was shocked to hear that the evening self-study was going to be canceled, and the parents exploded for a while; This became the first hot topic after the start of the school year. The reason is that the Ministry of Education issued the "Notice on Further Regulating the Work Related to Compulsory Education After-school Services" in December 2023, which clearly requires that evening self-study and other services shall not be included in after-school services, which is interpreted as a guiding opinion on canceling evening self-study.
Whether schools should offer evening self-study has been a controversial issue. Proponents argue that evening self-study is an important way to improve students' grades and develop good study habits, while opponents worry that it can cause stress on students and affect their physical and mental health. First of all, we must admit that for some students who are not motivated to study and have poor time management skills, evening self-study is indeed a good choice. It provides an organized, supervised learning environment that helps students overcome their own inertia and improve their learning effectiveness. At the same time, evening self-study is also a good platform for teacher-student interaction. During the evening self-study period, students can ask the teacher for questions, and the teacher can also keep abreast of the student's learning status and provide a basis for subsequent teaching.
However, we also can't ignore the problems that can arise from evening self-study. For some families, evenings are an important time for family members to spend time together. If the child needs to study at school in the evening, parents may sacrifice time with their children because of this, which may have a certain negative impact on family harmony. In addition, long evening self-study sessions can also be stressful for students' physical and mental health. Excessive learning can lead to fatigue, anxiety, and even depression, which is not conducive to the healthy development of students.
Therefore, I believe that the establishment of evening self-study should vary from one place to another and from school to school. Schools should formulate policies according to their own actual situation and the needs of students. If the school has a good learning environment and teachers, and most students want to improve their academic performance through evening self-study, then it is necessary to set up evening self-study. However, if school conditions are limited, or most students do not need to study in the evening, then the school should consider other ways to support students' learning, such as extracurricular activities and self-directed learning space.
After the cancellation of evening self-study in Zhejiang, parents can consider the following aspects to deal with:
1.Communication: Parents can communicate with school teachers, principals and other educators to understand the reasons and effects of the cancellation of evening self-study, and how to better ensure the learning effect of students.
2.Make a plan: Parents can make a reasonable study plan according to the student's learning situation and life rules, including study time, learning content, review plan, etc., to ensure that the student's learning effect is not affected.
3.Urge students to be self-disciplined: The cancellation of evening self-study may put higher demands on students' self-discipline. Parents can encourage students to develop good study habits, such as regular revision and self-planning, to help students better cope with challenges.
4.Pay attention to students' psychology: The cancellation of evening self-study may have a certain impact on students' psychology, and parents need to pay attention to students' emotional changes and find and solve problems in time.
5.Seek external help: If parents feel that the cancellation of evening self-study will have a greater impact on students, they can seek external help, such as reporting the situation to the education department and seeking professional advice.
6.Cultivating students' self-directed learning ability: The cancellation of evening self-study may make students need to study more independently. Parents can guide students to develop self-directed learning skills, such as how to make a study plan, how to review and preview effectively, etc. This can help students to maintain a good learning state even if they do not have to study in the evening.
7.Adjust schedules: Students may have more free time due to the cancellation of evening self-study. Parents can work with their students to adjust their schedules to ensure that they have enough time for rest and recreation, as well as to arrange their study time reasonably.
8.Develop students' teamwork skills: Although evening self-study has been cancelled, students can still study and discuss together in other ways. Parents can encourage students to participate in study groups or online discussion groups to develop their teamwork skills.
In conclusion, evening self-study is not a panacea, it is just one of many ways to learn. Really excellent people should have a strong ability to adapt and learn, explore their own learning methods in the changes, and maintain their enthusiasm for learning.
