Examples of the influence of education on human development

Edison (1847- 193 1) is the "king of invention" in America. In his life, there were 1300 inventions officially registered, such as electric light, phonograph, movie camera and so on. It's all his patent.

However, this famous great inventor did not receive a formal education, did not enter an institution of higher learning, and only attended a primary school for three months. He spent his school days at home.

Edison's father Samuel was a carpenter with a low education. My mother's name is Nancy. She has been a primary school teacher and has a lot of experience in educating children. Edison liked to observe things around him since he was a child. He always asks why. Father is often tongue-tied by his son, so he has to pat his son on the head and say, "Go and ask your mother." Nancy's mother understands the child's psychology very well and always tries her best to give the child a satisfactory answer, inspiring him to think again, ask questions again and get something for nothing.

When Edison was 5 years old, he asked his mother, "Why do chickens sit with their eggs under their buttocks?" The mother put down her work and smiled and told her son, "This is a hen incubating chicks. Those eggs are hot under the ass and the chickens come out. " The fluffy chicken dolls you see are so warm in the mother hen. "Edison listened thoughtfully and asked," Did you put the egg under your ass to keep warm and the chicken came out? ""yes, son, that's it. " Mom nodded and answered.

That afternoon, Edison suddenly disappeared. The family is anxious to look everywhere. As a result, Edison made a "nest" in his neighbor's warehouse, and put a lot of eggs in it. He squatted on it solemnly to hatch chickens! Nancy didn't blame and make fun of her son for it.

Edison started school at the age of seven. After school, he always likes to ask some questions in his study. Once in an arithmetic class, when two plus two equals four, Edison asked the teacher, "Why is it equal to four?" The teacher couldn't answer, thinking that he was a naughty boy, deliberately making trouble and calling him a fool!

Nancy, a former teacher, believes that children are eager to ask questions, which is a strong expression of curiosity. As long as they patiently answer children's questions, it will help children's thinking development. She thinks it is wrong for the school teacher to treat the children like that. In a rage, she asked her son to drop out of school and go home to take on the task of educating his children.

In spring, the trees germinate, and the girls sit in front of the house and have classes while basking in the sun. In the summer evening, while enjoying the cool air, the mother told her son about the rise and fall of the Roman Empire and the historical evolution of Britain. After autumn, when the orphans of the river frog cuckoo cry, the mother teaches the children to read classic literary works such as Robinson Crusoe and Les Miserables. In winter, the northwest wind is whistling, and the mother and son are warming up in the house, and their minds are used in chemistry and physics.

Nancy saw that Edison especially liked physics and chemistry, so she bought him a copy of Reading Science by Parker. This is a famous book at that time, which talked about many physical and chemical experiments with simple explanations and detailed illustrations. Edison was very eager to learn. He must do all the experiments he can, and he won't stop until he achieves his goal. Once, he saw the principle of balloon soaring, and made the children drink a pack of "boiling powder", thinking that boiling would make them angry and people would rise when they were angry.

But Aochi drank it, and his stomach ached so badly that he almost had an accident. After Nancy knew it, she immediately sent Aochi to the hospital for emergency treatment and apologized to her parents. Afterwards, she helped her son find the reason for his failure and didn't blame him. On another occasion, Edison did an experiment on the train. The fire almost caused a disaster, which caused Nancy's anxiety. But she did not stop the child from doing the experiment again, but advised her husband to vacate the small attic at home for his son.

Time has rewarded mother's kindness. With the education, support and help of his mother, Edison worked hard and made continuous progress, and finally made many amazing inventions and became an inventor.

Extended data:

Education can promote the development of people's subjective consciousness and ability, promote the full development of individual differences, help people give full play to their inherent potential, and form people's uniqueness, such as hobbies, ideals, beliefs, world outlook, ability, temperament, personality and so on. Education also pays attention to stimulating people's creativity, which is conducive to the realization of personal value and promoting people's all-round development. ?

School education and family education are essentially a conscious social environment. The school is like a micro-society, with all kinds of facilities available, providing students with different learning and living environments. Students continue to learn, develop and improve themselves through the communication between teachers and classmates, and lay a certain knowledge foundation and related social skills for going out of society in the future.

Comparing the education of urban schools, we will find that the education level of urban schools is obviously higher than that of rural schools, and the overall cultural level of urban students is higher than that of rural students. The important reason is that schools in different regions provide different educational environments for students. Whether schools have perfect teaching facilities, rich high-quality teacher resources and advanced educational methods all play a vital role in the growth and development of students.
