Why are music, physical education, fine arts, calligraphy and other courses in primary and secondary schools not taken seriously? The reason is well known, because these subjects are examination subjects rather than examination subjects. Schools, teachers and parents are all staring at the enrollment rate. Now the competition between the senior high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination is so fierce that it is natural to teach what to test. As long as it is not an examination subject, it will be marginalized.
However, these qualities are particularly important in children's growth and future life. If the school wants to pay attention to it, it must be included in the scope of the examination and included in the total score of the entrance examination. Physical education subjects in many places have been included in the total score of the senior high school entrance examination, and the score has increased from 30 to 50 now, and there is a trend of further improvement.
The most direct impact of this adjustment is that the playground of middle school is very lively, especially in the months near the senior high school entrance examination, students practice running, skipping rope, standing long jump and running 800 meters. The PE teacher is also very proud, and she doesn't have to get sick anymore. The competition in the senior high school entrance examination is so fierce that one more point will overwhelm 100 people, so schools and parents naturally dare not care.
Physical education class is valued, but what about music, art and other subjects? Now it seems that the sound of waves is still the same, but this situation is expected to change, because the education authorities have begun to consider turning these subjects into examination subjects and including them in the total score of the entrance examination. As soon as the news came out, it can be said that several families were happy and worried, some secretly applauded and some were worried.
Worried school examinees and parents, the improvement of the quality of music and physical beauty is by no means overnight, and it needs long-term accumulation. However, most schools are generally trained in this field, and the curriculum of middle schools is relatively tight. It is unrealistic to spare a lot of time for assault training, and it may not achieve good results.
Secondly, in terms of quality education teachers, software and hardware construction, there is a big gap between urban and rural areas. There are some full-time teachers in cities with corresponding teaching equipment, while rural schools don't even have a decent piano room and full-time teachers. How do they compete with city students? Will this aggravate the unfairness of rural school education and the loss of students?
Of course, there are also many people who applaud the inclusion of sound and physical beauty in examination subjects, such as off-campus training institutions. Schools don't have time and professional teachers, but training institutions can solve it. I believe that parents are willing to pay the price in order to make their children one step ahead of others. As a result, these training institutions are naturally rolling in financial resources.
Therefore, I think music, art, calligraphy and other courses should be included in the examination subjects, and students' academic burden and urban-rural differences should be fully considered. This idea is good, which can promote quality education in schools and carry out aesthetic education for children. But there are many difficulties at present, especially in rural schools. If they are not fully equipped with professional teachers and related equipment, is it unfair to them?
Especially now, it is strongly advocated to reduce the burden on students. If even children's favorite music, physical education and art classes have to be tested, then students' learning will change from fun to boring practice, which will invisibly increase their burden, which is also a problem that has to be considered.
