Every year, the opening ceremony of freshmen in major universities attracts special attention, especially the speech of the principal, which often becomes a hot topic among netizens.
Isn't this? On August 29, 2022, at the opening ceremony of the freshmen of the 2022 University of Metrics, President Xu Jiangrong delivered a speech. His words sparked fierce debate among netizens and directly rushed to the top of the hot search list. Several people.
He mentioned: "The biggest campus drug is online games. 90% of the students who are cancelled from every year are because of online games, and they are not worthy of sympathy."
As soon as this sentence was released, netizens of quickly divided it into two factions. faction thinks that Principal Xu’s words make sense, and thinks that although his words sound a bit harsh and indifferent, it is a fact, and there are too many heartbreaks. All cases are in front of us;
Another faction thinks that Principal Xu's words are too extreme and absolute, and they are simply "a stick to overturn a boat of people". There are many college students playing games, but not all of them have been dropped out of school. The essence of dropping out is because of lack of self-control, not because of games. Even if there is no game, there will be other things to interfere with. Games are just a "burden".
is the game really the source of all evil
So, is the game of really the source of all evil? Can the game really afford such a big "crime"?
According to the "2021 China Game Industry Report", the number of game users in in 2021 reached 666 million, accounting for more than 60% of the total number of netizens. In the process of rapid development of the game industry, has controversy and different views on online games. It has never stopped.
is because of this. Parents and teachers almost throw all the "burden" on the game. When the children with have poor test scores, the parents will say, "It's all because you can play games every night!" The students didn't have any questions. When you get into a good university, the teacher will say, "If there is no game, your score will be added to 50 more points." The statement of
is really "simple and crude". We cannot deny that games really make people "Addicted" ability, but why are some people so addicted that they can't extricate themselves, while others can balance the relationship between it and learning well?
If minors are not yet mature, the relevant state departments have introduced a series of policy measures to strictly control the duration of games used by minors; However, college students should already have a certain degree of self-control and responsibility. The adults still dropped out of school because of the game. If they still blame the game at this time, the game is too "unfair".
We should see that the game is just a surface. If there is no game, everyone will still be tempted by other things and will waste their years in other ways. When we play until we drop out of school, we should find out why college students will be addicted to games. We should also look for the fundamental answer in the education model.
Misconceptions in Chinese education
In fact, college students are "unbreakable" by games. is essentially not about games, but about education. Everyone knows the current education situation in in China. In short, it is exam-oriented education.
Examination-oriented education means that children only need to know how to take the exam, how to get high scores, and how to get into college. There is no need for children to care about other things in . In fact, parents and teachers do the same, and their declaration is : "Child, as long as you do your studies well, you don't have to worry about anything else."
September 4, Peking University famous professor Qian Liqun Old Mr. 3 published an article in the media saying: "The whole of China is currently Educational diseases are interests; China's education has formed a huge chain of interests, and this chain of interests is established around exam-oriented education. Only by completely cutting off this chain of interests can China's education reform and the entire education be seen. To hope."
Qian Laokeng's powerful words point directly to the cancer of exam-oriented education and the huge chain of interests behind this cancer. Although we have advocated quality education for many years, what is actually being conducted is still exam-oriented education, is due to education It is the biggest resistance itself.
In recent years, education has been undergoing continuous reforms, However, the people who reform are the biggest profits in exam-oriented education, which is why the more you change the exam-oriented education, the more you become, the more prosperous it is.
Under education, teachers only read textbook reference books, and students only read books related to exams. In addition, basically no one reads anymore, and students become machines for exams. I believe everyone has heard from teachers in middle school. In this case, "It's good as long as you get into college, it's easy as long as you go to college." How many children have always regarded this sentence as the truth and yearned for that "unrestrained" university.
exam-oriented education, endless inverse makes Chinese children always exhausted at the starting line. When they have spent all their enthusiasm for learning in elementary school, junior high school and high school, has an interest in academics and a desire for knowledge after entering university. It has reached a relatively bleak level.
They have already achieved the important life goal of "get into college" at this time, and have finally broken away from the discipline of their parents and teachers, so they indulged their emotions and their spirits. , online games naturally became their best place to vent.
They abandoned their studies because of playing games, but the fundamental reason for their failure is neither because of games nor because of self-control, but because of They have lost that spirit, lost their enthusiasm for knowledge and life, and what is filled with them is the indifference and escape from reality.
Reading is no longer a happy thing for Chinese children, a naive and innocent person The child sent him to the "assembly line" of Chinese education. After more than ten years of "processing", he became a "faulty product", which is really heartbreaking.
only cares about education The initial speed and education that only cares about exam scores cannot be said to be real education. The ability to accelerate during the education journey is more important. Running far and running for a long time is much better than starting faster, and we should always remember that The fundamental purpose of education is to "cultivate morality and educate people", and to cultivate a person with comprehensive development of morality, intelligence and physical fitness, rather than a "high-scoring machine".
written in the end
Nowadays, the road to reform of education is still "long and long. Xiu Yuanxi, it is not easy to completely "free" from this exam-oriented education system that has lasted for so long.
But we can start with family education . Parents should strive not to make the family a second class, and they cannot also alienate the function of family education into knowledge education, but make the family more like the family. The core of family education is Life education is to cultivate a real person.
When children receive sufficient life education, their mentality, intelligence, morality and abilities in all aspects will develop greatly. How can a child with a mentally healthy mind like be addicted to online games and be unable to extricate himself?
