Why have the juvenile classes and prodigy classes, which have attracted much attention, been cancelled?

China has attached importance to the development of education since ancient times. Since the time of Confucius, many excellent educational ideas and measures have been born. The most important thing is that all children should have the opportunity to receive education, and different educational methods should be formulated according to everyone's situation.

Therefore, special education methods such as "juvenile class" and "prodigy class" have appeared in China, which are specially used to train young people with good talent and far exceeding the IQ of their peers, that is, the so-called genius. At the beginning, this kind of education did cultivate a lot of excellent talents for our country and promoted the development of our country, but with the passage of time, its disadvantages were gradually exposed, and then it was directly cancelled.

First of all, specialized institutions with the purpose of cultivating talents have attracted much attention.

China is a country with a large population, so how to develop education is an important issue. Since the founding of New China, the development and construction of the motherland urgently need a large number of outstanding talents. To this end, the Chinese University of Science and Technology began to explore the special mode of "juvenile class".

At that time, because of the needs of the development of the motherland, these students who were selected into the "juvenile class" received extensive attention, and their aura was constantly enlarged, and they were regarded as the hope of the future by the society, so they were also placed high hopes.

At the beginning, the enrollment of "juvenile class" was to directly find gifted children of thirteen or fourteen years old across the country and then test them. Those who pass the exam can stay in the University of Science and Technology of China to continue their studies. For a time, this enrollment method attracted the attention of the whole society.

Indeed, the IQ of these children who have passed the exam far exceeds that of their peers. They have faster learning ability and acceptance ability. At the beginning, this model really played a very good role, giving their minds a place to play.

Indeed, many outstanding talents have been born. For example, Zhang Yaqin was the first student in HKUST Junior Class, and later became an IEEE academician with 1997, making him the youngest scientist to receive this honor. 1978 Luchang Qin, who entered the juvenile class, is a doctoral student at MIT, and his research achievements have been praised as one of the most outstanding achievements of that year.

Although the juvenile class has indeed trained these excellent talents, it also has great disadvantages. These so-called "prodigies" who have just entered the juvenile class are all only children, and their minds are not yet mature. In this way, when they receive a higher level of education, all kinds of misfortunes will occur, which is also an important reason for canceling juvenile classes.

Second, various pressures have caused many "prodigies" to end in misery.

No matter what era, their parents are most concerned about the development of their children. Many parents have repeatedly stressed the importance of learning when their children are still young, so that their children can live a good life and change their destiny in the future. Most parents don't want their children to be worse than others, hoping that they can win at the starting line.

In addition, the establishment of "juvenile classes" and "child prodigy classes" makes parents exert various pressures on their children, hoping that their children will be admitted to them and get the name of "genius" and "child prodigy", thus ignoring the concern and concern for their thoughts and inner world and only paying attention to their achievements. For a long time, many children suffered from mental illness, which ruined their lives.

There have been many unfortunate examples since the juvenile class was opened. For example, a gifted scholar named Ningbo, who was very clever when he was a child, once played chess with the Deputy Prime Minister. He is also very happy to learn that he has been selected into the juvenile class. After all, he is still a child and has been crowned as a "child prodigy".

Because Ningbo loves astronomy very much since childhood, it also has a high talent in this respect. After entering the juvenile class, Ningbo wanted to find its own way in the field of astronomy. Unfortunately, there was no astronomy in the juvenile class, so Ningbo had to obey the arrangement and start learning physics knowledge.

But Ningbo didn't like physics at all, and his grades naturally plummeted. He also communicated with others, but they didn't solve it well. In the face of Ningbo's performance, many people around him began to doubt him, and then he was sent abroad to take IELTS, TOEFL and other exams, but he failed to get good grades. Ningbo also became seriously lack of confidence in itself, lost interest in learning knowledge, and finally chose to convert to Buddhism.

There is also a talented boy named Xie Yanbo who entered the juvenile class at the age of 1 1. He only knows how to study. Over time, he became a robot that only knew how to learn. Even when he was young, he began to study for a doctorate. He is indeed a "child prodigy", but he doesn't even know the most basic social skills, and he has become a person with serious defects.

In the end, many efforts of academic research came to nothing. I suffered from mental illness and lived a life far away from people and society. This result is really regrettable. After so many unfortunate events, it also led to the final cancellation of the juvenile class.

conclusion

Education has always been the most important research topic in human development. Education is one of the means to inherit human civilization, and it is also the source of continuous development and vitality of human society. Therefore, the importance of education to human beings is constantly being explored in this field.

At that time, the high-profile "juvenile class" was an attempt in the field of education, but in the end it led to the decline of many gifted and promising children, which made them experience great mental pressure. In my opinion, the starting point of juvenile classes is good, training outstanding talents for national construction and promoting the development of the country and society.

However, the failure to coordinate knowledge education with psychological education eventually made the juvenile class a way of education, which led to the withering of so many talents and the cancellation of the juvenile class, which really deserves our reflection.

Nowadays, the rapidly developing society still needs talents in all fields, and the educational ideas and methods also need to change and innovate with the times. However, when each new model appears, it has to go through a lot of consideration and research, and those prodigy examples that are no longer in history are our best lessons.
