Why do rural children drop out of school to work now? Is it true because there is no money?

A few days ago, I saw a post, the content of which was that a little girl was about to drop out of school before she graduated from junior high school, because her family had six brothers and sisters, and two sisters went out to work before they graduated from junior high school. My sister was getting married and my second sister was working. There are two younger brothers at school, and one younger sister is only 1 many years old. Her parents do some hand-made mobile phone cases themselves, and she can help. Knowing the poor conditions at home, she is very sensible and wants to lighten the burden on her parents.

Is it really so short of money now?

In fact, people who say they are short of money are all nonsense. At present, only a small number of middle school students drop out of school because of lack of money. The era of lack of money is over. Tell me about our place, a mountainous area, a national poverty-stricken county with a population of about 1000. However, there is really no one who can't afford to read. It is easy for ordinary families in the village to work and raise two children. Special families are still very caring in this era. If they study hard, some people will fight for it. However, it seems that there are only four or five high school students in the village now, and all school-age children are basically in junior high school, but they usually go out to work without graduation. Parents born after 1980s may have run a lot outside and received a lot of education. They feel that they all pay more attention to education and try their best to send their children to places with good conditions to study at an early age.

The other day in a park, I heard a group of old people talking about those passionate years in a pavilion. Unlike Mr. Zhang Chun, I like being a reader. Every old man is a library. I wanted to get together to listen to the excitement, but unfortunately there were others to accompany me, and the conditions were not allowed. Suddenly, the old people broke out in a national curse. Looking inside, two old people are scolding each other. I learned from the exchange of curses that they were discussing "leftists" and "Rightists", and as a result, their disagreement led them to quarrel and curse. Finally, the old man left angrily. I am very happy in my heart: these lovely old children! Isn't that what the network is like? Without face-to-face embarrassment, you can be unscrupulous, and the final departure is nothing more than hacking out. Boring, isn't it? Everyone's experience has shaped his thoughts, and it is normal for people to have different opinions. Just like two old people quarreling, is there absolute right or wrong? The most normal thing is that everyone has a certain truth, but whoever has more truth has more arguments and stronger momentum.

Some people question that the countryside I said can be divided into the following categories (my brain has supplemented the style of runaway comics): 1. How many rural areas have you been to? You are not confirmed! You have no responsibility! 2. You go to Yunguichuan for a walk! You go to XXX to see the model of the countryside! Oh, the landlord's hometown is rich and I have never seen such a countryside. I tell you, before I went to work in a big city after graduation, you knew too little about my rural aborigines. Because my family was poor when I was a child, I had a real experience of poverty. When I was in primary school in 1992, the tuition fee per semester 10 yuan was not a small sum at home. Later, the whole family only had ten yuan and eight yuan. Proportion is still sad, anyway, it is very poor, very poor, very poor. When I was at school, few of us were able to finish college. As I went to school, my childhood partner drifted away from myself, and I learned more about the situation and thoughts of my dropouts. Go to work in a big city after graduation. Comparing urban and rural areas, I have a deep feeling about myself and my dropouts. I like photography. In the face of the great changes in my hometown in recent years, I tried to shoot a set of documentary photography reflecting this change and explore people's ideas and opinions in a long period of time. There are many observations on the youth groups in their hometown (high dropout rate groups). Have communication with several classmates and friends who are teachers at the grassroots level. What they have seen and heard, and what they have learned from their mouths about the current situation of middle school students, should be more reliable than the layman's guess. Those who question how many rural areas I have been to and recommend me to go to a rural area look at the beginning of the answer, which is an objection to a friend's answer. I don't know if you have read my answer carefully. I admitted from the beginning that there are still many poverty phenomena. However, this is not the mainstream. Haha, rereading my answer, I feel that some friends seem to be shocked by the momentum at the beginning, so they react strongly. ) Once, my friends and I went to the mountains to play by motorcycle. All the way is a bumpy dirt road. I only met a lonely man in his fifties along the way. There was no other fork in the road. We rode for about 40 minutes before we saw a small village. I don't know when this man can walk back to the village. It's near evening, and the unknown birds are creepy. In a village halfway up the mountain, most of them are adobe tile houses. Looking around, the mountains are boundless, as if coming to the edge of the modern civilized world.

I don't think these are much better than Yunguichuan, are they? Oh, by the way, a friend from Sichuan came out and said, Sichuan can't agree any more. There are many similar examples, but since we are discussing a grand and universal issue, it is obviously inappropriate to use these points as representatives. My hometown is located in the transition zone from the mountainous area to the plain, which has both backward traditional agricultural farming methods and modern mechanized agricultural applications. Great changes have taken place in my hometown and countryside in recent years, and the gap between the rich and the poor is of course growing. Tradition and modernity, backwardness and advancement, openness and conservatism. Aren't these current situations and conflicts a microcosm of China? I think this case of change is more representative than those traditional closed, poor and backward rural areas.

Some netizens believe that in the final analysis, it is still a problem of rural poverty and no money. There are two problems with this statement. 1. To what extent can the cause of the problem be investigated? In fact, the ultimate reason is not poverty and lack of money, but "China is now in the primary stage of socialism and will be in it for a long time" and "we will take the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics". Similar answers can answer almost all the problems and contradictions in China at present. Why is the house price so high? Why is education unequal? Why is there so much work and so low salary? Why can public servants bully others? However, can this answer satisfy you? Skip the deduction process and go straight to the ultimate answer is to play hooligans! You can't say that your emotional entanglement with Xiaohua in the neighboring village originated from the big bang 10 thousand years ago, can you? If you still don't understand, you can refer to QQ space or some Weibo. If the egg is bigger, it will deal with thousands of logical relationships of "because so" in an instant, and finally make seemingly profound quotations. Well, that's beside the point There is no derivation process, and it is not enough to say that its root is poverty. 2. What is money and what is no money. Leaving aside the air pressure, it is nonsense to discuss whether water will boil at 100 degrees. Is it rich or poor to have money to buy a pack of cigarettes and no money to buy a suite? The discussion is about going to school. The standard of having money and not having money is whether you can afford tuition or "advanced placement" under normal circumstances. Even with this definition, I still believe that many families are difficult or unaffordable. However, it is not the mainstream.

Regarding the question of spending money on nine-year compulsory education, it does cost a lot, but I don't think it is higher than the previous tuition. The devaluation of the currency and the improvement of educational conditions are also obvious. By the way, there are state subsidies.

Internship experience should be a good answer. Although college tuition is expensive, there are scholarships and grants-grants are definitely fraudulent, but most of the real poor students I met really got help.

A friend said that you should consider getting married and having children in the countryside. If the definition of money also includes getting married and having children, buying a house and buying a car, etc. Then even if you walk in the streets of Beijing, you will see a group of poor people.

Having said that, in fact, you and I are both peeping into the leopard. Everyone's experience is limited, and only a part of China can be seen. Even if the experience is the same, seeing the same thing does not mean seeing the same thing. Looking at the comments, many friends' opinions and experiences made me see a different world. Even if some opinions contradict me, I think it makes sense.

The university I went to is not good, and the reality is sometimes frustrating, but I think reading is still very useful, and going to college is still very beneficial.

Back to the question, why do rural children drop out of school to work? Is it true because there is no money?

The answer is: no, because the so-called "reading uselessness" has occupied the mainstream.
