Listen To The Voice Out Of The Window: Go Back To The Origin Of Education

This process must combine the function of school, society, nature and family together. However, in reality, we only attach importance to the formal education in schools, ignoring the real world interaction; only attach importance to the vertical connections, ignoring the horizontal communication of the real world, which lead to the several alienations of the education, such as natural alienation, social education, family education and human self-alienation."Learning to Care---21 Century Education"mentions:"To form the practical requirements to learning, the education system should be different from the present model. The importance may be that community should be more involved in schools and schools become more involved in society".
