The wind of the times is blowing strongly, and we who stand in it also need to be farsighted! A great feature of Chinese-style education is general education anxiety. The advent of children's programming has caused many parents to become anxious again. They want their children to "run the present and win in the future" on the children's programming track. Once the parents are anxious, the children will also be anxious. It is difficult to cultivate excellent children in an anxious environment.
For children's programming or other new things, it is recommended that you look at it with an open and inclusive mind and learn with curiosity instead of being "forced" by education anxiety. Artificial intelligence changes the world, I hope we can change with the children~
