Immigrating to the Netherlands makes children live happier.

Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? Children in Holland are the happiest in the world. This is not what I said, but what UNICEF found. When it comes to children's education, parents in China are very helpless. Many people will sigh: With piles of homework, frequent exams, heavy schoolbags and lack of sleep, what is the real life of Dutch children living in the happiest country? Class arrangement

The primary school system in the Netherlands is 8 years, and children will officially enter the primary school gate when they are 4 years old. Classes begin at 8: 30 in the morning. 10 has fruit and 12 has lunch. In the afternoon 13, the class begins and ends at 14: 30. It is legal to not go to school every Wednesday afternoon in China, in order to let children have more free time to develop extracurricular hobbies.

Although there is not much time at school, these hours are not used for study. Physical education class twice a week, basically indoors, with all the facilities available. As for handicraft classes, they account for a large proportion until junior high school. Both sports and handicrafts participated in the evaluation.

Almost every child has more than two kinds of extracurricular activities: boys have football, hockey, swimming and karate, while girls have hockey, swimming, horseback riding and dancing.

learned

Children's books in the Netherlands have a national uniform difficulty level for children of different ages to choose from. There are no fixed Chinese textbooks during the whole primary school period, only fixed exercise books. Teachers encourage students to read a lot. There is a library in the school, and students choose their own reading materials.

Libraries all over the country are free for children. Books are arranged in an orderly way, and there are various audio-visual works. During primary school, parents usually take their children to the library to borrow books once a week. The school gives each child a reading bag to borrow books and take them home to read. Speaking of homework, this is it.

As a result, by the time they graduated from primary school, the children had read a lot of books. The method of Chinese examination is to list a long vocabulary and test students' reading ability. In addition, students' reading comprehension ability is tested, and the score is 10. Generally speaking, A 10 can be achieved at the highest level after graduating from primary school.

faculty of speech

Chinese teaching in primary schools attaches great importance to public speaking ability. From the lower grades, children often sit together and take turns telling their views on an event to prepare for the formal speech from the fifth grade.

Every school has a stage, in order to cultivate children's ability to express freely in public. This kind of speech starts from the classroom, which can be a reading experience or a free theme. After class, I look up information, draw charts and make beautiful and neat written reports. The school holds a performance every month, and students voluntarily sign up to show their inventions on stage.

Every year before Christmas or summer vacation, the class will write and perform programs. The graduating class also launched a grand drama masterpiece, inviting parents to visit the scene. A student who can't express himself fluently in public is regarded as an unqualified student here, which is an extremely important language ability and can't be proved by scores.

Parent-teacher conference?

At the end of the semester every six months, parents will get a semester report, which records the children's performance in school in detail, including: whether they can communicate with their classmates normally, whether they can finish their homework on their own initiative, whether they can concentrate, whether they are confident, whether they can express themselves clearly, and whether they can do things in an orderly way. , mainly thanks to the teacher's observation and evaluation.

The academic performance in the report is graded: excellent A, excellent B, passing C and failing D. You never know where your child ranks in the class, and the Ministry of Education expressly stipulates that ranking is not allowed. Each student's report was put into a big envelope one by one. Even on the day of the report, the teacher repeatedly stressed that it is not allowed to look at each other and ask each other, in order to protect backwardness and avoid competition.

After receiving the term report, parents will be invited to the school one after another, and they can have a private chat with the teacher for 10 minutes, during which they can communicate with each other, ask questions and explain their requirements. This is the so-called parent-teacher conference in Europe. Parents are customers of the school. Sending children here means that the government will give the school a subsidy, which is also the source of teachers' salaries.

Secondary school diversion?

/kloc-when I graduated from primary school at the age of 0/2, there was a three-day national exam. The exam results are still written in the school report in secret and not publicly announced. Grades are only a reference for students' whereabouts, accounting for about 40%. The usual grades are also an important reference, which is finally decided by the teacher. Although you can decide which middle school to choose, Dutch students are already diverted when they are in middle school. Good students participate in VWO, a six-year project; Second, go to HAVO, a five-year college preparatory course; Most of them go to vocational middle school VMBO for three years.

The biggest advantage of the Dutch education system is that it does not bury talents and does not set scores for success. Once admitted to a vocational secondary school, there is still a chance to enter a college or university again. As long as you study hard, it is never too late. In middle school, extracurricular activities such as sports and handicrafts have not decreased, but have become more colorful. Physical education class is still twice a week, included in the exam results. There are also cooking, painting, photography, philosophy and other minor courses.

Social backing?

Looking at the primary education in the Netherlands, the focus of school education is not academic performance, but all-round development. Especially sound personality, strong body and flexible hands and feet. Academically, teachers focus on helping underachievers and don't encourage top students. In other words, the school trains simple and normal people, not outstanding talents.

From primary school to junior high school, from MengMeng's 4-year-old beginner to his 12-year-old beginner, Dutch primary and secondary education has always been committed to protecting students' complete personality, and never regards heroes as scores. Taking all-round development as the starting point and conveying all kinds of qualified talents to the society as the ultimate goal. At this point, the school is closely connected with the society, and the school eventually becomes the most solid pillar industry of the society.

Without qualified schools, there will be no good society. Social quality is not groundless, and good student quality creates good social quality. Dutch schools try their best to cultivate students' basic qualities, especially basic moral qualities, including love, respect, responsibility, obligation, dedication, dedication, obedience and law-abiding.

Immigrating to the Netherlands will help children learn and grow in a more relaxed and free space and give them a better future!
