Winter vacation is a time for students to relax and rest, and making up classes at this time is obviously a violation of the relevant regulations of the education department. This theme is the focus in itself, especially in today's well-informed society, and it has triggered people's in-depth thinking about the reform of the education system and the protection of students' rights and interests. Recently, four teachers from Pingde Junior High School in Yuanping City were ordered to be dismissed because of make-up classes during the winter vacation. I have some thoughts of my own on this matter that I would like to share with you.
First of all, we need to start with the "double reduction" policy. This policy is to reduce the workload of students by restricting schools and educational institutions from making additional make-up classes during the stipulated holiday period. So, why is there such a policy?
The answer is simple, it is to protect the interests of students. China is a people-oriented socialist country, and education should take the physical and mental health and all-round development of students as the starting point and the end goal. Too much after-school make-up classes or training not only takes up students' leisure time, but also brings a lot of pressure to their study and life. The implementation of the "double reduction" policy is to hope that students can have more time to relax, improve the quality of life, and enhance their enthusiasm and initiative in learning.
However, the implementation of the "double reduction" policy has not been smooth sailing. As we have seen, despite the fact that this policy clearly states that winter break remedial classes are strictly prohibited, there are still teachers who choose to ignore the rules and conduct cram classes in secret. The behavior of these teachers seriously violates the "double reduction" policy, which not only affects the rights and interests of students, but also undermines social fairness and justice.
Of course, this does not mean that all teachers have such problems. These teachers are only a minority of teachers who ignore the policy and make up lessons in violation of the rules, but their actions have had a negative impact on the majority of teachers who adhere to the rules. In order to implement the "double reduction" policy, it is also necessary to strengthen the management within the education system and severely punish teachers who violate the rules, so as to create a deterrent.
Of particular note is the dismissal of four teachers for non-compliance in this case. This shows that the city has taken a resolute attitude and strict measures against violations of the "double reduction" policy. This is a warning to all teachers and educators: rules are meant to be followed, and any violation of the rules will be punished accordingly.
The implementation of the "double reduction" policy also needs the understanding and support of the public. We need to change the concept that "you can go to a good university by making up classes", so that children have more time to experience life, enjoy learning, and enhance their ability to think independently. During the winter holidays, parents should try to involve their children in a variety of activities that are beneficial to their physical and mental health, rather than sending them to various training classes.
After experiencing this incident, I hope that everyone can be vigilant and truly understand and support the "double reduction" policy. In this process, we should not only punish those who violate the rules, but also praise and reward those teachers who take responsibility for education and put students first. Only in this way can we truly get education back on its proper track, so that every child can spend their learning life happily and easily.
