我體驗過的教育-臉書感想轉貼-

It saddens me to read the news about a Taiwanese student protester who committed suicide this morning. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/…/student-prote…/2018860.html
看到曾抗議課綱微調的台灣學生今早自殺的新聞讓我難過

Whether he wanted to become a martyr on his birthday or he just couldn't take it anymore due to unbearable depression, I was "impressed" by the immediate presumption, "His suicidal decision should have nothing to do with the protest", released by the chief of the Education Department (of New Taipei City Government) right after his death.

無論他是想在生日當烈士 或因無法承受的低潮而輕生 教育部準次長立馬發表"應與反課綱無關"的推論與邏輯 著實讓我嘖嘖稱奇

Is there anything wrong in our educational system? Please allow me to share some personal experience,
我們的教育系統到底有沒有問題呢? 請容我分享個人經驗:

1. After PRC(the government in China) had ruled the mainland China for over 50 years, my history and geography textbooks still taught us that mainland China belongs to ROC(the government in Taiwan). I only learned that Mongolia was not part of China after a conversation with a Chinese student during a visit in the mainland in 99.
在中華人民共和國與中華民國分別統治中國本土與台灣島半世紀後 我的歷史與地理課本仍然強辯我國領土包含中國大陸. 第一次認識蒙古獨立 是於1999年訪大陸時受對岸學生教導才知道的

2. My very first Taiwan-focused(titled) history class came to me as an optional credit when I was in college.
我第一堂以台灣為中心(為標題)的歷史課是大學的選修學分

3. After having access to online information written in a few languages, I finally knew that the ROC didn't quit its position from the UN, and it was actually that the ROC was expelled by the UN.
在會使用不同語言閱讀網路資料後才知道 原來中華民國不是退出聯合國 而是被踢出聯合國

4. Learning it's OK to have "Double Standard". My history book told me how horrible the massacre was during Jun 4th Incident (Tien-An-Men Square) done by PRC, but the same history book did not want to give us details of how ROC came to murder (and kidnap) its own people.
學會容忍並使用"雙重標準" 我的歷史課本提到64天安門事件中國共產黨對於人民的殘酷屠殺 可是同樣的課本卻不願意更深入告訴我們228事件中華民國政府是如何綁架與謀殺人民

Accepting Double Standard is the worst! If there is a problem calling Mandarin (pronunciation) as Chinese (language), there should also be a problem calling the dialect Hō-ló-oē(Minnan or Hokkien) as Taiwanese since there are other non related dialects widely spoken in Taiwan.
雙重標準是最糟糕的! 如果稱曼德林(發音方式)為國語的邏輯有問題 那麼稱福佬話(閩南話或福建話)為台灣話的邏輯也有問題(台灣還有很多人使用其它方言)

I had a feeling that our government, all my teachers, and all the grown ups knew what I learned from school was not always true. We'd tolerated it for so long because of the fear for lives or the fear for failing the school system(Any updated information could turn into more study for exams). For decades, having high scores at school is equal to a bright future.
我總覺得政府 老師們 與所有長輩都知道學校教的不一定是真的 但幾十年來我們無論是貪生怕死 或是對聯考過度依賴(自以為會考試等於爽人生 害怕任何"更新"可能造成讀不完而考試失利) 於是縱容政府或甚至陪著政府一起睜眼說瞎話

For this generation of students who have witnessed that our educated lies and selective memory didn't bring us better lives, of course they would like to try to finally learn the truth?
這世代的學生們見證了我們一直沒以"教育體制的謊言"與"選擇性記憶"作答而換來更好的人生 他們當然會有給"學習真相"機會的想法?

Why not?
為何不好?
