1. Parents: To reduce the burden, we should reduce the difficulty of the exam, and do not think about difficult problems. Netizen support
In recent years, students' Xi burden has become heavier and heavier, which has attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. Although some measures have been taken to reduce the burden on students, they have had little effect. The reason for this, one parent pointed out the key: to reduce the burden should reduce the difficulty of the exam, not to think about difficult problems. The parents' remarks have been supported and recognized by many netizens. They believe that today's students are overburdened, and the key to reducing the burden is to make exams less difficult and make it easier for students to acquire knowledge and skills.
However, why are exam questions getting more and more difficult and the burden on students getting heavier?In fact, there are some practical reasons for this. First of all, the phenomenon of teaching materials and brushing questions is very common, and if the exam questions are too simple, it is difficult to distinguish the high and low level of students, which is not conducive to the selection of excellent students. Nowadays, it has become a secret for many teachers and parents to improve their students' grades. For this reason, a large number of teaching materials have been introduced on the market, and a variety of novel question types have emerged, and students have been forced to train repeatedly to cope with these unpredictable exam questions. As time passes, the difficulty of the questions naturally increases. In fact, the current examination is no longer purely to examine students' mastery of knowledge, but to pay more attention to classifying students according to different levels, so as to provide a reference basis for selecting talents.
Secondly, if the exam questions are too simple, it will lead to many people losing their jobs. At present, the prosperity and development of examinations directly or indirectly feed many education-related workers, including those in the education training and teaching support industries. Nowadays, the competition in the teaching and auxiliary market is fierce, and in order to obtain higher sales and profits, the producers of teaching and auxiliary materials are designing more and more difficult topics, and the titles of various famous teachers and experts have contributed to this trend. The rise of the education and training industry is also inseparable from this, and many parents have sent their children to various tutoring institutions because they are unable to help their children's homework. If the exam questions are too simple, it will lead to a significant drop in the demand for make-up classes, which will lead to a large number of teaching assistants and teaching and training personnel losing their jobs, which is a situation that the society does not want to see.
It is undeniable that the current exam questions have become too difficult to match the age characteristics of the students. For example, some students in the lower grades are often asked to learn Xi knowledge that does not correspond to their cognitive level. For example, many children struggle to learn concepts such as the meta-angle division of Xi in the first grade of primary school, but in fact, these knowledge will naturally be mastered in the second or third grade. Why not put this knowledge into the corresponding grade level to Xi?Teaching materials are too demanding on students' intelligence, which is also a problem in current education. Nowadays, students are unlikely to be able to make a breakthrough in exams without attending remedial Xi classes, because the exams often involve knowledge that goes beyond the scope of textbooks. The elementary school entrance examination of famous schools around the country basically tests the knowledge of junior high school, which makes each student join the army of supplementary classes in order to gain an advantage. It can be seen that the quantity and quality of make-up classes largely determine students' test scores.
Under the current education system, although everyone recognizes the problem of overburdened students, it is difficult to find a solution. With the development of science and technology and the progress of society, the demand for innovative talents is increasing, so the future examination will be more difficult, so as to facilitate the country's selection of talents. The desire to reduce the difficulty of exams and reduce the burden on students may be difficult to achieve. In this context, how should we respond?
Personally, I believe that reducing the burden on students should not be limited to reducing the difficulty of examinations, but should start more from many aspects such as the education system, teaching methods, and curriculum content. First, reform the education system to reduce excessive competitive pressure on students. Multiple assessments are used to examine students' comprehensive abilities and potentials, not just a single test score. Secondly, we should optimize teaching methods, pay attention to students' interests and develop good learning XiXi habits. By stimulating students' interest in learning Xi, guiding them to actively explore and learn Xi, and cultivating their creative thinking and problem-solving skills in practical operations. In addition, the course content is further optimized, and the knowledge points and teaching objectives are scientifically set according to the age and cognitive characteristics of students. Children should not be faced with difficult topics early, but should be guided to master the basic knowledge step by step, and then gradually go deeper.
In short, the overburden of students is indeed a serious problem, and the reduction of the burden needs to be comprehensively managed, and cannot be limited to reducing the difficulty of examinations. Schools, parents, teachers and others should work together to create a more relaxed, fun, and rewarding learning Xi environment, where students can develop fully while reducing their burden. Only in this way can we achieve real education reform.
