如今中国家长对孩子说得最多的话是“好好学习,考试一定要考高分”。别看他们在说这句话时和蔼可亲,但是一旦孩子成绩不好了,表情直接一百八十度大翻转,那“凶神恶煞”的模样,想必很多孩子都看到过。
The most common thing Chinese parents say to their children nowadays is' study hard and get high scores in exams'. Don't be fooled by their affability when saying this, but once a child's grades are poor, their expression will flip 180 degrees, giving them a fierce and vicious appearance that many children must have seen.
在考试决定未来的这种压力下,每个家长都不希望自己的孩子被“淘汰”,所以只能通过补习班,练习册等方式提升孩子的成绩。他们总是认为这是为了孩子的未来好,可是让孩子成为专门为了考试考好的“考奴”真的好么?
Under the pressure of exams determining the future, every parent does not want their child to be "eliminated", so they can only improve their child's grades through tutoring classes, exercise books, and other methods. They always think it's for the good of their children's future, but is it really good to make them become "exam slaves" specifically for doing well in exams?
我认为应该给学生一些自由的时间,让他们去做自己想做的事情,让他们有追求喜好的权利和时间。家长总是很难感受到孩子的处境,家长在生活中都会感受到压力,何况是孩子呢?如今的学习不比工作容易多少,家长都有休息时间,孩子为什么不可以有呢?俗话说“劳逸结合”,孩子也劳了,要一点逸的。给予孩子一点空间,一点缝隙,也是对他努力上学一天的肯定,这是一种尊重,会让孩子觉得学习有意义,自己的努力可以被肯定,从而更加刻苦地去学习。
I think students should be given some free time to do what they want and have the right and time to pursue their preferences. Parents always find it difficult to feel their children's situation, as they all experience pressure in their daily lives, let alone their children? Nowadays, learning is not much easier than work, and parents have rest time. Why can't children have it? As the saying goes, 'balance work and rest'. Even when children are tired, they should have some leisure. Providing children with some space and gaps is also a recognition of their hard work in school for a day. This is a form of respect that will make children feel that learning is meaningful, and their efforts can be recognized, leading them to study harder.
我还认为,孩子必须要有一些爱好。每一个孩子在自己的天赋领域上都是天才,但是大家都要主课学习,所以那些天赋不在学习上的,又没有追求喜好的孩子,生活中没有真正喜爱之物,会让他们的世界变得灰暗,无色。而天赋则是孩子世界的染色剂,让孩子追求他自身的喜好,不仅可以丰富他对于生活的认知,也可以加强他对于生活的热爱,更加能快乐地投入学习。
I also believe that children must have some hobbies. Every child is a genius in their own field of talent, but everyone has to take the lead in learning. Therefore, those children whose talents are not in learning and who do not pursue their preferences, without truly loving things in life, will make their world dark and colorless. And talent is the dye of a child's world, allowing them to pursue their own preferences not only enriches their understanding of life, but also strengthens their love for life, and enables them to happily engage in learning.
我还有一点要说:做白日梦其实不是错的,现在最流行的一个词就是追梦,没有梦想,孩子就会自我怀疑:自己为什么要学习?而梦想中的“梦”则正好来源于做梦,做白日梦其实可以让孩子有一个学习的精神支柱,让孩子的学习有活力,有目标,而不是一味地想着考高分,考好大学。
I have one more thing to say: daydreaming is not wrong. The most popular word now is "chasing dreams". Without dreams, children will doubt themselves: why do they need to learn? And the "dream" in dreams happens to come from dreaming. Daydreaming can actually provide children with a spiritual pillar for learning, making their learning energetic and goal oriented, rather than just thinking about getting high scores and doing well in college.
梦想起源于兴趣,兴趣起源于天赋,想把天赋激发为兴趣,则需要让孩子在学习的过程中有空闲的时间,让他自己有机会做喜欢做的事。
Dreams originate from interests, and interests originate from talents. To stimulate talents into interests, children need to have free time during the learning process and have the opportunity to do things they enjoy.
