It's time to take a break from make-up classes!The parents spent all their income to tutor their daughters, and when they looked at the grades, they collapsed!
It's time to ditch tuition!Parents spend all their earnings on their daughter's school fees, but are disappointed when they see their daughter's grades.
Nowadays, as the Ministry of Education has become more and more stringent on the fees for in-service teachers, although the phenomenon of fees still exists, parents and students have different attitudes towards fees, some parents insist that their children participate in the fees, and some students express their desire to participate in the fees.
However, whether tuition fees are really effective and whether they are good has been debated. Recently, a single mother from Heilongjiang shared her daughter's tuition bill and two exam results in recent months on social media, which attracted widespread attention.
According to the records, the mother spent a total of 30,860 on her daughter's tuition during the summer vacation from her daughter's sophomore year of high school to now her third year of high school. Despite the willingness of her parents to invest in their children's education, the expense still hurts her because her monthly salary is only 3,100 and her annual income is only 30,000. In short, her son's tuition for more than four months is almost equivalent to her income for an entire year. The mother made great sacrifices for the sake of her son, not to mention living expenses and other expenses. The cost of the cram school has exceeded her income and even involved her savings, which makes her heart ache.
Actually, this mother didn't particularly want her daughter to make up for classes, but because of her daughter's insistence, she decided to support her daughter. She said her daughter thinks cram school can improve her grades, and many of her classmates are attending cram school. At first, the mother did not agree to her daughter's make-up lessons, which made her daughter particularly angry.
In order to support her daughter's progress, the mother ended up taking her daughter to a tutorial class and telling her to study harder, after all, she had invested time and money.
However, what saddened her the most was that her daughter was ranked 300th in her class in the final exam of the second year of junior high school, but fell to 338th in the first monthly exam of the third year of junior high school, and only scored 76 points in the Chinese test. Although she paid the price of correction, she also suffered a lot, and her grades did not improve as expected, which made her angry. Impulsively, she even stopped her daughter's cram school.
The daughter is very angry about this, and may feel that her mother is too demanding, or unwilling to spend so much money, and even says that she will break up with her mother when she grows up. Mom felt a little devastated, and it was all because of the conflict over tuition.
Some people in society have questioned the effectiveness of cram schools, and one cram school teacher even said:"Cram school didn't work, and my own kids didn't go to cram school"。An excellent teacher even bluntly said:"As a teacher, I am responsible to tell you that cram school is an IQ tax!"Teachers believe that the classroom is the main front for learning. If you don't learn well in the classroom, cram school will hardly play a key role, and the higher the cost of cram school, the heavier the IQ tax.
Of course, this teacher's statement may be a bit absolute, after all, there must be students who have made progress through make-up classes, which is an indisputable fact. However, this does not prevent many students from not making the expected progress after the make-up class.
Generally speaking, there are two basic conditions for improving grades through make-up classes: first, there must be a good teacher. a"Okay"Teachers should not only take their work seriously, prepare and teach well, but also have an in-depth understanding of the problems faced by students and be able to take concrete actions. Secondly, students must be fully engaged in their studies and be able to take the initiative to identify problems and find solutions to them. Simply and mechanically doing a few more questions will not achieve the effect of effectively improving the score.
In addition, the relationship between students and teachers is crucial. The degree to which students like and trust their teachers has a positive impact on improved grades. If students like and trust teachers, then this relationship helps to improve academic performance;Doing the opposite, it will have a negative impact.
As a parent, I am cautious about tutoring and have always wondered if tutoring can actually improve grades. However, I think you can consider tutoring your child in some additional subjects during the summer vacation, such as English in the first year of high school, physics and mathematics in the second year of high school, mainly to inspire.
I don't plan to let my son go to tutoring classes for two main reasons: first, I am afraid that the tutoring class will make my children bored with school, and the gains outweigh the losses;Second, I am afraid that the tutorial class will not work well, waste time and money, and make people even more frustrated.
However, I am not against make-up classes. If the child voluntarily chooses to make up the lesson, there is no way to stop it, so I understand what this mother is doing.
At the same time, I also understand that some parents take the initiative to decide to let their children make up classes. Some parents may worry that they will regret not attending cram school and that their children will blame themselves. There are many parents and students who go to cram schools with the belief that they will not hit the south wall and will not give up, chasing the rare opportunity to repeat their studies.
The current restrictions on cram schools are beneficial and allow everyone to focus more on formal learning in the classroom. Study hard when it's time to study, and relax moderately when it's time to relax. Unlike many years ago, the focus of the competition should be on who is more conscious, conscientious, and smarter, rather than who is better off financially or spends more time. What do you think of this view?
Do you think cram school helps improve grades?
