WHAT IS WRONG WITH EDUCATION?

  New Roman" size=4>  What a sad  thing it is to know from Kathy's blog that our generation won't be able see the day when Chinese education can compete with that of the developed countries. As a teacher of China, it is the saddest thing.

    There are a lot of serious problems with the current education system. The Chinese government is well aware of that. I don't know for what reason it fails to change it. I also have to admit that the present education system is the most fair and square thing in China, and it is conducive to all the people, especially the destitude. For those impoverished people in China, to enable finanically their kids to enter univerisity is the only and the most heroic feit for them to accomplish in their life. Entering a university, especially a decent one will provide them with a bright prospect of obtaining a decent job, which in their minds will ensure the life of their kids, though many of them fail to get that the job they are so desirous of even after a college education.

    The children are under severe burden and pressure that people from other countries will only find it unimaginable, so are the Chinese teachers. I am a teacher and so I have been endowed with the deplorable opportunity to witness all of that. My wife and I are both middle school teachers, and both of us are suffering from heart attack due to the high pressure at school, which can bear evidence to the fact that we are both extremely diligent teachers. We have no time to take care of our own children, because we have to take care of the children of others, and we are forced or obliged to do so. I think we have been inhumanly mistreated.

    What the present education renders are only a lot of mentaly deranged teachers and mentaly and bodily impaired students. According to my knowledge, most of the teachers in china have some psychological problems and many of them are so severe. We have no rights to give vent to some of our pentup feelings. They are like a tumour, eroding our health and rendering us incapable workers for under our influence, a lot of the students are suffering from the same problems.

    I am a teacher, but I just can't like the present system, which renders me an incapacitated worker.

    What is more, the social position of all the teachers  in china, according to what the leader in the educational committee in our city claims, has been the lowest in china since the building of the Minguo.
