Some of the presidents in the universities are usually heard to say, “ I would like to treat those of my pupils as my own children.” His behavior is really something of strict and kind parents: those pupils of theirs are provided with sleep as long as eight hours, wanted to get up at six in the early morning and do physical exercises, and told not to stroll in the campus in slippers, etc.
I have been believing that the presidents in the universities are the farsighted decision-makers who can help guide learning and education, instead of those nurses who are in charge of trivial things such as homey meals making. Educators may say, “ I wouldn’t have had to coach those students like this in their life myself if they had learned self-control and self-descipline before being enrolled into the university ; our university tutors have to help teach them everything step by step because they are lacking in sufficient basic education.
It sounds reasonable, but isn’t it an endless vicious circle that those students did not learn self-control and self-discipline during their primary and high schooling period as long as twelve years just because they had been coached in such a “feeding” way and continued to be “nursed” after being enrolled into the universities? What do we expect our university education to be like? Will it result in that a student who is always following advice and rules should be taught out? or a student who makes decisions by himself in different cases should be taught out?
