How do parents feel when "double reduction" has been promoted for several months? The reporter found that the sense of educational anxiety spreading throughout the society has been greatly reduced, but at the same time, some parents are still struggling and feel that they "have no place to work hard" for their children's performance improvement. With the initial effect of rectifying the chaos of education and training institutions, the "double reduction" has really begun to break the ice in the deep-water area - the change of the educational concept of the whole society. Can school delay service replace teaching and training institutions Ms. Lin, who lives in Hohhot, has been in the third grade of primary school. Since the "double reduction", she is most satisfied with the delayed service of the school. "Now it's delayed to 5:50 p.m. every day. The child has basically finished his homework. Some teachers have finished correcting it. After going home, play for a while and read extracurricular books. I think he likes school more than before." The extended service of Ms. Lin's children's school has been carried out for two or three years, but in the past, it was only available from Monday to Wednesday, and it was only 4:30 p.m. and the school ended at 2:40 p.m. on Thursday and Friday. The children dragged home and didn't want to do their homework. They ate and played for a while. It was not easy to play and impatient to write, which gave Ms. Lin a headache. Since the "double reduction", all localities have issued policies and schools provide delay services. Although schools are not consistent in terms of specific time, whether to tutor homework, whether to open interest classes and even whether to charge fees, generally speaking, there are two aspects of delay services that satisfy parents. First, children can basically complete their homework at school, which is much better than writing at home. Second, interests and sports activities make children more like school. "I think it's equivalent to a trusteeship, which can also let parents go to work at ease." Ms. Zhao of Jiading District, Shanghai said that after school in the afternoon, students choose to expand activities for 30 minutes, such as calligraphy, art, reading, games, physical exercise, scientific experiments, etc. Homework, self-study and reading after the activity. In a small survey on the delayed service on the microblog of Guangming Daily, some netizens replied that the parents were satisfied with the delayed service and the burden on teachers was increased. What are the facts? Li Wei, President of Beijing Xinghe experimental school Gome branch, said: "in terms of off-duty time, it is indeed later than before. For example, our school used to get off work at 4:30, but now it is 5:30. We solve this problem through flexible time. On the one hand, the working time is appropriately delayed; on the other hand, teachers in classes without interest can get off work first in the afternoon." A teacher in Hohhot said that before the "double reduction", although school was early, they had to meet and study. In fact, they can't leave after school. Now the service is delayed. Although it's a little late, there is no special difference. Ms. Lin said: "parents don't want their children to spend all their time in class at such a young age. In the past, they had a sense of anxiety that their children were reporting. If their children didn't report, it seemed that they didn't invest enough and were afraid of being left behind. Now this anxiety is gone." Many parents hold Ms. Lin's mentality. However, this does not mean that the anxiety is completely eliminated. There are fewer follow-up classes, but the "tension" for children's learning still exists, such as "grade one anxiety". For example, instead of reporting to the teaching auxiliary class, they pursue the specialty class of literature, art and sports. In fact, this is a question of whether parents trust the school or the tutorial class more. How can "double reduction" reduce pressure for anxious parents Mr. Zhao in Haidian District of Beijing is hesitating whether to apply for a class for children who are still in kindergarten. Mr. Zhao himself does not agree with various training courses such as "development" and "Enlightenment". "But there is a practical problem," Mr. Zhao said, "Now whether children teach at home or sign up for classes, they will have a lot of things before the first grade of primary school, and even some will add and subtract within 100. Over time, primary school teachers default that some things have been learned by children. Parents are afraid that their children can't keep up, so signing up for classes has become inevitable and began to roll in." This worry is quite representative among parents. The reporter interviewed several parents in Beijing. They are all working hard for their children to go to the first grade, or sign up for classes, or teach at home. Li Wei said: "this is actually the self pressurization of parents. Primary school has always been teaching from a zero starting point. Even if children can calculate some addition and subtraction algorithms, they don't understand arithmetic theory, so no matter how many they can, the school teaches from scratch." Cooperate with "double subtraction" In the first half of this year, the Ministry of Education issued guidance on promoting the scientific connection between kindergartens and primary schools. Primary schools implemented admission adaptability education, set the first semester of grade one as the admission adaptation period, and reformed teaching methods to connect with kindergartens. The opinion also mentioned that kindergartens and primary schools should help parents understand the harm of over strengthening knowledge preparation and learning the contents of primary school courses in advance 。 "Kindergartens mainly cultivate children's habits, not knowledge," Li Wei said, "Primary schools and kindergartens have an exchange of visits mechanism, and we also have a pre-test for admission. When learning new things, children will be slow at the beginning, which is normal. For example, Chinese Pinyin, according to the syllabus, should be taught within a month. Children must be unskilled at the beginning. Many parents are nervous about this. In fact, it is not necessary." In the past, parents complained that the school not only assigned homework to their children, but also assigned it to their parents. Now the school doesn't assign it, and parents are worried about their children's grades. Parents who are too nervous have not noticed that a series of changes brought by "double reduction" have quietly taken place. How can "double subtraction" release learning initiative Under the topic of "double reduction" on the Internet, there are always replies that parents still want to give children a tutorial class. Under the pressure of entering school, they can't care about their grades. But will "double subtraction" really make children learn less and drop their grades? "'double reduction 'is a social term. For schools, it is actually' double promotion ', which not only improves the quality of school education and teaching, but also improves the level of school teaching services. The essence is the reform and improvement of education and teaching methods, improving quality and efficiency. For example, the total amount of work is small now, but teachers spend on studying how to keep homework and what kind of homework to keep Time has increased, "Li Wei said. Since the promotion of "double reduction", Li Wei's personal feeling is that the children are much better. "For example, the blackboard newspaper in our school corridor, the original work was done with the help of parents. Now it has changed. It is the children who take the initiative to express their lives. Another point, now there are many children joking with me. These are good changes." When parents are still struggling to sign up for classes and the society is still discussing the right and wrong of the education and training structure, children's initiative suppressed by education anxiety comes out quietly and lively like the grass in spring. Ms. Lin's third grade son refused her mother's guidance to write a composition for the first time and wrote it entirely by himself. Although the score of the composition was not as high as the last time, the teacher circled two paragraphs with a red pen, thought it was very good and encouraged him to continue. "In fact, whether it is middle school or primary school, there is a very important and universal experience. If students can have autonomy, self-consciousness and self-discipline in learning, 99% of the children's learning is very good." Xie Weiwei, former vice president of Tsinghua University, said at the education Salon of "feeling development, entering Chaoyang and entering campus" in Chaoyang District, Beijing. Xie Weiwei said: "the essence of" double reduction "is not passive reduction. The key is to expand children's psychological space. After the burden is reduced, he can give full play to his autonomy, have greater psychological space and growth space, and give children such a cultural space." Do you think a child who has initiative and enthusiasm for learning will learn more or less? Do you still worry about his grades? (outlook new era)
