There are two stories.
A boy passed the Tsinghua University this year. He said in an interview that I will never touch the piano again. He met a good teacher who told many academic frontiers and unknowns. He discovered a broader world and will devote more time to learning and exploring.
There is also a boy who is the first in the middle school entrance examination in our city this year. There are five single subjects and all of them have full marks. He said that he had not played the piano for a year in the third year of junior high school, and he loved it very much.
is also love, and their letting go is because he discovered that there are more important things in his life that must be done.
This is a gratifying thing, letting go of your hobbies is to achieve greater goals.

Some time ago, there was a topic that was discussed very enthusiastically. Will art courses be included in the high school entrance examination?
If you are a parent of your child, I wonder if you will agree to the high school entrance examination for art assessment?
I looked at the guidance in the file. The assessment is not presented in the form of art level, but rather an assessment of art appreciation. I don’t know what appreciation is. For most people, appreciation is a holistic concept, good or bad, like it or not.
Nowadays, several provinces have indeed included art assessment in the high school entrance examination. The reason given is that art can enrich people's imagination and is conducive to our scientific and technological creation and invention.
As a parent of the student, I clearly object to it.
Art can enrich people’s imagination, why do you have to enter the high school entrance examination? I like to listen to a piece of music, it touched me, but is it a bit difficult for me to appreciate art? There is a saying that goes, "I want to eat pork, do you still want me to raise pigs?"
And the other truth is whether our society needs so much art appreciation?
Many parents still live at the bottom of society and have tried their best to survive. They are not able to pay extra for their children's art training.
Once these subjects are included in the high school entrance examination, the gap between children will be further widened. If children were asked to analyze songs and paintings they had never seen before, I don’t know what kind of text would appear in their writing? Even if you write the text, you will inevitably be pale and powerless. Assessment like
has become a carnival for a group of people, while the other part of them can only mourn silently. When education is reforming, are you willing to listen to the voice of another group of people?

What kind of hobbies do our children need? They are grown up by some kind of force.
Because he wants to be international, he started to get involved in English since kindergarten and started to attend international bilingual classes in kindergarten. Since he started elementary school, he has bought him a lot of English picture books. In fact, along the way, his reading ability has improved, but he is still a mute.
The core question is whether he needs to use English when he works in the future? Is this aching for the times to devote such great energy to a certain subject? Many people are not good at English, and they must learn it if they cannot learn it well. It is their eternal pain.
On the other hand, children never read Chinese literary works, and they know nothing about many ancient Chinese and idioms stories.
This seems to be a common phenomenon. Our children are not very interested in Chinese culture, and the moon abroad is still brighter than China.
has a power that makes people enter the circle it designs, and the person entering is unaware of it. Even if you are aware, it seems that the power of resistance is very weak.
Because we have had historical pain, and although we have entered a new era, we still see the ruins of the past.

When the child was very young, there was a book called "Children's Freedom" by his mother's bedside.
I have also read a lot of books on children's education, and they all have a common view, giving children freedom.
The growth of a child is a process of continuous exploration, and he needs to try and make mistakes.
But when this freedom is sold in large quantities, I feel something must have been wrong.
As long as he has been a child, his mother will definitely support him unconditionally, even if he is having fun, there will be no one on the street.
Children who grew up under such free conditions are missing something.
When he and his classmates were addicted to low-level and violent games and were willing to be hunted by the game, he lacked resistance, lacked the constraints of time, and lacked respect for the rules.
And things are not just that simple?
The child has a group of diary. When I went to read it, I could no longer understand many languages, "yyds, u1s1", "Speechless, breaks the defense ", "Suijuezi", "It's so easy to cry", "I can't do it anymore", "Train the rhythm", "Train the step", "Wash white".
With such a popular online language, they have forgotten how to express it. The emotions they express are all the emotions given to them by others, and the language they express are all the language given to them by others.
And behind this is their lack of patience to read a book, and they cannot feel the charm of Chinese literary works.
Chinese culture has become far away from children. And why does the attraction of our culture weaken so quickly?
As a student in the third year of junior high school graduation class, he wrote such pale and powerless language, and felt that the times have changed their youth. They have no thinking or identification. The homogeneous language reflects the homogeneous idea.
05
What is the other side?
Our children are not youth anxiety, but youth nothingness and rebellion.
When many children are so in opposition and conflict with their parents, it is not something that makes the times happy.
Is there so many rebellious things in our past era? At that time, parents had authority, and our education had a ruler, and those who should be punished would definitely be punished.
And now there is a lot of happy education everywhere.
I don’t know why education must be happy? Where is this imported product sold? To pursue goals in the growth path of life, one must make arduous efforts. How can there be easily gains in this world?
As children grow up, some things are slowly missing, and they will grow up, and what do they use to deal with tomorrow?
Their rebellion is homogenized, constantly rendered and copied, while the valuable spiritual qualities are being weakened, that is, diligence and self-discipline.
They are too free, so free that they have no goals, rules, and awe. They are too lazy to think about where tomorrow is?
When I was in the third year of junior high school, I had to endure the high school I thought and to overcome the problems of mathematics, and to continue to work hard. Even if my eyes were covered with bloodshot, even if I could sleep when I stood so sleepy, I had to endure it.
And how many people can do it now in the third year of junior high school?
When you are poor, struggle is the only way out.
When material resources are constantly enriched, they enjoy the love of the times, but they live up to their beautiful youth.
My child is in the top ten in grades. When I put some math problems in front of him, he will give up directly.
This is the current situation of our education, and the burden is constantly reduced. The result of the burden reduction makes some people get high scores without working hard, but they forget that getting grades requires hard work. What is even more terrifying is that they feel that hard work seems to be no longer so important, and it is completely unnecessary to overcome difficulties.
And what do they spend the extra time? Pursuing timely pleasure in games and short videos.
Youth should strive for! A person must give his all his strength at a certain stage in his life. If he has the energy to learn, he should continue to surpass himself.
There is also a very interesting phenomenon. They dare to make their own voices, thinking that it is to express and demonstrate themselves.
Doing knowledge requires doubt and challenges, but when questioning, I forget a premise: the questions raised should be valuable, can collide and promote each other. Questioning requires deep thinking, not superficial questions.

We once had a regular work meeting, was there any important discussion on whether interest or responsibility? Everyone's answers are roughly similar.
works in a company, and there are almost no one that is highly matched with your hobbies. No matter what business situation the company is now, every day of life and death is facing a battle of life and death.
Under such a competitive situation, companies do not care about your interests, but about whether you have the ability to match your work. This will also be the reality facing children.
In the era of convenience of multimedia, a kind of liberalism has given birth to self-centeredness, but lacks a spirit and responsibility. They are indulged in freedom and do not understand the value of freedom. They should have learned to think and explore and strive for their goals.
Our era is rich, but some of the qualities we have always inherited should be inheritance and development, and should not be abandoned in vain.
We can have a full meal, but don’t forget that many people are still struggling for this bowl of rice.
faces interest and responsibilities, and bravely shouldering heavy responsibilities and responsibilities in the world. It is always the first choice and a valuable quality.
