In order to thoroughly implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee, effectively improve the level of school education, continue to standardize off-campus training (including online training and offline training), and effectively reduce the excessive homework burden and off-campus training burden of students in the compulsory education stage. On July 24, 2021, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Further Reducing the Homework Burden and Off-campus Training Burden of Students in the Compulsory Education Stage, requiring all regions and departments to conscientiously implement it in light of reality.
Double subtraction is first of all to do addition in school, so that students learn to return to campus, as a parent, you need to understand that the child's learning is first of all dependent on tutors, not training classes.
Instead of anxious tutoring classes, be a good parent
The double reduction policy should be said to be the most important event in the field of education this year, and it is also an important direction for education governance at a stage.
Double reduction, from the name, is the correction of the burden reduction policy that we have previously had. The first thing to reduce the burden is to do addition in the school, that is, to improve the quality of education in the school, give play to the role of the main position of the school, to meet the educational needs of students to the greatest extent, and let students learn to return to the campus. Secondly, it is subtraction, subtracting unnecessary homework burdens, as well as extracurricular tutoring classes, especially resolutely regulating and curbing the barbaric growth of off-campus training institutions, all for a fundamental and common goal, that is, to let students learn to return to campus.
Running a good school education can not only achieve the effect of drawing salaries from the bottom of the barrel, that is, there is no need to send children to off-campus training institutions, but also emphasize that schools should assume the main responsibility, rather than off-campus training institutions, because it is a matter of fairness and justice. Common prosperity is not lying flat, but it is necessary to ensure fairness, especially the fairness of the starting point, and education is the first starting point of all social fairness. Therefore, including double subtraction, a series of education governance policies continue to emphasize the principle of education returning to public welfare, that is, "high-quality education cannot be allowed to become a privileged area for the rich".
This is also an important reason for the strict management of off-campus training institutions by the double reduction policy. When off-campus training becomes just needed, off-campus training institutions have in fact become Chinese-style private schools, becoming the third path of quality education, which has caused serious harm to educational fairness while increasing the economic burden on students' parents. Therefore, the double reduction policy has made a cruel move to off-campus training institutions. It is forbidden for capital to enter the compulsory education stage of off-campus training, it is forbidden to go public, and those that have already been listed must also be converted into non-profit institutions. The delisting of off-campus tutoring institutions is inevitable.
From this point of view, the double reduction is not only focused on education, but also on social equity, and the emphasis and persistence of education public welfare are what we need to deeply understand. At any stage of education in the future, the crazy intervention of capital is bound to be a dead end. Because "the public welfare of education" is not staged.
How to improve the quality of education in schools, provide differentiated educational services, and maximize the return of students to the campus has become the core of the success or failure of double reduction.
In order to allow students to return to campus, we have taken various measures to try to keep students on campus. For example, canceling the 3:30 school, providing after-school delay services, hosting services during winter and summer vacations, and so on.
All parties make every effort to keep students on campus, but if the campus cannot meet the educational needs of students and parents, parents and students will still leave the campus and go to training institutions and go to the market. If such a thing happens on a large scale, then our double subtraction is equivalent to failure, and we are equivalent to returning to the original point.
Therefore, in addition to teaching as much as possible and improving the quality of classroom education, we need to face and solve the differentiated educational needs in a realistic manner. People are different, so education is about teaching according to their aptitude. At the same time, the positioning and pursuit of different people are different, which also determines the differentiated needs of education. Therefore, on the one hand, we must build a bottom, that is, to lower the basic requirements of students, but must not be capped, we need to give students and parents with higher educational pursuits the opportunity to complete higher educational pursuits in school, and we must not push this part of educational needs out again and push them to the market.
It is the parents who determine whether the child is excellent or not, it is the tutor, not the school, and it is not the tutoring class
Double subtraction, indeed, so that some parents who do not want to run can choose to give up, but let another part of the parents have a deep anxiety, there is no tutoring class, how to do with children's learning?
The term school district housing was introduced from the United States, why is good school measured by houses? Behind the school district room, it reflects the difference between the family and the difference between parents. Among them, there is not only the problem of parental genetics, but also the problem of family education, that is, the appropriate and strict discipline of the child from an early age, which has formed good behavior habits for the child, that is, seriousness, self-discipline, etc. For a serious, self-disciplined, hard-working child, do we still need to worry about his learning?
The principal of a famous super middle school once said publicly: Every year, at least more than 20 children in our school do not need to be taught by teachers, and they can go to Tsinghua Peking University for self-study. Luo Caijun, the principal of Yuqiao Primary School in Hangzhou' famous primary school and a special teacher, also publicly stated: How many excellent children are taught by teachers?
Therefore, instead of desperately going to the counseling class, it is better to be a good parent, lead by example, develop good behavior habits for children, and let children establish lofty ambitions with a big self in their hearts.
Of course, we parents also need to have reasonable expectations and positioning. People are different, and we must acknowledge the differences. We need to be self-reliant, but there are many things that we can't achieve with our hard work. We must be clear that through hard work we can reach our own height, but your height may also be only halfway up the mountain of others.
Inappropriate expectations are not only difficult for themselves, for the child, but also very likely to destroy the child in the end. Behind every child who goes to extremes, we can almost see the shadow of parents, many of which are because of excessive expectations.
