What happened to them who did nothing in those days?

Pictures/from the Internet

When I was a child, I liked reading very much.

Once, I followed my parents to a class reunion. A bearded uncle asked us children, "What do you want to do in the future?"

I want to be a scientist! The boy's father touched his son's head proudly.

"I want to be a doctor and treat others." Great! Everyone praised the little girl in succession.

"I want to be a policeman and destroy bad people." The boy's mother gave a thumbs-up sign.

"What about you?" Uncle beard asked me with a smile.

I looked up at my mother.

"She wants to be a writer." Mother put her hand on my shoulder and rubbed my hair.

The uncles and aunts laughed.

"What a talented girl!" My aunt who laughed the loudest said to me.

I don't know what they are laughing at. But I never said I wanted to be a writer. Gradually, I don't seem to want to be a writer so much.

I used to hate the word "doing nothing" in adults' mouths. I asked them, what is a legitimate business? They told me that studying is your job now.

I tried to defend myself, but later I found that all my friends around me began to use this word.

When I was in primary school, everyone said that Teng was an unprofessional person because he liked martial arts and kung fu.

I said, "Ann still swims outside all day. Why don't you say that he is not doing his duty? "

"If someone wins the prize, the person who wins the prize will be the best junior high school special student."

I thought about it, and it seems reasonable.

When I was in junior high school and senior high school, the best high school in the city opened a martial arts special student, and Teng was specially recruited because of his good kung fu. Later, no one said that Teng was not doing his job properly. Some parents even force their children to learn martial arts.

It turns out that besides studying, it can also be used as a specialty, which is the so-called legitimate occupation.

In this way, Tina is a person who does nothing. In junior high school, she liked to study cosmetics, take photos and write some small poems that no one could understand.

The teacher said to her, "You are so clever. If you focus on your studies, you will certainly achieve great success. "

Tina still goes her own way, but now she has a bright future.

Tina went to America alone in high school. After a long period of adaptation, she began to fully release her nature and do everything she wanted in that relatively free environment.

Now she is studying for a double degree in rattan school, working part-time as a photographer, and occasionally writing poems to earn money.

Teachers and parents say, look at Tina, how promising it is.

Ann, who is also idle, probably has a well-off family and enlightened parents without Tina, and obediently chooses a promising major that she doesn't like. Now, she is considering changing her major to graduate school.

I think the times are changing and people's ideas have to change.

During the freshman holiday, I participated in a summer camp organized by an NGO with high evaluation in the industry, mainly to provide quality education courses for students in underdeveloped areas in the mainland. We don't teach math and English, nor do we teach exam-taking skills. We teach comprehensive courses such as culture, art, cooperation, leadership and career planning.

The students like it very much.

The first day we met, everyone was very formal. Those students who don't get good grades on weekdays never raise their hands to speak. Gradually, the children found that although they are not good at math, they like to talk. Although the language is not good, but good at painting; Although I can't read, I play basketball very well. They become positive and confident.

At the middle parent-teacher meeting, we were happy to show our parents the children's learning achievements.

After hearing this, a parent stood up to speak. He simply affirmed our teaching achievements, and then put forward a long list of questions: "You are all students of famous universities. I want to know, did you receive these educations when you were a child? Have you ever taken these classes? I know these classes are useful, and I see my children become cheerful. But our parents still hope that you can share some study and exam skills with your children. After all, our children here rarely come into contact with high flyers in your big city. "

We stood by the platform and had no heart.

"I want to ask, is your child happy these days?" Aside teammate Ayue broke the silence.

"Happy, very happy! She likes singing and sings when she comes back every day. "

"Then why can't you learn to sing?"

"What's the use of singing? Can you go to Peking University Tsinghua just by singing? Not just doing nothing. You are from Peking University. I hope you can teach more learning methods to my children. "

Parents have nodded.

Ah Yue was silent.

The word "inaction" is like a sword, which is stabbed in each of us.

"So all we teach is doing nothing?" After the meeting, Ayue whispered.

I shrugged and said nothing.

Not long ago, I was very excited to see the news that "Finland canceled the teaching of different subjects" forwarded by the circle of friends. Although it was later rumored that the subject was not cancelled, it was just project learning based on phenomena, which was literally translated as "project learning based on phenomena", but this learning method actually broke the traditional subject and covered many aspects of knowledge.

This news triggered a discussion about "subject education". It's a pity that the discussion is not loud. Because we all know that this form of education will exist for a long time.

Eisner, an American educator, once put forward "empty curriculum" in the book Educational Imagination: Design and Evaluation of School Curriculum, which refers to the content that has not been taught in school.

He believes that this includes two aspects-cognition and discipline.

Why can't LGBT topics be discussed in class?

People who are not good at reading study art?

A series of problems have aroused the thinking and discussion of many scholars.

"I'm not cut out for reading." How many people say this with a self-destructive attitude?

Under the divided education, we feel that if we can't learn traditional subjects well, we won't be expected to study.

Mom called and said that her friend Aunt Jiang's son had taken the senior high school entrance examination, and Aunt Jiang was particularly nervous.

This will be Amin's second senior high school entrance examination. If you still fail, don't go to high school.

Mother whispered to me that she didn't understand why Aunt Jiang refused to send Amin to learn to cook.

Amin is a cook. At the age of three, he stood on the stove with a knife to cut vegetables. When I was in primary school, I often disliked my mother's cooking and cooked a meal myself. I usually watch TV and only watch food programs. He told his parents many times that he wanted to learn to cook.

Aunt Jiang refused, saying it was idle.

"Well, he is not the material for reading." Aunt Jiang sighed on the phone.

I really want to ask her, what is real business?
