The age of entry to primary school has been adjusted, and the age of 6 is no longer a "hard standard", but it is more difficult for parents to make a choice
With the improvement of the national education level, most of the parents of the new generation are intellectuals with higher education, and their awareness of the cultivation of their children is more advanced and scientific.
For a long time, it is the greatest wish of every parent to be able to train their children to become "dragons and phoenixes among people", and in the era of "knowledge is the way", having a good diploma is the best way for the vast majority of ordinary family children to have a better future.
Therefore, parents pay special attention to the path of reading.
Every year, many parents are worried about the "August 31" school entry time. There is a proverb that says, "Education starts from the baby", and today's parents start to educate their children from the kindergarten stage, because they know the cruelty of future competition, feel anxious about their children's future development, and hope that their children can stand at the starting line from an early age.
In kindergarten, the school's and parents' educational responsibilities are shared between the school and the parents. At the end of a pleasant day in kindergarten, parents will deliberately cultivate their children's knowledge and skills. As children officially enter the compulsory education stage, the responsibility of education gradually shifts to the school, because the school education is more coherent and scientific.
Therefore, parents attach great importance to their children's primary school enrollment, but when their children are suitable for primary school has always been a common problem faced by parents of students who are about to enter the compulsory education stage.
In China, the age of primary school students is generally 6 years old, and most primary schools start on August 31. In other words, students will not have a chance to enter primary school until they turn 6 at the end of August, and if they turn 6 in September, they will have to wait for the beginning of the next year.
For this "hard standard", parents have a lot of feelings. They feel helpless about their children's developmental stage, because different children have different situations.
Some children are precocious, and their intellectual and psychological development at the age of 5 has surpassed that of some 6-year-olds, while some children may not reach the maturity level of 6-year-olds by the age of 7. Therefore, it seems too rigid to rely solely on age to judge suitability for school.
On the other hand, if a child is born after September and misses the current year's enrollment just because of a time difference of a few days, it will have to wait another year, which is not only a waste of time and costs, but also not friendly enough for the start of the child's education. As a result, many parents are unhappy with the age limit for their children to enter school.
In view of this phenomenon, some regions have actively explored the adjustment of the age of entry to primary school. Chengdu, for example, was one of the first cities to relax the entry age for primary school. In the 2019 notice on the enrollment of new students, Chengdu made it clear that the cut-off date of birth for children attending school could be determined based on school tuition fees and the number of school-age children.
In other words, this means that the age of 6 is no longer the "hard standard" for going to school, so are parents really relieved when the age of entry to primary school has been adjusted?
When the "right to choose" was returned to the parents, some people were happy and some were worried. Originally, it was parents who were the most vocal in calling for the relaxation of the school age, but when the choice of their children's enrollment was really in the hands of parents, some parents said that it was more difficult for them to choose. After all, by the time these children who are still in elementary school grow up, it is estimated that they have made great strides into the era of graduate education, and the number of doctoral students will also increase significantly.
Originally, the child has been studying for a very long time, and the child is already old when he graduates from graduate school, so some parents will send their children to primary school as soon as possible in order to give their children an age advantage when they graduate. In the long run, children may start school earlier and earlier, and children may be sent to elementary school at the age of 5.
Parents blindly compete for their children's school age, which will inevitably cause "involution" from the primary school stage, and children often do not have independent self-care ability and learning Xi ability at a younger age, and violate the law of children's growth to let children enter school as soon as possible, which may make children afraid of interacting with others and tired of learning.
The "shadow" created at this stage may accompany the child throughout his or her life, and it may also have a bearing on the child's teaching.
has long-term negative effects. Therefore, on the one hand, the 6-year-old admission regulations are too rigid, and the relaxation of the admission age is likely to cause "involution".
At what age is a child suitable for entering primary school?The answer to this question is not as difficult as parents think.
The adjustment of children's school age is essentially to allow children to enter primary school at the right stage, and if their children are more precocious, they can be arranged to enter school early according to the actual situation of children;
If the child's maturity is not enough, then the child can be sent to school a year and a half later, parents know their children best, so according to each child's situation to make the decision to enroll, is the most scientific way.
