The first batch of parents who helped their babies write homework said goodbye to their married life completely
The May Day holiday is coming soon, and to be honest, what I'm most worried about is not that my children are messing around at home, but that the school is assigning a bunch of meaningless homework and punching tasks!!
These missions are known as:
In order to bring parents and children closer, parents and teachers are involved in children's learning and witness children's growth.
But after several years of practice, I found that
As a parent, it is simply to participate in it, and it is completely in-depth. Children don't necessarily grow, but I was trained to be reborn.
Homework left for the child
Parents are often the last to finish
As a parent, of course, you want your child to be well-rounded in school.
Not only do you know the knowledge in the textbooks well, but you can also use it flexibly in life, and there are many moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor.
Since the beginning of the past few years, I have found that whether it is kindergarten or primary school, parents at different stages can't help but complain about meaningless homework, because homework is more and more outrageous.
Forget all kinds of "formalism" such as taking pictures, punching cards, and collecting likes in the circle of friends, and there are still some homework that is unimaginably difficult.
Observe the moon for 30 days in a row and draw it down,
100 million grains of rice,
Let's put aside these difficult homework for the time being, whether the child can complete it, and can these really play a role in exercising and divergent thinking?
Take the first one,
According to follow-up news reports, the child's parents lost 8 pounds a month because they felt sorry for the baby and painted the moon themselves.
And after such an operation, the child has not changed much, and the cost is the parents!
It's just one thing, it's also expensive!
In the TV series "Happy Parents Group",
The manual work left by Liu Guoning's school is to "make a robot out of waste cardboard boxes".
It's a disregard for thinking in my heart "Isn't it just a manual job, where will this be difficult?,Who knows that the complexity of the manual is far beyond their imagination,
Later, I gritted my teeth and spent 500 yuan to hire a props teacher to help the child complete it.
I can understand the empty despair of getting rid of the exhaustion and withdrawal from the workplace when I get home from work, and I have to cheer up and do homework for my children!
All kinds of examples make the facts more conclusive: the homework left for the purpose of exercising the child often ends up accurately training the child's parents.
Pointless assignments
Can you supervise your child's learning?
Of course, I understand that the original intention of the school to set up the check-in and after-school homework tasks was to let every child really learn.
But judging from the feedback from various families, can it really achieve the desired effect?
First, about the various punch-in tasks. For children who don't own electronic devices yet, it's impossible to clock in person. As a result, clocking in has become a task that parents have to complete.
Secondly, can a child's learning only be proven by punching in and out?
Just like this mother said, the school stipulates that children check in for exercise, complete a run of one kilometer and skip rope for nine minutes every day, and then use the APP to punch in and out of the homework.
What bothers her is that she usually takes her children to ski, swim, and climb Pilates, all because of the operation of punching in and out, so it is not considered sports?
Second, for hands-on tasks, the probability of children practicing them is not only small, but also forms a comparison mentality in the class.
I remember that a friend once complained to me that his child's homework required him to make a cartoon character out of handmade origami.
A good house leak happened to rain overnight, and her friend and her husband are not very hands-on people, and they made a not very good-looking one for the baby in a hurry, thinking that they would hand it in first and complete the task.
As a result, after school the next day, the children cried angrily and complained to them: "What you did was too ugly, and other classmates laughed at me!"
You must know that manual work is an activity that shortens the distance between parents and children in the hands-on process, but it turns out to be a competition between classmates! Hands-on ability does not necessarily improve much, but self-esteem is broken.
In addition, meaningless homework or tasks not only fail to supervise children's learning, but also allow children to learn to cope and fish early.
You must know that parents are already very tired after a long day of work, and they have not yet rested when they go home, so they should start to help their children solve the difficult homework left in school.
It is often done for the sake of completion, punched in for the sake of punching in, and it is impossible to talk about the quality.
In the long run, it will also leave a lasting impression on children that it is not uncommon for them to have an attitude towards homework and tasks.
So I would like to take this opportunity to say to the school on behalf of all parents.
Good habits are not formed by punching in and out, and all-round development is never explored through complicated tasks.
Whether it is the parent-child relationship or the child's horizons to broaden his or her knowledge, the important thing is the accumulation in daily life, not a task or two at once.
If the child does not have interest and initiative in learning, it is all in vain.
The same is true for clock-in homework, active children do not need to be supervised by clock-in, on the contrary, even if the child really does not complete the homework or task, they will rack their brains to cope with the clock-in.
The whole development of the child
It's not enough to punch in
If you want your child to learn better and develop more holistically, what should schools do?
When I wrote this, I suddenly remembered the Xuhai Road Kindergarten that has recently become popular on the Internet, and some netizens said that such a school should be vigorously promoted.
Why?
Because of the labor class in the school, the children have really been trained to become all-round kings, knitting sweaters, marinating pigs' heads, pinching elm money nests...
Looking at the child's skillful techniques, to be honest, I am ashamed of myself.
This 6-year-old child named Hanghang claims to have been "in the arts for 2 years", and his best at home is noodles, and at school he is best at fried peanuts and lobster.
The reason why Xuhai Road Kindergarten is popular is not only the contrast brought by young children when they show their skills in front of the camera.
And its teaching philosophy is to really make children bloom outside of the classroom.
It not only allows them to know vegetables and cherish food, but also gives children a sense of responsibility and organization from an early age.
Such a course only needs to be completed at school, without any requirements for parents, and will not waste children spending time alone with their parents at home.
This state may be one of the ideal ways for schools and parents to develop their children in an all-round way.
Whenever I talk to my friends who are parents about meaningless homework, most of them have endless complaints.
Thankfully, this is not an unsolvable problem. At the two sessions that have just ended, the deputies to the National People's Congress in the education sector have spoken out for us: cancel all tasks unrelated to education!
First: Cancel the hand-copied newspaper homework
Second: Cancel all kinds of useless clock-in tasks
Third: Cancel the parent homework task
Fourth: Cancel the task of watching the video
Fifth: Abolish the Parent Committee
Sixth: cancel the various tasks of teachers, concentrate on teaching, let teachers really teach, let parents concentrate on going to work and manage logistics, and return a blue sky to the education industry.
Although it will take time to implement, it is believed that this day will not come too late.
At last
It is the consensus of schools and parents for children to learn more skills, master more knowledge, and have a better future.
But when homework is overflowing, learning and growth becomes a burden for children and parents, and the original meaning of education is lost.
Learning that can stimulate children's interest must be happy and relaxed, not high pressure and load!
