In the process of educating children, the balance between learning and rest is always a thought-provoking topic. A parent in Jinshan District, Shanghai, was dissatisfied with the child's morning class time set too early, and decided to let his child not go to morning class and wake up naturally.
We understand the parent's concerns. For children, adequate sleep is an important factor to ensure their physical and mental health and learning efficiency. Morning school too early can mean that children need to wake up in the dim morning light, which not only has an impact on a child's physical health, but can also have a negative impact on their mental state and learning efficiency. This action of parents is undoubtedly a question of the existing education system and a safeguard of children's rights and interests in a reasonable life.
The school's curriculum is not arbitrary. It involves the implementation of lesson plans, the delivery of course content, and the collaboration and communication among students. If individual students do not attend the morning class, it may affect the overall teaching process and may also affect the learning rights and interests of other students. Therefore, the school's morning class arrangement also has its rationality.
Faced with this situation, the Education Bureau has stepped in to coordinate. This undoubtedly shows that the education department pays dual attention to the quality of life and the educational effect of students. They need to take into account the needs of parents, students' learning rights, and the school's educational goals to achieve the best balance between education and growth.
How to balance children's education and growth? On the one hand, parents and schools need to fully understand and respect children's physiological laws and psychological needs, and reasonably arrange study and rest time. On the other hand, it is also necessary to cultivate children's good living habits and study habits, so that they can efficiently complete learning tasks within the specified time. At the same time, the education sector also needs to constantly rethink and optimize the education system to adapt to the changes in society and the growth needs of children.
Education is a systematic project that involves many factors of family, school and society. We need to work together to find the most suitable way to educate our children so that they can grow up healthy in a happy and relaxed environment. This event undoubtedly provides us with an opportunity to reflect on whether our approach to education is truly in the interests of our children and whether it can lay a strong foundation for their future.
