In the past few days, a message of the farewell ceremony of learning and thinking has swept the circle of friends.
This largest primary and secondary school training institution in China has accompanied a generation of people to grow up, and has also alleviated some educational pressure for many parents. Now, a week after the official announcement of the institution, more than 20,000 education and training staff will all leave.
Netizens commented: "This is an industry, the result of being wiped out by the group. ”

In the past 18 years, from small workshops to large-scale, institutions such as Xueersi have existed, solving the educational problems of families for a period of time, and of course, it has also aroused the doubts of many parents and educators.
In any case, an era has come to an end. The industry reshuffle, the education model waiting to be re-explored, this is the beginning of another era.
And under the double reduction policy, where do parents and children go?
01
Double reduction in parental anxiety
Since the promulgation of the double reduction, parents' anxiety and confusion have been lingering in their hearts.
On the one hand, some parents and children have become accustomed to the auxiliary mode of education and training institutions and are not at ease with public education. Such concerns are not without merit. After all, there were make-up lessons before, and some school teachers would even skip the knowledge points that had already been taught by the education and training institutions. Parents also have some doubts about the degree of care and interpretation effect of public education.
On the other hand, parents are also worried that the lack of institutional training will make the learning gap between students more obvious. This part of the departing original education and training personnel resources will soon be re-employed, especially experienced and well-known teachers, and will become the exclusive private assistants for the families' qualified children.
There are many cases of hiring famous teachers for children. In May this year, a Tsinghua graduate chose to be a domestic aunt, which triggered a heated discussion among netizens. In fact, this also reflects the real needs of families for all-round talents, and there may be more and more private aids in the future, which will appear in family education in various forms.
The environment is reducing the burden, and at the same time, parents' educational concepts have not yet had time to change. According to a survey by the Southern Metropolis Daily, 70% of parents have strong worries after the education and training industry is extinguished, which also contributes to the domestic industry to launch an attack on the field of knowledge.
The "58 to home" data can verify such a trend, in recent years, the proportion of post-90s in the housekeeping industry has been expanding, and the scale of high education has increased year by year.
According to the "2021 Market Size and Market Segment Analysis of China's Domestic Service Industry" released by the Prospective Industry Research Institute, the growth rate of knowledge-based domestic service orders in 2020 is rapid, and the market size is as high as 277.6 billion yuan.
Such a trend has the potential to produce a new round of "educational involution". When it comes to the imbalance of educational resources, South Korea can be regarded as a lesson from the past. At the beginning of the 21st century, South Korea also abolished the form of extracurricular education and training in policy, triggering a boom in private tutoring.
In the Korean drama "Castle in the Sky", a family's private expenses are even as high as the cost of buying a property. And this has also directly led to the class barrier to enter a prestigious university - how can it reach the threshold of a first-class university without relying on financial resources to build up children's education?
According to 2016 data, only 11.7% of students from poor families can enter prestigious universities such as Seoul National University, Yonsei University, and Korea University.
So, in the foreseeable future, can such seemingly predictable futures be mitigated by home-school co-education?
02
To what extent can home-school co-education be achieved?
Obviously, cutting off the role of education and training institutions means that a large part of the learning content and tasks have returned to the home-school aspect.
At present, various localities have introduced pilot programs to help parents and schools better find the rhythm of education. For example, in December, Beijing municipality issued the "Beijing Secondary School Teachers Open Online Tutoring Plan (Trial)" document, which will provide free one-on-one, one-to-many real-time online tutoring by public schools for all junior high school students in the city in the next year.
The program is open to educational resources, and the curriculum is limited to no more than 30 minutes of single tutoring. The teacher receives the actual income according to the calculation of points, and the cost is borne by the finance. In this way, parents do not have to bear additional expenses, children can choose courses fairly, and also support watching replays, which may replace the learning content of previous education and training institutions.
At the same time, some parents have begun to tun classes and tun teaching auxiliary guidance books since the double reduction landed, preparing for the next family companionship.
Some places consciously begin to require families to begin to assume family responsibilities before school age and get out of the shadow of institutional counseling as soon as possible. For example, Hangzhou began to experiment with the parent credit system this year, and strengthened the family education input of parents from educational psychology and other aspects.
The system requires parents aged 0-15 to attend the Growth Academy to complete online and offline courses and activities. After completing their studies, parents also need to take the exam and finally divide the different levels according to the score. It can be said that in terms of family education, it is also through a serious way that parents consciously assume the responsibility of family education.
It can be seen from the combination of national and local fists that it is imperative to "clearly divide responsibilities and let school and family education belong to everyone".

The purpose of education is not to cultivate learning machines
Chen Danqing, a famous painter, said: "The ultimate purpose of education is not to teach what is already there, but to guide people's creativity and awaken the sense of life and value." ”
Deeply. In the era of education and training, the learning form of the institution has overdrawn the child's learning interest to a certain extent in advance, and some students with the advantage of being a latecomer have been erased. The sharp-tip elevation and late-entry make-up classes have become fixed procedures, and then a deformed "education inner volume" has been formed. Students at the middle level see the situation and do not make up for it.
Zhihu has a high praise answer, telling the truth of institutional training:
Many parents take their children to make up lessons, that is, to spend money to buy peace of mind. The main task of institutional teachers is to allow parents to renew classes and prevent refunds. Grades are not something that teachers can worry about, nor are they able to solve.
Therefore, the promulgation of the double reduction, many parents are relieved. At the very least, a large part of the family's expenses have been cut as a result, and children have a chance to be truly "seen."
At the same time as the double decrease, the "double increase" also began. The so-called double increase, one is to increase students' opportunities for physical education, art, outdoors and labor; the other is to increase students' time and opportunities for extracurricular training in sports, music and art. It is likely that in the future, the phenomenon of mainstream disciplines occupying these disciplines will be alleviated.
The actions of the state also tell us that the long-misplaced education model is returning to the right way.
For the anxiety that private assistance exacerbates the unfairness of education, it is believed that the later countries will also introduce the reform of the talent selection mechanism. Some parents are concerned that in the middle of this year, there has been such a reform regulation, the admission ratio of ordinary high schools and vocational and technical schools has been adjusted from the original 6:4 to 5:5, and the universal job rate will reach 50%.
This does not mean that the boundaries of high school are more stringent, but it reflects the bias in talent control: let children who are suitable for specialized academics continue to study, and let children who are suitable for technical learning learn technology as soon as possible.
It reflects the diversity and inclusiveness of children's educational possibilities, and also gives us more breathing space and imagination for thinking about education.
On the official website of the Ministry of Education, there is such a passage:
"Good parents are no longer related to the level of education and culture, but whether there is a sense of responsibility." Companionship is responsibility, nurturing is responsibility, and leading by example is responsibility. Fulfilling the responsibility of parents is to be responsible for the child's life. ”
It's time for kids to get out of the field of achievement.
