Recently, it was reported that a special winter vacation homework assigned to students by a school in Yichang, Hubei Province has aroused heated discussions among many netizens.
According to the report, Tianwen Education Group announced that the new semester will set the "Habitual Egg (another name for egg) project" as a school-based curriculum, and at the same time assign homework to students, requiring them to learn to beat eggs. To this end, the school has specially produced a batch of special poker props and distributed them to all teachers and students as gifts.
According to the information on the school's official website, Tianwen Education Group is located in Yichang City, Hubei Province, with 7,000 students in school in 2018, and the group has 3 campuses, which are divided into kindergarten, primary school, junior high school, national high school, and general higher education.
On January 28, the reporter learned from a staff member of the school that the school did not make a mandatory requirement for the matter of "beating eggs", nor did it count as winter vacation homework, but could only be regarded as an interest education, "I will enter the school curriculum next semester, if the child is interested in this, it will definitely be better to learn about it in advance." ”
According to the staff member, "Playing Eggs" is the school's anniversary celebration, which is released for all grades, "The specific requirements depend on the situation of each class teacher in each class, and whether the children want to learn or not." ”
According to the data, the habitual egg is a kind of poker game that is widely spread in East China, Huai'an and the surrounding areas, originated in Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province, so it is also called "Huai'an habitual egg", which is developed and evolved from the local poker game "running fast" and "eighty points".
The reporter noticed that there was a report released by ** before, which traced the development and evolution of the habitual egg in the current social activities, saying that in 2023, the habitual egg has been listed as a performance project of the 5th National Mind Games, competing on the same stage with traditional events such as chess, bridge, and backgammon.
Gao Zhenghua, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of Tianwen Education Group, said in an interview with reporters: As one of the intellectual sports competitions, habitual eggs can cultivate students' thinking ability, flexibility ability, resource integration ability and other abilities, as well as the spirit of cooperation. These are also in line with the core literacy requirements advocated by the current state: cultural foundation (humanistic heritage, scientific spirit), independent development (learning to learn, healthy life), and social participation (responsibility, practice and innovation). This is also in line with Tianwen's independent education concept and the requirements of "life and practice" education, so that students can exercise and grow in life practice, have internal drive and action, and become independent development people.
