Wisdom of Education

At the parent meeting, the teacher did these four questions on the blackboard:

2 + 2 = 4

4 + 4 = 8

8 + 8 = 16

9 + 9 = 20

Parents said: "You miscalculated."

The teacher turned around and said slowly: "Yes, everyone sees clearly, this question is wrong. But I have counted three questions correctly, why no one praised me, but just saw me The wrong one! "

The teacher then said meaningfully: "Parents, the true meaning of education is not to discover the mistakes of children, but to appreciate what they did right."

Comprehension:

The same is true of being a human. You treat him/her nicely for a hundred times, maybe he/she has forgotten; once he/she is unsatisfactory, he/she may obliterate everything!

This is the humanity principle of 100-1 = 0.

This is true between friends, as well as between relatives and families.

This topic is mentioned today in order to make friendship last forever and affection forever.

Take a step back among friends, and make a step higher among loved ones.

Thanks to the grace of dripping water, one should return a fountain of water.

This is the truth of life.

This is true for children, as well as adults.

      As for the potential of neogeography, online interactive maps assists to extend information rapidly and straightforwardly. User-created maps are well-organized methods of assigning important information to people who dislike a paper maps. Moreover, neogeography lets us share our individual analysis of the same geographical area. The individualized maps also add a social understanding of the vicinity. However, this extensive data source holds some risks according to how the data is explained and applied. 

      Because these types of maps can be edited with no trouble and they look proficient, they may endow with misinformation. People would be misinformed into trusting the wrong data. Furthermore, the fact that the advanced programming does all of the thinking for the users may lead to a dilapidation in users’ investigative skills. Another drawback of neogeography is a threat to privacy and security. Neogeography allows for an exchange of personal information among the crowd, such as sexual orientation and political alliance. This implies that people can be targeted for crimes. Last but not least, if we over-rely on online maps, we may get lost if the area does not have internet access on the way of our trips. Therefore, paper maps are still worthwhile and reliable to be used in addition to google or yahoo maps.
