In recent years, the burden reduction of primary and secondary schools has become a hot topic in society, and all parties have called for reducing the academic pressure of students. However, despite the introduction of measures such as the double reduction policy and extended service by the education department, it is still difficult to completely reduce the learning pressure of students due to the existence of examination-oriented education and further education system. In this context, the 2024 winter vacation time for primary and secondary schools has been established, but parents have expressed difficulty in accepting it. This article will focus on the 2024 winter vacation schedule for primary and secondary schools and parents' dissatisfaction.
Winter break is one of the most anticipated holidays for students, who want to be able to take a good break from the heavy academic pressure. According to the confirmed winter vacation time, we can see that the holiday time in various places is basically concentrated at the end of January or early February 2024, which means that students will start the holiday before the new year and start school after the fifteenth day of the first month. For students from less competitive areas, the holiday time is not only early, but also longer, and they will undoubtedly feel excited and happy. However, not everywhere is the same, and some areas with high competitive pressures, such as Zhejiang Province, will only start their winter break on February 3, 2024, which will be a more difficult experience for these students.
The main reason why parents find it difficult to accept the arrangement of students' holidays is the Spring Festival holiday and the length of the holidays. For many migrant workers, the Spring Festival holiday is a long-awaited period and a happy moment of reunion. However, this year's Chinese New Year holiday is different from previous years. According to the Notice on the Arrangement of Some Holidays in 2024, there is no mandatory holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, which means that many migrant workers still need to stick to their jobs and cannot spend Chinese New Year's Eve with their families. Many parents feel extremely helpless about such a change, especially when they learn that the winter vacation time of students, some parents even propose to cancel the winter and summer vacations, so that students, teachers and parents are on the same front.
Despite the unacceptable emotions of parents, we should also understand and trust the arrangements of the education department. After all, reform takes time and is in the interests of the majority. If there are no or few holidays, it may lead to more students developing mental health problems and even more students becoming bored with school. Therefore, the existence of winter and summer vacations is necessary for students, and they can provide students with opportunities to relax, exercise, and develop hobbies. In the face of the arrangement of students' holidays, parents should remain calm, let their children's holidays be spent at home, and avoid excessive arrangements for compulsory extracurricular learning.
Winter vacation is a rare break time for primary and secondary school students, and parents should help them arrange their vacations reasonably. Because students' self-discipline is weak, it is easy to disrupt the biological clock, leading to problems such as staying up late and eating irregularly, which has a negative impact on their physical and mental health. Therefore, parents should guide students to arrange their work and rest time reasonably, urge them to go to bed on time, and ensure adequate sleep. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to students' online behavior, so that they can go online in a green and civilized manner, and stay away from the interference of bad network information. In addition, the relevant departments should also strengthen the control of electronic online games, and strictly supervise the illegal make-up classes in various places to ensure that students can have a healthy and happy holiday.
Regardless of whether or not a student's vacation time meets parents' expectations, winter break is crucial for a student's development. It provides students with an opportunity to rest, help to adjust their mindset, relax their minds, and develop hobbies. Parents need to treat student holidays properly and help their children have an enjoyable and meaningful holiday. Parents should guide their children to maintain good work and rest habits, plan their time, develop independent learning ability, and encourage their children to participate in various beneficial activities for all-round development. At the same time, parents should also maintain good communication with the education department and the school, believing that their decisions are for the benefit of their children and jointly create a better environment for their children's growth.
As parents, we care about our children's academic and holiday arrangements, and hope that they can get enough rest and development during the holidays. However, due to the different conditions in different places, the vacation time of students also varies, and parents may be dissatisfied with this. However, we should trust the arrangements of the education sector, who always put the health and development of students first. As parents, we should guide our children correctly, help them arrange their vacation time reasonably, and cultivate good living habits and learning ability. At the same time, we also actively participate in the activities of the school's parent-teacher associations and the education department, and share with them the children's growth and learning. Only by working together can children be fully cared for and developed during the holidays, preparing them for the future. Finally, it is hoped that the education department and parents can work together to provide a better educational environment for primary and secondary school students and create a better future.
