Parents are afraid of losing at the starting line, what are the advantages and disadvantages of letting their children go to cram school?

Advantages and disadvantages of students attending cram schools

Pro: Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to attending cram school. Tell students who love learning that going to cram school can learn more knowledge and broaden their horizons. There is also a constraint on students who are not good at learning, so that they can have a good learning state, avoid the situation that they don't understand in class and are not taught after class, and perhaps explore their inner potential.

On the contrary: in the eyes of parents, it is all for the good of children, so that children can have a good tomorrow and a good future. In their eyes, learning is the whole life of children, and they are afraid that children will delay learning when they play. This kind of life is undoubtedly very monotonous, boring and boring, which is obviously contrary to our playful nature. Without adjustment, life will be as dull as the dishes we eat without salt. Some students can only play secretly in fear, or play while studying. At the same time, it also brings a new problem that makes many parents anxious and confused: children always muddle along in their studies. When children can't see the prospect of leisure, can't they just muddle along and play by themselves? Playing is a child's nature and our desire. It's really good to make children like gyroscopes, have no time to stop, stay at home like they are in a hurry, and then go to another cram school soon.

On the contrary, the weekend is a long-term study by the National Education Bureau. Find two days to relax on the seventh day of each week, so that children and adults can relax their nerves in their study and work, but most people's weekends are occupied by rigid study! If it is necessary to study on weekends, why doesn't the Education Bureau designate seven days a week as study? Adults have a point: "You can't let children lose at the starting line. If you want to keep up, you have to learn!" "It seems reasonable! But as revealed in The Old Man in the Sea, people tried to distort the original rules of the world and were finally punished. Old peanuts squeeze oil! Forced, not what you want. Does it work? It is difficult for your own ideas to become others' ideas. Please pay attention to your parents! There are no poor students, only unqualified and defective teachers and parents. Understanding children is a hunger and a problem that parents must definitely pay attention to! The weekend is your own! Don't be compromised by others! So we don't think we should go to cram school on weekends.

In recent years, under the slogan "No matter how poor you are, you can't have poor children", the tutor market is very popular. Many teachers bring all kinds of students at home, and some teachers introduce students to each other, euphemistically saying: mutual help and mutual benefit. You can see leaflets posted on the stairs or advertising columns of every household, such as "Parents who need tutoring, please contact me." I have also heard of the ups and downs of many parents asking for a tutor. Most of them graduated from high school, and later graduated from junior high school. Now primary school students are also asking for tutors. Parents want their children not to lose at the "starting line". However, parents don't really know their children. I just don't want to lose. Is it necessary to hire a tutor? I don't ask my children's opinions, and I don't think "it's better than nothing." As a result, the money was spent, but the "buyers" were complaining.

Students attending cram schools on weekends do more harm than good.

I think it's better to ask the tutor or the class teacher. Be careful in class. If not, you can ask. If you review in time, you don't have to go to cram school.

It's good to go to cram school. Look, I am in English cram school every week, so my English is better. Lol recommends you to go too: shake hands.

Of course, I am positive: because weekend cram schools can consolidate knowledge, and you can ask your tutor for questions you don't understand in class. (But we can also ask the teacher: l: l: l: l: l: o: o: d: d: d: d: d: d hee hee) But going to cram school on weekends is also harmful to us, because going to cram school after class on Monday and Friday is also harmful to us.

Now in junior high school, homework has increased more or less, and learning is not as easy as before. After finishing the homework assigned by the teacher on the rest day, we should have a rest and have some fun.

Only in this way can work and rest be combined.

In fact, if a person knows how to arrange, he will never give up extra-curricular study just because of a little bit, because they believe that time is squeezed out, reasonable arrangement of time can still combine work and rest, and tutoring can increase knowledge. Why not?

We are now in a period of growth and development. If we are too tired, it is not good for growth and development! Do you want us to freak out?

Anti-China immigrants, whether from Chinese mainland, Hongkong or Taiwan Province Province, take it for granted that family education is a part of their children's education.

According to the data of the Census and Statistics Department of Hong Kong, the tuition expenses of students in Hong Kong have increased sharply, and the overall tuition expenses have increased by 25% in five years. Last year, this figure was about HK$ 300 million per month. Calculated by 1 year class hours and 10 months, the annual tuition expenses of all students in Hong Kong are as high as 3 billion.

In this summer vacation, the competition in tutorial schools is particularly fierce. In addition to sending a large number of "star tutors" to publicize and grab students, major tutorial schools also broke out, and a series of lawsuits about recovering tuition fees and dividends were set off. And a series of lawsuits have revealed that the income of "star tutors" in Hong Kong is even richer than expected. For example, K.Oten, an English tutor, gets a monthly commission.

The popularity of cram schools in Hong Kong is related to the incorrect concept of cram schools in the whole society. General cram schools mainly teach knowledge and help students solve difficult problems in their homework. The salaries of teachers who teach in these cram schools are basically the same as those of teachers in their schools.

The cram schools in Hong Kong, which are famous for their tuition fees, include modern education, imperial education and compliance schools. Many of the tuition kings who enjoy the "astronomical" salary only graduated from middle school, so it is difficult to be a teacher. However, because they don't focus on teaching textbook knowledge, they focus on analyzing the test questions and grading standards of the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination and the Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination in the past ten years, and then tell students which ones need to be reviewed and which ones don't. Encourage students to review selectively. In addition, they will provide a large number of simulated test papers for students to practice and analyze their answering skills, so their teaching results are completely practical. The skills that students learn in cram schools are naturally not knowledge, but exam skills.

The reason why the author puts forward "Hong Kong-style course" here is because this method is not unique to Hong Kong. In Chinese mainland or Taiwan Province Province, a considerable number of tutorial schools aim at pursuing exam results. This unhealthy way of supplementary education is rightfully eroding and subverting our original educational concept. The conclusion is that in a society where tutoring is not popular, if your child chooses tutoring, the result will inevitably be that others will get high marks more easily. But when everyone is memorizing, the average score goes up. If your children don't take extra lessons, their grades will naturally fall behind others.

At present, there are no fewer than 30 cram schools in the market, including abacus mental arithmetic, Olympic mathematics, English classes, special classes of art, dance and music, advanced classes of physical mathematics, etc ... all kinds of names; Advertisements can be seen everywhere in front of schools, downtown areas and residential areas. How about the academic performance of the make-up students at school? Are they all voluntary? What age group do most of them belong to? Where did they all come from? Do summer cram schools have many advantages or disadvantages? With these questions, the author launched a three-day "unannounced visit".

High, middle and low grades are uneven.

According to the survey, some students who attend cram schools do not get good grades and need extra efforts. Many students have excellent grades, but they also come to this place. Does he really need to make up? Of course, the answer is no. In addition, we also found that the families of students who signed up for tutoring were generally rich, while there were few children in rural areas. Will this widen the gap between urban and rural areas and the gap between the rich and the poor in another form? Will this cause educational inequality in another sense? This is all worth thinking about.

The polarization is serious, and most of them are forced.

In the process of investigation, the author found that the polarization of tutorial students is serious, from five years old who just went to kindergarten to senior three, most of them are senior three, and there are fewer junior high school students in the middle. "How nice it is to let children learn more things that they can't learn in school during the summer vacation, develop their potential and promote all-round development!" Many parents say this when answering why their children are sent to cram schools at such a young age, while more high school students "steal" their studies for fear of falling behind in the college entrance examination.

Experts suggest standardizing guidance to cool down the "family education fever"

With the coming of winter vacation, the tutor market is booming again, and topics related to tutor have once again become the focus of people's attention. Although in recent years, some local education administrative departments have issued a "ban" on teachers' paid tutoring, it is puzzling that while applauding the "ban" policy, the tutoring market has not stopped, such as "high-priced tutoring", "full-time tutoring" and "preschool tutoring".

Paid tutoring has been repeatedly banned.

In order to improve teachers' professional ethics, Dezhou Ercun Primary School in Pudong, Shanghai once launched the "Teacher's Ethics Commitment" throughout the school, clearly saying "no" to eight behaviors such as paid tutoring, and parents have the right to report. Once the report is confirmed to be true, the school will punish the parties by withholding bonuses and not evaluating excellent grades according to different situations.

However, in the face of the school's behavior, although parents generally recognize the school's practices, once their children are involved, they have a small plan in their hearts. A parent believes that as long as the teacher is willing to tutor the children, he will not only tell the school, but also resolutely keep the teacher secret. What are the reasons for parents' "duplicity"?

Sun, deputy director of the Youth Research Institute of Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences and deputy director of the Shanghai Family Education Research Center, said: "In addition to factors such as intensified social competition, unequal educational resources, parents' comparison psychology and conformity psychology, the lack of school education is also an important reason for the strong demand for family education." . He believes that not only students with poor grades now ask for tutoring, but also some students with good grades will ask for tutoring. If you can't get targeted teaching and guidance from teachers at school, parents may find a tutor. In addition, if students and parents can't meet the needs of school education, such as instrumental music, dance, model airplane, etc., they will also find a tutor. "

Cui, an associate professor of psychology at East China Normal University, said: "Family education exists not only in China, but also in Japan, South Korea and other countries, because in eastern culture, parents regard their children as' private property' and constantly arrange their children to learn more knowledge to make them' value-added'."

The advantages and disadvantages of tutoring need to be viewed comprehensively.

During the interview, the reporter heard many parents' statements, such as "children can get answers in time if they have problems, and they can get more knowledge from teachers if they have no problems", "requiring family education can make children feel safe and eliminate their fear of exams" and so on. Is that really the case?

An empirical study on the relationship between academic burden and academic performance conducted by Shanghai Academy of Educational Sciences shows that students' academic performance is not directly proportional to the number of times they are invited to tutor, and students who are invited to tutor too often may not have good academic performance.

The subjects of this survey are 6505 students from 23 primary and secondary schools in five districts of Shanghai. Among the respondents, 38.7% of primary and secondary school students attend paid tutoring or remedial classes outside school. In the investigation of seventh grade students, it is found that students who have no tutor have the best grades, and the more times they tutor, the worse their grades are. When tutors or remedial classes are held more than three times a week, their grades drop significantly.

Dr. Tang, the person in charge of the project and the Shanghai Academy of Educational Sciences, told the reporter that good academic performance can not be obtained by blindly increasing the study time. "So whether children need to ask for a tutor, they must first seek their own opinions, and secondly, it will vary from person to person."

Experts point out that tutoring can help some children learn, but the negative effects can not be ignored: children's self-esteem will be hurt and their self-confidence will be shaken; Tutoring can also make children feel dependent, leading to poor quality of classroom lectures. More importantly, tutoring increases children's learning burden and takes up the already meager spare time.

Sun also raised his own concerns: "Some parents find full-time tutors for their children, which is a misunderstanding of education. Family education and school education cannot be replaced by family education. " He suggested that parents should put more energy into helping their children develop good study habits.

Normative guidance is better than hard plugging.

"When a demand rises to a mass level, it must have its realistic rationality, and simply hoping to ban it will not achieve the expected effect," Cui said. She believes that we should also have a peaceful attitude towards the "family education craze". Although there are some problems in family education, its strong pertinence does make up for the deficiency of current school education in meeting individual needs to some extent.

A study by Mark Berry, president of the World Federation of Comparative Education Societies, shows that extracurricular tutoring, including tutoring, has become a huge industry in many Asian countries. A report from Japan shows that 24% of primary school students and 60% of middle school students have participated in tutoring. In 2003, the annual income of private counseling institutions in Korea reached US$ 6,543.8+US$ 02.4 billion.

"Normative guidance is an effective way to solve difficult problems. Simple shielding will only give illegal organizations and individuals an opportunity, "Sun said. He believes that on the one hand, classroom teaching should be the starting point. Schools should strengthen management, pay close attention to classroom teaching order and teaching efficiency, arrange teachers to answer questions for students in their spare time, pay close attention to the construction of teachers' morality, improve students' comprehensive quality as much as possible, and create various learning environments and resources. On the other hand, while institutionalizing and standardizing the existing tutor market, the government can set up tutor service departments at the district and county levels to examine the qualifications of tutors, register and make them public.

In addition, teachers and parents also put forward suggestions: I hope to set up a tutor management center to strengthen the evaluation and management of tutors, and tutors must hold certificates; City, district and county governments and schools should establish three-level management rules and regulations. If teachers are not serious and responsible in school teaching, the government should have clear regulations on how to deal with them. Establish a perfect avoidance system, and teachers are not allowed to give paid tutoring to our students; At the same time, reform the contents and methods of the entrance examination. (Ji Lin)

First, it is easy to increase the extra burden on children subjectively, because after all, the school has arranged holiday homework.

Second, the cram school is loose in learning, which may not have a good effect on the knowledge that needs to be memorized, and may even be counterproductive.

Third, many cram schools are not standardized, especially the teachers in cram schools can not be guaranteed, the learning effect can not be guaranteed, the correctness of learning methods and teaching methods and the guidance for children's learning can not be guaranteed.

Fourth, children have different personalities. Forcing children with strong self-study ability to attend remedial classes may stifle their interest in learning.

The existence of cram schools is the result of our current education system. In today's exam-oriented education, our children's choices are passive. After all, the competition for survival is cruel. What can we give our children? It is the best choice for children to master the ability to adapt to competition. If you don't have a lot of money, even so, let your children master the skills that society needs. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish! Our children have a summer vacation and we have to go to work. Children's self-discipline in learning is not high, so they are kept at home and basically waste their time watching TV or playing games online. Moreover, the exam pressure is so great that the school does not organize make-up classes, so it can enroll children in summer training classes in the society, which can not only urge children to study, but also reassure us. "Therefore, some parents of students said that summer training courses should be organized in a combination of blocking and sparse.
