Reducing the burden and increasing the burden of education

Mondo Education Updated on 2024-02-27

"Finally a parent has spoken! A woman in Shanghai complained: "The school does not teach knowledge, the teacher only throws the job to the parents, and the parents teach their children phonetic words during the winter vacation, and the test is taken on the first day of school, so what is the use of the teacher?" Netizens echoed: That's right! I don't know if the students have reduced their burden, but the teacher has definitely reduced the burden!

Things to recap: With the end of the winter break and the beginning of the new semester, on February 22, a mother in Shanghai publicly expressed her strong dissatisfaction with school education on the Internet. The parent pointed out that her child attends a local school, however, during the holidays, the school's tasks seem to become parents' tasks, and the teacher transfers the work that should be done at the school to the parents.

According to the mother, during the winter break, she received a request from the teacher to guide her child to learn phonetic transcription and vocabulary, and also to help her child memorize English texts and words for the next semester.

But to her surprise, the day after the start of the new semester, the child took the silent word test, which puzzled her: if the child had completed the relevant learning tasks at home, what was the real purpose of their visit to school?

What was even more shocking was that the Chinese teacher sent all the course materials to the parents and told them that they needed to print the relevant documents themselves because the school's printer was broken. Other parents also expressed the same sentiment.

Some parents said that their children were only in the first grade, and they received feedback from teachers about their children's lack of literacy, asking parents to devote more time to teaching their children.

This shift of education to parents has sparked widespread controversy across the country, with many parents complaining online that the current education system is gradually derailing and that the responsibilities that originally belonged to school teachers are being unreasonably transferred to parents and children.

This phenomenon has led to a deep reflection on the current educational environment: what are the respective roles and responsibilities of parents, teachers and schools under the current education system? For the sake of the healthy growth of children, how should these three parties work together?

When we were born in the 80s, the teacher would educate us if we couldn't finish our homework, and we didn't dare to guarantee it next time, when parents didn't care about their children's education at all.

Now students can't finish their homework, and the teacher calls ** to find parents. Just two days ago, the teacher called me ** and said that the child's homework was not finished and the handwriting was not good.

The teacher beat me up, I didn't say anything, and I told the teacher in a good voice, I know that I will educate him when I go home.

When I got home from work, I said that my son, who had a cold and a bad throat, couldn't get out of my throat last night.

The post-80s generation is really lucky, when I was a child, I was hacked by the teacher when I went to school, and after I got married, I was blacked by the teacher every day for the sake of the child's affairs, this parent spoke out the voice of parents across the country, and praised the courage of this parent.

In the face of the current situation, we need to deeply reflect on the fundamental issues of education and strive to return education to its original track, because education is not only a process of imparting knowledge, but also an important way to train the next generation to become qualified citizens.
