In some people's impression, skill classes are only for students with poor academic performance, or because choosing skill classes has advantages for some higher vocational education channels, it is completely equivalent to learning higher vocational education.
However, junior high school skill class is not only the outpost of higher vocational education, but also the channel for parents and children to do career exploration together.
There is a New North Art Education Center in Xiao Xian Campus of Danshui Zhengde Junior High School. You Peiqi, the school director who has dealt with art education for many years, cited the students she had contacted as examples. It is true that 80% to 90% of children who have taken art classes will go to higher vocational colleges, but the art education in junior high school focuses on "exploration" and the learning content will not be too deep. She felt that everyone should have access to it, and said: "Art education is the most closely related to life. Why can't everyone learn? " Skin care, basic makeup, I think this is also very practical! 」
The daughter of Ye, a teacher of Kaohsiung Minquan Primary School, is in the ninth grade of junior high school. He encouraged her to take skills classes in order to enrich her children's experience, hoping that through different aspects of extracurricular exploration, children could find what they like. "I'm not saying that going to a skills class is just for extra points, so I put my children in a specific occupation so early. The child's sexual orientation is sometimes uncertain, but [encouraging her to attend skills classes] is to explore, "Ye Shi Sheng shared.

Do you want your children to go to skills classes? Is it helpful to attend the skills class in the future? Parents often have a lot of confusion about skill classes. Through the sharing of skills teachers, parents and teachers, the following suggestions have been sorted out:
1. Observe children's performance after class: Hu Zhining, a junior high school teacher in Ying Ge, New Taipei City, will observe children's interest orientation, pay attention to students' performance in fine arts, home economics, life technology and other courses, talk to teachers about students' situation, or observe students' weekly records to discover students' potential interests and specialties.
Parents who are not sure whether their children are interested in skills classes that require a lot of hands-on work may wish to observe their children's performance in art classes. If their children bring their works back, they can also talk to him about their lessons and get to know their children from different aspects.
2. Don't deny that "learning this has no future" at the first time: as soon as a child starts to learn hairdressing, parents in different work fields may immediately worry: "Will you learn this?" Shi Zhenzhen, a beauty and hairdressing teacher at the New Taipei Skills Education Center, said that parents often worry about "no future for hairdressing" and "whether to wash their hair all their lives". Shi Zhenzhen, an insider, analyzed that after studying the Department of Beauty and Hairdressing, she obtained a degree in management after several years of practical experience. In the future, she can hold the post of beauty administrative department. However, due to past impressions, some parents may not be clear about the current hairdressing work.
In the skills class, teachers will introduce the future work possibilities of professional groups, and children can expand their understanding of professional groups. Parents may wish to talk to their children about their work in the skills class, or collect relevant resources themselves and explore with parents.
3. Does the skill class delay the course or find the direction? Ninth-grade students are also preparing for HKCEE, so some parents are also worried about whether attending skills classes will affect their children's study. Ye's child is attending a skills class, and he thinks whether this will affect his study will be related to his personal attitude towards the exam. If children attend skills classes to explore and have a plan for normal study, the impact may not be so great.
Another possibility is that children are enthusiastic because they find interest. "The child is very involved in this class (skill class), will it delay homework?" I think so, too, but he found the motivation. Do you want your children to have no motivation to go to school all the way? Ye, who has seen countless students confused about their career choices, puts forward another way of thinking.
4. Confirm the children's learning situation from the contact book of the skill class: some students will be influenced by their friends to go to the skill class instead of really wanting to learn. Chen Peiru, a junior high school teacher of Xingya who usually combines Chinese classes with career education, will share it. As the head teacher, she will first ask the children what they expect to learn in the skills class. And observe the learning situation through the weekly skills class written by students. If children scribble on the contact book every time, Chen Peiru will also discourage them, "because you don't even know what the goal is," she said. ?
Whether it's practicing a skill persistently, Or maintain a good service attitude in the process of catering and tourism? Parents in ....................................................................................................................................................... may wish to chat with their children from the skill class contact book and observe their learning mentality. If they really have no intention to study, they may delay their time and occupy the resources of the skill class.
