Grades can't reduce the burden of schoolwork, but they can only be reduced if they don't care about grades. On the one hand, parents now think that students and themselves have a heavy burden. On the other hand, they think their children are not good enough, and some irrelevant people join in the fun. It seems that the culprit is the teacher. In fact, children's homework burden is not as serious as it is said on the internet, which is caused by some kind people. I am now teaching grade three mathematics in rural primary schools. If you leave homework every day, you must explain it in your parents' WeChat group. A day without sending WeChat, many parents will ask, fearing that their children will go home and lie and say that they have not left their homework. I have never heard parents think that teachers' homework will increase their burden. Some people may say that this city will do the same. Let me give you another example. My grandson is in the second grade of primary school in the provincial capital, where the primary school finishes at 3 pm. Parents have different views on what their children will do when they get home. My grandson's mother bought study materials for her children. Where does the academic burden come from?

If parents really feel that their children have a heavy academic burden and are afraid of affecting their physical and mental health, they can communicate with teachers and ask their children to read less or leave no homework. Parents want grades, teachers want grades, which is more important? Parents, of course. I haven't heard that teachers with poor grades were deducted, demoted and expelled. Therefore, teachers are embarrassed that the academic burden of compulsory primary schools is relatively light, because there is no pressure for admission. Due to the fierce competition for junior high school entrance, students' academic burden is no less than that of senior high school. Especially in recent years, all provinces and cities have introduced new enrollment policies for senior high school entrance examinations. Other provinces are not clear. Shandong province stipulates that the number of students enrolled in ordinary high schools should not exceed 55% of the number of junior high school graduates in that year, which means that nearly half of the students can't pass the senior high school entrance examination. Therefore, some people lament that it is harder to go to high school than to go to college! It is for this reason that the competition between junior high schools is fierce. In order to gain advantages and create good grades, school district leaders put pressure on teachers, and teachers can only put pressure on students.

In order to change this situation and reduce students' academic burden, the only feasible way is to run schools according to the law from top to bottom, and the policies must be put in place, uncompromising and unambiguous! For example, students have uniform regulations on school time and school time. They are not allowed to study at night, nor are they allowed to have classes on Saturday and Sunday. Only when violators are dealt with seriously can these irregular school-running behaviors be effectively prohibited.

It is also very important that the education department cannot evaluate schools and teachers by the enrollment rate. However, in the current exam-oriented education environment, it is difficult to implement. In my opinion, to change the status quo, we must play a game of chess all over the country. It is difficult for local governments to formulate unified policies and implement them nationwide.
