Is it good or bad to set up a homework postponement period at the beginning of school?

01 For those students who have not completed their winter vacation homework, the following news is undoubtedly good news: According to China News Network, on the 19th, the Chengdu Municipal Education Bureau issued the "Notice on Preparing for the Opening of Primary and Secondary Schools and Kindergartens in the Spring Semester of 2024", which requires that within two weeks after the start of school is the "homework postponement period", and teachers shall not let students come to school on the grounds that students have not completed their homework.

A similar "homework postponement period" has been set up in many places since last summer, and students who have not completed their summer homework can complete it within two weeks of the start of school, and I believe that this winter vacation homework is the same. If your child's holiday homework hasn't been completed, then you can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, if it happens that there are such regulations in place. 02 Some people support and some oppose the regulations on the establishment of "deferred delivery periods" for holiday homework by local education departments. Proponents argue that the "deferred deadline" humanizes education, while opponents argue that it is condoning students to break the rules. In fact, whether to set up a "postponement period for homework", the first question should be whether it is necessary to leave the holiday homework. A simple logic is that if the assignment of homework during the winter and summer vacations is scientific and reasonable, and is beneficial to children's learning and growth, then it should be required to be completed on time. If the homework itself is useless and even burdens the children, then the holiday homework should be cancelled instead of being delayed by the students who don't finish it.

03Judging from the fact that students are insisted on assigning holiday homework all over the country, the local education departments must think that holiday homework is beneficial to students. That being the case, it's a bit unreasonable to allow students to delay their homework. Personally, I think that holiday homework has at least three functions: first, to consolidate the knowledge learned; the second is to check and fill in the gaps in the knowledge learned; The third is to cultivate students' time planning ability and maintain a certain learning state, so as to smoothly connect with the start of school. Obviously, if you don't complete your holiday homework, it will affect your learning after the start of school. If you make up for it after the start of school, it will also lose the meaning and role of holiday homework. Moreover, there are new study tasks and new assignments every day after the start of school, and you have not completed them during a month of long vacation, and it is also a difficult problem to make up for them if you have eight classes a day and homework. Having to be completed by the student also increases the burden of the first two weeks of the student. 04 Our school education should not only teach students knowledge, but also teach students rules. Turning in homework on time is a basic rule that every student should follow. Just like when we grow up and participate in work, we must complete our work tasks according to the time node. If the work is not completed on time, neither the leaders in the system nor the bosses outside the system will set up a "deferred delivery period" for us, let alone a special notice from the department demanding that no punishment be given. If we are always open to students in school, we are always used to it, and when we enter the society in the future, they will definitely not adapt to it, and even suffer a big loss. Of course, holiday homework can be postponed in one sentence, but in the future, when you go to society, someone will give you a "deferred delivery date"? Life is delayed, can it be delayed? In a sense, criticizing or even giving minor punishments to students who have not completed their homework is more educational than setting a "homework deadline" for them.
