The result of the education mode depends not only on the characteristics of “rigid education” or “flexible education” itself, but also on the coupling of education subsystems with the general social environment. Education development towards flexible education not only refers to the tilting from “rigid education” towards “flexible education”, but also empha-sizes the process of education adopting a complying and catering “flexible education” mode (in stead of adopting a “rigid education” mode for guiding or rescuing) in an era dominated by “flexible” culture. Education development towards flexible education embodies in various aspects such as educational value becoming “consumable educa-tion”, educational environment becoming a “greenhouse environment”, educational means becoming “handy”, and teacher occupation becoming “feminized”; all these changes will produce negative effects on students’ constitution and health.
