Let Education Happen Naturally And Occur In Nature

Children who are educated incorrectly are further away from wisdom than those who are uneducated

I often hear some experts calling for the implementation of free preschool education, but in my opinion, the most urgent issue now is not whether it is free or not, but the quality of kindergarten education. My point of view is that children who receive inferior kindergarten education suffer greater losses than those who do not receive kindergarten education, and this harm may affect their entire life, even their lifelong happiness.


In terms of children's education, don't expect to make a mistake in the first education and make up for it later.


Rousseau said, "Children who are educated wrong are farther from wisdom than those who are uneducated


The British educational philosopher Locke mentioned early on that family education must be cautious and careful, and cannot be taken lightly. He said, "Errors in education are like the wrong medicine. If you make a mistake the first time, you cannot expect to remedy it with a second or third time. Their impact cannot be washed away for life


Children who receive low-quality kindergarten education suffer greater damage than those who do not receive kindergarten education. Wrong education leads children further away from wisdom than lack of education.


Nature hopes that children will become like children before they reach adulthood. If we disrupt this order, we will create some premature fruits that are neither plump nor sweet, and will soon rot. We will create some young doctors and elderly children. Children have their own unique perspectives, thoughts, and emotions. If we want to replace them with our perspectives, thoughts, and emotions, it is simply the most foolish thing. "(Rousseau, Emile, People's Education Press, 1985:84)


The impact of low-quality education is so profound and significant that it cannot be ignored.


So, in reality, what are the main manifestations of low-quality kindergarten education? Based on my understanding, I believe that low-quality kindergarten education is mainly characterized by low educational efficiency (high time, manpower, and material costs for children's growth), ineffectiveness (no impact on children's development, causing them to miss opportunities for growth), and negative effects (not only having no positive impact on children's growth, but also having negative effects). The main manifestations of low-quality kindergarten education are:


1、 Low quality environment

·The design, production, and final product of the kindergarten environment were not participatory.

·The monotonous environment in kindergarten leads to one-sided development of young children.

·Kindergarten design and production costs are high.

·Preschool teachers lack basic professional attitudes, such as not loving their work, not finding happiness and joy in their work, and working solely for salary.

·Bring the teaching philosophy and methods from elementary school to kindergarten, and then fully 'elementary school' the kindergarten.
