I have been engaged in secondary education for nearly thirty years, and I have experienced the great changes in the educational situation in the past thirty years, and I would like to talk to you about the relationship between the improvement of students' academic performance and tutoring or extracurricular tutoring.
From the 1990s to the beginning of the new century, the Internet and smart phones had not yet entered thousands of households, when students were very simple, seeing the hard work of their parents and experiencing the hardships of their parents. And the parents' forgotten son Jackie Chan is also reflected in the strict discipline of the child, the respect for the teacher, "strict teacher out of the high disciple" is the general understanding of parents. I remember that there was MP3 around 2003 (it was quite rare in our small county at that time), students often used MP3 to read novels in class, and parents did not say a word after arriving at school, or smashed it, or threw it into the basin. At that time, the relationship between teachers, students, and parents was very harmonious, a self-study class, the teacher would often be pulled in the class, without raising his head to solve the problems in the students' learning (at that time, the "information volume" in the bookstore at the school gate was always killed), and the teacher had a full sense of achievement and happiness. Do such students need tutoring, do they need extracurricular tutoring? Our small county of less than 300,000 people is admitted to Qingbei every year, and a number of first-class universities such as Nanda, Zhejiang University, and Southeast China are admitted.
Nowadays, the economic conditions are better, and parents pay more attention to their children's learning, but the direction of attention is wrong (I think so). Parents always think of "this test score is the first few in the class", "how the score is worse than so-and-so" and so-and so and so. Children are not good at the test, they are not calm, they begin to squeeze the children's spare time, to participate in extracurricular training or ask for tutors, do not know, what is the reason for the child's unsatisfactory performance? Ever thought about it? If he doesn't listen carefully to lectures in class (desertion, reading novels, dozing off, etc.), poor study habits (not doing homework, perfunctory homework, not correcting homework), then on weekend tutors or training classes, he can change himself? What's more, parents use the holiday to let their children learn the learning content of the next year in advance (this is also the content of most training courses), think about it, the content of a semester is not good for five months, can he learn well in a month of vacation? On the contrary, with this month's half-understanding (sandwich raw rice), he shook his head and tail in the class after the school started, as if he could do everything, desertion, small actions became inevitable, and this pot sandwiched raw rice was also inevitable. Therefore, the students with outstanding grades in a class basically did not participate in the extracurricular classes, and the students who participated in the extracurricular classes, the original grades, basically did not change, just felt that he "seems to be very hard"!
In fact, parents should work the cultivation of children's learning habits, learning quality, and learning purposes, and associate reading and learning with life, and the ancestors summed up a good walk thousands of miles, read thousands of books. I will not say more here, I suggest that you take a look at some of Professor Li Meijin's articles on children's education, which will give you more inspiration.
