Fall in love with school, no longer tire of learning

Chapter 6 Various Manifestations of Study Weariness (2)
According to Xiao Zheng's self-introduction, he is 28 years old, from Huadian, Jilin Province, and his ideal is to be a teacher. After graduating in 2005, he worked as a substitute teacher in Guangdong with a monthly salary of about 1000 yuan. He was fired in 2008.Later, he returned to his hometown, took tutoring from students during the day, and set up a small stall in front of the school at night, selling barbecue, "earning some pocket money and barely getting by."

"It's too difficult to find a job now. I don't have a background, my family is difficult, and I don't graduate from a prestigious university. I can't submit my resumes." Xiao Zheng said that in the past five years, he has submitted countless resumes and was rejected. These experiences made him The beautiful ambitions and dreams of my youth were all wiped out.He wanted to start his own business, but the economic conditions did not allow him. His parents were laid off and unemployed. He spent all his family savings in college, and all the money he earned from work was sent home to pay off debts.

"It's useless to ask for a diploma. Many places don't even give you an interview opportunity. I've been in college for nothing in the past few years." Explaining the reason for burning his diploma, Xiao Zheng said that he didn't want to put on a show, let alone be sympathized with , I just want to vent the depression and helplessness in my heart, and at the same time, I want to use this to draw the society's attention to unemployed college students.

After the video of "burning the graduation certificate" was uploaded on the Internet, it was immediately circulated on various websites, and a controversy ensued, and Renren.com also launched a discussion among netizens.In Jilin Province, Xiaozheng's hometown, this incident has also attracted the attention and reflection of many college students, and has become a hot topic on campus.

"It seems crazy, but it is an alternative performance art, which reflects the sorrow and helplessness of some contemporary college students." Xiaoguan, a student at Changchun University, expressed his understanding of Xiao Zheng's behavior.He said: "I have to study hard for 16 years to get a university diploma. It is reasonable to cherish it. But these days, masters and doctors are all over the street. What are undergraduates? Except for famous universities, most of the diplomas of other universities are not worth anything. It is a stepping stone of weight. It is difficult for college students to find a job after finishing college. This kind of psychological pressure and life poverty are unbearable for ordinary college students.”

Xiao Guo, a classmate from Jilin University, believes: “The graduation certificate was originally a proof that the university’s academic ability has reached the standard. But the current situation is that, on the one hand, it is difficult for college students to find jobs, and on the other hand, recruiters complain that they cannot recruit talents, describing the current university as a crash course. class, the quality of higher education has declined, and the curriculum subjects are out of touch with social needs. Ask yourself, some college students are impetuous during their studies; some spend a lot of time online clubbing, making friends and falling in love every day. How much is the real ability? College students can only gain a place in the job market if they work hard to improve their own strength. Instead of burning their diplomas in anger, it is better to work harder now."

"Actually, for us junior college students, the graduation certificate doesn't mean much. We look for a job based on our ability." Xiao Lu, a student at Jilin Institute of Technology, said that the graduation certificate is a certificate of recognition obtained after more than 10 years of hard work. Burning it is a This is a very irrational approach. What's more, in today's highly competitive environment, a college diploma is no longer a talisman for employment. You can't put all your job expectations on this piece of paper. The key to being recognized and accepted by the society lies in Improve your abilities.

After Xiao Zheng burned his graduation certificate, he was honored by some netizens as "the best college student in history in 2010" and "with personality".In this regard, Zhao Hongyi, an associate professor at the School of Education of Northeast Normal University, pointed out that this special case is an overreaction caused by young people's long-term failure to realize their ideals and aspirations, and they will naturally return to normal after a period of calm down.

"A burning graduation certificate illuminates many practical problems, but in the process of reflection, the responsibility cannot be completely shifted to universities and society." Zhao Hongyi believes that employment involves issues such as personal ability and social needs, and young people should combine internal and external factors. Problems, learn lessons from the incident, and spur yourself to develop to meet the needs of future positions.

"Test Master" Zhang Fei

"Kaoba" is a new term, one of the 171 new Chinese words announced by the Ministry of Education over the years. Zhang Fei, the protagonist of "Kaoba", has also become a household name. He was admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University twice, hence the name "Kaoba".However, due to his addiction to the Internet, he dropped out of Peking University and Tsinghua University in a few years.His topic has extended to this day, and has evolved into a broader issue-dropping out.

In 2003, Zhang Fei studied at Yuechi No. 606 Middle School in Guang'an City, Sichuan Province. He scored 2004 in the college entrance examination and was admitted to the School of Information Science and Technology of Peking University.

It is understood that although it is not uncommon for college students to drop out in colleges and universities over the years, the topic of dropping out has never been as lively as this year. There is also a "China Dropout Network" on the Internet. people with the same experience.

Another "test bully"

Xiao Li (pseudonym), who is currently studying Chinese language and comparative literature at a normal university, is an actual sample of dropping out.

In 2002, he was admitted to Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications majoring in communication engineering with a high score of 652 in science. After studying for two years, he chose to drop out of school automatically in March 2. He took the college entrance examination again in June and scored 2005. entered the current university.

The reason for dropping out is whether he doesn’t like this major or his grades can’t keep up. He said: “I have both, but if my grades can keep up, I won’t drop out of school.” No matter what my interest in learning, my grades can’t get better, and there are very few subjects that pass each semester. “More importantly, I don’t think this job is what I want in the future, and I will be unhappy for the rest of my life.”

"I prefer liberal arts, so I chose comparative literature, which combines arts and science, for the second college entrance examination. In fact, this is not my favorite major, but at least I have studied well."

Xiao Li, who entered the normal university, is now the monitor of the class and received a first-class scholarship. He just finished his sophomore year and has passed CET-[-]... He said that his mentality is different now. After the previous experience, now The purpose of learning is for himself, to learn what he wants to learn, although he still doesn't like the teaching mode of the current university.

I also took the science test. I got 652 points in the first test, and only 583 points in the second test. There is a lot of difference. What if I don’t pass the test?
"It's very simple, then start working first." Xiao Li's retreat is very simple.

"Can you get a job without a diploma?"

"Actually, a university is just a diploma. From my point of view, I can actually do anything, as long as I do it with my heart, I can do my best. So now I go to university not only in class, but also after class. For other content, I would like to work part-time in the society during the summer vacation and gain some experience. I don’t think it’s good to study hard, otherwise you will be on the old road before dropping out of school.”

Although he dropped out of school and passed the exam again, Xiao Li did not agree with dropping out of school.He said that dropping out of school and re-reading is too much of a waste of youth. "Now 70% of the students in the university are dawdling. In this case, it is a waste of time to drop out and re-study."
