This afternoon, I went to school casually tore a math paper, anyway, the teacher has not yet assigned homework, first write two questions in advance there is no harm. But I didn't expect that this little paper would cause a big stir. If I can anticipate things as God, I will not take a test paper to school!
Into the classroom, there are a few students sharp eyes, they immediately found me holding a test paper, they immediately asked me what is that? I just smiled gently and returned to my seat. I'm afraid of the classmates to be suspicious of the heart, I will use a book to cover the upper part of the test paper. But a few of my classmates still asked me endlessly: what kind of paper is that? I said: There is no such thing as a paper? Don't think much about it! But my classmates told me that I had arrived early to do the questions, that I had worked hard in advance without telling them, and that I had "internalized" the paper. Until I couldn't bear to put the test paper child up a lift, the students saw the test paper of the "mountain true face", only to close their mouths spit!
Now the word "inside" is very trendy, it is used to say that a person in the work of silent efforts, a person than a person efforts, and finally more diligent, the results are not satisfactory. In today's society, effort, diligence, hard work, these positive words have become derogatory terms, if it continues, our learning culture will become incorrect, every hardworking people will be dragged down. Nowadays, public opinion and gossip are very harmful to people.
The "inside-out" will also affect the friendship between the students. People become suspicious of each other, distrust each other, will spend time with classmates, friends as fierce rivals, enemies, the original harmony, help each other students become strangers, the original joy of life, and the eyes of the amicable become hateful. Is this friendship?
Refuse to scroll, in order to let optimism, hard work and good learning become our pronouns; refused to scroll, in order to make our friendship more innocent, more rich; refused to scroll, in order to make our junior high school life become more rich, interesting and colorful!
"Herd mentality": that is, individuals under the influence or pressure of the group, to give up their own views or against their own views to keep their own speech, behavior and the group in line with the phenomenon, that is, often referred to as "follow the crowd". And herd behavior. Generally refers to the group members of the tendency to follow the group's behavior. That is, when he found his own behavior and opinions with the group is not consistent or with the majority of the group disagrees, will feel a kind of pressure, which will prompt him to take with the group's behavior.
In the process of human development, competition is an eternal topic, and there is a very classic "Prisoner's Dilemma" in game theory.
The Prisoner's Dilemma is a representative example of a non-zero-sum game in game theory, reflecting the fact that the best choice for an individual is not the best choice for a group. Or in a group, individuals make rational choices that often lead to collective irrationality.
The story of the Prisoner's Dilemma is about two suspects who are caught by the police after committing a crime, and are locked up in separate rooms for interrogation. The police know that both men are guilty, but lack sufficient evidence. The police told each of them: if they both denied, they would each be sentenced to one year; if they both confessed, they would each be sentenced to eight years; if one of them confessed and the other denied, the one who confessed would be released and the one who denied would be sentenced to ten years.
So each prisoner is faced with two choices: confess or deny. However, no matter what the partner chooses, the optimal choice for each prisoner is to confess: if the partner denies, he confesses and is released, and if he denies, he will be sentenced to ten years, which is better than not confessing; if the partner confesses, he confesses and will be sentenced to eight years, which is better than the ten years sentenced to ten years for the denial, which is better than the denial. As a result, both suspects chose to confess and were sentenced to eight years each. If they both denied, each sentenced to one year, obviously this result is better.
The deep problem reflected in the Prisoner's Dilemma is that individual rationality can sometimes lead to collective irrationality - smart people can become cocooned in their own cleverness, or they can harm the collective good.
The emergence of involution is the truest expression of the Prisoner's Game.
Resources are limited, and competition is unlimited, so there is no denying that the involution is "irrational", but it is the inevitable human nature.
There is a joke: there are two people to go to Africa to find treasure. Coincidentally, the two encountered a lion. At this time, one of them put down the hand of things, the back of the bag open, quickly changed into running shoes. The other man was puzzled and said, "Can you outrun a lion?" Only the man said, "Yes! Of course I can't outrun it, but just run faster than you."
In the real world, "lions" are everywhere.
Inside the volume of the essay Part 3
Recently, the Office of the Ministry of Education issued a compulsory education six subjects over the standard over the training of the negative list (for trial use), for the investigation and handling of training institutions over the standard over the training behavior to provide a specific basis for a knife cut "inside the volume" over the meaning of learning.
The term "involution" was originally used in anthropological studies to refer to "the phenomenon of a social or cultural pattern that has reached a definitive form at a certain stage of development and then stagnates or fails to be transformed into a higher pattern. "overly dense and repetitive competition with limited resources". The various advanced learning programs for primary and secondary school students are contributing to the trend of "more and more voluminous" competition, which brings few real benefits to students but adds a burden that is self-evident. The Ministry of Education launched a negative list, although the short-term can not eradicate the problem of education in the volume, but call a halt to the "volume type" of super learning is in line with the current needs.
First of all, it should be clear that the negative list prohibits the extracurricular training of extracurricular knowledge at the primary and secondary levels - for example, the elementary school Olympiad that once made thousands of elementary school students and their parents suffer so much. In other words, the Ministry of Education is not advocating "don't learn", but want to avoid the vicious competition driven by the low quality of "early learning".
Does it make sense to learn the next level of knowledge in advance? If this kind of learning is proactive, de-utilitarian, and able to enlighten both the child's hobbies and intellect, then it is naturally worthy of recognition. However, the problem is that most of the over-learning is forced, utilitarian, some training courses in order to cater to this utilitarian purpose, so that the effect of training to show faster, and take the duck-type teaching methods. This learning, the effectiveness of limited, more large extracurricular pressure, waste of children to develop a real hobby opportunity, the loss is not worth it.
On the other hand, in the past, the reason why the super learning was once prevalent, because of the mastery of the OU and other super program knowledge can become a knock on the door of the school. However, the selection of special talents, although the original intention is good, but unable to ensure the fairness of the selection process, the direction of the test questions, but also once fell into the examination of the odd skill, bring the "volume of competition" of the evil consequences. Based on this, in recent years, the Ministry of Education has changed its mindset, vigorously promote the fairness of education and reduce the burden. In addition to the fact that the company has been able to provide a wide range of services, the company has also been able to provide a wide range of services to the public.
In this case, the pre-school education is still popular, largely because parents have not been able to change their thinking, and still feel that other children are learning, and their children will suffer if they do not learn. It can be seen, just let the knowledge of the super outline "not allowed to test" can not completely solve this problem, the provisions of the training institutions super outline knowledge "not allowed to teach", can be said to be a dose of medicine, can further have the strength to reduce the extracurricular pressure brought about by the pre-school learning.
Of course, the extracurricular training for extracurricular teaching "suppression", built on the basis that it can not bring substantive meaning to the growth of children, if the children can really grow through the acceptance of efficient, high-quality extracurricular education, which is not the progress of education? It is really a helpless move to prohibit the teaching of extra-curricular subjects in training schools by adopting an across-the-board approach. It is bound to cause some losses, especially to children who have a passion for learning and are not satisfied with textbook knowledge, and their channels for receiving extracurricular teaching have obviously been reduced. But in the deep development of the Internet at the moment, to crack the dilemma of the breakthrough is a wealth of online teaching resources, when the network technology threshold and quality education resources **** enjoyment of the barriers are gradually broken, the freedom of choice and acceptance of knowledge will be unprecedented amplification.
In short, the introduction of the negative list is to the current deformed extracurricular training market cooling, for most of the parents to pull up the seedlings to correct, and how to make the students to reduce the burden and teaching in parallel, but also need to wait for the change of the way of education. We need to make it clear that the original intention of extracurricular education should be to satisfy the child's desire for knowledge and explore the child's potential, rather than to obtain a beautiful score in an over-examination - in primary and secondary schools, whether it is over-examination or utilitarian training, should be the less the better; and the freedom to learn knowledge, the more the better. the more the better.
Inside the volume of the essay Part 4The pace of life in today's society is so fast that a little pause may be abandoned by the times. Students are competing for exam results, young people in the workplace are competing for KPIs and pay rises, and middle-aged people are competing for power and social resources. It can be seen that "involution" has swept across all age groups. Pressure is indeed everywhere, but in the face of heavy pressure, should be relaxed. There is an old Chinese saying that death is a form of peace and happiness, and that pressure is motivation. The pursuit of material conditions is human nature, dissatisfaction with the status quo, the desire for a better quality of life and a higher position ...... have a sense of forward pressure. In addition, peer competition is becoming more and more intense, the economic situation, social status and other aspects of the mutual comparison of the mentality also exacerbated the pressure of individuals. Similarly, the competition in the industry is also a major source of pressure, in the Internet industry, middle-aged people, not only technology is outdated, learning ability and energy can not match with young people, empty qualifications and experience has been unable to stand on the job market. Positively facing pressure is good. From a personal point of view, pressure can inspire people's fighting spirit, help break the comfort zone, prompting individuals to continue to learn and progress in the competition to reap the benefits of growth. From the industry's point of view, today's society, labor-intensive industries are no longer advantageous, fierce competition in the industry, enterprises will focus on research and development to stimulate technological innovation, accelerate technological innovation and industrial transformation. In the country, whether it is the arms race, the space industry or nuclear weapons, developed countries are far ahead. But China is still showing the international community its diplomatic attitude, its high speed rail technology and its high level of regional cooperation through the Belt and Road program, even though it is under heavy pressure.
But overloaded pressure is often counterproductive. Too heavy learning tasks and exams may stifle the development of other aspects of the youth, so that it becomes a "test machine", high scores and low performance examples are not rare, the youth strong strong in the overall development rather than a single body now results. In addition, depression has become an epidemic in this era, which is a by-product of the whole social atmosphere is shrouded in layers of pressure. The news of sudden death at work is also increasing, if you can't regulate your emotions, a good balance between stress and life, and be the master of your own emotions, all the success will be meaningless.
Pressure is only one aspect of life, everyone's life pursuit of different, quiet and far is not a good way to live. "Loose" and "tight" organic combination, free to make life more colorful. Moderate pressure supplemented by a relaxed state of mind will help us deal with problems better. In addition, the rhythm that suits most people may not be suitable for you, no need to blindly follow, do not suit your own things. It is important to master your own pace, find what you are good at, learn to dismantle your goals and relax moderately. In short, no matter what kind of pressure, should be in the action on the "tight" a little bit, in the mind "loose" a little bit, to do just as well as soft, relaxed.
