The winter vacation of primary and secondary schools may be shortened, and teachers smile silently
Top. It's now November, and the Northeast has already had a few heavy snowfalls, and the students are not only having fun having snowball fights and building snowmen, but also because the long-awaited winter break is approaching. Just imagine how happy it would be if you could sleep in a warm quilt every day, instead of being woken up by an alarm clock early in the morning and rushing to school to participate in all kinds of fun extracurricular activities.
In Tohoku, with the arrival of November, the land is covered in snow, and elementary school students feel the breath of winter. They can't wait to play in the snow, build snowmen, have snowball fights, and have them to an exhaustion. At the same time, they are also starting to look forward to the upcoming winter holidays. Imagine being able to lie down in a warm bed every day, wake up naturally instead of being woken up by an alarm clock, and not have to rush to school or attend several interest classes. What a wonderful life it will be for students.
The winter break was announced, which was slightly shorter than in previous years.
Imagination is beautiful, reality is"Cruelty"Some areas have announced this year's winter vacation time, and students are looking at it in their eyes and tearing in their hearts, why is the winter vacation shorter than in previous years?In some areas, the winter vacation time was announced, which was shorter than in previous years, and it was almost an unwritten rule that students want to cry without tears every day March 1 is the day of the beginning of spring, and September 1 is the day of the beginning of autumn. And the time of the holidays is not much different: the winter break is in mid-January every year, and the summer vacation is in mid-July. This year's holiday time is slightly different from the past, usually later.
Winter vacation has always been fixed, and students have also developed the Xi of going home for the New Year during winter vacation, so the start time of winter vacation is basically the same every year. However, this year's winter holidays are shorter than usual in some areas. In the past, the winter vacation generally started in mid-January, but this year, according to the calendar published by various places, the winter vacation will start after the 20th in some areas. Even some areas, such as Qingdao, have to wait until after February to start the winter break, which means that students are asked to watch the New Year before the holiday
By collecting information from netizens about the winter vacation calendar of primary and secondary schools across the country, it can be seen that the winter vacation time in each region is relatively late, and there is one thing in common, that is, the admission rate of the most competitive areas such as Shandong, Zhejiang, and Anhui is relatively high. For students, not only is the holiday time late, but there is also the possibility of an early start to school, which brings some problems to their vacation schedule.
Analyze the reasons for the shortened winter break.
If not only the holiday is late, but the school starts early, how should students cope?In particular, middle school students basically return to school on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and some elementary school students return to school a week earlier than in the past. You can't spend the Lantern Festival at home with your parents. Netizens couldn't help but sigh when they looked at this anecdote: This is not like the winter vacation of students, but like the statutory Spring Festival holiday, because students did not have a few more days than their parents.
Why are some schools shortening their winter breaks?This is a question that many students and parents are confused about. Some people in the industry speculate that the first day of school this semester is Friday, and if there is only one day of class and two days off, it will definitely affect the effect of the Xi and the Xi of students, so most schools choose to start classes from Monday and use these two days of vacation to make up for it. In addition, since the next semester (March 1) will start on a Friday again, in order to ensure that the teaching progress does not affect the implementation of the Xi plan, the start of the school year is likely to be postponed to Monday again, but it is necessary to make up for it with vacation time.
For these speculations, we can only say that they are the speculations of netizens, and the specific situation needs to be notified by each school. While the shortened winter break has made students less happy, we must understand and support the decision of the Ministry of Education. After all, policies are formulated by various departments after careful analysis, and they are also done so that students study well Xi and this is done.
The powerlessness of teachers.
The winter break is shortened, and it is not only the students who are sad, but also the teachers. After the holiday, the students have a holiday, but the teachers have to leave two days late. As soon as students are out of school, teachers have to arrive early to make Xi plans for the next semester, answer students' homework questions, and maintain communication with parents. It sounds like a holiday, but it's actually not like a holiday at all. This made the teachers laugh and cry.
Teachers know that they are well paid and can enjoy paid summer and winter vacations. Nowadays, however, this does not seem to be fundamentally different from the mandatory social holiday. Shortened winter breaks mean shorter vacations for teachers. After students leave school, teachers still have to arrive at school a few days in advance, make a Xi plan, answer questions about students' homework, and maintain communication with parents. While it can be said that these are paid vacations, teachers' holidays are actually compressed.
Parental delight.
Students and teachers weren't happy about the shortened winter break, but parents did. This is because during the Spring Festival in previous years, parents have finished their holidays and need to go to work on time, but the winter vacation of students is not over yet. Parents could no longer stay at home to take care of their students' Xi and had to turn to their elders for help. However, the elderly often only worry about their children's food and drink, but do not take into account the children's Xi and the cultivation of their Xi habits. When school starts, parents should readjust their children's schedules and change their procrastinating and lax Xi attitudes. Now that the winter break has been shortened, parents can rest easy knowing that students will be back to school with teachers in the care of their teachers within a few days of their parents' start of work. This is very gratifying for parents.
Wind power. Finally, I would like to say that while students are unhappy with the shortened winter break, it is important not to completely abandon Xi during the winter break. Only by properly combining rest and Xi can we ensure that the new semester starts smoothly and keeps up with the progress of school Xi. Otherwise, they will fall further and further behind.
We need to understand and support the decision of the Ministry of Education and related education policies, because it is all for the sake of students' learning and Xi. At the same time, we also hope that students can arrange their vacation time reasonably, maintain good study XiXi habits, and prepare for the next semester's Xi. Although the winter vacation is short, as long as we plan it properly, we can have a colorful, fulfilling and meaningful vacation.
