Interestingly, today's students tend to move beyond writing and reading when it comes to completing assignments. Instead, they were asked to do field labor and record it to prove that they had completed the task. This trend has recently caused dissatisfaction and questioning among some parents. They think that this kind of labor work has no practical meaning, and even thinks that it is an act of posing. So, are these assignments really just for posing?Perhaps we can think about this from a different perspective.
First of all, there is no doubt that having students do housework is an effective way to develop a child's sense of responsibility and independence. By participating in household chores, children can learn how to handle chores and take care of their living environment. At the same time, they can also feel the hard work and dedication of their parents, and learn to be grateful and humble. The question, however, is how do we get our children to really participate in it, not just "pose for a photo".
For kindergarten parents, it may be easier for them to do the work for their children. They may feel that the child is too young to complete the requirements of manual work, or that the requirements of kindergarten are too complicated. In this case, parents may choose to complete the homework themselves or pay someone to do it for them. However, the motivation behind this behavior is not simply to let the child cope with homework, but to kindly hope that the child will be able to reduce the burden and focus on Xi.
In contrast, practical assignments at the primary school level may require more parental involvement. Especially for younger students, their hands-on ability is limited and they need the help of their parents. However, parents alone do not achieve the goal of developing children's independence, on the contrary, such behavior may lead to dependence and laziness. Therefore, parents should encourage their children to participate in their homework while helping them with their homework, providing ideas and guidance, and cultivating their creativity and problem-solving skills.
At the same time, we cannot ignore the original intention of the school to assign this kind of practical homework. The school does not want to increase the burden on parents, but hopes to cultivate practical skills and awareness by allowing students to actually do things. These tasks may seem simple, such as washing dishes, cooking, or cleaning, but the message they convey is important. They teach students that labor is a virtue and that everyone should be responsible for their own lives and the environment. Therefore, when doing these assignments, we should seize the opportunity to let the children truly experience the meaning and value of labor.
To sum up, the teacher asks students to go home to work and take pictures, which is not a meaningless pose, but a way to cultivate children's sense of responsibility and practical ability. However, parents should focus on cultivating their children's independence and sense of family responsibility when completing homework, rather than simply doing it for them. Schools and parents should work together to allow children to truly participate in practical assignments and experience the meaning and value of labor.
Introduction: Through the rethinking of the importance of homework and the discussion of family involvement, we can see the complexity of this issue. Parents are full of expectations for their children's future development and want them to focus on learning Xi and developing their strengths. However, we cannot ignore the cultivation of children's housework and practical skills. When completing homework, parents should be moderately involved according to their children's age and ability, encouraging them to think and act independently. Only in this way can we truly raise the next generation of responsible and independent people.
