Chapter 196 The educational ills in North America and China are more serious than imagined
After hearing An Ran's words, everyone laughed.
Hong Tao slapped his thigh and said, "As long as we work hard, there will definitely be a day! Let the whole world be proud of learning Chinese and being able to study in China."
"And then, if I was in charge of education, I would have to set a high threshold for foreign students, and I would need geniuses to come. Any cat and dog that save me will come to China, which will make our hometown chaotic."
Everyone burst into laughter again. Hong Tao's thoughts were very simple, but they were also the thoughts of most people.
Just recruit some advanced international students who can really help China. There is no need to build a dormitory building for international students like now. Then recruit some people who are not indifferent to studying abroad, as if they are begging them.
If the student is the son of an African chief, it makes sense to invite him to study abroad. After all, his status in society is there. In the future, this international student who learned Chinese and returned to my country to inherit the position of chief will be of great benefit to our country.
The key is that in today's universities, people recruit all kinds of messy people, and the people have a lot of opinions on this.
Luo Jia believes that only three types of international students are enough.
The first is that there is a possibility in the future that genius who contributes to the development of China's scientific research.
Such international students are very precious and should do their best to strive for it. Even if they fight with developed countries, it is not an exaggeration to fight for it. After all, talent is the primary driving force for development and progress.
The second is the descendants of the elite, such as the president's son, the minister's daughter, etc.
This kind of political elite should also welcome them to study abroad, after all, this is a question of global influence.
The experience of the Qing Dynasty has long proved that closing the country is undesirable and the wave of globalization is unstoppable. Especially, my country, which has a large amount of export trade, should maintain a certain good relationship with the world.
Moreover, the Young and Dangerous movies have also taught us that there are three most important things to be ruthless, loyal, and brothers.
Any strong country needs to have friends and brothers in this world, and raise a few dog legs that specialize in biting people for themselves.
As for the third type, it can make money.
Studying abroad is also a business, and if you don’t make money, wouldn’t you be a fool?
When Luo Jia read history, he often read such content. A certain local king came to worship and picked a few bananas and grapefruits from his hometown, and then grabbed a few monkeys that had lost weight. He gave them to the emperor as local specialties. When the emperor was happy, he rewarded a large number of silk, satin, and gold and jewelry.
The emperor told the bare-butt king that you can come to the heavenly world to worship. I am very happy that you think that your hometown is poor and life is not easy. If you take these back, you will regard them as gifts from my heavenly world. In the future, our two countries will be friendly and win-win for cooperation.
Whenever I read these plots, Luo Jia really wants to spit on the emperor's face. No matter how poor the local king is, is it related to you? Do you need to be a good person?
In short, Luo Jia likes to read history, but he hates the plot of the swelling and fat man in the face. He believes that the biggest reason for the relationship between the two countries is interests.
In this world, there are people who are beheaded, but no one is doing business that is losing money.
Of course, you still have to give small favors, but the prerequisite is that you can get rewards from other aspects, such as when the United Nations votes, you vote for me, etc.
Anyway, Kaizi, who is willing to spend a lot of money to study abroad, should also accept it. The only problem is that you have to go back after you finish your studies, so don’t just stay away.
Luo Jia smiled and said, "Do you know smart medicines? They are Ritalin and Modafinil, drugs that can make people more focused after taking them."
Everyone was stunned and thought that Luo Jia's head was really unusual. He was talking about university and studying abroad, so why did he suddenly switch to pharmacology?
However, after all, everyone has been with Luo Jia for a long time and knows that he has the habit of thinking and doesn't care about it.
An Ran shrugged and said, "Why don't you know? When I was studying in Massachusetts, many of my classmates took this medicine. And I heard that the more Ivy League college, the more they use smart medicine, the better they use, let alone taking it every exam."
"Really or not?"
"And there are medicines that can make people smarter after taking them?"
Have you ever heard of Smart Medicine colleagues, and you are very surprised by this.
Luo Jia waved his hand, "It's not that it's really smarter, it's just that you're more focused. For example, after taking smart medicine, you sit at the table to study. Unconsciously, one hour and one hour passes. When you look out the window, it's already dark, but you have completed a whole few hours of study with concentration. This kind of learning efficiency is something you can't achieve in normal times."
"We are all people who have been to school, so we all know that the most difficult thing to study is to concentrate. Many students who are smarter than before have failed their exams are actually because of lack of concentration."
"After all, most people have little difference in IQ. No one is a fool. Why do some people have good grades and some have bad grades? After all, it is often caused by inattention."
Hong Tao took a breath, "I'll just go, I've been having trouble focusing since I was a child. If I had known this thing, I wouldn't have come to Fudan. Why didn't I go to Tsinghua University?"
"What are you thinking?" Luo Jia shook his head and said, "Smart medicine is a kind of controlled drug in our country. Even if you know it, you may not be able to get it. And what I want to talk about is not this problem at all."
Luo Jia looked up and asked An Ran, "Since you know Ritalin, have you ever eaten it?"
An Ran looked like he was drowned and said disdainfully: "Mr. Luo, you are a little scolding now. Am I the kind of person who needs to eat Ritalin?"
"Of course I know you are a genius, a double doctor from Massachusetts." Luo Jia said with a smile, "Let me say something differently. In your school, who can take Ritalin?"
An Ran thought seriously, "I remembered that when you say this, it's strange. Those who eat Ritalin in the school are all students of good backgrounds. Their parents are usually members of the alumni association and have a very social status in North America. No one touched that thing like me who studied abroad from China because they didn't need it."
Luo Jia nodded, "This is the problem I want to talk about. North American society looks very awesome, but in fact, the top and bottom are becoming increasingly disconnected."
"The children in the upper class know how important it is to study, so they send their children to expensive private schools from an early age, giving them the best conditions and the best resources, and even allowing them to take medicine to improve their academic performance."
"And the children of ordinary North Americans have been to public schools since childhood. The atmosphere in the school is very bad. If you don't study hard, your family won't care. They think it's good if they can do a job when they grow up."
"So there must be a large number of geniuses among An Ran's classmates, but there are still quite a few children from the elite class. In terms of IQ and talent, they are actually not qualified to enter Massachusetts."
"But they have good parents who enroll them in countless cram schools and use drugs that can focus on them. Coupled with their social connections, it has led to a very serious phenomenon in North America today, and the solidification of social classes."
"The doctor's child is still a doctor, and the lawyer's child is still a lawyer."
"Luo Jia just said that once we, a genius plan, were generally scared by famous North American schools. Why?"
"It is because they are very clear about the problems they are facing. The North American class has been solidified and geniuses from all over the world need to go to North America to make up for the lack of genius. Why are there so many Chinese and Indians in Silicon Valley?"
"It is because they can no longer educate enough scientific and technological workers and put themselves in mind. If the scientific and technological talents produced by North America are enough, how could there be so many Chinese with yellow skin every year?"
"The descendants of elites who rely on resources may not be real geniuses. The real genius must be like you. From China to unfamiliar North America, speaking unfamiliar languages, they can still get the first place in every subject."
"Now, since we started to win over global geniuses to Star University, which is equivalent to digging the ancestral graves of famous Ivy League schools, because we have a talented admission system and have nothing to do with the background of students. We are purely judging heroes by our IQ and grades."
Li Moran nodded slightly, "I understand that there are actually two types of elites in this world, one is made up of resources and connections, such as Principal Wang, and the other is born elite. It is obvious that the latter is more important than the former, because IQ is a real flaw."
Ji Ming said, "It's right. Not only North America, but when I was in Cambridge, I also discovered the same problem. Unfortunately, I am not Mr. Luo, so I have not thought about this matter to a deeper level and have never considered the social issues behind it."
Hong Tao muttered, "So, what we are doing is unprecedented. It is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. It's a pity that there are so many people on the Internet who criticize us. It's really hard to recognize Mount Tai."
Luo Jia disagreed and said, "This is normal, because there are also elites in our country. Many children seem to be talented, but in fact they are only trained because of the good educational environment and many resources. These students are very excellent, but they are not within our admission scope. Therefore, there will be many parents of the elite class, which feel wronged."
"In short, imperialism is not going to die. The more they feel fear, the more it means that we have taken the right path. I don't know what will happen next. Maybe our Star University has really made a big fuss."
After hearing Luo Jia's words, everyone burst into laughter. It was nothing to everyone's opinion. Not breaking this day was the biggest regret in this life.
Li Moran, who was thoughtful, thought for a while, "Has the phenomenon of class solidification in our country gradually formed?"
"This question is a good question." Luo Jia smiled bitterly, "Originally, we have the most fair and popular basic education system in the world."
"Please note that I am talking about the fairest and most popular, and I don't say that it is the best, because the fairer the basic education, the more unfair it is to geniuses."
"The reason why geniuses are geniuses is because they are different. You educate geniuses by educating ordinary students. This is obviously a problem."
"That's why we will develop a new set of elite genius education on public basic education, because I am afraid that the current education system will bring geniuses into ordinary people. Since it is destined to be unique, then he can only grow faster and more vigorously in a unique educational environment."
"This is like the principle of plant growth. Oranges grow in the south and tangerines grow in the north and tangerines grow in the desert. Phalaenopsis can only produce cactus."
Luo Jia looked around. Although the car was not a good occasion, since everyone wanted to listen so much, let's talk more. It has been half a year since Luo Jia closed her eyes and was full of education issues. He did think too much.
“In the past, our education system was indeed fair, why is it becoming unfair now?”
"Because we abandoned tradition and learned the so-called quality education in the West, and quality education is the culprit that differentiates students."
"No!" Hong Tao shouted with a surprised expression, "Don't education experts always say that quality education is good? We need to develop comprehensively in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor."
Luo Jia spread her arms and said, "Who should we tell me? Now the school only has five classes a week, and the school is over at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, leaving a lot of spare time for the students."
"Some students use their spare time to make up for their lessons, while others play casually during their spare time. When the college entrance examination is over, would you guess who has better grades?"
"In 1998, the proportion of rural students at Tsinghua University was 20.7%, which was already very low. After all, in my country, the agricultural population accounted for the majority."
