Teachers' make-up classes have changed from one-size-fits-all to now appropriately relaxed, and the three contents can be made up
In the past period, the market for out-of-school teaching has boomed, and it seems that only teachers who run cram schools can be considered good teachers. After school, the homeroom teacher often leads the students home to complete their homework, and the weekends are full of make-up classes, and the winter and summer vacations are even greater.
A colleague of mine, who is a homeroom teacher in junior high school, rented two rooms in the county seat and opened a tutoring class. He majored in Chinese, became his own boss, and invited the school's English and math teachers to join, making a lot of money.
I once asked him how much money he made, and he said that it wasn't much. In the past five or six years, he has bought a small courtyard in the county seat and an apartment in Zhengzhou, planning to retire to the provincial capital for retirement.
There is also a Chinese teacher who runs his own Sunday composition tutoring class dedicated to writing, with more than 50 students in the class.
It is really unreasonable for cram schools to run rampant and not be governed, and even if there is no "double reduction" policy, it needs to be rectified.
Once the "double reduction" policy was implemented, various localities took action to rectify off-campus cram schools first, and even New Oriental went out of business, not to mention others.
However, this one-size-fits-all approach comes with its own set of problems.
First of all, examination-oriented education has not been fundamentally reformed, and teaching and learning are still based on scores, and still adhere to the principle of "points, points, the lifeblood of students";Exams, exams, the teacher's magic weapon". If this situation is not changed, the phenomenon of tutoring will not be eliminated at its root.
Secondly, the urgent needs of parents are also an issue. They believe that after the "double reduction" policy, students' study time and tasks will be reduced, which will affect their grades over time. In particular, some students have the phenomenon of partial subjects, and the teacher cannot solve it, so they can only rely on tutoring.
Third, some people with financial conditions choose to hire a tutor for one-on-one home tutoring, while the average family sees this as a new inequality and feels anxious and worried that their children will lose at the starting line.
At the same time, some strange phenomena began to appear.
A teacher who tutored her daughter and three children from a relative's family was reported by her parents, arguing that tutoring should be treated fairly for all children, otherwise it would be unfair.
Another retired teacher, who provided tutoring services to several students during the holidays, was also reported and ordered by the local education department to stop tutoring activities.
In order to help students improve their grades, some public schools postpone the end of school by one class and have teachers organize uniform tutoring activities. However, most of the time this activity turns into getting the child to complete the homework, and the teacher's tutoring loses its motivation and is useless.
How exactly should this problem be solved?
Recently, the Ministry of Education has brought good news that the tutoring activities for teachers can be moderately relaxed, but there are three conditions.
First of all, paid tutoring by teachers is strictly prohibited. This is a bottom line, because once a teacher's make-up class becomes commercialized, it may violate the teacher's ethics, damage the teacher's image, and even make compulsory education utilitarian.
Secondly, teachers should be encouraged to provide free tutoring, and schools should provide corresponding conditions, and free tutoring can be organized.
Third, the number of cram schools should be strictly limited. The education department stipulates that the number of students in each tuition class should not exceed 5 to ensure the quality of tuition and effectively improve children's academic performance.
Of course, when teachers carry out make-up activities, they must file with the local education administrative department. In short, let the EDB know that you are making up lessons for your child so that you can monitor teachers and avoid violations.
It is indeed a difficult problem for teachers to make up lessons. Parents welcome teachers to make up lessons for free, but for teachers, this can be a bit frustrating because they work for it with no financial reward, which seems to be somewhat at odds with today's prevailing values. Therefore, there are still some unknowns about whether this policy can be implemented.
I wonder if the school or the education department should give appropriate financial assistance to these teachers?The above content information is ** on the Internet, and the author of this article does not intend to target or insinuate any real country, political system, organization, race, or individual.
