English is also a compulsory course for children. Teachers are graduate students and foreign teachers from major universities. Three days a week, foreign churches take children to play games and teach them to make up short stories in English. Surprisingly, the children who have just arrived here for a few weeks can understand the daily spoken English of foreign teachers. A 7-year-old girl even took out a Bible and recited it in fluent English. At present, the charge of this private school is about 2000 yuan per month, and art courses such as painting, calligraphy and piano need to be charged separately. The annual fee may exceed 30,000 yuan.
The purpose of running a full-time private school
edit
1. Provide a happy and healthy learning and growth environment for students. Private schools do not aim at the college entrance examination and do not focus on the examination. Private schools are also different from national studies museums. Guided by western educational ideas, private schools attach importance to physical education and physical health, emphasize students' independent personality, doubt and analysis, emphasize practice, respect students' natural nature, and shape students' confident and optimistic personality.
2. In private schools, there are Chinese, English, vocal music, painting and other courses. Most of the teachers are professors or graduate students from major universities, and there are even many calligraphers and painters. There is no math class at present. It is easy to find a math teacher, but I want to find a good foreign teacher to teach my children math. He won't teach children how to do problems, but only inspire their thinking. I began to think about China's traditional education model. At first, he did experiments on his children, and he was tutoring his daughter in Chinese studies and English. Later, friends around me gradually sent their children to the door. To this end, a family workshop-style private school was formed.
Parents who send their children are all rich. They don't want their children to be bound by the traditional education system, but want to send them abroad in the future. There is also a child who is "eliminated" by the school. Some children can only get 30 points in school and are not liked by teachers. Some textbooks for primary and secondary school students. In fact, children in private schools will also learn traditional textbooks, but it will not take a semester, but a month. Mr. Xia said that in his private school, children need to recite a lot of ancient classics. After the children can learn the classics by heart, the teacher will teach them to understand and interpret them. They only spend 1 month learning traditional textbooks each semester, and most of them are read as children's extracurricular books. For a child with profound classical humanistic accomplishment, traditional textbooks are simply too simple.
Official attitude towards full-time private schools
edit
Ministry of education of full-time private schools
The education department is suspected of running schools in violation of regulations. Chengdu Education Bureau expressed strong opposition to Mr. Xia's private school. The relevant person in charge of the Regulations Department of the Municipal Education Bureau said that the current educational model of Teacher Xia's private school violates the provisions of China's Compulsory Education Law, and the current form is illegal. According to the Compulsory Education Law, all children over the age of 6 must receive compulsory education, and private primary and secondary schools enrolled in compulsory education must also meet the government's requirements in terms of funds, school hardware, teacher software and number of students. The person in charge said that Mr. Xia's private school was suspected of running schools in violation of regulations and should be stopped.
Full-time private schools and parents
Some school principals and teachers believe that this kind of private school is closed in the family environment, and they can't learn much patriotism education, and they can't guarantee students' military training and other activities. More importantly, many abilities that children need to cultivate in school, such as self-reliance and getting along with others, will be lacking, which is extremely unfavorable to their growth.
Views of all parties in full-time private schools
edit
Attitude of parents in full-time private schools
It is too risky for parents to choose this model. Regarding this ban, Mr. Xia believes that the essence of education is to impart knowledge to students. As long as what the dolls learn can meet the needs of the future, it is not a problem. He even strongly stated that it is not a problem for children in private schools to participate in exam-oriented education after finishing their studies. At the same time, parents' attitudes are different. The parents of a child studying in this private school told reporters that they all sent their children voluntarily. The most important thing is that these children find fun in their studies. He believes that this private school does not violate the state's compulsory education policy, because what the professor tells the students fully meets the requirements of compulsory education. Some parents also said that this kind of private school is only a way of studying or educating at home and should not be framed by the relevant provisions of "running schools by social forces". But at the same time, some parents think that this kind of private school can't judge the future effect and influence on children. After all, at present, it seems that education in China still has to follow the traditional education mode, and it is too risky for parents to choose this mode.
The future of full-time private schools
How far can full-time private schools go? Meng Mu Hall, which was quietly opened in Shanghai for nearly a year, completely replaced primary education with private school education, which aroused strong debates from all walks of life. On the one hand, many parents call the Morning Post and ask how to sign up. On the other hand, the education authorities gave the Meng Mu Auditorium a red light yesterday. Chen Jian, head of the General Education Department of Minhang District Education Bureau, said that if illegal school running is verified, it will be handled according to regulations. Meng Mu-style private school teaching is a way for like-minded parents to educate their children. The expenses are shared equally by parents, while teachers' salaries are paid by parents according to the current teacher market in ordinary schools. Judging from the requirement that "private primary and secondary schools that recruit students in compulsory education must meet the government's requirements in terms of funds, school building hardware, teacher software and number of students", "Meng Mu Hall" certainly does not have the qualification to implement compulsory education for school-age students. However, "Meng Mu Hall", an innovative educational method, has aroused great interest from parents. Obviously, "Meng Mu Concert Hall" has its success.
The current teaching mode in China, which focuses on exam-oriented education, once caused social criticism. The curriculum of "Meng Mu Hall" better highlights the strengthening of students' personality, and the cultivation of students' comprehensive quality is not necessarily worse than that of regular educational institutions. Although there is a big gap between "Meng Mu Hall" and regular educational institutions according to relevant laws and regulations, as long as "Meng Mu Hall" can ensure students' personal safety and improve their comprehensive quality, we should allow its existence and encourage its development. The purpose of education is to improve people's comprehensive quality. Hardware is just a symbol, and it is fundamental to improve people's overall quality.
