On December 16, a missing person notice caused widespread discussion on the Internet. Yang Chenzhao, a 10-year-old boy, did not return home after leaving class at 4:30 p.m., and his parents became worried and launched a search. Even the residents of the community and rescue teams joined the search operation. The cold temperatures and the psychological stress of the children made this incident a lot of attention. Eventually, the little boy was found the next morning, and he chose to hide from his parents in the bitter cold, prompting reflections on education and family pressures.
The boy's mother said that because her child did well in Xi, she enrolled him in some Xi classes. This phenomenon can be called the phenomenon of "Jackie Chan", and parents hope to cultivate the all-round development of their children by enrolling in classes. However, such practices may cause excessive academic pressure on children, causing them to be reluctant to go home or even to avoid them.
Parents should recognize that every child has their own characteristics and needs, and not all children need too many extracurricular classes. Excessive class attendance can deprive children of time for rest and independent development, placing a heavy burden on them. Parents should guide their children in moderation, allow time for them to engage in independent activities, relax and develop their hobbies and creativity.
Every child has their own personality and talents, but China's education system tends to place too much emphasis on standardized assessments and a competitive Xi environment, putting students under tremendous pressure. Faced with this situation, some children may choose to run away or rebel.
Education should focus on individual differences, respect children's interests and strengths, and provide them with diverse learning and Xi opportunities and development space. Educators should focus on children's physical and mental health, cultivate their creativity and comprehensive literacy, and not just pursue grades and rankings.
Children are the future of society, and they need to be loved and respected, not surrounded by excessive expectations and pressure. Parents and educators should reflect on the problems existing in the current education system and give children more freedom and a balanced environment for growth. Only in this way will we be able to keep children light, maintain a positive mindset and a healthy physical and mental state, and lay a strong foundation for their future.
