How important is primary education?
The primary school stage is the most fragile period for children's development, and it is the key period for children to transition to teenagers, from immaturity to gradual maturity and physical and mental development. Therefore, education in this period played an important role in the development of human life. (A) Physical enlightenment

Primary school is a period of children's rapid physical development. Although children are much stronger than young children, they are still weak compared with heavy and persistent learning tasks. Therefore, it is very important to care about children's physical and mental health and enhance their physique in primary education. In the first year of primary school, we should pay special attention not to make children feel afraid and tired of learning as soon as they enter school. Concern, protection and awareness of children's health and measures to enhance children's physique should run through the whole process of primary education and even school education at all levels. This task is particularly important in childhood, because children don't understand and realize that they need to protect their bodies and various organs, and the responsibility of primary school educators in this regard is even more important. A young body may be strong and easily injured. In recent years, the increase of myopia rate and cardiovascular and nervous system diseases among primary school students in China is a problem that cannot be ignored. In the primary school stage, educating children to develop good work and rest habits and cleanliness is a positive protection for their health.

(B) Enlightenment in learning knowledge

Children in primary school are in a period when their intellectual potential gradually appears and develops rapidly. An important task of primary education should be to enlighten children's intellectual development. In addition to the teaching content, the training of reading, writing, calculation and manual operation skills is of great significance to the future development of children's intelligence and learning ability. Children's manual operation is often ignored. People who have the ability to develop creativity generally have various performances during primary school. If the training of practical ability misses this period, the effect will be slow. In addition, the most important thing is the ability of students to master and use written language skillfully. In the process of learning, teachers should pay attention to cultivating students' learning autonomy, including arranging learning time reasonably, completing homework independently, checking and correcting homework mistakes, and trying to overcome learning difficulties. The development of primary school students' self-confidence is closely related to whether they can overcome difficulties and also to teachers' evaluation. Therefore, in the process of guiding and helping students to learn, primary school teachers care and encourage their progress and independence more than anything else. Teachers should believe that students will succeed, and be good at making children gradually learn to use their own strength to succeed through various methods. Innovation is the soul of a nation's progress and an inexhaustible motive force for the country's prosperity. The production of innovative achievements depends on innovative thinking and innovative ability, which must be cultivated from an early age and from the time of students. Therefore, primary education plays an important role in cultivating children's curiosity and thirst for knowledge, helping children to study and think independently, protecting their exploration spirit and innovative thinking, and developing their potential.

(C) in terms of ideological and moral enlightenment

Children who enter primary schools will encounter more and more moral problems with the continuous expansion of their life scope. The key to the development of primary school students' moral quality is to match words with deeds, both inside and outside the school. The difference between words and deeds exists because primary school students lack strong will, and the formation of habits or moral behaviors requires a certain amount and intensity of practical training. Therefore, the focus of ideological and moral education in primary schools is to cultivate good moral concepts and behavior habits of primary school students, that is, to cultivate civilized behavior education. If strict requirements and repeated training can be given to primary school students for a long time, a series of conditioned reflexes will be established in their minds, and advanced dynamic stereotypes of moral behavior will be formed, so that habits will become natural and lay a solid foundation for primary school students' future study and work.
