Sophomores get up early to lead their parents to reflect on whether the education method is appropriate
Year 2 students wake up at 5:40 a.m., and the souls of the parents of the students are asking: Can education continue like this?
Is the current way of education appropriate?"A parent of a student gave her opinion on this sentence.
According to the father, his son is now in his second year of high school and attends the best local middle school. His son's daily schedule is as follows:
She had to wake up at 5:40 a.m., wash and tidy up for 20 minutes, eat breakfast at 6:05, and then go to school for a morning reading at 6:40.
The children didn't leave home until around 6:20 p.m., and their parents rented a house to live with them near the school, less than a 10-minute drive from the school.
Children start classes at 6:40 p.m. and go up until 11:50 p.m., then go home for lunch, have to go back to school at 1:20 p.m., and have only 40 minutes to eat dinner, which can only be prepared at school.
I studied until 9:40 p.m., and by the time I got home and washed up, it was already about 10:30 p.m., and I had to spend an hour completing my homework until 11:30 p.m. before I really went to bed. Weekends are only available once every two weeks, sometimes only Saturday afternoons and evenings, or Sunday during the day.
Seeing that her son was exhausted and his hair was falling out every day, the mother asked distressedly"Students are working so hard, teachers are so tired, parents are even harder, what's wrong with education?"
I remember when I was a kid, I would leave school at 3:30 p.m., finish my homework at 4:30, and play with my mates;When I was in high school, although I had evening self-study, I was still guaranteed two days off on weekendsEven when I was in high school, I didn't have many classes on Saturday mornings, and I still had a day and a half off on weekends.
The end result is worrying: school hours for elementary school students have been extended to 5 o'clock, secondary school students have to attend classes on Saturdays, and middle school students have little free time on weekends. Students of all ages are racing against the clock to learn, and the longer they spend, the less time they have to rest.
It has been said that to be successful, you have to invest time all the time. But is such a tight schedule really suitable for kids?Being tired and sleep-deprived all the time may not be as effective as two days of hard work or a full day of rest.
And can the accumulation of time really produce excellence?Prestigious schools continue to select students, everyone's time continues to accumulate, and the grades have also risen, but this has not changed substantially. The tide has risen, but the essence has not changed, and many children have fallen into the swamp of invalid grades.
The fundamental reason is that society as a whole treats children's development too utilitarianly. How many parents can say frankly:"I just want my children to grow up healthy"？
Many parents see their children exhausted and feel that it is time to travel lightOn the other hand, seeing that other people's children have excellent grades, they call the head teacher's mobile phone, ask for attention to the child's learning, and even spend money on various tutoring classes to send the child to a prestigious school.
This anxiety is transmitted to the school by the parents, and the school sees that the parents care so much about the grades, in order to attract more students, the children's rest time is constantly compressed, and the students are naturally more exhausted after studying in the morning, studying in the evening, and taking exams more frequently.
If you really think that your child is working too hard, you might as well think deeply. First of all, parents need to adjust their mentality and establish the right concept: children do not need to be very good and excellent, and healthy growth is the most important thing.
Only when parents are no longer anxious will the school not feel pressured and children will naturally not be so anxious. Children who are passionate about learning can spontaneously deepen their understanding of knowledge, while children who are less grade-oriented have more time to develop their hobbies. This way, everyone will feel a lot more relaxed.
