Feeling as a college graduate

Seeing the comments below, some people said from the teacher's standpoint that teachers should not preach. I find it difficult to understand and totally oppose it.
Is education the education of teachers or the education of students? I think education is for students, so students should have more say on this issue, especially those who have experienced China’s streamlined education system.

What should education be like?
I think it should be like John keating in the movie.

A few days ago, I had talked with a friend who had just returned from the United States and studied two masters in the United States. The undergraduate was a friend of Peking University. I asked her: What is the difference between Chinese education and American education? She said that Chinese education only emphasizes the transfer of skills and knowledge, while American education pays more attention to cultivating students' comprehensive abilities such as psychology and communication. From a very early time, they emphasized that students should have a clear development direction and determine themselves. Where should we work? This has created a situation: American college students, regardless of their academic performance, have a clear goal in life after graduation, and know what they are suitable for and what they can do. What about Chinese students? University majors are not necessarily what I like. After graduation, I don’t know what I can do, what my life development direction is, and what my career plan is. After finding some work, skipping a few slots, and hitting walls a few times, did I understand what I should do. But it's almost 30.

What is the cause of this? In my opinion, it is China's education that prevents students from having the right to plan their lives since they were young, or they have developed the sad habit of letting teachers or parents take control of major issues. And what the teacher really should teach is this way: to cultivate a student's independent personality. John keating in the play tells students to have the courage to try, to make breakthroughs, to have their own ideas, and to develop their own hobbies. These are exactly what the students lack. Who can say that this is a wrong outlook on life? Is it mediocre that everyone is right?

Regarding the shortcomings of the Chinese education system, I think everyone is well aware, but how to solve them is also a problem for the country. However, I firmly believe that teachers like John Keating are truly good and respectable teachers.

    The captain sails to the lost, the lonely soul to the death. The romantics confront each other in four directions, but they do not understand the Corolla Pipe, the revolver they lay on the ground with a thin strand of tobacco.

    Do not follow the rules, grow wantonly, indulge life, and do your best for what you love. All these things are exciting to say, but not easy to do. You can believe in idealism without reservation, but most people can't escape the realism of reality after all. But no matter what, we will be moved by it, this time, with warm encouragement.
