Many parents want their children to invest more time in their studies, at least after writing homework. But in Changsha, Hunan Province, there is such a father who requires his son to exercise outdoors for two hours a day from the first grade of primary school, otherwise he will not be allowed to write homework. He also made a daily outdoor exercise plan and accompanied his son to complete it.
This "tiger father" does have some differences in the way he takes the baby. This way of education has also caused everyone to discuss, some people think that this can improve the child's physique, in sports and play can harvest greater growth, there are also people worried about doing this, can the child's homework be guaranteed? This year, it is already the fifth year that this "tiger father" has brought a baby, and it is obvious that this father is not a whim, so why did he choose such an alternative way of taking a baby? The result?
Every Monday to Friday, Logue would take his son Luohan to the park on the outskirts of Changsha for outdoor activities.
Logue was originally a programmer, his lover worked in a hospital, and both of them were busy. When his son was two years old, in order to give better care and companionship, Logue quit his job as a programmer and successively obtained training qualifications for swimming, rock climbing, pulp boarding and other projects, and at the same time as an outdoor coach, he also had more time to take his son to play. After Rohan went to elementary school, because of fear of impaired vision, Logue made a bold decision to require his son to play for two hours a day.
Logue: "Mountains and woodlands, read the book without words", I think that before children become people in the social sense, they must first become biological people, learn to have the ability to take care of themselves, have a certain athletic ability, have a healthy physique, have a good attitude, these are accumulated through outdoor play.
Luo Han does a lot of actions, in the eyes of other parents are very dangerous, Logue is not worried, in his view, let the child play is not the same as let go, as a professional coach, he always accompanies around, observing the dynamics of his son. The talent that Rohan showed in water sports was something Logue had long been aware of.
Although only 11 years old, LuoHan is already proficient in outdoor activities such as rowing, paddle boarding, bamboo rafting, tree climbing, rock climbing, etc., and at the age of 8, he also received the ACA Kayak association skill certification, which is recognized as the "gold standard" in the water sports industry.
Logue: He was about 4 years old and could dive to a depth of 3 meters and get things out. He could step on bamboo and cross the Liuyang River. He is very receptive in sports. I taught him something, and he mastered it quickly. And as he grows older, his ability to do so becomes more prominent than that of children of the same age.
You can have fun outdoors, but you have to be moderate when you get home, Logue doesn't allow his child to watch TV, let him choose to read extracurricular books or complete homework assigned by school teachers, and must sleep enough 10 hours a day, and is resolutely not allowed to indulge in mobile games.
Experts: Family education and school education should cooperate with each other
For Logue's education method, some netizens agreed, believing that outdoor sports can both cultivate children and accompany children, and feel that this is what childhood should look like. However, there are also many voices of doubt, and some netizens believe that not all parents have a lot of time to accompany their children to play, and do not attach importance to cultural classes, which will bring great difficulties to children's future further education and career choice.
In fact, Logue's way of education also makes the school feel very embarrassed. According to the teacher, Luo Han sometimes could not complete the homework assigned by the teacher, and the grades in the cultural class were relatively low in the class. And often take leave, but also caused a certain interference to the teaching order, easy to bring negative demonstration effect to other students.
Long County Moon Island School Vice Principal Chen Fande: We also very much support his concept, but this concept and our school education, it is best not to conflict with us, the quality of homework may be strengthened a little.
Logue: Parents often ask me, how are the children's grades? I said first in the whole grade, and then I wanted to add my WeChat, I wanted to learn from the experience, I said that the sports score was the first in the whole grade, and then the parents did not add WeChat, they all ran away.
The Logue father and son have their own understanding of academic performance.
LuoHan: Many of the students in the class are many classes, and the family has enrolled in many classes. To be moderate, there are too many classes, and it is not free to study in a room every day, there is no childhood.
Logue: His knowledge structure system is different from other children, and the purpose of his knowledge is not to take exams, but to enrich his life. I will not hesitate to nurture him in the way he suits him. He will have his own way of choosing, because I give him a lot of knowledge that he is often exposed to, he is a child who loves to learn, he is not necessarily obsessed with the content of the school textbook.
Logue's education and guidance of children has also attracted the attention of scholars and experts.
Liu Tiefang, dean of the School of Educational Sciences of Hunan Normal University: It reflects that many parents have begun to realize or have awakened, that is, to provide more space for children's personality development and free development as much as possible. At present, basic education, the first thing is to attach great importance to sports and the education of children's bodies, which is very important for children's healthy spirit cultivation.
At the same time, experts believe that family education needs to cooperate with school education, and comprehensively consider the problems that children will face in the future, such as further education and career choice.
Liu Tiefang, Dean of the School of Educational Sciences of Hunan Normal University: Because this is in the primary school stage, but what about going up? Children also have a sustainable development problem, it is obvious that to middle school to high school can not be borne by parents, children still have to be in line with this society, school education in today's children's growth is still irreplaceable, so family education or parents, or it is necessary to seek docking with school education.
Family education can not be "lazy" and must not be "picked up"
The biggest feature of Rogge with baby is to play, not laissez-faire, but extremely targeted and certain professional physical exercise and outdoor activities, for which he himself first changed from a programmer to an outdoor coach, playing with children every day, it is not easy to do this, and it is not very realistic for most families. Coupled with the consideration of children's safety, it is still necessary to remind parents that similar ways of taking babies should not be blindly imitated.
From the body of Logue's son, we can see that this kind of personalized education under the leadership of parents does have its significance, and the little Luohan is physically strong, has excellent athletic ability, and has his own views on learning. However, family education cannot replace school education, after all, Luohan, who is still in primary school, cannot leave school, and father and son have to face a series of problems such as academic performance, school order and future sustainability. As an educational exploration with distinct pros and cons, it remains to be seen how effective such a "baby" will eventually be.
From the perspective of home-school co-education, both the family and the school can get some inspiration from the "Luo Format with Baby". Parents can't all go to the sports coach, at least take the time to spend more time with their children, right? Pay more attention to his or her world and help children find their own shining points and points of interest. While carrying out cultural education, schools in the basic education stage should vigorously ensure children's physical exercise, "civilize their spirit" and "barbaric their physique", and provide more material support and technical guidance for children to scientifically strengthen their bodies. This is also a lesson of "with a baby" for parents and schools to think about.
