See also the 'homework circuit breaker order'. According to recent media reports, the Education Bureau of Suzhou Industrial Park in Jiangsu Province issued a letter to parents in the park, which mentioned that schools have implemented a "homework circuit breaker mechanism": if elementary school students have not completed their homework by 21:20 (middle school students until 22:00/high school students until 23:00), please ask them to stop working, go to bed in a timely manner, and ensure sufficient sleep. Education topics have always had their own traffic, and this move quickly sparked discussions among netizens. The Education Bureau of Suzhou Industrial Park is not the first to eat crab. Since the implementation of the "double reduction" policy, as an exploration to reduce students' academic burden, "homework suspension" has been implemented in many places before. In April of this year, a primary school in Nanning, Guangxi, issued a new regulation that set 9:30pm as the time limit for "homework suspension". At that time, writing would be stopped and there would be no need to redo it the next day. The school also promised that teachers would not blame them. In addition, many places such as Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shandong, etc. have also tried the waters, and although there are differences in the details, the content is similar, focusing on the principle of "outdated and not waiting". As presented in previous public discussions, supporters have praised this "loosening of restrictions" and believe that "homework suspension" is a way to make way for children's sleep, which is beneficial to their physical and mental health; Skeptics worry that there is no unified answer to how long homework takes, and that schools may support the idea of "not doing homework when it becomes outdated", which may make students more slack and careless. In addition, although homework time has been reduced, the pressure of further education remains, which has also made many people feel more anxious and helpless. Afterwards, some media reporters conducted a follow-up investigation and found that the "homework suspension order" was more of a "beautiful look". It is not ruled out that some families strictly follow this schedule and turn off the lights, but more often than not, the sound of the waves still persists. Even if the time limit for "homework suspension" is exceeded, children still need to persist in completing their homework; Even if the school assignments are completed early, there are still other assignments waiting in line. The importance of adequate sleep for children, although common sense and consensus, is often forgotten when it comes to daily time arrangements. Therefore, with these "preparations" in place, many netizens expressed "cautious optimism" regarding the expansion of the "homework suspension order" list. However, the old topic still generates a considerable amount of public opinion, indicating people's high attention and expectation for solving the problem of "reducing homework burden". Objectively speaking, the "homework suspension order" is closer to a protective mechanism, providing some flexibility in the task of completing homework. For students who have difficulty completing their assignments, it is like a shield of "exemption". More importantly, this reminds and guides teachers and parents to pay attention to their children's sleep and physical and mental health outside of learning, reflect on and let go of the obsession with "grades only". Its guidance is beyond doubt, and its original intention is also worthy of recognition and support. To truly bring the "homework circuit breaker mechanism" from paper to reality and realize its beautiful original intention behind it, the key is to dispel doubts and convince parents who hold light ropes and gates. For example, classroom education in schools has been further improved in quality and efficiency, and homework design has become more scientific and reasonable, making homework no longer just a psychological stabilizer, but a powerful tool for tapping into children's learning abilities. At the same time, families and schools work together to guide children to master time management skills, allowing them to have a higher sex to time ratio for learning, which can naturally alleviate parents' anxiety about "not having enough homework". More fundamentally, it lies in deepening the current education evaluation reform, accelerating the reversal of the assessment standards that only judge heroes based on performance, and fully implementing process evaluation and developmental evaluation. Only in this way can homework tasks be reasonably linked with academic quality assessment, and can we promote the reversal of utilitarian and short-sighted thinking in education, allowing both students and teachers to gain greater and more valuable autonomy, and achieve more comprehensive and sustainable growth.
