With the development of society, we have paid too much attention to education after solving the problem of food and clothing. In recent years, in order to avoid the college entrance examination, more and more students suddenly decided to study abroad a few months before the college entrance examination. Parents were caught off guard, and the study agent earned a lot of money.

Everyone, out of goodwill or vanity, forces their children to excel. It may be right to expect their children to succeed, but who cares what their children want to be?

How many parents impose their unfulfilled life dreams on their children, leaving them breathless. Children's psychological endurance is also very limited. What's wrong with running away from home and jumping off a building to commit suicide?

Are these phenomena similar to the story of the madman mentioned in the article?

Families with better economic conditions even emigrate for the education of their children. The father makes money at home to provide living expenses and tuition, and the mother goes abroad with her children. The long-term separation of parents has led to divorce in many families. I have seen such a China family in the United States, Canadian, Japanese and French.

Will the children educated in this way be happy, excellent, grateful and useful to society?

There is another phenomenon. Every year, junior high school students, senior high school students and college students can't help committing suicide. Last year, a classmate who was a professor at a university in Hebei said among his classmates that two undergraduates committed suicide by jumping off a building within one month of their university, one of whom was the child of his colleague.

The sad mother had hoped that her children would go to the United States to study PhD after graduation. Now that everyone is gone, what else are you studying?

It's not easy to live. We study hard, work hard and live a happier life. But the result is exactly the opposite.

The original intention or intention of education is to make people understand, inspire, be grateful and stand on their own feet, make contributions to social development, learn to think, and make people become better themselves.

However, with the progress of the times, there are more and more new types of "lunatics", which is distressing and thought-provoking.

What's going on here? Is there something wrong with our society? Is it our heart disease or our desire too strong?

I hope that there will be fewer and fewer "lunatics" mentioned in future articles, and education will return to its true colors. Children go to school happily, parents set an example, teachers teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and society develops healthily.
