With the start of school imminent, primary and secondary school students rushed to work with the help of their families to copy newspapers and punch in reports.
These practical homework are a bit difficult for children to handle
The start of school is imminent, and the drama of fancy winter vacation homework is "staged" again. The reporter's investigation found that doing practical homework such as hand-copying newspapers and checking in museums has become the focus of students and parents to "check and fill in the gaps", and some parents simply write their homework. Most of the principals of primary and secondary schools said that there was no point in rushing to work. Some schools have also indicated that they will appropriately set an adjustment period for the start of school, allowing students time to delay the submission of homework.
The original hand-copied newspaper stumped the whole family.
In the past week, Ms. Shan's normal behavior is to "work overtime" to draw pictures after work every day and help her children complete the original hand-copied newspaper. As a parent of a fourth-grader, Ms. Shan found that her child had at least five or six hand-copied newspaper assignments during the winter vacation. "The teacher demanded that it must be very original and original. ”
For example, she has an assignment to "read the 24 solar terms", which introduces the characteristics, customs, and verses of different solar terms. "The little boy's drawing skills were worried, so he had to come up with ideas as a family, so I started drawing and asked my son to fill in the blanks and write. Practical assignments are simply a test for parents. ”
The reporter randomly interviewed more than a dozen parents of primary and secondary school students, and almost all of them complained about hand-copied newspaper homework. Ms. Yan's daughter, who has just started primary school, said: "The school has left five reading reports for me to write in the form of hand-copied newspapers. The child reads very seriously, but it is still a little difficult to draw a hand-copied newspaper, and in the end the whole family can only help her with her homework, and she still has not learned how to make a hand-copied newspaper. ”
Visit the museum just to find out.
Many schools have practical assignments for visiting museums. The reporter visited nearly 10 museums, and saw students with textbooks in the exhibition hall looking for answers. At the Capital Museum, a boy in his first year of junior high school held his mobile phone and slapped at the explanation board, but barely looked up to look at the cultural relics. "The school requires at least five exhibitions to be seen during the winter vacation and to write down information about key cultural relics. I came with two classmates, they were in a separate exhibition hall, and one of us was in charge of part of it, and we were able to solve the problem quickly. ”
Many parents also said that sometimes their children just walked into the museum to complete their homework, and when they visited the exhibition, they did not remember a lot of knowledge at all.
There are also some parents who have done their homework and hope to take their children to the museum. "During the Spring Festival holiday, our family deliberately chose to go to Henan to play, because there are many museum resources there, which is convenient for children to complete practical homework. Mr. Chang, a parent of a fifth-grade student, said that although the museum trip was rewarding for the children, the complicated homework brought negative emotions to the children. "In order to complete the homework, the children have to repair, cut, and prepare speeches, and they already have a 'resistance' to the museum. ”
The school will set a deadline for deferring the submission of assignments.
In response to this fancy rush to practice homework, Li Mingxin, principal of Beijing Primary School, believes that rushing to rush homework makes the practice homework itself lose its educational significance.
After the implementation of the "double reduction" policy, many schools no longer leave rote memorization and simple and repetitive single subject assignments, but spend time designing practical assignments. "The original intention of designing these assignments is to cultivate students' core literacy and promote their all-round and healthy growth. He said that the assignments are intended to encourage students to stick to appropriate exercise, carry out green reading, and participate in practical activities. "Whether it's letting children do their homework before school starts, or parents helping their children with homework, this kind of education is not right. ”
Some schools said that students are not encouraged to "fool" in order to rush work, and will set aside a period to delay the submission of homework and encourage students to use their brains and hands. Li Mingxin said that parents should guide their children to make feasible holiday life and study plans, cultivate children's good habits, and for students who really can't complete their homework, schools can also set up a certain "buffer period": "Students explain the reasons truthfully, and the teacher will allow the delay or make a more appropriate treatment."
