The poor performance of rural primary school students is not only due to the quality of teachers, but also to other reasons
The road to Rome, but fate is not that people are born in Rome.
Although most people do not want to admit it, this is the reality. There are significant differences between people, not only between rich and poor, but also in the field of education.
In many rural areas, students have to trek more than a dozen miles to get to school. At the same time, many children work at home farms at an age when they should be in school, which is almost unimaginable in cities.
Children in the city not only have the opportunity to go to school, but also enjoy high-quality educational resources in clean and tidy classrooms. Despite the country's ongoing efforts to achieve equality in education, it must be recognized that the gap in education, like the gap between rich and poor, persists.
What are the reasons for the generally poor performance of rural primary school students?Is it really because the teacher doesn't teach well?
A parent posted the report card of the third-grade midterm exam of a rural primary school, from which we can see that although it is only the third grade of primary school, the report card of this rural primary school is unsatisfactory.
At least half of the students in Chinese and English did not achieve an excellent score of 85, while more than half of the students did not even pass in mathematics, and the highest score was only 83.
The content that elementary school students learn is actually the most basic and simple, and it stands to reason that there should not be such a bad score. The parent questioned why rural primary school students generally have poor gradesIs it really because of the low level of teachers in rural areas and poor teaching?
However, the reasons for the poor performance of rural primary school students are not only due to poor teachers, but also other practical reasons.
Teachers in rural areas are generally older. Not many people are willing to stay in the difficult rural areas to teach, and there are even fewer young teachers, most of whom have gray hair.
These veteran teachers, who had worked hard to send children from the mountains to the cities to receive education decades ago, are indeed capable of teaching. However, with the continuous reform of education, the content of teaching materials and knowledge points has long been updated. These updates are commonplace for young teachers working in cities, but these veteran teachers fail to keep up to date.
Veteran teachers are still teaching as they used to be, and they are unable to update their knowledge base for their students in a timely manner. In addition, the old teachers are old and in poor physical condition, so there are limitations in both ability and energy. Education in rural primary schools is relatively closed, and students' grades naturally cannot keep up, which is a sad reality.
Rural education resources are relatively backward. Compared with cities with multiple classrooms and smart teaching tools, many rural primary schools only have a blackboard and a few pieces of chalk. Urban students can learn about the latest educational trends and enjoy the latest educational resources at the first time, while rural students only have a few boring textbooks.
From a teacher point of view, teachers with more abilities are of course more likely to work in big cities. Students in urban areas are able to receive guidance from renowned teachers, while in rural areas there may be a single teacher in charge of multiple subjects.
This disparity in educational resources is a very real problem, and it cannot be changed by a single teacher. This has also indirectly led to poor performance among rural students.
In addition to school and social factors, family education is also an important reason for the low overall level of rural students. As the saying goes, "those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black" directly expresses the profound impact of the environment on people.
From the birth of a child, the earliest contact with education is family education, that is, the influence of parents on children. Studies have shown that children's performance in school is strongly related to family relationships.
Parents in urban areas are generally highly educated, pay more attention to their children's home education, and have enough time to tutor their children's academics, so that many children benefit from active home education.
In rural areas, most children are left-behind children, cared for by the elderly alone, lacking active learning guidance and attention to good habits, and even after school, children develop the habit of "being careless".
"Noble sons from poor families" is just an isolated phenomenon, and family education determines the starting point of students. Some people insist that the poorer the family, the more self-reliant the children are, understand the hard work of their parents, and study harder. However, the reality is that we see that many highly educated talents come from "rich families", and there are very few real "poor children", because family education largely determines the starting point of students.
Xiong Xuanang, the top liberal arts student in the 2017 Beijing college entrance examination, pointed out in an interview that it is becoming more and more difficult for rural children to be admitted to good schools. Xiong Xuanang, for example, was born in a middle-class family and has a Beijing hukou, which gives him a certain advantage in educational resources. Rural children do not enjoy the same treatment.
Xiong Xuanang emphasized that his parents were intellectuals, which helped him well in his studies and created a good learning atmosphere for him. This is something that many parents in rural families struggle to provide, and it also makes the starting point of the child relatively low.
What should parents do to give their children a better home education?
First of all, give the child a complete and warm family. The premise of homeschooling is to have a healthy family. Many parents neglect their children's mental health due to work or emotional reasons, and in this case, it is difficult for their children to receive the right home education.
Second, guide and accompany your child to learn together. Many top students are cultivated in the company of their parents. Children often see their parents as role models for learning, and the presence of parents not only boosts the child's confidence, but regular encouragement also stimulates the child's interest in learning.
Overall, successful people usually get the right education. Education is not only the responsibility of schools and teachers, but family education is the foundation and starting point of all education. Parents should not forget their original intention and give their children better home education.
