Top of the big era

Children’s education is indeed a subject that cannot be avoided.

Zhou Buqi couldn't avoid it, so he had to face it.

You can’t just have children and not raise them, right?

He has many children. Currently, he has a 9-year-old eldest daughter Zhou Xin, a 6-year-old second daughter Zhou Nianyi, a 3-year-old daughter Zhou Ning, a 3-year-old son Zhou Jianzhou, and a son Zhou Jingce who is less than 2 years old. , daughter Zhou Muning, son Zhou Yanli.

In addition, Yang Mi is pregnant with a daughter, and her due date is early March next year. Baoshan is also pregnant with her second child, and her due date is August next year.

As the children get older, as a parent, you really need to plan your children’s education strategies.

Under the conditions of the Zhou family, the educational dilemma is of course not the allocation of funds and educational resources, but the choice between happiness and excellence.

Education can make people grow, but stepping out of the comfort zone will make children's childhood less happy. The mainstream education culture in Europe and the United States promotes happy education.

This is a bit troublesome.

How to choose?

A person's life is the same at all times and in all countries. 60% is determined by his father. As a child of Zhou Buqi, even if he is not so outstanding, he can still have a very dreamy life in the future.

However, Ning Yaxian and Wen Zhixia, the mothers whose daughters have grown up, obviously disdain the happy education system in the United States.

They recognize domestic education methods more.

Zhou Buqi went upstairs to change clothes, and Aunt Xue and Ning Yaxian pestered him, asking him to give an explanation.

Or say that a good woman can be rich for three generations. Women obviously value education more than men.

Zhou Buqi hesitated and said: "I don't know much about education, let alone the United States. I don't even know much about the education situation in China. Is it better to constantly enroll children in extracurricular classes, or not to enroll in any classes at all?" Is free-range feeding good? This seems to be controversial, and many education experts can’t say.”

"No!" Aunt Xue said angrily, not letting him go, "Is this how you treat yourself as a man? It's not responsible at all."

Zhou Buqi said very strangely: "Why am I irresponsible? Why don't you just stand here with your head up and holding on to the wall, and I will take care of you here?"

Aunt Xue's face was a little hot. Although she didn't hide it from Ning Yaxian, she was embarrassed to flirt in front of her. She said angrily: "You just give birth to the child, and then you abandon us women after the child is born? Education is a big thing, you are a man, you have to make a decision.”

"I've never raised a child, so I really don't have much experience..." Zhou Buqi really couldn't make a choice. "However, I know football, and I can tell a little bit about it from the development of youth football in Europe."

"football?"

Aunt Xue frowned slightly, she didn't quite understand.

Zhou Buqi said: "European football is very strong. In countries like England and Spain, almost every boy will play football since childhood. There are many clubs there with a strong football culture and a huge football foundation. ”

Aunt Xue was a little reluctant, "What does this have to do with education?"

"Yes!" Zhou Buqi then said the key point, "Domestic football is very backward, so many experts often go to Europe to inspect and study the development of their youth football... As for the guidance of Zhang Lu, who explains football, Have you seen it on TV?"

"do not know."

Aunt Xue snorted softly, and at the same time, together with Ning Yaxian, she took off his coat and helped him put on casual clothes at home.

Zhou Buqi said: "Anyway, after they went to Europe for an inspection, they started to promote it in China. According to the European youth football model they inspected, they customized the development football concept for domestic youth groups-happy football."

"ah?"

Aunt Xue and Ning Yaxian were busy changing his underwear. They both squatted under her and raised their heads to look at him when they heard this.

Here comes the point!

Zhou Buqi said: "The basis of youth training in Europe is indeed happy football. The children only train three or four days a week, and they train for about an hour every day. They all play and play football like a game. There is no ranking or scoring in the competition. They feel that domestic children have trained too much since they were young, and they have been too tired to practice, not only have they lost their interest in football, but also their imagination.”

Ning Yaxian nodded lightly and agreed, "Yes, that's what I mean. The innovation here in the United States is so strong, and there are so many scientists who have won Nobel Prizes, just because they have expertise, interest, and imagination. Many people say, The kind of exam-oriented learning in China has rigidified children’s thinking and turned it into a problem-solving tool, but they lost interest in the process of constant repetition.”

Zhou Buqi said: "After I went to Europe, especially after acquiring Manchester United, and saw the youth training of truly top clubs, I discovered that there are actually many misunderstandings here."

"misunderstanding?"

"Well, Manchester United's youth training echelon does have a very low training volume. It only lasts three or four days a week, and only one or two hours each time. However, the truly best young players have the potential to go professional. Young players are crazy. They practice for at least seven or eight hours every day. In order to practice well, they not only practice extra every day, but also hire private coaches.”

"Like at home?"

"The amount of training is much greater than that in China!" Zhou Buqi shook his head, "I also have clubs in China, and I have done special research. The children in the youth training echelon go online to play games when they have time. Teenagers When I got older, I started smoking and drinking. I have seen many children from Manchester United who have professional dreams. It can be said that football is really their whole life. They practice with private coaches, in school, and in the yard when they go home. He even plays football in his arms at night.”

Aunt Xue also understood and said in surprise: "So European football players actually work harder than domestic players?"

Zhou Buqi said: "This is for sure. No matter how much talent you have, it will be useless if you don't work hard. Moreover, hard work must start from a young age, especially if you are a professional. If you want to become one of the top hundreds of professions in the world, As a player, you must have professional training and hard work since childhood. The domestic investigation team learned the ideas of happy football, light training, and interest cultivation, but they only scratched the surface and have not seen Europe. The real strength of football is that there are no shortcuts in this world, and all success is inseparable from extreme hard work.”

Ning Yaxian was concerned about education, and naturally understood what her man meant, and said slowly: "Yes, the happy education here in the United States is the same. At first glance, it is indeed happy education. Children in school They are all very happy. They learn very little knowledge in school. The class time is very short and there are no exams. The main thing in school is to have fun and play. However, the elites who really value education will be in school education. Find extra-curricular tutoring for your children.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, happy education in school is just a facade. Extracurricular tutoring outside school is the key to turning a cocoon into a butterfly."

Ning Yaxian agreed, "Yes, there are many arguments in China, saying that happy education in the United States is so good for children... This is really a huge misunderstanding. In my opinion, happy education is like a huge This is a huge conspiracy to divide children into three, six or nine grades from an early age. "

At first, Aunt Xue didn’t quite understand why she said there was a big conspiracy hidden in the American education system. Now she finally understood. She said in shock: “Through the allocation of educational resources, children are separated from each other at an early age. Come? If children from poor families cannot receive extracurricular tutoring, they are doomed to have poor grades and will only be at the bottom of society in the future. However, children from elite families can receive the most educational resources since childhood. When you grow up, you can naturally become an elite."

Ning Yaxian said: "That's what I mean, or I would say the domestic education system is fairer."

Aunt Xue became nervous, "Then we must not be fooled by Happy Education!"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Don't talk about conspiracy theories, people have different ideas. They believe that school is a place to make friends and play with classmates. To put it bluntly, school is a place for socializing. The rules of survival in today's society, Social interaction is more important than knowledge. With basic social skills, you can survive. If you want to become the middle class or even the elite, you need better knowledge and professional skills. The education in China is indeed very good and powerful, but haven’t you noticed? "Many college students who have received higher education do not even have basic social skills when they enter the society. They have only one skill but no survival instinct."

Ning Yaxian was also a college student in the 1990s. She was not as opinionated as Aunt Xue, so she disagreed, "Indeed, junior high schools and primary schools in the United States mainly teach basic common sense of life, and knowledge is not the focus. etc. High school and college are the places where you really learn knowledge. However, we cannot deny that this is a huge conspiracy and we must not be fooled.”

After changing clothes, Zhou Buqi was held on both sides by Aunt Xue and Ning Yaxian, just like he was escorting a prisoner. They escorted him to the living room on this floor and pushed him onto the sofa.

Ning Yaxian continued the topic just now and said: "When I was a child, I didn't learn the basics well. When I reached high school, the amount of knowledge suddenly increased, and I faced the pressure of going to college. At this time, who can keep up with the courses? Only two students The kind of people who can keep up are the children from middle-class and above-rich families who have been tutored since childhood. The other kind is the gifted students who have extremely high talents and can understand a lot of knowledge. The rest are mediocre. Children who have never received any extracurricular tutoring since childhood are unlikely to go to college. They know nothing but social interaction and can only be reduced to the bottom of society, working as workers or waiters, becoming the lowest level of sand in this society. "

Zhou Buqi nodded, "That's true."

This also has its own pros and cons.

This kind of educational structure design can greatly reduce the involution effect in society and prevent social resources from becoming a seller's market... It can allow everyone with knowledge and ability to find their own place.

It is different in China. Many knowledgeable and educated people have been trained, but there are not enough jobs. This will lead to the absence of a large number of knowledgeable and capable people in society, and these people pride themselves on being knowledgeable and capable. Culture, and it is difficult to work in low-level positions such as workers, waiters, and takeaways, and it is even less possible to return to one's hometown to farm, which will lead to increasing involution in society.

Social competition is extremely fierce.

The educational structure in the United States divides people early on... From the time a child receives education, his future life is basically determined. This is actually very cruel, because the elites can provide enough educational resources for their offspring, so that their offspring will still be elites. Unless the offspring of poor people are gifted, it is difficult for them to turn over a new leaf, and they can only continue to be poor, and the class change in society will be very low.

Ning Yaxian said: "Geniuses may be able to stand out in the happy education system, but I dare not bet. The early bird can fly far, and the smart bird can fly farther. There is no use feeling sorry for this kind of thing. As parents, we can't just think about making our children happy. Only fools are happy every day. We still have to grit our teeth and accept extracurricular tutoring to make up for all the courses. It's best to send them back every summer vacation to experience those educational institutions in China."
