Recently, a movie called "Young You" was screened nationwide, which is based on school bullying and tells the story of an ordinary girl because of school violence. As soon as the film was released, it quickly aroused heated discussions among the audience, and more people began to pay attention to the social phenomenon of school violence.
In addition to the issue of school violence shown in the film, the topic of education seems to have become more heated in recent times. Especially after the introduction of the "double reduction" policy, the current situation of education and the discussion of education issues are endless.
The introduction of the "double reduction" policy is to reduce the burden of students' homework on the one hand, and to standardize the development of off-campus training institutions on the other hand. Behind this, in fact, it also reflects many problems in the current education field, such as students' excessive homework burden, parents' educational anxiety, and vicious competition in off-campus training institutions.
In addition, what impact will the "double reduction" policy have on families and children in the two dimensions of urban and rural space? In rural areas, children do have more free time as a result of this policy, but is their inner world as simple as it seems?
1. Are rural children very happy?
Recently, a group of photos of children living in rural areas have caused heated discussions on the Internet. In the photo, a group of rural children are running and playing in the fields, their faces are full of bright smiles, and they seem to be having a very happy life.
And such a scene also made many people feel emotional, and they said, "It turns out that rural children are the real happy angels!" ”。 Indeed, in today's society with increasing competitive pressure, urban children often need to face all kinds of competition and challenges, while rural children seem to be able to temporarily "escape" in such competition and have their own pure land.
However, the so-called "rural children are very happy" actually contains not only simple happiness and innocence, but a kind of "helplessness" and "escape" of rural families from education.
Second, the overall impetuousness of township middle school students, but the sense of anxiety has decreased?
I believe that many people do not know much about the state of education in rural areas, but a teacher who recently teaches in a township middle school has revealed some "truths" about rural education to the outside world through his own personal experience.
In his description, compared with ten years ago, today's township middle school students seem to have become "impetuous" as a whole, smoking, fighting, falling in love, chasing stars, and various subcultures are prevalent on campus, which is shocking.
However, at the same time, the teacher found a peculiar phenomenon, that is, although the students showed all kinds of "rebellious" behaviors in their lives, their overall learning pressure and anxiety seemed to be reduced, and some students could even "skip class" for a few days due to family reasons, while the school and teachers turned a blind eye to this.
3. Why do township middle school students feel less anxious?
Many people may be surprised by this phenomenon and think that it seems a bit "unreasonable". So, what is the reason for the decrease in anxiety among rural middle school students?
1. The impact of network products
In today's digital age, a variety of network products have penetrated into people's lives, especially for young students, who are almost inseparable from mobile phones and the Internet.
And it is these online products that allow them to immerse themselves in the "virtual" world anytime and anywhere, escaping all kinds of pressure and distress in real life, thus alleviating their anxiety to a certain extent.
2. Distrust of education
In addition, the family education status of secondary school students in the township is also a very important reason. In many local families, parents' attitudes towards education have been "reversed", and they have begun to gradually "distrust" schools and teachers, believing that education cannot really change the fate of children.
It is precisely because of such psychological hints that many parents often choose to "default" and "let go" when their children have learning problems, rather than actively paying attention to and solving problems, which also invisibly reduces their children's learning pressure.
3. A change in the concept of making money
In addition, there are some students whose families are not particularly wealthy, so deep down, they may have a new understanding of "further education" and "employment".
They began to gradually "reflect" on the meaning and value of education, and felt that learning could no longer serve them the so-called fame and wealth, so they no longer "blindly" pursued scores and rankings as in the past, but paid more attention to their own interests and development.
4. Lack of family education
Of course, the reduction in anxiety among middle school students in townships is also inseparable from some "negative" effects of family education. In today's society, with the imbalance between urban and rural development, many families have seen the phenomenon of "left-behind children" and "single-parent families".
On the other hand, in order to live and work, some parents may "pin" all their "expectations" and "responsibilities" on the school, and ignore their own importance in their children's education, which also makes children gradually develop a "dependency mentality" and do not know how to face and solve problems independently.
5. The decline in the majesty of teachers
In addition, the role and status of teachers have also been "distorted" in township middle schools, and some students have become "aggressive" towards teachers, and even "attack teachers".
This phenomenon also reflects the decline of teachers' "majesty" in the hearts of students, and their lack of respect and trust for teachers, which is undoubtedly a "great" interference and destruction for the school's education and teaching work.
4. How to re-examine the function and significance of education?
It can be seen that this "change" of middle school students in townships and towns actually puts forward some very important thoughts and enlightenments for us.
On the one hand, students' negative attitudes towards education reflect some "pain points" and "problems" in the current education system, and also pose challenges to how to re-examine the "function" and "meaning" of education.
In today's ever-changing society, the speed of updating and iteration of knowledge and technology is getting faster and faster, and the traditional "test-oriented education" seems to be unable to keep up with the pace of the times, and the challenges and competition faced by students are far more than just scores and academic qualifications.
Therefore, we should realize that the significance of education is not only to "deliver" knowledge and information, but to truly stimulate students' interest and creativity, cultivate their comprehensive quality and ability, so that they have the ability to "learn for life" and bravely face all challenges in the future.
On the other hand, the "missing" of family education in the township has also sounded the alarm for us, family and school are very important parts of children's growth, and the power of these two kinds of education also needs to be "complementary" and "joint efforts".
Therefore, we should pay more attention to the importance of family education, whether it is the school or the society, we should provide more support and help for the development of family education, guide parents to treat education correctly, let them understand their unique role in the growth of children, and work together for the healthy and happy growth of children.
In addition, the role and status of teachers also need to be more "cared for" and "cared for", only by making teachers "respected", can we establish a correct "outlook on learning" and "outlook on life" in the hearts of students, and can we better promote the development of education.
epilogue
The introduction of the "double reduction" policy is undoubtedly a "correction" and "reflection" on the current education situation, and it also puts forward many important educational issues for us, such as how to reduce students' homework burden, how to standardize off-campus training, and how to re-examine the function and significance of education......
In this process, it is more important to be able to truly "pay attention" to and "listen" to students' voices, understand their real needs and confusions, and give them more understanding and support, so that every child can thrive in the warm sunshine.
Finally, I also hope that through the efforts of each of us, we can add a touch of "bright" color to the development of education and the bright future of children.
