In the current context of encouraging quality education and promoting "double reduction", the forms of preschool education and primary and secondary school homework are becoming more and more diversified, among which manual work has become an increasingly important part. However, due to the gradual increase in the difficulty of manual work, many parents and children face the dilemma of not being able to complete it. This phenomenon has aroused the concern of parents, who have begun to look for solutions, and at the same time, a new business area has been created - manual work on behalf of others. On the e-commerce platform, many merchants provide services to do all kinds of manual work, and the sales volume is even as high as 200,000. However, the rise of manual work has also sparked a series of discussions and questions, which many believe deviates from the original purpose of education and harms children's growth and development opportunities. Therefore, we need to think about how to correct the deviation, so that manual work can return to the essence of education, so that children can truly grow and have fun through manual work.
The phenomenon of manual work has become a business. On e-commerce platforms, many merchants offer services that do manual work on their behalf, and prices are based on the time, cost and difficulty of the work. These merchants tend to have higher sales of their products and more positive customer reviews. The main reason why many parents choose to do manual homework on their behalf is because they don't have the time, but also because they want their children to submit an excellent assignment in order to receive a reward. In addition, after assigning manual homework at school, parents often choose to find a proxy business directly to ensure that the task can be completed efficiently. Although some parents also realize that doing manual homework on their behalf is not cost-effective, they still choose this method.
However, the phenomenon of manual work on behalf of others deviates from the original purpose of education and raises a series of problems. First of all, doing manual homework on behalf of children deprives them of the opportunity to acquire knowledge through manual work. Handicraft itself is a way to exercise children's hands-on and thinking skills, and by making their own works, children can experience the joy of creation, while also improving their hands-on ability and creativity. However, doing manual homework on behalf of children prevents them from truly gaining these opportunities for growth, and they lose the opportunity to improve themselves through hands-on practice.
Secondly, doing manual homework on behalf of children has a counterproductive effect on shaping children's view of money and worldview. Some parents will do whatever it takes to make their homework look better in order to achieve perfect homework results, which not only makes children overly dependent on external forces, but also makes them overly pursue fame and fortune, ignoring the essence of growth and fun.
In the face of the phenomenon of manual work on behalf of others, we should think about how to correct the deviation and return manual work to the essence of education. First of all, schools and teachers should give proper consideration to the assignment of handicrafts to ensure that they are both appropriately difficult and develop children's hands-on skills and creativity. At the same time, teachers should focus on guidance, encourage children to complete homework independently, and provide necessary guidance and support, but should not replace children in completing homework.
Secondly, parents should establish a correct concept of education, not blindly pursue perfect homework results, but should pay attention to their children's growth and fun. Parents can participate in the process of making manual work with their children, providing appropriate help and guidance, but make sure that children are able to complete the homework themselves.
Finally, schools and parents can also improve children's manual skills and creativity by carrying out relevant activities and lessons. For example, a handicraft competition or a handicraft class can be organized so that children can learn and exercise in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
In short, the emergence of the phenomenon of manual work has led to thinking about education. We should face up to this problem and take measures to correct it, so that manual work can return to the essence of education, so that children can truly grow and have fun through manual work. Only in this way will we be able to cultivate more creative and hands-on future talents.
