Today's current state of education makes us deeply sad and helpless. Over the years, there have been many voices calling for reducing the burden on primary and secondary school students, but the pressure and burden of children's Xi have only increased. At the same time, teachers do not get a moment of relaxation, but are busy all day long, physically and mentally exhausted. Reducing the burden on students has no real effect, but has increased the burden, making the children's physical and mental health even more worrisome. The increase in school time, the increase in coursework content, the increase in Xi pressure, and the increase in the pressure of going on to higher education have all made students face great challenges. At the same time, teachers are faced with a double pressure: teaching pressure and a variety of non-teaching tasks. There is a shortage of high-quality solutions in the education sector, and how to solve the current education dilemma has become an urgent problem.
Students spend too much time in school, which not only leads to a waste of time, but also seriously affects the physical and mental health of students. For example, boarding students in some secondary schools spend almost every day in school almost as long as adults spend at work. Even elementary school students spend more than 10 hours a day in school. The existence of early reading, lunch time and after-school extended service makes it difficult for children to even have a peaceful lunch break. Children need to eat lunch and lunch breaks at cold desks, and staying in such a sitting position for such a long time is not only physically uncomfortable, but also a test to maintain their mental state. In this kind of sitting position for long periods of time, the children's physical and mental condition is undoubtedly under great stress.
Moreover, the increase in the academic load has also put a lot of pressure on students. Elementary school students have five subjects to Xi, and homework has increased accordingly, and writing homework in the evening has become commonplace. Not only that, but students have to face exams in various subjects, and if there is a difference in their grades, they will face criticism from teachers and dissatisfaction from parents. Test scores have a great impact on children's futures, so a variety of make-up classes and fierce competition for scores have led students to fall into the involution of education. On the surface, calls for burden reduction are constantly raised, but in reality the burden on students is getting heavier.
The pressure on teachers is also enormous. Teaching performance has always been an important indicator to measure the ability of teachers, and the evaluation of excellence requires excellent teaching performance. Even if you don't want to be evaluated, you need to maintain a certain quality of teaching to keep your job. Once the teaching performance declines, the school leaders will criticize by name, and all kinds of faults will come one after another. Therefore, the teaching pressure of teachers is very high.
However, what is worse for teachers is to deal with a variety of non-teaching tasks that take up a lot of their time and energy. Inspections, creation, dropout prevention, poverty alleviation, anti-fraud, anti-narcotics, traffic safety, fire prevention, electricity and earthquake prevention, drowning prevention and river patrol, etc., these tasks almost make teachers have no time and energy to engage in real teaching work. These formalistic tasks not only deprive teachers of space for professional development, but also crowd out a lot of time that should be used for teaching, leaving frontline teachers feeling overwhelmed and physically and mentally exhausted. In this case, the physical and mental health of teachers has been seriously affected, and at the same time, the development of education and teaching has been seriously affected.
The problem of reducing the burden on students and the work pressure of teachers are the two major problems facing the education field at present. Although there are many calls for students to reduce their burden, the reality is quite the opposite. Students are under tremendous pressure on their physical and mental health due to excessive school hours and excessive academic loads. For teachers, the pressure of teaching and the variety of non-teaching tasks make them physically and mentally exhausted. In the face of such a situation, we need to fundamentally solve the educational dilemma and find a solution to the problem.
In my opinion, the key to solving the problem of reducing the burden on students lies in reforming the education model. We need to pay more attention to the quality education of students and cultivate their comprehensive ability and innovative thinking. Schools can appropriately reduce the burden of coursework and provide students with more opportunities for independent learning Xi and interest development. At the same time, schools and families should establish a good communication mechanism to care for children's physical and mental health.
For teachers, departments and schools need to reduce the pressure on their work. Reduce formalistic non-teaching tasks and allow teachers to have more energy and time for real teaching work. In addition, it is also important to improve the professionalism and teaching level of teachers, so that teachers can better cope with teaching pressure and provide high-quality teaching.
To sum up, we need to recognize the problems existing in the current state of education and actively look for solutions. Sustainable development and progress in education can only be achieved by reforming the education model and reducing the burden on students and teachers.
