Why do contemporary college students lack the spirit of questioning?

Because the education we have received from childhood to adulthood is an education with standard answers, and once we have deviations from this standard answer, it will be judged as wrong. So we never know what the so-called questioning is. Once we question the authority and the teacher, we will be judged wrong. With such an education, who would dare to question it?

In addition, for most people, the spirit of questioning is a manifestation of resistance. Whether it is parents, teachers or schools, they generally will not give a good look to such naturally rebellious students. , at least they will be punished accordingly.

So for these students, they have also suffered hardships and know that they should not question them. You should have 100% trust and obedience to what your parents and teachers say. So where did our questioning spirit come from? Even if it exists, it will be wiped out in the cradle.

So we cannot be demanding of current students, but should carefully analyze them from the perspective of their education system. Today's education itself is not a way of cultivating a bright mind. After being trained, the vast majority of people are like machines who can only take exams and choose the only standard answers. They have never had the ability to innovate. Thinking through correlation, so there is no so-called questioning spirit.

Now we keep talking about how important innovation is, and how much benefit having innovative capabilities and thinking can bring to us in the future. However, there is no relevant training throughout our education, and there is no so-called place to exert our innovative abilities.

Even the composition is written in a rigid and routine way. Compositions that fall outside of these methods will be given a low score to a large extent. So where do we question and innovate? Without the spirit of innovation, there will be no spirit of questioning.

So what should be changed most is the way of educating children, so that they can have more or less their own thinking and have some unique views on certain issues, and these views are not instilled by us. His, but something he has mastered.
