Good or Bad? That's Fina ( Hao Su)

"The achievement desire" written by Rrichard Rodriguez is a story of a man who found himself through education. He studied very hard and he have a good results, he also won a scholarship. Contrast to his education, i have some feeling.

I am already accept more than 12 years of school education in China. Indoctrination-style education has been accompanied by my growth, from elementary school to university are to be so. From an early age the parents and teachers already told me what is right and what is wrong and what is should to do and what is not to do. Children must listen to parents and teachers, then the long run, children will be turned into obedient machines, never thinking by their own. Indoctrination-style education stifled the human personality, is very harmful. It is same like John Holt said in his essay school is bad for children: “We need to get kids out of the school buildings, give them a chance to learn about the world at first hand.”(The Saturday Evening Post in 1969) Should bring children to go into the world then they will have a driving force for self-study.

Chinese students were forced to learn a lot of things from an early age, of which a large part of it is not know why need to learn. Blind study is only in order to get a good score in test and obtain recognition of their parents and teachers, as well as the envy of fellow students. In this way, slowly in the consciousness of students will be format a false sense of studying:” study for examinations”. In fact the purpose of study is very clearly in order to test than can find a good job and will have a good life. This kind of mind is not a mistake, but too it’s to utilitarian. Finally, the direct result of effort for vanity is that Chinese students’ hands and practical ability is decline. Our study is neither for the teachers, nor is it for others, but in order to improve the quality of our own. We should put study as a capacity of self conscious action to enhance. Not only study in our schools but also need study when we want to entered the society.
