应试教育的思考

我出生在80年代末的山区农村，我们从小受到的教育是填鸭式的应试教育，一切的学习都是为了考试拿高分，考重点初中，考重点高中，考重点大学，”读书才是唯一的出路“，”读书才能改变命运“。

然而我们有些人成了这种教育的“废品”，初三，高三一毕业，把全部书本、笔记、字典扔掉，很痛恨读书这件事！

（我人生第一桶金就是这部分人身上挣的：把他们扔的这些书本、笔记、字典搬去卖了，挣了50块。用这第一桶金约上盆友们下了馆子撮了一顿，以庆祝中考顺利考完。几个人一顿饭50块钱还有剩。）

读书期间都在做知识型的记忆，记得快，忘的也快，都是为了考试才记，考完就忘了，我也不例外。

如今我重新审视一路过来的受教育之路。回顾那些学过的知识，观念，理论，实际上很多对生活工作都非常有用，非常实用的。语文课本的一些小故事里含的生活道理，英语课本里学的一些言论等等。

比如“好记性不如烂笔头”这句话所有上过学的人都应该听过，然而毕业了，这句话也就消失了一样！

假设我们从小受过的教育不是应试教育，对知识都在做身体型记忆，相信很多人现在的命运一定比现在会好些，也随时随地能说出一些实用的大道理来，并在很多事情上都能执行到位这些道理。比如诚信，守时，善良，助人为乐，身体是革命的本钱等等。不幸的是应试教育培养出的我们有做到诚信，守时，善良，常健身等等这些简单道理的却不太多。助人为乐也离我们很远，都在担心万一人家碰瓷怎么办，非常值得深思。

回忆我在这样的教育环境下的态度，幸好有些许不同，虽然读书成绩不拔尖，也没考上好大学。但是我在初中高中毕业没有像那些同学一样把书都扔了。我初中高中毕业把所有重要的教材书都一一整理搬回了家里收藏着，还列了个清单附上。前几年回家过年还把这些书拿出来晒了晒太阳，以防受潮损坏（今年回家过年重整了下这些书，拍了些照片，如文末附图），虽然已经记不起多少这些教材书里面的知识了，但对书的爱护态度一直还在。这种态度对我的积极影响还是有的，比如身体记忆里面有守时这个概念，所以每天都在督促自己做到守时这个道理，近一年的上班考勤看是没有一次上班迟到的，真的一次都没有，连自己都不敢相信。

再回头看这句“读书才能改变命运”，不少人都没有真正领悟到“读书”是什么概念，以为毕业了读书这事也就和自己没关系了。非常可惜，人生还那么长，改变命运的机会其实是还有的，却白白浪费掉，每天都花掉大量的时间做不太有长远意义的事情。

我常提醒自己：多锻炼，多读书，多思考，多实践。

I was born in a mountainous village in the late 1980s. The education we have received since childhood is cramming education for exams. All learning is to get high scores in exams, such as key middle schools, key high schools and key universities.

However, some of us have become the "rubbish" of this kind of education. After graduating from junior high school and junior high school, we throw away all our books, notes and dictionaries. We hate reading very much!

My first pot of gold was made by these people. I sold the books, notes and dictionaries they had thrown away, and made a fortune of fifty dollars! With this first bucket of gold, I invited my friends to dine out and celebrated the successful completion of the high school entrance examination. Some people still have 50 yuan left for a meal.

During the period of reading are doing knowledge memory, remember fast, forget fast, is to remember the test, the test will forget, I am no exception.

Now I'm revisiting my education journey along the way. Looking back at the knowledge, ideas, theories that you've learned, a lot of them are actually very useful, very practical for your life and work. Some small stories in Chinese textbooks contain the truth of life, some remarks in English textbooks and so on.

For example, "a good memory is not as good as writing" this sentence all the people who have gone to school should have heard, but graduated, this sentence will disappear like!

Assuming that we have been educated since childhood is not exam-oriented education, knowledge are doing physical memory, I believe that a lot of people now the fate will be better than now, but also can say some practical principles, and in many things can be implemented in place these principles. Such as integrity, punctuality, kindness, helpfulness, the body is the capital of the revolution and so on. Unfortunately, exam-oriented education has trained us to be honest, punctual, kind, keep fit and so on. Helping others is also far away from us. We are all worried about what will happen to others' racketeer.

Recall my attitude in such an educational environment, fortunately, there is a little different, although not top grades, also failed to enter a good university. But I graduated from middle school and high school without throwing away all the books like those students did. After graduating from middle school and high school, I sorted out all the important textbooks and books one by one and moved them back to my home for collection. I also made a list and attached it. A few years ago, I took these books out to bask in the sun during the Spring Festival to prevent them from being damaged by dampness. Although I can't remember how much knowledge is in these textbooks, I still cherish the books. For example, punctuality is a concept in my physical memory, so I have been urging myself to be punctual every day. I have never been late for work in the past year, and I can't believe it.

Looking back at this sentence "reading can change the fate", many people do not really understand what is the concept of "reading", think that the graduation of reading this thing is not related to their own. It is a pity that as life is still so long, opportunities to change one's fate are still available, but they are wasted.

I often remind myself: exercise more, read more, think more, practice more.
