For Professor Zheng Qiang, parents who often pay attention to educational topics may not be strangers. This post-60s university teacher born in Chongqing, who is not inferior to young people in his thinking, can always make incisive comments on some phenomena to the point.
Especially in terms of students and education, he has paid a lot of attention and put forward many arguments that are deeply supported by parents and classmates. "Double subtraction" is probably the most hotly discussed topic recently, what is his idea about it? Let's take a look.
"Start fast, but tired on the starting line", when talking about double subtraction, Zheng Qiang summed up the common disease of students
The "double reduction" aims to reduce the burden of primary and secondary school students' homework and the burden of off-campus remedial work, starting from many aspects such as restricting make-up classes, limiting the amount of homework and student rankings, and effectively alleviating students' learning pressure.
However, for the interpretation of double subtraction, perhaps every parent or expert has a different view. Some people feel that as long as the middle and high school entrance examinations still exist, even if these are strictly controlled, there are still many students who will silently "roll inside".
In one show, when Zheng Qiang was asked about this topic, he said a very common problem: Chinese students start fast, no one loses at the starting line, and most of the children are tired and fall at the starting line.
"From kindergarten onwards, we paid too much attention to whether students excelled until they went to college, and students' interest in science was faded," he explains.
This is also one of the reasons why students have faced huge pressure on their homework since they were young, and the "inner volume" has become more and more serious. It can be said that this is a common disease of domestic students, and it has been summed up very brilliantly by Professor Zheng Qiang.
Of course, the occurrence of this phenomenon of students is not their personal problem, but related to the excessive expectations of parents, the difficulty of the entrance examination in reality, the singularity of the track and the job search environment of graduates.
Professor Zheng Qiang's insights are worth pondering, students start fast, it is better to "run far"
Professor Zheng's insights summarize a very common phenomenon in student education, that is, it starts very early. When talking about Teaching English, he once pointed out that many parents rush to let students memorize words when they are in kindergarten.
This is obviously a kind of "ripening" education method, although it seems to start quickly, but students often have a tiredness and resistance to knowledge at the age when they should cultivate interests, and it is difficult to cultivate creativity and continuous learning motivation.
He pointed out that "it is better to start fast than to run far", and whether a student can have a good development is usually less related to the start, but to see if he can continue to maintain his ability to learn.
Parents who really understand education do not value the speed of students when they start running, but the "acceleration" in the middle of the way. In this regard, the author also deeply feels the same way, remembering that there were several students in the class in elementary school who were the best.
Later, we were admitted to the same key high school, but these top students in elementary school performed very generally in high school. On the contrary, several other students who were not very conspicuous in elementary school became excellent students in key classes.
Nowadays, many people pursue "speed", and students start learning earlier and earlier, but in fact, they often lack stamina. The more parents hope for Jackie Chan, the more they need to look at the competition rationally and not impose learning tasks on them too early.
Getting students to "slow down" is not an easy task and requires the joint efforts of all parties
Contemporary students are under pressure from their coursework and the pace of learning is getting faster and faster, and even if they really race against the clock to keep up with the progress, they sometimes feel that they have more than enough but not enough strength. Students work no less hard than adults.
It is necessary to slow down the students, but it is not easy to achieve it. As some parents say, exams are there, you can easily be overtaken if you slow down in your studies, and school admission will not give you a second chance.
Therefore, for students to truly achieve "double reduction", parents, schools, and society need to work together. Parents should not be too harsh on their students, they need to look at their studies in the longer term and give them time to grow.
Schools need to pay attention to teaching methods, not to use a single sea of questions model to promote the improvement of grades, but to focus more on teaching learning methods. It is also not appropriate to evaluate students as "only score theory", and grades do not explain everything.
The improvement of the education environment also requires more corresponding good strategies, and experts need to study the educational methods that truly meet the actual situation of students, and further explore more effective ways to reduce the burden on students.
【Author's Message】Students are the future and hope of a family, and they are also a group of people who are deeply concerned. Their learning burden may increase a lot more than their parents' generation, which is a problem worth pondering and solving. Zheng Qiang pointed out the common problems of students very sharply, but this phenomenon has many roots, and I hope that we will work together to improve.
