Mom: Baby, come and listen to Mommy's bedtime stories!
Child: Mom, go to sleep!
Recently, a township kindergarten in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, has attracted the attention of parents because of a special labor course. In this kindergarten, instead of being immersed in books and toys, children are actively involved in various daily tasks such as lighting fires, chopping vegetables, cooking, feeding chickens, raising ducks, etc.
Looking at the video taken by the kindergarten principal, you can see the busy figure of the children. They either crouched on the ground and carefully selected vegetables, or gathered around the stove to carefully light the fire.
Of course, there will be two voices in favor of this novel education model, and some agree that it is developing children's life skills.
There are those who oppose it, they believe that this kind of education method is too low-level and does not conform to the concept of modern education. Some parents even worry that exposing their children to labor too early will make them inferior and become "free babysitters" for others.
Endorse parent comments
1. The law that children will survive from an early age, is there such a good kindergarten?My daughter is 25 years old, can she go to a large class?
2. Please promote this kindergarten model nationwide, so that kindergarten children can go home after school early to cook meals and wait for their parents to get off work.
3. This kind of kindergarten is really educational, children learn self-care ability from an early age, we played cooking games when we were young, all with mud, broken bowls, wild vegetables and the like.
4. It is necessary for the primary school popularization of housekeeping classes, many people in their twenties and thirties do not distinguish between grains and grains, and they do not know any life skills.
Opposition to parent comments
1. The more the kindergarten at the bottom, the more you will come up with this method, which higher kindergarten have you ever seen let children cook on the fire?
2. If my daughter gave me even 10 million, I would not let her do these jobs, I believe that a normal parent will never let his child suffer a little!
3. Is spending so much tuition just to feed chickens and ducks and do coolies?
It's normal that anything new is accompanied by controversy, but the labor class at this kindergarten is not a whim. As early as 2020, the kindergarten began to implement this characteristic education model, and now those who sign up for this kindergarten are scheduled to go to the year after tomorrow, so it is still very recognized by parents.
The principal responded
This is a life lesson, the children's world is very simple, and they don't like the name "Xinzheku".
The parents of Xin Zheku are probably the kind of people who dote on their children very much, and they worry about him being tired when they walk.
The labor of education from an early age is the most glorious, and it should not be insulted with the three words of Xinzhiku.
In fact, this class is still very meaningful, allowing children to participate in labor can not only exercise their life skills, but also cultivate their team spirit and collaboration skills.
Don't think that learning a body, learning a Latin dance, learning a table manners and the like is superior, I feel that I can integrate into the upper class society, and I don't have a certain status to learn those are also in vain, it is better to learn some real skills.
This kind of education helps to cultivate children's self-care ability and sense of responsibility, so that they can learn to cherish the fruits of their labor, and know how to be grateful and share.
When I was a child, I was in the society, and the children were much simpler than I was in kindergarten, and I had just come out of society and had worked for 20 years.
