What this mother did when her child said school was useless! A lesson for all parents

What is the purpose of going to school? If I answer \”knowledge changes destiny\”, that would be too tacky and unconvincing. In order to live a high-class life? To better understand the world? To enrich our spiritual world? These are all correct, but if my child asks me this, I will tell him: There is nothing to go to school for, it is just that I can\’t stand my stupid self. After the family had dinner yesterday, my son\’s father and I were sitting in the living room chatting, while my son was doing homework in his room. The two of us talked about a more interesting topic, and our laughter became louder, which disturbed our son in the room. I saw my son walked out angrily and shouted: \”Can you please keep your voice down? It\’s good for you. After a day of work, you don\’t have to do anything. How comfortable it is. Look at me again, after a day of school , I have to do my homework when I come back, I’m so exhausted!” After hearing what the child said, I really couldn’t laugh or cry. You are still too young, otherwise how could you easily say that \”school is not as good as work\”? Since we were at fault first, I quickly apologized to my child: \”I\’m sorry, your dad and I chatted too loudly and disturbed you. Please pay attention. However, it\’s not easy for us to go to work. On the contrary, it\’s very stressful. That\’s why you use this relaxing way to relieve yourself. Son, when you get out of society, you will know that school time is always the most beautiful, and studying is not hard at all.\” The son continued to complain: \”But no matter whether you go to school or not, you will know that school time is always the most beautiful. When you go to school, you have to go out to work, why do you have to work after going to school? You are tired all the time…\” Listening to my son\’s childish words, I couldn\’t find the right words to let my child understand that going to school is very useful. So I had to temporarily let my son go back to the house to do his homework, and I have been thinking of ways to make sure that my son understands the truth. A few days later, I invited my nephew, who had dropped out of school for a year and now works in an electronics factory, to my house for dinner. My son loved playing with him when he was a child. After dinner, we all sat down and chatted together. I deliberately did not let my son do his homework. I asked my nephew: \”How is your work lately? Are you tired? Do you earn enough money to spend?\” My nephew sighed first, and then said with a frustrated face: \”Hey… forget it, I have to stand for 12 hours a day. You have to stare directly at the product. Those electronic parts are so small that your eyes will be blinded. Sometimes after work, I go straight to bed without even wanting to eat.\” I followed my nephew and said: \”This You know how hard it is, right? When I asked you to study hard and you didn\’t study hard, you know it\’s not easy to go to work now that you\’re working, right?\” The nephew repeatedly echoed: \”Hey… Gu, don\’t say it, you\’ll regret it to death.\” Even if I knew I was beaten to death, I would not drop out of school. Now look at my former classmates, all of them are living a very happy life, and they are not as tired as me.\” The son who was sitting and listening spoke up, \”But after working, Do you have money to spend? What\’s not hard work? Going to school is also very tiring.\” Upon hearing this, the nephew stood up and said forcefully: \”You have never worked. Of course you don\’t know that working is much more tiring than going to school. . And the little money I earned was so exhausted that I spent it all on food. I couldn’t even buy a gaming device! So, little guy, you have to study hard. Don’t follow me.I studied! \”I saw my son\’s dubious look, and I had another idea in my mind. A few days later, my uncle\’s daughter came back from abroad to visit relatives. Since I hadn\’t seen her for a long time, I called her over for dinner. My cousin She has achieved excellent results since she was a child. After completing her undergraduate course at a key domestic university, she continued to study abroad. Before she graduated, many well-known companies wanted to hire her. Not long after the dinner started, I asked my cousin to explain Talking about her experience of studying abroad. My cousin introduced us one by one about how beautiful her campus was, how nice the local scenery was, how enthusiastic the locals were, and all kinds of delicious food and fun. We were fascinated by it. . Even the son was moved and said to his cousin with an envious expression: \”Auntie, I really want to go abroad like you, but I don\’t want to study abroad…\” The cousin answered patiently. He said: \”Of course you can. You can also go abroad to play or work, but the prerequisite is that you must have capital. In other words, except for the second generation of wealthy officials and the second generation of government officials, if children from ordinary families want to have capital, the only way out is to go to school. The son asked unwillingly: \”But going to school is too hard.\” The cousin burst out laughing and continued: \”Silly boy, this is really the funniest joke I have heard this year.\” Some people actually say that going to school is hard. Then let me ask you, compared with those construction workers who move bricks and earth under the scorching sun, and those who get up early to sell breakfast no matter how cold the weather is, how many of you were exposed to the sun when you were studying? Injuries and frostbite? Maybe you don\’t quite understand what I\’m saying now, because after all, what you are experiencing now is learning, and you don\’t know how hard the future work will be. But my aunt just wants you to remember one thing: Go to school so that you can do your favorite thing in the future! Even playing games! \”After listening, my son nodded deeply and said nothing more. Before going to bed that night, my son came to me and whispered: \”Mom, mom, I must study hard in the future. I don’t want to be like my brother, who is exhausted all day long and has no money to spend; I want to be like my aunt, who goes abroad to study and see the world! \”I looked at my son\’s excited face and teased him: \”But studying is very hard, aren\’t you afraid? The son said firmly: \”Don\’t be afraid!\” Although studying is hard, it is not the most annoying thing. Just like my aunt said, I want to study hard and do my favorite thing in the future! \”When I heard my son say this, I smiled happily. My hard work was finally in vain. Since then, my son has never complained about the hard work of studying in front of me. He studies more seriously every day, and his grades have naturally improved. In fact, sometimes, nagging your children too much can actually make them rebellious. The more you ask them to study hard, the less they want to learn. Like this mother, don’t preach too much to your children, but use Real examples around children allow children to understand the true meaning on their own. Only when children figure it out on their own can education truly achieve its goal.
