The controversy over the length of winter vacation in primary and secondary schools has been shortened to 14 days in some areas, causing dissatisfaction among parents
The problem of short vacations.
With the continuous advancement of the burden reduction policy for primary and secondary school students, the provisions of student holidays have also received more and more attention. However, in recent years, there has been a trend of shortening the winter vacation of primary and secondary schools in some areas, which has aroused the concern and dissatisfaction of parents. This year, the winter vacation of primary and secondary schools in some areas is only 14 days, which makes parents lament that this is the shortest winter vacation in history. Compared with the past, the shortened vacation time has undoubtedly caused some confusion for students and parents.
For students, winter break is an important time to relax and rejuvenate. And the reduction in vacation time prevents them from enjoying their vacation to the fullest. The opportunity that could have been used to escape the pressure of Xi and spend quality time with family was denied. For parents who come from other places to work, the winter break is a precious opportunity to reunite with their families and enjoy the warmth of the Spring Festival, but the reduction of the holiday season prevents them from spending the Spring Festival with their families.
What's so special about the winter and Spring Festival holidays.
The winter vacation and the Spring Festival holiday are the two most anticipated long vacations for primary and secondary school students, not only to let go of heavy schoolwork, but also to spend quality time with their families. For parents who work outside the home, the Spring Festival holiday is a special time, a time for the whole family to reunite and have fun. However, this year's holiday is different from previous years.
According to the latest notice, Chinese New Year's Eve is not a statutory holiday this year, which means that many salaried people still have to stick to their posts and cannot be reunited with their families. Such an arrangement has brought disappointment and regret to many employees. Especially for those who have been working outside the home for a long time, Chinese New Year should be a rare and precious opportunity to reunite with family.
Consider the pros and cons of vacation time.
While some people have expressed dissatisfaction with the reduction in holidays, we can't ignore the other side of the holidays either. Long vacations are not necessarily good for students' Xi and health. Prolonged relaxation can lead to academic laziness and a decrease in Xi ability to learn. In addition, too long vacations can also trigger some bad behavior Xi, such as over-reliance on electronic devices. Therefore, a reasonable holiday arrangement is essential for students' Xi and health.
Although the duration of this year's winter break is shorter than in previous years, it is still within the acceptable range in most areas. At the same time, after the winter vacation, students will not immediately enter a state of intense learning and Xi, and there will be a transition period for adaptation. Therefore, no matter the length of the vacation, parents should take a positive view and arrange the vacation reasonably for their children.
Educational reform after the holidays.
The shortening of the winter vacation has also made us reflect more on the education system and the system of further education. The score-oriented education method undoubtedly increases the academic burden of students and leads to the long-term pressure of academic Xi. If we can change the education system and measure students' academic Xi performance more comprehensively and diversely, we may be able to reduce the pressure on students to Xi school and give them a more fulfilling holiday.
In addition, parents can also make the most of the vacation time to participate in activities that are beneficial to physical and mental health, such as outdoor sports, cultural experiences, etc., with their children. In this way, children will have more fun during the holidays and develop their hobbies and interests.
In conclusion, the length of the holidays depends not only on political regulations, but also on the student's Xi needs and physical and mental health. Education reform should pay attention to the development of students, provide more reasonable and scientific evaluation methods, and reduce students' academic pressure. There are other ways for parents to enrich their children's holiday life and help them develop and grow holistically. Only when families, schools and society work together can children's Xi school life be more meaningful and colorful.
