Is it okay for education to continue like this?This is a thought-provoking question. In recent years, the involution of education has become increasingly intensified, and the learning burden of high school students has become heavier and heavier, the study pressure has become more and more intense, the study time has become longer and longer, and the rest time has become shorter and shorter. This situation is worrying for many parents, especially when it comes to their children's physical and mental health. Long-term, high-intensity, and high-pressure study will not only make students mentally tired, but also lead to problems such as decreased physical fitness, increased myopia rate, and an increase in depression patients. In the face of this problem, we need to rethink the concept of education and the education system in order to create a healthier learning environment for children.
(1) The question of educational concept: the pursuit of diploma or the pursuit of knowledge
In today's society, parents attach great importance to their children's education, but this attention is not based on the pursuit of knowledge, but in the hope that their children will get a diploma, enter a better school or get a better job. Under the influence of this perception, parents pay too much attention and interfere in their children's learning, hoping to push them to achieve better grades by increasing their children's stress. At the same time, in order to cope with the pressure of parents, school teachers have to increase the requirements of students and increase the learning burden of students. This educational concept of pursuing results rather than processes leads students to fall into a long-term and high-intensity learning state, and have to sacrifice their rest time and physical and mental health.
In addition, parents' educational concepts also have a certain impact on their children's future career choices. Parents often want their children to choose a profession with a high degree of social recognition and high income, such as doctors, lawyers, etc., so they will increase investment and pressure in learning. However, this single concept of career choice, ignoring each child's interests and aspirations, may lead to limited self-development and even school boredom. Therefore, parents need to re-examine their own educational concepts, give their children more freedom and support, and encourage them to learn and develop in-depth on the basis of their interests.
(2) Problems of the education system: the disadvantages of examination-oriented education
The current education system pays too much attention to the cultivation of students' test-taking ability, and school education emphasizes the inculcation of knowledge and the cultivation of test-taking skills, while ignoring the all-round development of students and the cultivation of interests. As a result, students are overwhelmed by a large number of assignments and exams, and their breaks are constantly squeezed. The excessive study burden of high school students has become a problem that has to be paid attention to, and if it cannot be solved in a timely and effective manner, then the physical and mental health and all-round development of high school students will inevitably be damaged.
In addition to the problem of learning burden, there are other drawbacks to the education system. For example, some schools and teachers tend to teach students by rote memorization and mechanical indoctrination, and lack methods to stimulate students' interest in learning, resulting in a lack of students' ability to understand and apply knowledge. In addition, the curriculum also has limitations, with too much emphasis on test-taking subjects and neglect non-test-taking subjects and the cultivation of students' practical skills.
(3) Seek the direction of educational reform
In order to solve the problem of high school students' excessive learning burden, we need to reform the concept of education and the education system.
First of all, parents need to change their educational mindset and shift the focus from test scores to their children's all-round development and interest development. Parents can actively participate in their children's activities and cultivate their interest and practical ability through various ways, such as carrying out extracurricular interest activities, visiting and practice.
Second, the education system needs to be reformed to reduce the learning burden on students and improve the quality of education. Knowledge indoctrination in the classroom can be moderately reduced, and students can be encouraged to learn and think independently. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the training and evaluation of non-test-taking subjects to provide more space for students to develop.
Expanding education reform is a complex and long-term task that requires the joint efforts of the whole society. **Policies are needed to ensure that education reforms can be effectively promoted and implemented. At the same time, schools and teachers also need to actively change their education and teaching methods, pay attention to the all-round development and interest cultivation of students, and create a healthier and positive learning environment for them.
As an editor, I also have some personal thoughts and insights on this issue. First of all, I believe that the purpose of education should be to develop students' all-round ability, not just test-taking ability. Studying is for the long-term development of life, not just for the sake of preparing for exams. Therefore, the education system should focus on cultivating students' creativity, thinking ability and practical ability.
Secondly, students should not be burdened by excessive study pressure in the process of learning, and should have enough time and space to develop other hobbies, participate in sports activities and social practice. This will not only help them develop physically and mentally, but also help them develop their comprehensive quality and social skills.
Finally, education is not only the responsibility of the school, but also the family and society. Parents should change their concept of education, give their children more care and support, and help them establish correct learning attitudes and values. Society should also provide more resources and opportunities to provide students with diversified learning and development space, and encourage them to understand the world from multiple perspectives and in an all-round way.
In conclusion, the purpose of education is to develop students' abilities and qualities for all-round development, not just to pursue high grades. The education system needs to be freed from exam-oriented education and focus on the cultivation of students' practical ability and creativity. Parents need to change their concept of education and give their children full care and support. Society should also provide more resources and opportunities to create a healthier and more positive learning environment for students. Only in this way can education truly serve the development of students and the progress of society.
