Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 153 Zhou Yang Gets Beaten Up by His Parents (a Double Beating)?
Zhou Yang.

He then continued speaking.

"Last summer vacation."

"Something happened that left me speechless..."

"It was during summer vacation at the time. Since the first semester of each school year is usually relatively easy, there shouldn't be much summer homework, and it should be easy to finish."

“My dad thinks that I study and my mom work too hard, and our whole family is very tired, so we want to take advantage of the summer vacation to travel and relax.”

"So he told me to finish my homework a month before summer vacation, so that I could have time to go out and have fun for the rest of the month."

After hearing this, everyone nodded.

Summer vacation is indeed a great time for the whole family to travel. For many families, this is the only time they can take their children out to relax.

So this is quite common.

But next.

Zhou Yang asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"My parents worked overtime for several weeks in a row to prepare for this trip."

"Because they are also long-term employees, they can free up their vacation time by working overtime and take a long vacation of more than ten days at a time."

"But when they finished work, brought home my favorite roast duck, and saw what I was doing..."

"But suddenly, in a fit of rage, he threw the roast duck at me and roared at me..."

Didn't I tell you to hurry up and do your homework?

"Why are you still folding paper airplanes?!"

At this moment, Zhou Yang's eyes were filled with memories, and his expression was extremely aggrieved.

Everyone was deeply moved, as if they were witnessing Zhou Yang being yelled at and scolded by his parents, a heartbreaking and distressing scene.

But right away.

Zhou Yang chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"I almost got a double beating from my parents."

"Luckily, I explained quickly enough... After I finished explaining, they were all dumbfounded."

"Because the various paper airplanes I folded were school assignments, related to aerodynamics."

Hearing Zhou Yang's words.

Everyone was stunned.

What's the assignment about aerodynamics?

Aerodynamics is something everyone has heard of. After all, the aviation industry is one of China's proudest and most advanced sectors, and there is popular science information about it for people of all ages.

but.

Shouldn't this just be something that's popularized through science?
After all, this stuff is so advanced. Let alone a junior high school student, even a college student wouldn't dare say they understand the relevant knowledge of this industry.

What’s even more outrageous is…

We have to hold a special class and assign summer homework. Isn't this just making things difficult for the kids?
Can you understand the relevant knowledge inside?
However, upon further reflection, everyone realized...

The current teaching methods seem to be forcing growth in this way.

For children of this age, language arts instruction should focus on basic reading, writing, and communication skills.

However, it turned into rote memorization of classical Chinese texts and various serious literary works.

Mathematics should develop basic calculation skills and mathematical logical thinking.

The result was that students memorized various formulas, learned various math Olympiad knowledge, and participated in various math competitions.

These are the things we learn in elementary and middle school.

University has become a place to just drift through life?
"That's really going too far!"

"I looked through my child's textbooks, and now in primary and secondary school, they're already teaching basic calculus formulas! That's outrageous!"

"And there's something even more outrageous: they learn about all sorts of astronomical phenomena and ask whether the celestial bodies involved are nebulae, galaxies, black holes, or sunspots..." "Honestly, this knowledge is just too complicated. Even I, a college student, don't know much about it. I think what children should learn are more basic common sense, rather than profound theories."

"Yes, the foundation hasn't even been laid yet, and they're already thinking about building a skyscraper. Isn't that ruining the foundation of a child?"

“I asked my child where all his time went. All he does every day is read and write essays. When I ask him what he has learned, he can’t say anything. He can’t even do basic arithmetic. This is because he has learned a lot, but not a lot. Too many useless courses and useless knowledge are taking up his time!”

……

Zhou Yang's words.

This instantly resonated with parents.

Children may not know this, but many parents do understand that many courses are simply useless.

because.

It's not about learning as much as possible; the primary and secondary school years are a foundation-building stage.

We must lay a solid foundation in all disciplines and establish a basic understanding of the world.

among them.

Most importantly, we need to let them feel the joy of the learning process and the beauty of life.

but……

The current education system, however, crams a lot of information onto them without considering whether they can digest and absorb it all.

They occupy all of their time, leaving them with no life of their own.

Therefore, more and more children want to escape the real world. They want to find themselves in the internet, in novels, and in games.

Therefore, students today often experience psychological problems due to the accumulated pressure, and some even commit suicide by jumping off buildings.

This is not a forced association.

Rather, they are actually intricately connected!

"This can't go on like this!"

"We have to take this seriously. We used to think some kids were just being dramatic. But now we see more and more children developing mental health issues and exhibiting extreme behaviors. We really need to care about our children's well-being!"

"These useless courses and age-inappropriate content must be removed! The academic burden must be reduced!"

"Reducing the burden, reducing the burden, how many years have we been talking about it? It's useless, no one can solve this problem, that's just how helpless reality is, sigh."

"No matter what, I think parents also need to reflect. Why didn't we try to understand when our children said they couldn't keep up with their studies? Instead, we just blamed them for not trying hard enough and not being attentive enough."

"That's so true! My daughter cries every day, saying there's too much to learn and she can't keep up. I used to hit her and call her stupid every day, but I really regret it now!"

"..."

After listening to Zhou Yang's words.

Many people also noticed something was wrong and began to speak their minds.

It might be an accident if only one person says so. After all, everyone's situation is different; some children may indeed be a little slower and unable to learn.

But most people say that it's impossible for everyone's children to be stupid, right?
There's only one possibility: there's definitely something wrong with this.

Zhou Yang.

They continued talking.

His every gesture exudes the air of a master.

"There is another phenomenon."

"I really don't understand!"

"I really like biology class because I enjoy studying physiology. But I don't understand why we have to learn the material for the third year of junior high in the second year of junior high."

"In the second year of junior high, our biology class was very rushed, with almost one chapter covered in one class. Then, in the third year of junior high, we only had one biology class a week!"

Hearing Zhou Yang's question.

Many were stunned.
