Educating and encouraging the younger generation has always been a worldwide problem. On the occasion of the countdown to the 20 12 London Olympics 100 days, BOCOG released the slogan of the London Olympics: "inspire a generation". Sebastian coe, president of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, said: This is the spirit that London began to pursue when it applied for the Olympic Games, and it is the DNA of the London Olympic Games.

I have never doubted that British society attaches importance to youth education. On the contrary, their respect and tolerance for young individuals was unimaginable before I went abroad. But this is a seemingly loose society, with no street offices and no neighborhood committees. A law-abiding citizen can hardly feel the existence of the government except the annual tax bill. There is no unified textbook in primary and secondary schools, and the school board with parents' participation is the most binding to the principal's power, not the education bureau. Because of the lack of administrative participation, how will this slogan of "inspiring a generation" be embodied and implemented? After the slogan was published, a large number of suspicious comments on the Internet made me more suspicious.

While I was thinking, my 14-year-old daughter's middle school organized a camping activity and volunteered to participate. My daughter hesitated to sign up. I went to ask for details and learned that it was originally an adult activity, but starting this year, teenagers over 14 were allowed to participate. I asked casually, ah, is it because of the Olympic Games? The teacher who answered the phone said, maybe. The teacher also told me that the activities organized with the school are government-funded sports institutions, and professionals will come to the school for training in field survival. Sounds good, so with my strong encouragement, my daughter signed up. This camping stampede just ended last weekend. Daughter and teammates * * * received 10 training and participated in 4 activities. The girls all admit that although they are very tired, they feel the joy of participation, cooperation and sports, which is very worthwhile and will definitely participate in the future.

This is a small example from Britain, which is related to sports and embodies motivation. After careful calculation, excluding the organization funds, the actual cost of camping equipment paid by the government for each student is about 1 000 (RMB 1 000). You can get it if you participate. Not without participation. After use, you can return it to the school for preservation and reuse it next year. Is this activity based on community and grass-roots schools and open to all children more practical than slogans? This is an English-style, real, unobtrusive, ostentatious and unforced incentive.
