Nowadays, the form of students' homework has changed a lot, and it is no longer a simple writing and drawing, but more needs the participation of parents. In the past, students only had to complete their own homework to arrange the rest of the time, but now homework often requires parents to do it for them or pay someone to do it for them. Parents not only need to do the manual homework for the kindergarten, but also need to complete homework tasks such as hand-copying newspapers for students in the lower grades of elementary school. This can't help but make people sigh that homework seems to have become a task left by parents for themselves. Although the purpose of the school is to cultivate the whole person in students, this form of homework has raised questions about the meaning of homework among parents.
In order to cultivate students' practical skills, the school assigns many practical assignments, such as housework, and requires photos to be recorded. However, such assignments are often questioned by parents for their lack of meaning. They generally think that these assignments are just for posing for photos or for parents to do. Many parents on the Internet complain that their children pose for homework, such as washing their feet, cooking or cleaning, and once the photoshoot is done, the children will be keen to cope with the homework and no longer actually do the housework. As a result, this kind of homework is criticized by parents as meaningless.
However, there are also those who point out that the practical assignment itself is meaningful, and the problem is the lack of parental recognition for it. Parents choose to "pose for photos" because they feel troublesome or reluctant to let their children do housework, which is originally the personal opinion of parents, not the arrangement of the school or teachers. This kind of "indulgence" of children to cope with homework with a perfunctory attitude not only makes children fail to realize the meaning of homework, but also hinders the cultivation of their ability to live independently. In fact, the choice of parents distorts the original intention of practical homework, resulting in a lack of good interaction between parents and schools in their children's education.
A study by Stanford University shows that active participation in household chores can develop children's ability to live independently and a sense of family responsibility during their schooling and Xi process. Therefore, in kindergarten and early elementary school, parents can complete manual work with their children and encourage their children to practice hands-on. This will not only enhance your child's sense of participation, but also help them develop their hands-on skills. Parents should understand that Xi and doing simple household chores do not conflict and can bring more benefits to their children's long-term development.
Although parents may feel that housework is a waste of time or burden, if the assignment is not a "pose" but a real practice for the child, then it is not a big burden for parents to take pictures at home. The more parents indulge their children not to work, the more children will feel that they only need to learn and Xi, and ignore the cultivation of family responsibility. The lack of independence can manifest itself when a child goes to college, and this can have an impact on their adaptability. Therefore, parents should encourage their children to participate in some household chores in addition to Xi to enhance their abilities and enhance their sense of family responsibility.
The purpose of the practical assignments is for the students to do something practical, not for the parents to pose for a photo. Parents' criticism of practical assignments is mainly based on personal understanding and choice. Therefore, parents should encourage their children to participate in some simple household chores in addition to their Xi to develop their independent living ability and sense of family responsibility. At the same time, it is also the responsibility of the school to strengthen communication and cooperation with parents, so as to form a good atmosphere of home-school cooperation and care for the growth and development of children. Only in this way can we achieve the goal of the school and the family working together to nurture the all-round development of students.
