Recently, a piece of news appeared on the Internet, saying that in order to implement the spirit of "double reduction", middle schools in many places have canceled evening study time, and middle schools have also begun to have holidays. The news sparked a heated discussion in the school, with some rejoicing, some worried, and some worried. What's going on? What is the background and significance of this measure? What kind of impact and change has it had on high school teaching?
According to online information, middle schools in Shenzhen, Chengdu, Xinyu and other places have stopped or will stop evening learning, and students leave from 18:30 to 18:10 in the evening, and stop learning outside the school. In addition, each secondary school will also implement a two-day holiday, that is, Saturday holiday, so that students can spend their studies and leisure time freely on the weekend. This information is basically from the education authorities and colleges and universities in various regions, as well as the Ministry of Education and other units jointly issued the "Notice on Further Regulating the Work Related to Compulsory Education After-school Services".
The notice stipulates that activities such as "early arrival", "self-study", "lunch break" and "evening self-study" implemented by the school do not belong to the category of "extracurricular" and cannot be charged. In addition, the "Circular" also proposes that extracurricular activities should be arranged on the day of class and after students have completed the national unified curriculum and the school's educational plan, and the school should be consistent with the local normal working hours at the end of school. The promulgation of the "Notice" is an important measure to further alleviate the extracurricular learning pressure of primary and secondary school students, promote the physical and mental development of students, and achieve the goal of "double reduction".
This new regulation has aroused repercussions in all aspects of the school. Some parents expressed their worries and dissatisfaction with this, and they were worried that if the evening self-study was cancelled, it would have a negative impact on students' studies and academics, and would cause some disruption to their parents' work and life. They feel that studying in the evenings is a good time for students to review and reinforce what they have learned, while also allowing parents to avoid rush hour. They expect schools to reopen evening learning classes or arrange more classes for students outside of class. Some parents also expressed their agreement and understanding of this, and they felt that the abolition of evening self-study was beneficial to children's mental health and personality development, and it was also good for family education and parent-child communication. They believe that taking evening self-study will not only not make students more effective in their studies, but on the contrary, it will increase students' fatigue and tension. They expect schools to increase students' extracurricular life, increase the quality of students, or give them more free time.
Students also have different reactions to this. Some students expressed optimism and expectations for this, feeling that the abolition of self-study in the evening could give them more free time for activities, such as reading, exercising, playing games, etc. They feel that studying at night is boring and there is no need to force students to do it. They expect universities to give full play to students' autonomy and autonomy, and provide students with greater autonomy and autonomy. There are also some people who are worried and uneasy about this, they feel that if they cancel the evening self-study, it will not only affect their academic arrangements, but also affect their lifestyle, so that they will lose the opportunity to communicate with other students and help each other. They feel that it is useful and necessary for them to study on their own in the evening. They expect the university to continue to offer self-study courses in the evenings, or to strengthen tutoring and assistance.
The impact and changes brought about by this new reform measure still need more investigation and evaluation. On the one hand, this system will help to reduce the homework burden of primary and secondary school students, ensure their leisure time, and improve their level of self-study and self-discipline, so as to promote their all-round development and healthy development. But at the same time, the "double reduction" also puts forward new requirements for the development of the school, including: under the "double reduction" system, the implementation of the "double reduction" system, and the "double reduction" also puts forward new requirements for the "double reduction". To this end, China's basic education reform must be fully understood and supported by all sectors of society, and at the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the coordination and coordination of relevant departments, so as to make China's primary and secondary education develop to high quality and quality.
