Should the proportion of English in Chinese education be reduced? Tang Jiafeng actually went on Phoenix TV to argue face-to-face with people about whether English should be downgraded to a minor subject. 中國教育里的英語比例應該要下降嗎？湯家鳳真去了鳳凰衛視，跟人當面掰扯英語該不該降成副科。
沒人敢接他的話茬。
節目上他把話撂那兒：
我不是讓英語滾蛋，是150分跟數學平起平坐，憑什麼？城裡娃有外教有培訓班，農村娃連個發音標準的老師都難找。
英語就是個工具，工具憑啥跟數理化搶命？再這麼卷下去，理化沒人學了，芯片誰造？
底下有數學圈的同行賊叉不服，說照你這邏輯數學也能降。可到了現場，沒人真站起來跟他硬碰硬。
看完就一個感覺：這年頭敢上電視把觀點亮出來挨罵的，比觀點本身稀罕多了。

No one dared to take him on.
On the program, he laid it out:
I’m not saying English should be kicked out. It’s that a 150-point score putting it on equal footing with math—why? City kids have foreign teachers and tutoring classes, while rural kids struggle to even find a teacher with standard pronunciation.
English is just a tool. Why should a tool compete with math, physics, and chemistry for priority? If this rat race continues, no one will study physics and chemistry. Who’s going to make chips?
A math-circle peer named Zeicha below wasn’t convinced, saying that by your logic, math could be downgraded too. But when it came to the scene, no one actually stood up to go head-to-head with him.
After watching, there’s just one feeling: these days, people who dare to go on TV and put their views out there to be criticized are far rarer than the views themselves.
