In the fast-paced modern society, learning and mastering life and labor skills is particularly important for the all-round development of young people. However, in the current educational environment, a worrying phenomenon has gradually emerged, many teenagers lack the necessary self-management skills in the process of growing up, and are unable to live independently.
In response to this problem, Chen Cheng, a deputy to the National People's Congress and vice chairman of the Jiangsu Provincial Dramatists Association, put forward a proposal on the establishment of self-life management courses in primary and secondary schools on the eve of the two sessions of the National People's Congress this year.
Chen Cheng said in an interview with The Paper that most of the post-90s and post-00s are only children, and parents often do a lot of things in life for their children in order to concentrate on their studies.
This overprotective practice has led to the emergence of undesirable phenomena such as "moonlight people", "late-night people", "takeaway people" and "messy people" due to the lack of self-management ability in health, economy and life after many young people enter the society.
Without good habits and health, we cannot contribute to society as the younger generation deserves. Deputy Chen Cheng stressed that although the Ministry of Education has issued relevant standards and requirements, many high school students and even college students still have blind spots in life and labor skills, so it is urgent to improve their self-life management skills.
Chen Cheng's suggestion received a positive response from many netizens. Some netizens said that this suggestion is very "down-to-earth", and today's children do need more life skills training, and they don't understand some basic common sense of life.
Some netizens believe that children should be cultivated from an early age to live independently, so that they can better adapt to society when they grow up" However, at the same time, some netizens raised concerns, that is: Will the addition of life management courses increase the academic burden of students?
In response to these concerns, Chen Cheng explained that the addition of life management courses is not to increase students' academic burden, but to help students better master life skills and improve their quality of life and social adaptability.
She suggested that the relevant departments should issue documents to comprehensively promote and increase the school-based curriculum of life management among primary and secondary school students, so as to cultivate students' personal life management ability from an early age.
As for how to implement it, Chen Cheng suggested that different learning standards and learning objectives should be formulated according to the school age group, and the requirements should be increased step by step.
In the primary school stage, students are regularly organized to carry out activities such as daily cleaning and hygiene, sorting and storage of items, learning simple cooking and production labor.
At the secondary level, a school-based curriculum on life management is introduced, which includes activity planning, curriculum guidance, field exercises, summary exchanges, etc., so as to comprehensively improve students' self-life management ability.
At the university level, students can be encouraged to actively participate in dormitory management, public welfare practice and other activities during the school period, and reward the good and punish the bad by regularly organizing dormitory star selection and life management selection, so as to form good living habits.
Chen's suggestion has been widely accepted by education experts and parents, and the addition of life management classes can not only help students master the necessary life skills, but also develop their independent living ability and sense of social responsibility. At the same time, it is also in line with the diversified needs of modern society for talent training.
However, there are some who have reservations. They believe that the development of life skills should be integrated into daily education, rather than a separate course. In addition, an overemphasis on the development of life skills may neglect students' academic development.
