What do the children want?

December 10, 2023

Recently Taiwan’s “108 Curriculum” has become popular! What is "108 Curriculum"? "108 Curriculum" is a syllabus without "shame"! This is not that I said, but there is no "shame"! In fact, "shame" has been abolished in Curriculum 108! However, I wonder: Did the DPP think that "honesty and shame" is not important, so they deleted "honesty and shame"? It’s really difficult for people who don’t know “shame” and know the importance of “shame”! Thanks to "Teacher Ou" from Beiyi Nu High School, I give you a big thumbs up for your bravery!


Is "honesty" important? Confucius said: Clever words bring beauty, but no knidness! Are "shameless" and "glib words and tricks" the same thing? I feel that people who are usually "eloquent and charming" must be "shameless"! Why does "eloquent words and persuasion" come with "shamelessness"? Take a look at Taiwan’s politicians, have you seen them? To be "eloquent" means to speak "exaggeratedly", and when there is a conflict of "profits", to be "shameless" and change what you have said! Oops! Oops! Why am I talking about American politicians again? ! I am obviously talking about Taiwanese politicians! It turns out that "American politicians" and "Taiwanese politicians" are both "shameless"! "Shameless" doesn't need to be explained, so that we can more easily describe "American politicians" and "Taiwanese politicians". They don't speak Chinese well and they don't know how to handle it! Lest they kill...protect the girl "Teacher Ou" from the north! Shameless people can only "assassinate"! It's not an assassination with a knife or a gun, but a small operation behind the scenes as same send you to jail!


Confucius is really great! Confucius said: Clever words and beautiful words bring out unscrupulous! These people, who speak in a high-sounding, garish and eloquent way, usually have no "kindness"! What is "unscrupulous"? There is no "kindness, justice and morality"! See for yourselves whether American politicians and Taiwanese politicians really have no kindness, justice and morality? Why should classical Chinese be deleted from the "108 Curriculum"? The funniest joke I heard from the Ministry of Education: Children are not very receptive! What? Should our education be "highly receptive to children"? Then you don’t have to go to school! Ask the children to go to school every day to "play games"! Asking children to go to school every day to watch "YouTube" will definitely make the children clap their hands, and the children's acceptance will be 100%! I would like to ask Taiwan’s Ministry of Education: Why should children receive education? Let me ask Taiwan’s Ministry of Education officials again: Have you always been good students who have loved learning and made progress every day since you were a little kid? Are you taking courses that you are happy to study? Are all your classmates happy to accept the "syllabus"? "Education" is not about learning how to let children "enjoy learning" and "accept the curriculum"! "Education" is about cultivating children and letting them know what "squares, circles and rules" are! (2 Timothy 3:16) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: ~ Education is to teach children to learn "righteousness"! How can a child learn "righteousness" if he doesn't even understand "propriety, justice, integrity"? Our school motto used to be: courtesy, justice and integrity!


Just chatting with a friend! She said: A few days ago, the neighbor's children were making noise in the middle of the night. They are not the kind of children who are 5-6 years old. She said: His mother doesn’t even want to discipline him! My friend has no children. I said: American children are difficult to teach! Why do I say: American children are difficult to teach? Because the entire American education system is ruined! Maybe, other states are better, but basically New York’s education has collapsed! My two daughters went to kindergarten in NYC, and then went to elementary school in mainland China and Taiwan, because I know the education system here! Although they came back from middle school, I think it’s too early! American education may only be accepted by "universities" at present, but now universities also need to look at it, because American education only teaches "knowledge", which is what they call "science", and American education has no "moral education" at all. This is just like Taiwan now "The shameless education" that is about to begin is synchronized! Taiwan’s Ministry of Education is too in line with the United States in terms of education!


American parents cannot spank or scold their children! Basically, we often see many children acting up in shopping malls, and parents can only leave the mall by compromising with their children and buying things they want! Why are online stores so popular in the United States? Why would I bring my children back to mainland China and Taiwan for education? Not because of money! Because I think a child’s “character education” and “values” will affect the child’s whole life! If you ask me: How do I see the future of the United States? Like I keep saying: I don’t see a future for America! Just like I can't see a "forward-looking government official" in the United States, it's the same reason! A person's "pattern" and "personality traits" are definitely not developed overnight! Why do we need to implement 12 years of national education? If "education" is only about teaching "knowledge", we only need to: promote AI robots! Just like Americans can’t do arithmetic and carry a calculator with them everywhere! "Knowledge" can be supplemented completely as long as you have a mobile phone or computer! AI robots can store gigabytes of information, but a person's "character" and "personality traits" cannot be completed by "computers" and "mobile phones"!


I hope Taiwan’s Ministry of Education will really think about: What do our children spend 12 years learning? My kids have grown up already! Therefore, you cannot harm my children, but children are the future masters of the country! If Taiwan’s future children can only “play games” and “watch YouTube”, do you think these children have a future? Do you think this kind of country has a future? Whether you want to be Chinese or not is not the point! The "key point" is: children do not have to learn the "enjoyable knowledge" and "useful knowledge" they want to learn! Children's learning is: We must give children knowledge that can help them in the future, help them grow, and help them become independent! We need to help our children become "upright people"! It’s not about helping our children become “shameless” knowledge absorbing machines! A child's "character" is more important than a child's "knowledge"!
