How do Tsinghua parents train their children to go to Tsinghua?

Peking University mother teaches you to educate the next generation... In recent years, some self-media with the title of famous school have become popular on the Internet by posting their parenting views, parenting methods and parenting good things.

After following these accounts, many parents can easily fall into a kind of educational anxiety created intentionally or unintentionally by "parents of famous schools" and cannot extricate themselves, which is ultimately not conducive to the growth and learning of their children.

  Recently, the Ministry of Education responded to the "Proposal on Strictly Preventing "Parents of Famous Schools" from Exporting the "Chicken Baby" Concept to Offset the Effectiveness of the "Double Deduction" Work proposed by the members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, saying that it will continue to conscientiously implement the central government's important decision on the "double reduction" work. To deploy, cooperate with the Central Internet Information Office and other departments to continue to carry out online inspections, focus on the management of malicious speculation such as spoofing education hotspots, fabricating false information, and exaggerating the anxiety of entering a higher school, insisting on attacking when it shows up, attacking with heavy punches, and maintaining a high-pressure situation.

  "Parents of famous schools" are actually true and false. False "parents of famous schools" fabricate false information, which is of course illegal to release information, while real "parents of famous schools" export the concept of "chicken baby" in the name of introducing their own parenting experience, and How to investigate?

Starting from respecting each individual’s right of expression, real “prestigious school parents” should be allowed to tell their own parenting stories, and whether their parenting philosophy affects other parents, it is necessary to strengthen family education guidance so that parents understand scientific parenting concept, and enhance the ability to identify.

  We-media bloggers who claim to be "prestigious school parents" on the Internet are actually fake, their children are not in famous schools, but they comment on educational hotspots, analyze educational policies, and "share" educational concepts as "prestigious school parents" , to create and sell anxiety blog traffic.

It is not difficult to govern the "chicken baby account" that fakes "parents of famous schools". It only needs the platform to verify the real identity of the blogger and ask the blogger to submit the real information of the child.

If you want to post as a "parent of a famous school", you are also obliged to submit relevant information.

  There is a type of "prestigious school parents" whose "chicken baby" governance is more complicated. This is the "prestigious school parents" who are fake, some of them are "tiger mothers" and "tiger dads", who believe in exam-oriented education, and give it to other parents. Instill advanced education, only grades, and only prestigious schools, emphasizing the stratification and grading of education.

For the "chicken baby number" of these "parents of famous schools", governance cannot be just one thing.

  For example, when schools make up lessons in violation of regulations, there are "parents of famous schools" who tell parents based on their experience that they must support the school's supplementary lessons, and they will suffer great losses when they oppose supplementary lessons. Some "parents of famous schools" questioned that quality education is a luxury in big cities and wealthy families, and children from ordinary families still need to honestly transfer to exams, and improving their scores is the "kingdom".

These concepts form a great resistance to advancing education reform.

  To make the "chicken baby" of these "famous school parents" have no market, it is necessary to tell parents the correct educational philosophy and methods, and strengthen the interpretation of educational reform policies.

It should be noted that the current family education guidance provided by many schools and communities is still based on catering to the utilitarian education demands of parents, including asking "parents of famous schools" to introduce how to train their children to enter famous schools.

  In fact, the most important family education is the education of life, and parents should pay more attention to the physical and mental development of their children.

A student who entered the secondary vocational school entrance examination, through his own efforts, successfully started his own business and became an entrepreneur. From the perspective of family education, this also belongs to successful family education.

And a student went to the society to support himself, lived an ordinary and happy life, and his parents' home education was also successful.

The family education concept of success based on famous schools must be abandoned.

To this end, we should earnestly promote the reform of education evaluation that eliminates academic qualifications and prestigious schools, and guide the whole society to get rid of the utilitarian education concept and return to educating people.
