Children, going to school is not called studying, it is called receiving basic education.

For a period of time, my son had to stay up late doing homework every day, leaving almost no time for reading. I regretfully said to him, \”You haven\’t studied for a long time.\” My son asked me in surprise, \”I go to school every day, isn\’t that called studying?\” I said, \”No, that\’s called receiving basic education. \”The son seemed to understand and said: \”Then I will try to get basic education and read more books.\” An ordinary family and a pair of ordinary parents cannot give their children glory, wealth, and power. Perhaps, the only advice that can be left to children is: read as many books as possible, books other than textbooks. The principles of life, grounded wisdom, rich knowledge, inner peace, and poetic distance are all in the books you read. You ask, what is the difference between reading and basic education? In the current examination-oriented education system, the entire primary and secondary education stage is collectively referred to as compulsory education, and its purposes are nothing more than two: one is to eliminate illiteracy; the other is to enter higher education. Compulsory education is an education that all school-age children and teenagers must receive uniformly and uniformly by the state. It is a public welfare undertaking that the state must protect. It is also the basic education for entering high school and university and entering society. The score is the important (to say the only, a bit extreme) criterion for testing. It is clear who is higher and who is lower. The significance of reading, as Bacon said in \”On Reading\”: Reading history makes people clear their minds, reading poetry makes people smart, mathematics makes people thoughtful, science makes people profound, ethics makes people solemn, logic and rhetoric make people good. debate. My child, is the difference between the two also clear at a glance? Regarding the difference between reading and not reading, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei\’s answers became popular on the Internet. By the way, Liu Bei expressed his wish to form an alliance with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Guan Yu said: Although Guan is a warrior, he also knows the word loyalty and righteousness. As the saying goes, a bird that chooses wood can live in a good tree, and a minister who chooses a master can meet a bright master. , Guan Mou’s lifelong wish is enough. From now on, Guan\’s life will be Brother Liu\’s life, and Guan\’s body will be Brother Liu\’s body, but there will be no two minds in driving him. Although he didn\’t understand what he meant, seeing Guan Yu\’s righteousness, Zhang Fei hurriedly expressed his determination: I am the same! Guan Yu continued: I vowed to share weal and woe with my brother, and to accompany him through life and death. Zhang Fei seemed to understand this sentence, and he solemnly followed: Me too! Guan Yu pointed to the sky and swore: \”You Chong\’s words will be pierced by heaven and man.\” No matter what he meant, Zhang Fei didn\’t have time to think about it, anyway: I am the same! That\’s right, if you don\’t read books other than basic education and don\’t have the ability to think independently, when expressing your opinions, you can only repeat: Me too! Is this kind of life too boring? Recently I was reading \”Poor Charlie\’s Almanack\” by Peter Kaufman. Sometimes, when I read an exciting part, I couldn\’t help but read it out loud. When I read \”Charlie said, there\’s no smart person I\’ve ever met in my life (smart people from all walks of life) who doesn\’t read every day – not one, not one.\” Warren (yes, the rich and powerful one) It might surprise you how much I read. My kids laugh at me. They think I\’m a book with two legs.\” Listen Then he burst into laughter and couldn’t help repeating “The book with two legs” and translated it in his own language as “It turns out that Charlie Munger isA walking library! \”What is the use of reading? If we had not read \”Poor Charlie\’s Almanac\”, we would not have excited resonance; we would not have known that there are people who are \”walking libraries\”; we would not have understood that Charlie and Warren were not only super A master is still the best friend; we don’t understand that smart people read every day. The main purpose of current basic education is to enter higher education. A good life in the minds of most parents and teachers is to study in a good primary school and a good school. High school, a good university, a good job, a wife and children, and a peaceful life. This goal is realistic, and there is no problem with the expectations of parents and teachers. The problem is that life should not only have this way, it should have more possibilities Sex gives you the ability to overcome obstacles while wandering on a path full of flowers. My child, if you are depressed, go to school. If you are strong-willed, go to school. If you are hesitant, go to school. Read a book. If you are determined and persistent, go read a book. Finally, I would like to give you a piece of advice from Charlie Munger: Make friends with the \”dead greats\”. If you do make friends with those who have outstanding ideas in your life, If you become friends with great people who have passed away, then I think you will have a better life and a better education.
