Winter and summer vacations are a long-awaited time for students to rest and relax and enjoy their free time. However, the fact that the students did not finish the year before the end of this year's winter break has caused discontent among them. However, in the face of students' dissatisfaction, the school chose to directly reply, which further aggravated the contradictions between the two sides. Jiangsu education has been accused of serious involution, and students have expressed strong dissatisfaction with the shortening of the winter vacation, while the school has justified the long summer vacation of students. In this context, let's take a look at the reasons for the shortening of students' winter vacation and the related impacts.
1. The phenomenon of involution education in schools is serious
Education in Jiangsu has always been regarded as one of the regions with a serious involution phenomenon, which also leads schools to pay more attention to academic tension and ignore students' rest needs when setting winter vacation time. Previously, some universities said that as long as they are Jiangsu candidates, they must work harder than other candidates. When Jiangsu students prepare for independent enrollment, the difficulty of the school's questions has always been very high, which brings a lot of learning pressure to students.
3. The school takes into account the overall winter and summer vacation time
The school explained that the total number of winter and summer vacation hours for students is relatively stable, and this year's summer vacation is two months long, so the winter vacation time has been shortened accordingly. The school believes that too long the summer vacation will crowd out the winter vacation, and the summer vacation is long, on the one hand, because the weather is hot and suitable for rest;On the other hand, it also gives students sufficient time to revise and improve their learning effect.
1. Parents express their understanding and support for the school's practices
The shortened winter break is a good thing for some parents. For dual-income families, it will be more convenient to arrange holiday classes and other aspects, and also reduce the burden of taking care of children. And considering the student's learning rhythm and the tight subject content, it is reasonable for the school to arrange a short winter vacation.
2. Students expressed dissatisfaction with the shortening of the winter vacation
Admittedly, the shortening of the winter break is undoubtedly not very pleasant news for students. Winter vacation is an important time for them to relax themselves, spend the Spring Festival with their families, and experience the warmth of reunion. And this year's poor winter vacation time is only a dozen days, which makes them feel very aggrieved, and they are dissatisfied with the school's approach.
1. Benefit: reduce the burden on families and improve learning results
For dual-income families, the shortening of winter vacation will reduce the time and cost of extracurricular classes for children, and improve the quality of life for families. In addition, the shortening of the winter vacation time allows students to maintain their learning status during the long vacation and avoid interruptions in the learning rhythm, thereby improving the learning effect.
2. Disadvantages: Depriving students of their right to rest and recreation
Students also have the right to enjoy their own vacation and relax. The shortening of winter break time can deprive them of rest and recreation, increase study stress, and even lead to mental and physical health problems.
The controversy over the shortening of the winter break is a contradiction between the length of the winter break and the needs of students. In order to closely arrange students' studies and ensure the consistency of the overall winter and summer vacations, the school shortens the winter vacation time for students. This can reduce the burden and improve the learning effect for some families. However, students are understandably unhappy about being deprived of their winter break, which is a time for them to rest and relax. Therefore, it is necessary for schools, parents and students to think and explore together on how to reasonably arrange the time of winter and summer vacations to meet the balance between students' learning needs and rest needs.
All in all, the shortened winter break has caused dissatisfaction among students, and the school's response has further deepened the conflict. The school's justification on the grounds of coordinating the overall winter and summer vacations was supported by some parents. However, students expressed dissatisfaction with the compression of winter vacation time. This issue involves the balance between students' learning needs and the right to rest, and requires the joint efforts of all parties to find the most reasonable solution. In the face of this controversy, we should also think deeply about the deep issues behind education, how to advocate the reasonable arrangement of students' winter and summer vacation time, and how to reduce students' learning pressure and anxiety, so that students can enjoy a more balanced and healthy study life. At the same time, in our own daily life, we should also learn to arrange our time reasonably, leave some space for ourselves to rest and relax, and maintain physical and mental health.
