Not long ago, there was such a news that triggered a heated discussion in society. A school lightened the burden on students and reduced the amount of homework. As a result, the parents of the school did not buy it. Instead, I complained to the school about the lack of homework. Isn't this for children to make up more lessons after class?
Some time ago, the official WeChat of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Education released a survey on remedial classes in primary and secondary schools. The results show that the proportion of parents and students who require make-up classes is quite large. Together, the proportion of high school students is close to 80%, the proportion of junior high school students is close to 70%, and the proportion of primary school students even exceeds 85%.
So many children are actually taking the initiative to make up lessons! But not long ago, the Ministry of Education also stipulated that it is strictly forbidden for primary and secondary schools to organize and require students to make up classes with compensation; It is strictly forbidden for primary and secondary schools and off-campus training institutions to jointly carry out paid remedial classes. Some measures have also been taken in various places. For example, the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Education recently officially announced that it will investigate and deal with teachers who deliberately fail to complete the education and teaching tasks in class, do not give lectures after class, and charge tuition fees; If it is verified that in-service teachers participate in paid remedial classes, the main leadership responsibilities of the school should be investigated, and all schools should be suspended for inspection. If the circumstances are serious, it shall be transferred from the post of principal.
Under such severe punishment, make-up classes are still in full swing. Why do our parents and children fight like this?
Six reasons for making up lessons, which one do you take?
1. The competition is too fierce. Can we not apply?
"Now the social competition is so fierce, how can a child do it if he is not sure from an early age? Can't let him lose at the starting line. " This should be the voice of many parents, right?
Mr. Yang enrolled his third-grade son in three classes: English, Calligraphy and Taekwondo. The annual tuition fee for each class is about 3,000 yuan, and the annual fee of 10,000 yuan is not a small sum for the working class, but in order to "lay a good foundation" for his son, he would rather save some money for food and use.
Ms. He's son just entered junior high school this year. Her son has to finish the homework assigned by the teacher and the synchronous exercises suggested by the teacher every day, and he also has English and math classes on weekends. "Since primary school, I have seen other children take new concept English and let my son learn it. There are three classes for three hours every Saturday, and a book is written in more than 20 classes in one semester. The Olympiad is also recommended by the teacher, and it is the first half of Sunday. "
2. If you have a good foundation, you will inevitably be forced to be vulgar.
"English" is always the first major subject in the cram school for children. Although different students attend different training courses, they generally don't miss "English". This is mainly because in the eyes of parents, everything in society now cannot be separated from English. If you don't lay a good foundation for your children when you are young, how can you be competitive when you grow up?
Mr. Zhang took his four-and-a-half-year-old daughter to the vocal music remedial class. Mr. Zhang said that he is not opposed to giving children long art classes, but he "particularly hates" parents who give their children English classes in primary schools. "If half of the students in the class master what they have learned through the remedial class, the teacher will not try his best to teach in class, the progress will be accelerated, and the children who have not reported for class will suffer." Teacher Zhang hopes that this strange circle will end as soon as possible, but at the same time he admits that he can't avoid paying attention to which English remedial class teaches well.
3. It's not normal for people to report to work, but not to report.
Among the primary and middle school students now, there has been an atmosphere of competing for the cram school. Many parents have to "follow the crowd", and parents who don't send their children to school are still different.
"My son is only in the first grade. Before every exam, he reads until 1 1 p.m. I am tired enough. How can he stand another class? " Parents who don't make up lessons for their children are rare, and Ms. Dai is one of them. In her opinion, on the one hand, she doesn't report to class because the child is small and doesn't want to put too much pressure on him. On the other hand, she believes that what professional knowledge to learn must respect children's wishes, which can also cultivate children's opinions.
"When chatting with parents, when my children don't attend training classes, others look at me differently, as if it is not normal not to report to class." Although she is disgusted with the social atmosphere of reporting classes, Ms. Dai feels a little pressure when she sees that most children in her son's class have classes.
4. There are not enough courses, so I'm afraid I can't cope.
There is a great demand for exam-oriented cram schools, and another important reason is that the courses in some schools do not meet the needs of students for exam results. On the one hand, the educational reform requires schools to make certain changes in teaching methods and transform exam-oriented education into quality education. However, the examination results still have a great influence on further studies. This change may reduce children's learning burden at school, but in turn, it also makes parents worry about "what if children's grades are not good enough to go to a good school" and start enrolling their children. On the other hand, not all schools have high-level classroom quality. Maybe the children didn't go to a good school because of a "mistake", but this doesn't prevent them from going to a higher place next time. The curriculum level of the school is not enough for them to get higher scores, and they may not be able to cope with the next entrance examination without attending cram schools.
Children want to learn more by themselves.
It is not only students who don't like poor academic performance, but also students who like good academic performance who attend cram schools. In addition, they often ask their parents to sign up for their courses. Even if the teacher does not recommend it, he will take the initiative to ask which teacher or cram school is better. The children themselves feel the pressure of academic competition from their classmates around them and the desire to enter a better school. They are afraid of not learning what others have learned, and they are eager for greater progress.
I don't know what the child really wants.
In addition to exam-oriented cram schools, art specialty cram schools are also a hot topic. However, many parents actually don't want their children to take the road of art, but choose training courses for their children with the mentality of "learning more is a little". Parents don't know what they really want their children to learn, so there is a phenomenon that one person signs up for multiple courses or frequently changes special courses.
How to make up lessons?
There are many reasons for making up lessons, but parents are still very helpless.
If children really need to make up lessons, what parents should do is to help them make a good choice. If you have to make up, you can make up scientifically.
For example, if a child is lame in a certain subject, or his studies are not reliable at ordinary times, it is not bad to make up lessons properly during the holidays. Making up lessons is so controversial now, or because "making up lessons" has changed its taste. "Although the children have a holiday, learning is the first at any time." Mr. Wu, a parent, said that his son's grades were not very good, especially in Chinese. He is afraid that once the winter vacation is relaxed, the children's grades will get worse and they will not be able to keep up next semester. Mr. Wu plans to find a cultural school to make up lessons for his children during the winter vacation and strive to improve his Chinese performance.
The "lesson" was supposed to be made up, but the key is how to make it up. This is also the biggest headache for parents. What should I pay attention to when choosing a cram school for my child?
1. Make up lessons to make up for each other's weaknesses.
Make up lessons must be moderate and complement each other. Give full play to your strengths, study with good teachers in your child's gifted and tireless interest direction, and strive to cultivate excellent specialties for your child; Make up for each other's shortcomings, and help children tide over the difficulties through phased counseling when they encounter temporary difficulties in their academic climbing. Help the horse to ride, and stop the external force of counseling in time when you are on the right track.
2. Make-up classes are also divided into ages.
Some experts say that making up lessons from grade one to grade three is not conducive to the healthy growth of children. Children are overburdened with study, unable to get proper exercise and rest time, and have no chance to play with friends. This is not good for physical and mental health, and even makes children tired of learning and affects their future development.
Of course, parents should spend more time with their children in their daily lives, and educate their children to treat people with common sense, which are more important than simple textbook knowledge.
Fundamentally speaking, it is better to make up your habits than your lessons.
In daily life, we often find such a phenomenon:
For the first time, parents know that their children's grades are not good, and their first reaction is "make up lessons!" ;
The second time, parents knew that their grades were not good and began to worry;
The third parent-teacher meeting directly expressed doubts: the children have made up classes! Why is there no progress?
Nowadays, the phenomenon of "compensation for poor schools outside the school" is not uncommon. Although it is a last resort to make up lessons, it is obviously not the best choice to pin your hopes on "making up lessons". The gap in children's academic performance is, in the final analysis, the gap in study habits. Make up lessons, it is better to make up habits.
1. Develop your reading habits
Soviet educator Suhomlinski once said in "Suggestions for Teachers": "Reading is an important means of intellectual education for students with learning difficulties. The more students find it difficult to study, the more difficulties they encounter in mental work, and the more they need to study. Reading can not only save some students from failing in exams, but also develop their intelligence. The more students with learning difficulties read, the clearer their thinking and the more active their wisdom. "
If the exam is coming, it will be too late. But in normal times, getting children into the habit of reading is conducive to their intellectual and spiritual growth.
2. Get into the habit of attending classes
Students should concentrate in class, listen attentively to the teacher, listen carefully to the students' speeches, grasp the key points, difficulties and doubts, and think actively while listening carefully. Even if you have studied in advance, you should still listen carefully, compare and analyze the ideas of teachers and other students with your own, and find out the best way to solve the problem.
When the teacher talks about each step, students can even think about the next step, and the learning effect will be better. If students don't like this teacher's class, how to think? Students should try their best to adapt to their teachers and learn to appreciate their own teachers. Otherwise, students can only get worse and worse. Teachers have different levels, and students have different ways to adapt, so they can make progress with teachers. Adapt to the teacher now and adapt to the society when you grow up. A little unhappy. You can't blame the environment.
Get into the habit of doing homework
The first is the correct attitude.
Homework is not a burden, but an important part and natural continuation of teaching activities. It is a process of learning and accumulation. The purpose of doing homework is to consolidate what you have learned and cultivate your independent thinking ability, not to make teachers' mistakes or deal with parents. Therefore, we should pay attention to doing homework, and the practice of "dragging, copying and substituting" is not acceptable.
The second is to carefully examine the questions.
The ability to examine questions is the comprehensive embodiment of students' various abilities. Students are required to carefully read the content of the material, learn to grasp the words and keywords, correctly understand the content, carefully scrutinize and ponder the key contents such as tips, formulas, rules, charts and so on, and accurately grasp the connotation and extension of each knowledge point. At the same time, we should cultivate our ability to find mistakes in homework and exams and correct them in time.
Thirdly, it is the habit of reflection after practice.
In the process of reading and learning, especially in the process of reviewing for the exam, every student has carried out intensive exercises, but the completion of the topic is not completely successful. What is important is to extend, expand and deepen knowledge. Therefore, reflection is an important link after solving the problem. Why did you think of this method? Is there any other way? Which method is better? Can you change it to another exercise? If there is a wrong solution, we should reflect: what is the root of the wrong solution? What should I pay attention to when answering similar questions? How to overcome common mistakes? "Learn from mistakes" and constantly improve yourself.
Finally, the habit of collecting wrong questions
Take a piece of paper with you at ordinary times, write down any questions or mistakes, read it often, and throw it away after reading it. Write down valuable things in a special notebook, find some acceptable questions and related knowledge points at the same level to study their similarities and differences, as well as the skills and methods of solving problems. Reviewing the wrong questions in the exam is also very effective.
Formulate learning methods
Dare to ask questions is the most basic. Dare to ask teachers, classmates and parents with questions about knowledge. If you don't pretend to understand, you will eventually hurt yourself.
The second is to review the habit of induction. Review is to digest knowledge, deepen understanding and memory, and draw inferences from others. Review is regular, review must be timely, otherwise it will take several times more time to review beyond people's memory limit, and the effect is not good. So be sure to review in a planned and uninterrupted way. Review, summarize and generalize the knowledge learned, grasp the key points and keys that should be mastered, and understand the concepts that are easy to be confused through comparison. Every time you learn a special topic, you must connect the knowledge points scattered in each chapter into a line, supplemented by a surface, to form a network, so that the knowledge you have learned is systematic, regular and structured, so that you can use it freely and think actively.
build confidence
Children's self-confidence affects their learning activities all the time. Once you encounter setbacks and failures, you will be depressed, depressed, and even panicked and completely collapsed. It not only restricts students' behavior, but also binds students' thinking, making it difficult for students to achieve ideal results in all aspects of learning.
Self-confidence depends on parents' encouragement and communication, and on students' self-suggestion, telling themselves "I can do it!" "The third is to treat success and setbacks correctly and test scores correctly.
