The difference between kindergarten and primary school
The gap between kindergarten and primary education is still very large, as follows:

(1) began to study and live formally, and the requirements were raised. Kindergarten is an institution that pays equal attention to education, with games as its main form of activity. Children are mainly engaged in flexible, free and interesting activities, and teachers have less constraints on children, which is not as good as school education norms. Primary schools are institutions that implement compulsory education, and classes are the main form of activities. They must carry out systematic cultural knowledge education in accordance with the teaching plan, syllabus and teaching materials uniformly stipulated by the state to meet certain quality requirements.

(2) Kindergarten children know the world around them in various interesting activities. Teachers don't grade children, so there is no pressure, let alone a sense of responsibility for learning. After children enter primary school, learning becomes a social obligation, and they begin to systematically accept the basic knowledge of various subjects and carry out basic learning ability training. This is the responsibility of society, forcing children to learn not only the courses they are interested in, but also the contents they are not interested in, and

(3) The transition of learning content from oral language to written language requires the intention and abstraction of psychological activities, which is quite difficult.

(4) The school implements the enrollment rate and repetition system, and the learning level is measured by scores. Scores will be evaluated by people around you and rewarded and punished by adults. Competition among children will inevitably cause stress, tension and emotional fear.

(5) Changes in the life system. A day's life in kindergarten is dominated by games. Exercise is carried out alternately, and there is only one hour of class (or group education) every day. The rest of the time is mainly games, and there are two hours of siesta. In addition to reading in the morning, primary school students have 3 ~ 4 classes in the morning and 1 ~ 2 classes in the afternoon, with breaks. The game is short, and a nap is not guaranteed. Therefore, the child's physical and mental burden is aggravated, and he is very tired and unwilling to attend classes.

(6) changes in the relationship between teachers and students. In kindergarten, teachers care about children like mothers, and care about their sleep, life, diet and cleanliness. They have a lot of personal contact with children, and the relationship between teachers and children is close and harmonious. After children enter primary school, the individual communication between teachers and children is reduced and their attitude is more serious.

(7) the change of living environment. Kindergarten's living environment pays attention to entertainment and fun, and it is relatively free, while most primary schools only have tables and chairs, and the seats are fixed, which lacks strong appeal to children.
