According to a number of media reports, since the beginning of school in autumn, the labor curriculum has been written into the new curriculum of many schools. Many schools actively develop labor courses, including not only classified storage, garbage sorting, making delicious food, planting fruits and vegetables, etc. But there are also some schools that let students participate in library management, canteens and so on. Or organize students to participate in club management and carry out professional experience in their spare time.

According to the Compulsory Education Curriculum Plan and Compulsory Education Labor Curriculum Standard (2022 Edition) issued by the Ministry of Education, labor has officially become an independent course in primary and secondary schools since the fall semester this year, with an average of no less than 1 class hour per week. A few months ago, when the new curriculum standard of compulsory education labor class was published in 2022, it once caused a heated discussion in the society, and all walks of life were full of imagination and expectation for the labor class to enter the campus. Today, with the emergence of labor classes in many places, some netizens said that they "envy today's children, and campus labor is no longer just physical strength and cleaning."

In many places, it is a process of collecting opinions from all sides and constantly building consensus to explore and try the content and form of labor classes. It is not difficult to find that labor classes in many places in the new semester are pragmatic and grounded, paying attention to practicality, participation and experience, which is in line with the original intention of labor classes-compulsory education labor classes, that is, taking rich and open labor projects as the carrier, with the focus on purposefully and planned organizing students to participate in daily life labor, productive labor and service labor, so that students can practice, sweat, exercise and temper their will, and cultivate their correct labor values and good will quality.

For many adults, most of the labor education they received at school when they were young was pulling weeds, mopping the floor and cleaning the classroom glass on the playground before school started. Nowadays, how to adapt to the characteristics of the times and the needs of students, pay attention to operability and sustainability, and make the labor class knowledgeable, interesting and meaningful, which tests the wisdom of local education departments and schools, and also depends on the support and cooperation of all walks of life.

At present, the labor courses offered in many places are quite enlightening. Some places integrate local regional resources and carry out labor practices such as picking tea, cutting rice and picking rice ears according to local conditions. In some places, courses such as "bridge model design and production" and "gas mask production" have been set up in combination with students' interests and social hotspots. In some places, the society is encouraged to establish various practice bases, open visits and let students participate in relevant labor experiences. Some places also actively develop labor education courses, compile school-based teaching materials, collect excellent curriculum design schemes and courseware, form resource sharing packages, and so on.

The labor class is "new" and the effect is worth looking forward to. It is necessary for relevant parties to further understand the value of labor classes, run labor classes well, not just labor classes, but also carry out labor education through more disciplines and life education. For example, students can learn about ancient labor scenes, model workers in the new era and craftsman spirit in Chinese, history and other courses; In physics department, chemistry department and other practical classes, students can be provided with more hands-on opportunities. In addition, carrying out public welfare volunteer service in surrounding public places and linking labor education with career planning will help students understand the hardships of labor more truly and understand the value of labor more deeply.

"Labor is a kind of folk pedagogy with magical power, which has opened up a new source of educational wisdom for us. This source is unknown to book education theory. " The words of education experts are worth pondering. In recent years, the basic education has been changing constantly, from one physical education class class every day to one labor class every week, which has also aroused people's deep thinking about "five educations simultaneously". Just as physical education class's purpose is not only to keep fit, but also to cultivate students' will, team consciousness and fighting spirit, so that students can gain confidence and friendship from it, the greatest value of labor class is not to participate in itself, but to restore students' sociality as much as possible. "Let children learn to work in the soil, enjoy life in fireworks, open the world at their fingertips, and create a colorful life on their own"-this may be the eclectic basis of labor class, which is why they should do labor.

Everything is long, because of labor. Offering labor classes is a key step to improve labor education, and it also makes education itself more complete. In the future, to strengthen the process experience of labor education and optimize the performance evaluation mechanism, we need to be alert to utilitarianism and go through the motions to avoid labor lessons becoming chicken ribs. Let children truly love and enjoy labor, and get happiness and growth from it. Our educational reform is proceeding steadily.
