19. Mom, I'm going to the moon

"Mom, I'm going to the moon." A primary school student said to his mother. What was your reaction? Nonsense? Wonderful? Mentality? It's over. The child's imagination hurts in your inadvertent answer. Please listen to the American mother's answer: "Child, go. But don't forget to go home for supper." Having affirmed the child's imagination, did you hear a kind of cuteness?

Many years later, this child grew up and became an astronaut and was the first to land on the moon. If he didn't say his name, he must have known it. He was Armgastrang who had dreams since he was a child. As long as he gave his children space to imagine, the children could create a new world.

The International Assessment Organization of Education Progress conducted a survey of 21 countries around the world, which shows that Chinese children rank first in the world in computing power, but creativity ranks fifth from the bottom. Family education, exam-oriented education, and various off-campus training classes have pushed children into the fast lane of scores, only scores are the only way to raise the questions. The tactics of the sea of ​​questions seized the children's extracurricular reading time and play time, and squeezed out the space for children to cultivate imagination and curiosity about nature. They only read exam-oriented books and turn a blind eye to foreign affairs. Science fiction novels, fairy tales, poetry and other books that can cultivate children's imagination well have no time to care about, and literary books that can cultivate children's humanistic care are not afraid to be cared for. Children's games are full of infinite imagination and creativity, and they almost become a luxury in the face of the trend of going to school. Creativity comes from imagination. Without imagination, how can creativity come from creativity?

"Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination almost summarizes everything in this world. It promotes technological progress, and it is even the source of knowledge." - Einstein
