Education is not only about grades, but more importantly, children need their parents' understanding to help them find out the crux of the problem. Don't just spend money on peace of mind! It is said that no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education and you can't suffer children. Around me, many parents spend a lot of money to enroll their children in various cram schools because of their children's achievements, and this phenomenon is getting younger and younger. Even the children of primary school students will be occupied by a large number of cram schools after school.
I have a friend who is a living example. My friend's family is not rich. There is a senior three child at home. He has various cram schools on weekends. He gets up at six in the morning and goes home at night 10. As usual, there is nothing wrong with attending cram schools in senior three, but his children have been attending various cram schools since they first entered junior high school, and they have long been tired of cram schools. My friends sometimes complain to me: You say, we scrimp and save, give him good food and clothes, enroll in a cram school is so expensive, and all the money is spent, so why is it so difficult for him to study hard? In fact, from a psychological point of view, the practice of friends is precisely the performance of falling into the misunderstanding of "sunk cost effect".

In economics, all expenses that have occurred and cannot be recovered, including time, money and energy, are called sunk costs. The time, energy and money spent on children's cram schools have occurred and cannot be recovered, which is the "sunk cost". However, when children are obviously tired of learning, friends insist on enrolling in classes and even beg their children to study hard, just don't want to let these efforts go to waste. Simply put, it is "I spent so much money on you, you should study hard".
From the point of view of learning, we should make more efforts on weak subjects at present, and it is best to find new methods. Since the old method is tiring, it is better to change our thinking as soon as possible. A friend's psychology is, since he spent so much money, why not raise the scores of all subjects by one grade on the original basis, ignoring that people's energy is limited and haven't found the right method yet. In the long run, children will become tired, and parents will fall into a vicious circle because of their achievements and continue to report their children to class.

Education is never a simple matter. It's ok to pay attention to grades, but it's not advisable to pay too much attention to grades. The measures taken by many parents at the educational level are actually to let others find ways to think that cram schools are omnipotent, but in fact, what children need is the understanding of parents and help to find out the crux of the problem, not just to spend money to buy peace of mind.
In the final analysis, it is because: because I want my children to be good enough! And all kinds of education and training institutions have seized the fate of parents. Training courses for various disciplines, arts and sports majors have mushroomed, and the educational concept has become more and more advanced. Of course, tuition fees are also rising and getting more and more expensive.
Before I had children, I saw my relatives busy with their children between various remedial classes every day. I was so confused that I thought it would be enough to complete the normal course! Why are adults and children so tired! No happy childhood! In the future, my children must be stocked, and happiness is the most important thing. Now that I have children, I dare not think so anymore. Now all the children around us are smart, excellent and versatile.

From the perspective of parents, I analyze the prosperity of the education counseling industry for several reasons. First, the school is fiercely competitive and has a large amount of knowledge, which requires one-to-one or one-to-many key guidance from extracurricular professional teachers to deepen the understanding of what they have learned in class and improve their application ability; Second, there are still many disadvantages in the current educational system reform, such as the large class size, the teachers' quality can't keep up with the development, and exam-oriented education is still the main assessment method, which are all important factors that directly lead to after-school cram schools; Third, social values generally believe that going to school is the best way to realize self-worth and change your destiny, so you should get that diploma without spending money. But going to school and studying are two concepts. What a person learns in school is very different from what he really needs in social practice. This is a strange circle that everyone knows but still can't get rid of.
Generally speaking, studying in public schools basically means eating the same pot. It doesn't seem to matter how students' personal achievements and comprehension ability are. Teachers just follow their own teaching progress, not to mention personalized education.

Children who lose their holidays after making up classes are mostly contradictory. Even if I make up lessons, I guess I don't have much energy to devote to my studies. Now there are hundreds or even thousands of classes in a casual class. How to kill the cram school? For the children's parents, they should endure and make up, and create conditions to make up if they can't afford it! And many teachers also want to enjoy the holiday, but the demand is so strong that it is hard to refuse it.
Parents and teachers really love and hate making up classes. In the final analysis, whether it is schools, teachers, parents or children, it is all because of grades. The grades that are usually behind will be made up during the holidays, and those that are not improved will be made up during the holidays! If these problems are usually solved, parents and children may have a relaxed holiday.

Other parents take their children to make up lessons outside school. Don't you make up lessons? Now it is no longer "stupid birds fly first", but "smart birds fly first", and the competition pressure is even greater. If you don't study in advance, you will lose at the starting line; This may be the knot of most parents. On weekends or holidays, as long as students have leisure time, they will either watch TV or play games and play the glory of the king with their friends. It will be really dark! How to ensure a certain study time if you don't report to class?
As an experienced person, I deeply know that if a student is not a self-taught genius or a conscious child, it is actually difficult to get high marks without making up the exam. Under this exam-oriented education system, you can't go to a good school if you don't get high marks, and you will go to a bad school if you take the senior high school entrance examination. As for the later college entrance examination, there is no way at all. Is there no other way but to make up lessons?
