Once this exposure draft was released, it caused a heated discussion. Should children receive advanced education? A total of 96,000 people voted, and more than 30,000 people felt that they should and should not, which was almost the same.
This voting activity just reflects the entanglement of parents now. On the one hand, education experts are emphasizing? Higher education? It is harmful to children, and on the other hand, there is the actual situation that children rise to small size. Parents are in a dilemma and feel that how to choose is wrong.
I have actually experienced this kind of entanglement, but fortunately, I have many friends who study education around me. After talking to them, I soon figured it out.
Kindergarten? Elementary school? The harm began to be exposed after the second grade.
Why do most countries in the world start formal school education at the age of six or seven, and almost all children are not allowed to enter school in advance?
This is because early childhood educators and child psychologists have already proved through experiments that children's physical and mental development before the age of 6 is not enough to support them to learn knowledge.
Psychologically, Professor Montessori, a child educator, put forward in the book Charming Mind that the focus of education for 0-6 years old is to develop children's personality and potential.
Physiologically, children's bones are not fully developed before the age of 6, and hand muscles may not be able to support children to hold pens and write for a long time.
Therefore, under the influence of advanced education, children may have more knowledge reserves in a short time, but their curiosity about the world is suppressed and the habit of active learning is not developed; The potential of the brain has not been fully developed.
In the first and second grades of primary school, you can still maintain good grades by advanced learning knowledge. However, after the second grade, the schoolwork gradually increases and the spare time decreases, which will only make it more and more difficult for children.
Moreover, because the child learns to write too early, his physical development is not enough to support him to use the correct posture and method of exertion, so he is more prone to scribble and overexert writing habits, which may be difficult to correct in the future.
Isn't kindergarten for children? Play around? !
Besides, kindergartens are forbidden? Elementary school? Doesn't mean the child is in kindergarten? Play around? It is clearly pointed out in the draft preschool education law that children should gain experience in kindergartens by getting close to nature, practical operation and personal experience, so as to promote their development in health, language, society, science and art.
In other words, children should develop good living habits in kindergarten; Cultivate curiosity and thirst for knowledge; Understand common sense of life and science; Learn to socialize; Inspire potential through art?
These abilities do not seem to directly help children get high marks, but they are actually the most basic and suitable abilities for preschool children. These are just like the foundations of high-rise buildings. With this foundation, it is easy for children to accumulate knowledge and build their own knowledge building after entering school.
