Summer vacation is coming, and in the summer vacation notice issued by local education departments, "arranging summer vacation sports homework" has become "standard". In the "Bright Action Work Plan for the Prevention and Control of Myopia in Children and Adolescents (2021-2025)" jointly issued by the Ministry of Education and 15 other departments a few days ago, it is also clearly proposed to "fully implement the winter and summer vacation student sports homework system to guide parents to create a good family sports atmosphere." ”
If the youth is strong, China is strong. Through physical exercise, teenagers can enjoy fun, strengthen their physique, improve their personality, and temper their will. In recent years, primary and secondary schools around the world have paid more and more attention to physical activities in schools, not only opening up sufficient physical education classes, but also basically ensuring that students have at least one hour of physical activity time in school every day.
According to statistics, the overall myopia rate of children and adolescents in China in 2019 was 50.2%, down 3.4 percentage points from 2018. Although affected by the epidemic, the overall myopia rate of children and adolescents in 2020 increased slightly compared with 2019, but it still decreased compared with 2018. Strengthening outdoor activities and physical exercise for young people has achieved initial results.
When the holidays come, how to ensure the exercise time of teenagers? Holiday sports homework came into being. With homework as a lever, on the one hand, it can urge teenagers to adhere to physical exercise and enhance physical fitness, on the other hand, parents can also be guided to cultivate their children's sports interest during the holidays, so that they can learn a certain sport, cultivate the habit of lifelong sports, and even drive parents and children to move together to create a family sports atmosphere.
Of course, how to make holiday sports homework is not a passive "punch card", but to truly stimulate the initiative of children's sports, but also requires the careful design of each school. A "one-size-fits-all" uniform arrangement is not advisable, but a variety of summer sports assignments should be arranged for children, encouraging them to try different exercise styles and sports, so that they have more choices and more fun.
Compared with the subject homework that can be reflected on paper, the completion of sports homework requires more supervision and cooperation from parents, which also requires summer sports homework to be more flexible and more able to encourage parent-child interaction. In addition to the necessary sports training operations, watching sports competitions, participating in skills training, hiking and climbing and other colorful holiday activities should also become an important part of holiday sports assignments, so that children's holidays have more colorful sports elements.
