Should parents let their children enroll in classes or interest classes?

Whenever the school season begins, the busiest people are always your precious parents. They should not only help their children to handle all the matters of starting school, but also help them choose suitable interest classes and cram schools.

In recent years, various training courses have mushroomed around us. Every time parents pass by the school gate, there will be a pile of advertising leaflets for training courses in their hands. Looking at these thick leaflets that can be used as yellow pages, many parents will feel headache.

How to choose interest classes and cram schools for children has become a big problem for parents. Of course, before we enroll our children in the training class, we must be clear about the purpose of attending the training class.

First, what is missing? When parents choose interest classes and cram schools for their children, the first thing they should consider is which aspect of their children is weak. Because for children, the improvement of academic performance is the most important thing.

Some parents, when choosing training courses, like to get a "family bucket" and win all English, mathematics, physics and chemistry. In fact, this is not right, because children don't have so much energy and time to complete this training course. Secondly, it is actually the weakest subject that affects children's grades, so blind registration can not only help children improve their grades, but also distract children's energy, which is not worth the candle.

I wonder if you have heard of the barrel effect? It is the length of the shortest board that affects the amount of water in a barrel.

If we compare the scores of all subjects to the boards that make up the barrel, we will compare the water in the barrel to the total scores of children. Then what affects the child's total score is actually the length of the shortest board, which is the quality of the weakest subject.

If the purpose of the training course is to improve your grades, it is more effective to cram the "short board" than to improve the grades of strong subjects.

Second, interested In order to cultivate training courses to improve academic performance, many parents turned their attention to training courses dedicated to cultivating children's interests.

With the improvement of education level, the gap between outstanding students is getting smaller and smaller now. In order to make their children more competitive at an early age, parents have shifted the "battlefield" for further studies to hobbies, and there is an available talent that will make their children add a lot of points when they go to school.

However, once the children have finished the entrance examination, these interests, which were originally cultivated at a high price and great energy, will be stopped by parents on the grounds that they will affect their studies until they give up.

Learning itself is a matter of combining work and rest. It is cruel to let children give up their hobbies for the sake of learning. As parents, we should not only stop children's hobbies, but also actively cultivate them.

Third, cultivate "ability" instead of getting high marks. Many parents believe that the purpose of study is to get high marks, let children get high marks in every subject, and then get into a good school.

Admittedly, test scores are really important, which is one of the marks to judge students' grades. But it is wrong to take high marks as the purpose of study.

The main purpose of learning is to cultivate children's ability, not to make children become examination machines.

Just like mathematics, the process of solving mathematical problems is far more important than the final answer. If you follow the right steps and get the wrong final result, you can get most points, but you get the right final result and the wrong answer steps. You still only get poor 1 and 2 points.

Steps represent that children are thinking with mathematical thinking, and the answer is only the natural product of children thinking with mathematical thinking.

In addition, parents need to adjust their mentality after clarifying the purpose of the training class.

First, don't follow the trend and compare with others. Many parents like to ask around when they sign up for training classes.

But what they inquired about was not whether the training class was good or not, but that Wang Jiejia's daughter signed up for a jazz dance class last year and won the third prize for children at the municipal level. Li Ge's son signed up for an oral English class and won the second prize for singing English songs at the school cultural performance. Listening to these "success stories", these parents are desperate to send their children to interest classes and cram schools, expecting the same success to befall their children.

These parents have a common problem, that is, they think that if other children learn well, then their children will certainly learn well. But they forget that every child is a unique angel, and the same success is hard to replicate.

Second, don't impose your will on your children. Parents must listen to their children's opinions when choosing training courses. Some parents never ask their children what they like, but choose for them according to their own judgment. Especially in the choice of some hobby training courses.

If parents think piano is good, they will give piano lessons to their children. Parents think calligraphy is good, so they give their children calligraphy lessons. However, when children tell their parents that they prefer drum sets and painting, their parents say, "I'm an adult, listen to me."

However, children are the main body of learning.

Therefore, parents should listen to their children's opinions when choosing training courses. Don't let children be full of patience and compromise in the process of learning.

Third, don't rush for success, focus on results. I once knew such a precious mother. Like most treasure moms now, she regards the education of her children as the top priority of the whole family. When the baby was only 3 years old, this precious mother had already prepared the education curriculum for the next three years. 3-year-old crash course in oral English, 4-year-old crash course in piano and 5-year-old crash course in calligraphy. ...

Looking at this full list of study plans, I asked doubtfully, "Why are they all crash courses?" There is still a sentence in my heart that I haven't asked, "Can I really learn spoken English, piano or calligraphy in just one year?"

Bao Ma looked at my doubts and showed a trace of pride. I only heard her say, "Ordinary classes are taught too slowly, and you may not be able to finish one course in a few years. But this crash course is different. Although it's a little expensive, it takes effect quickly. Take this piano for example. They assured me that the child would play at least one Croatian rhapsody within a year. Come to a song when you take the kindergarten exam, and by the way, come to a few brush characters, and the child will definitely be bright. "

Looking at this baby mother's excitement, I silently shook my head. This precious mother is not "lonely", because countless parents, like her, are pursuing the maximization of "learning efficiency".

But such learning efficiency is not good for children, and learning is a step-by-step process. But the crash course skipped the process and stuffed the results directly into the child's brain. Can such learning be called learning?

Parents have adjusted their mentality and it's time to choose a training class. So what kind of interest classes and cram schools are the best?

First, teachers are the core of interest classes and cram schools. All parents hope that their children can improve their abilities and achievements through training courses.

However, teachers in many training institutions on the market are looking for college students. It may be no problem for such teachers to help children with their homework, but it is not enough for them to improve their grades and abilities.

Excellent teachers not only have rich teaching experience, but also have unique teaching methods, and can find the most suitable method for children and pass the teaching content to their memories and minds.

Second, the teaching hardware conditions are good. In addition to teachers, education also pays attention to teaching hardware conditions. A good hardware condition can not only help children improve their learning efficiency, but also reflect the strength and teachers of training institutions.

The better the teaching hardware, the richer the training institutions, which proves that the training institutions are more capable of recruiting more excellent teachers.

When parents choose interest classes and cram schools for their children, they should make clear the purpose of the training class, adjust their mentality, and then choose a good training class for their children so that they can have a good start in the new semester.
