This year, Beijing Science entrance into double Masters champion Li Taibo. In addition to champion status, he applied for a U.S. top 11 universities all rejected. Then drew the media's rush of "reflection", said the examination-oriented education and training outstanding talents not. Occupational status were the top students while the investigation report, said the Scholar over the past three decades have performed below expectations, no one in their field to "first class."
I do not agree to American University to judge whether an individual choice is not talent. I also considered how many people in America to come. A well-known Ivy League Professor frankly told me: "taking the big blind. Often recruited the wrong students. In particular, Chinese students enrolled across the Pacific, more difficult to judge. Can only do what, and finally depends on luck. "The so-called champion the past three decades no one to become" first class "but said, has yet to be refined. Such as "first class" criteria? Do not have a definition. I know very well on the first "top students."
However, Li Taibo's case, really help us to reflect on China's education system. Tony Wagner of Harvard University educators have very vivid section about his personal experience. In 2006, he went out speech, and one on the plane just as the neighbor large corporations. Both a chat, he found that the president personally involved in the recruitment of talent, spent a lot of energy. So he asked President: "the recruitment of employees from the new body, the quality you most desire is that?" The other replied: "the issue will say hello. Our business is changing every day, technology is continually updated. We will teach employees new technologies. However, they order to solve problems, learn new things, have to know what should be asked. We can not teach them how to ask questions now. "
"So, what other qualities are what you need it?"
"I need people who can participate in the discussions." President further explained that "any work is done by the team match. You must know how to get along with my colleagues, how to deal with customers. If you can not, and others in-depth exchanges on your can not learn what you need to learn. "
This dialogue can be described as meaningful for educators. I am not saying all companies regard the above two qualities, president came in the first second. However, the quality of these two important, Zai United States has repeatedly emphasized by various business people, is the real world right personnel training requirements proposed by the real's. Look at our education, how many turn it around so the quality?
Li Taibo voted top 11 U.S. universities, the problem may be his personal qualities, may apply for technical issues, there may be a collective look at the U.S. universities have missed the problem. This is difficult to determine. However, to his regret and grievances of the people say: his grades were excellent, the piano very high level, like the composer, is the class cadres and so on. These of course are good. However, his ability to ask questions? The ability to discuss issues in depth? We do not know, we did not measure the quality of education indicators. This is the most worrying.
