The "Educational Machine" suffered a serious failure after its launch, and calls for refunds were heard all over the country.
The most fundamental reason was that this "Educational Machine" represented a conservative, outdated, stubborn, and backward educational philosophy that had not been eliminated from the minds of some education experts.
On the surface, they seemed to support and cater to new technologies, but in reality, they rejected and rejected new technologies.
In their hearts, they still stuck to their unchanging ways.
They were unwilling to give up their position as the leader of education to a small learning machine.
However, for most educators, how could they not hope that the next generation would become stronger and that Z country's future would become better and better? Most of them had the dream of becoming a powerful nation through education.
It was just that … the hindrance in terms of benefits was too great.
Hundreds of thousands of extracurricular tutoring institutions.
Teachers who earned 70% of their income from tutoring.
Publisher of tutoring materials, exercise books, and test papers.
… and so on.
There were simply too many forces whose interests had been seriously damaged or greatly damaged.
For example, except for dance, piano, art, calligraphy, and other training institutions that were not affected, the performance of training institutions that mainly taught mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and other subjects had declined by 30% in the past three months.
The more intelligent learning machines they sold, the more their sales fell. It could be said to be a precipitous decline.
It was estimated that within one to two years, the after-school training market would shrink by at least 60%.
Hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs and hundreds of billions of dollars in economic losses.
Who wouldn't struggle to the death when their interests were being harmed so greatly?
Hence, after Professor Tang returned, he indeed mobilized a considerable amount of "energy" to spread a large number of slanderous and critical voices in the media. Various education experts took turns to appear on the scene, severely criticizing the Little Star learning machine for destroying the fairness of education, preventing children from poor families from seeing a bright future, causing a large number of educators to lose their jobs, and so on.
It set off a huge wave of public opinion.
In the face of countless doubts and criticisms.
Xing Hai Technologies did not refute them one by one. It only posted a short statement on its official Weibo: "Maybe we can't change the current situation, but we can let you see the future."
However, experts from all walks of life criticized this sentence to pieces, declaring, "If fairness cannot be guaranteed, how can we talk about the future?", "We don't want such a future!", "What change the status quo? The current situation is the best situation! "
Driven by the huge profits, the combat power of various experts was off the charts, and they had the absolute upper hand in public opinion.
It even spurred a considerable number of parents to stand on their side and jointly request for the Little Star learning machine to be banned.
However, it was not that Xing Hai Technologies did not have vocal support and support.
The entire Z nation's technology circle was completely on Xing Hai Technologies' side.
Many famous scientists published blog posts in support of Xing Hai Technologies.
"Hehe, the atheism of the various education experts reminds me of the 'machine destruction movement' initiated by the craftsmen in the early industrial revolution. I didn't expect to hear similar voices in the 21st century. I hear ignorance, conservatism, selfishness, and voices that don't want to give up the benefits in their hands. It's quite interesting."
"Educational fairness has always been a false proposition! Even if the Little Star learning machine had not been launched, our education system was not necessarily fair. It was unfair for those who could afford to attend cram schools to be compared to those who could not afford to attend cram schools. Entering a good school, attending a good class, and listening to a good teacher's lessons was also unfair for those who entered a normal school, attended a normal class, and listened to a normal teacher's lessons! Those who keep talking about fairness are just unwilling to admit this fact! "
"We must not give up eating for fear of choking! The Little Star learning machine is our future. It represents that we have mastered knowledge and become the masters of knowledge. It indicates that our children are no longer passive recipients of knowledge. This tool allows us, even children with ordinary aptitudes, to have the possibility of solving complex and cutting-edge problems. This is because every child has a knowledge bank and a 'super brain.' As long as a child can use this tool well, they are all geniuses!
Don't feel that this is awkward, and don't reject tools! The human brain has been surpassed by the computer. It is very normal for the computer to be smarter than the human brain. The reason why humans are strong is that we are good at using tools. Needless to say, we have other areas that we are better at. The Little Star learning machine should be fully promoted! "
Other than the voices of the scientists, some parents also voiced their support for Xing Hai Technologies.
A representative parent said, "That's right.
"I heard some experts say that the Little Star learning machine destroys educational fairness. As parents, we actually have more say.
My family is poor. I am physically handicapped and cannot participate in the work force. My child's father has mild mental retardation and low education level. His monthly income is only about $1,000. Coupled with some government subsidies, we can barely make ends meet.
Fortunately, we have a healthy child who is also very smart. He can score more than 80 marks in every exam. My child's father and I are very pleased. We hope that he will have a bright future.
But after he entered high school, the child's learning progress obviously could not keep up.
We don't have the money to buy learning materials for him. He can only search for them at the waste collection station next to the school.
We don't have the money to enroll him in training classes that cost thousands or tens of thousands. He can only learn by himself.
We don't even have the tuition fees for the summer vacation. This caused him to be unable to participate in the summer classes. When the new semester starts, the teachers tacitly agree that all the students have supplementary lessons. A lot of knowledge is skipped and not taught. My child can't keep up.
Once, my child told me that he was the first in his class. He spent $40,000 to enroll in a math class and $20,000 to enroll in an English class. He said that he wanted to be the first in his class, but he couldn't do it.
I saw his inferiority complex and depression in his eyes. He can't catch up. No matter how hard he works, he can only hover around the thirtieth to the fortieth place in the class. Other children who are as smart as him enjoy much more educational resources than him.
In this competition, he lost at the starting line.
That was until I clenched my teeth and scraped together all my savings to buy a Little Star learning machine! My child confidently said that he is no longer afraid of those top students. In just two months, his academic results shot up from the 36th place in the class to the second place in the class … The class teacher and classmates all said that he plagiarized. I posted a video in the class chat group of my child holding the learning machine at three in the morning … All the voices of doubt disappeared.
Fairness?
I am very grateful that the education experts mentioned this term. I am grateful that they remembered us.
But for a family like mine, for my child, the Little Star learning machine is fairness. A fairness that we can bear even if we clench our teeth!
Please don't take away this fairness! "
Boom!
After this article was widely spread, the public opinion began to reverse.
The scientists in the scientific community also wrote a joint letter, "Support the Promotion of the Little Star Learning Machine", and sent it to the hands of the highest authorities.
…
15th of October.
Department Head Yuan personally led a team to Xing Hai Technologies. After a brief discussion between both parties, they came up with the final solution to the "Educational Machine Crisis."
The main points were the following:
1. All 10.2 million units of the first version of the "Educational Machine" will be scrapped and temporarily recycled.
2. Xing Hai Technologies will send out technicians to replace the operating system of these "Educational Machines" with the Little Star system and return them to the hands of the students. Xing Hai Technologies will be compensated with $300 for each replacement.
3. The Department of Education will launch in-depth cooperation with Xing Hai Technologies for the subsequent "Educational Machine 2.0". They will use the knowledge tree of the Little Star learning machine and add in the "All Questions and Answers" function. The "Question Assistance" function will not be castrated. The technical standards will be aligned with the Little Star learning machine.
4. In the future, the Department of Education and Xing Hai Technologies will each have 50% of the intelligent learning machine produced by the Great Wall Electronics OEM factory.
After the announcement of the solution, the emotions of the majority of students and parents quickly calmed down. They expressed their willingness to hand in the "Educational Machine" and let Xing Hai Technologies replace it with the "Little Star learning machine."
After the discussion.
Chen Jin asked curiously, "Department Head Yuan, where did that Expert Tang go? Why didn't he come with us this time?"
"Double theft. He privately accepted more than $80 million from others. More than half of the experts in the group of experts have also 'retired.' The higher-ups have said that if they don't change their minds, they will replace them. In the future, as long as they don't touch those sensitive things, your company's intelligent learning machine can be freely and boldly promoted."
Department Head Yuan shook his head.
