child fully experience and appreciate the beauty of life, endless homework, endless demands, endless criticism, how can he be nostalgic for such a life?"
"Some parents even brag that even my kindergarten children are doing calculus. I said that this is a sin, if the child is willing to learn, it is not excluded that he has natural talents, he can program, love programming, then we will do it. Don't force your child to learn what he doesn't like to learn. Learn the instinct of being a human being well, and then learn to do things. ”
"Our education doesn't teach the skills of being human, we teach the skills of doing things. Many of us studied mathematics, physics and chemistry, engineering, and finance, and trained people who were useful to society, but it did not teach everyone the knowledge of psychology, sociology, and humanities. Unlike our parents, who have experienced the hardships of life, experienced political turmoil, and lived in poverty, they may have a very high wisdom for people, society, and life, and this wisdom is not taught by universities. ”
"Society must promote diversity. We should publicize the diverse talents in the society, a person who has done the best in flower arrangement, a person who has written literary works to the extreme, and a person who has been a teacher and has done an excellent job in class, these are what we should praise. I especially hope that we have this kind of diversity, to promote the greatness of the ordinary, who does ordinary things, but others can't, that's great. ”
(Peng Kaiping, a professor at the Department of Psychology at Tsinghua University, led a team to survey more than 300,000 primary and secondary school students and found that teenagers generally have the "four nos": lack of motivation to learn, lack of interest in the real world, lack of social ability, and lack of feeling the value of life.) Peng Kaiping believes that the mental health problems of adolescents should be taken seriously. ）
Xiao Ci said:
A good education should allow everyone to find what they are really interested in and then go about it, rather than using education as a short-term utilitarian tool. However, in the face of the uneven distribution of social resources, the existing education evaluation system is difficult to change.

The 15-year-old Daliangshan girl made history in her first Olympic debut
In the surfing competition of the Paris Olympics, Yang Siqi, a 15-year-old from Liangshan, Sichuan, successfully entered the third round. Before she started learning to surf at the age of 9, this girl from the mountains had never seen the sea before, and she didn't even believe that the sea was salty. Now, in the Paris Olympics, she rushed into the ferocious "waves" and broke into the round of 16, creating the history of the Chinese team in this field.
Yang Siqi's surfboard reads: "Dream what you want to do, go where you want to go, and become who you want to be." ”
Xiao Ci said:
In 6 years, she completed the story of a mountain girl hugging the sea.

Follow-up to the "Ten Years of Donation to Build a Teaching Building": The education department plans to identify the structural safety
"25-year-old young people donated to build a village small teaching building for ten years" after the report attracted attention, Guangdong Shanwei City Lufeng City Education Bureau plans to entrust a third-party agency to carry out structural safety testing and identification of the teaching building.
According to previous reports, Lin Jiahong is a native of Hudi Village, Shangying Town, Lufeng City, Shanwei City, Guangdong, and went out to work after graduating from junior high school to earn some money. In 2013, at the age of 25, he decided to donate a school building to the village's primary school. However, when the school building was almost completed, he suspected that someone had taken advantage of it to apply for money for the project, so he stopped work and reported it. The report has been inconclusive, but Lin Jiahong was arrested on suspicion of defamation and picking quarrels and provoking trouble. After 600 days of losing his freedom, the prosecution made a decision not to prosecute, and Lin Jiahong received more than 230,000 yuan in compensation from the state. However, the construction of the teaching building has stopped, and it is still unfinished.
In the past ten years, the primary school, which had only about 20 students, has expanded to more than 100 students, but the abandoned school building has never been put into use, and it has also brought safety risks. The local villagers also felt that it was a pity and hoped that the building could be built for the students to use. Lin Jiahong also wants to re-invest to complete the construction of the teaching building and donate it to the school for free, but to regenerate the teaching building that has been idle for ten years, there are still many difficulties.
Lin Jiahong told reporters that after the matter was reported by the media, the director of the Lufeng Municipal Education Bureau and the Secretary of the Party Committee of Shangying Town had communicated with him, and the other party said that he was ready to entrust a third-party agency to conduct structural safety testing and identification of the above-mentioned teaching building, and was going through the relevant procedures; It is estimated that it will take three months to re-approve and rebuild the teaching building.
Xiao Ci said:
It is undoubtedly embarrassing that kindness failed to bear good fruits, and in this case, the lack of communication and trust between donors and beneficiaries, and the lack of guidance and help from government departments for public welfare projects, ultimately led to the current embarrassing situation. However, the desire to start well and finish well is simple and beautiful, but in the past decade, China's rural education has undergone tremendous changes, and various infrastructure has been improved. Whether or not to continue the project that has been idle for ten years should not only evaluate the safety and necessity of the project, but also make an overall plan based on the local education needs, so as to have a responsible attitude towards kindness.

Seven departments have issued documents to support the development of such social organizations
The Implementation Plan for the Care and Promotion of Autistic Children (2024-2028), jointly issued by the China Disabled Persons' Federation and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, proposes to increase government procurement of social services, enrich and increase the supply of services for the development of autistic children, and guide and support the development of relevant social organizations.
This is the first time that a special action plan for children with autism has been jointly issued by multiple departments, which shows that the state attaches great importance to the rehabilitation and education of children with autism.
According to some analysts, this is a very good policy opportunity for social organizations that target autistic children and their families. It means that the government will provide various policy measures including tax incentives, financial support, venue support, etc. Moreover, because of the flexibility and professionalism of social organizations, it is also helpful to provide more comprehensive, professional and considerate service support for children with autism, and promote their healthy growth and all-round development.
