Obviously, it is clear here that evening self-study is not an after-school service.
First of all, evening self-study is undoubtedly a convenient learning service provided by schools for students, and it should not be included in the scope of after-school services. In addition, evening self-study should not be a fee, and this policy may put most schools in a difficult situation. Some financially sound junior high schools may be able to cope with this dilemma, but for most, the pressure is enormous. In this context, parental intervention may be a solution, but not long ago, a well-known junior high school in Hangzhou tried to do so, but parents complained. After all, parent-supervised evening study environments are not always ideal, and can sometimes be as noisy as a wet market. So, should you consider canceling the evening self-study directly?The cancellation of evening self-study may exacerbate the disparity between students: high-achieving students will have more time to opt for off-campus tutoring, which will further improve their grades;Students with lower grades may face more academic pressure because they are unable to complete their assignments. From an institutional point of view, the abolition of evening self-study seems to be the general trend. After all, an excessive study load is a threat to students' physical and mental health. The state advocates that junior high school students should have more time to participate in physical exercise in addition to studying, just like primary school students.
Without evening self-study, would junior high school be better?
