   教育の問題は本当に難しい問題であると考えております。私は大学簿記論の担当教員です。学生自身が、勉強しようという気を持っているのかどうか？単に、卒業できさえすれば、できるだけ楽なのがよいと思ってるのではないかというのでは、困ります。「ゼミ生や学生くんは単位などでピンチになると僕のところに来るからね、いつもはあまり喋らないのにね」と言われている先生方はいらっしゃっいますが、先生方に責任があるのに気づいてないんでしょうか。
   I think that there are a lot of problems on education. I am a professor in a university in Japan, teaching bookkeeping theory. Many students in my class do not study hard, I am wondering that the students themselves really want to learn or not, or just want to graduate and get that degrees. “A student did not attend my class and exam either, while came to my office ask me give him a good grade!” A colleague of mine said. To motivate students to learn is the responsibility of teachers only?

   I have a solution. Actually, there are probably dozens of solutions.

   Stimulate desire or Stimulate pain

   If kids don’t know how to do it, parents have to be able to help them.

   教育は学校の先生にまかせっきりの親がいますが、それはよくないです。親と先生が力を合わせて一緒に頑張る必要があると思います。
   Some parents only rely on schools to motivate their kids, this is not good. Parents should work with teachers to motivate kids together.

   Hi yangyangyang, I am glad to hear you got a solution. What do you mean “Stimulate pain”?

   In terms of instinct, everybody hates pain. So the attempt to overcome pain will definitely produce motivation.

   Hi AlbertWesker, I think “corporal punishment” is definitely wrong way to educate kids. However, like a country’s laws need enforcement. For some kids at some situation, education needs some enforcement as well. Thanks, I think this could be a very good topic; I plan to address this issue shortly.

    楼主很有见地,立志早的孩子,学习自觉性的确很高,但有兴趣的学习内容,更能刺激提高学习效率,这也是事实.
    我认为能把握住儿童与少年的生理和心理特点来进行个性化教育是现代家庭教育的关键.
    Very insightful opinion! A child, who has set up a big dream at early age, studies hard and learns actively. It is also true that to help children to get interested in learning will stimulate learning and improve efficiency.
    I think that parents get to know each child’s physiological and psychological characteristics; to perform a personalized education is the key to modern family education.

    cao xu 你好。我非常赞同您所说的个性化教育是家庭教育的关键。父母应该最了解自己的孩子。因材施教，是父母的重要课题。我想这是一个很好的话题。我们会在后续的文章中继续讨论这个问题。
    I totally agree with what you said, personalized education is the key to family education. Parents should know their children best. For personalized education, parents play an important role.
    I think this is a very good topic. We plan to write an article on this and continue to discuss on this issue.
