Now there are more and more educational institutions for children from birth to university. As early as when they are learning a language, some children will go to kindergarten. However, every time the tuition fee is paid, the complicated and huge fees, as well as the miscellaneous air-conditioning fees, insurance fees, graduation photo fees and talent fees, will make parents mistakenly think that the more projects they pay, the more things their children will learn? However, are these tuition fees really displayed on children? Let's see where the tuition has gone!
We must first know that kindergartens in the market are divided into three categories: non-profit organizations, public kindergartens and private kindergartens. Although there are many ways to charge private kindergartens, they should be built under the regulations of * * * (non-profit organizations and public kindergartens have strict regulations, so there are few cases of overcharging). Let's take a good look at how the kindergarten charges. What should be collected? What's unacceptable!
Announce extra fees for kindergartens
Let's start with a few lists that are more likely to charge extra:
1. "Air-conditioning fee": The Education Bureau has approved it, and the air-conditioning fee has been included in the "miscellaneous fees", so it can never be collected!
Second, "graduation photo fee": the school is not allowed to give any discount, and this money needs to be reported to the Education Bureau in advance ~
Three. Insurance premium: Every child has "child safety insurance", which is borne by Cathay Life Insurance. Calculated by 107,13 of the insurance premium is paid by * * (189 yuan), and parents pay 2/3(378 yuan), that is, each student only needs to pay 65,438 yuan per semester.
Fourth, the "talent course fee": this part is the most confusing part for parents, and it is also the vague area of legislation, so we will draw it out specially!
What is the talent class fee?
First of all, let's look at the rationality of talent course fees. First, we must meet two laws and regulations:
According to Article 4 of the Guidelines for the Implementation of Children's Education, Care and Services, the implementation time of kindergarten education and care activities is from 8: 00 am to 4: 00 pm. Therefore, all courses in this interval must conform to the course content stipulated by laws and regulations. In the case of the first point, let's look at the second. "Guidelines for the Implementation of Early Childhood Education, Conservation and Services" Article 13 Kindergartens shall implement the curriculum of education and conservation activities in accordance with the following provisions: First, a kindergarten-wide education and conservation activity curriculum development meeting shall be held at least once every semester. 2. Make a calendar, schedule and course plan. Three. Implement health education, life education, safety education, moral education and gender equality education. Four, the implementation of the whole process, not the branch as a unit. Five, based on the principle of self-development, and should choose materials from children's life experience and local living environment. Six, when necessary, choose auxiliary teaching materials, the content should be in line with the "kindergarten teaching and insurance activities curriculum outline" spirit. 7. No full-time, half-day or sub-subject foreign language teaching is allowed. Eight, not good at reading, writing and arithmetic teaching. The most important thing is the last five points! ! ! ! ! )
To sum up the above two items, the simple explanation is: the class time in kindergarten is from 8 am to 4 pm, during which the courses are not allowed to be divided into subjects (that is, simple painting and music classes, etc.). ), but music and dance art classes can be combined! Therefore, kindergartens charge talent fees mostly after four o'clock (usually from four to five o'clock), and they charge in vague areas that are not clearly defined by laws and regulations. It is worth noting that public kindergartens and non-profit organizations have the following special provisions:
The fourth principle of "Operating Points of Supporting Public Kindergarten and Non-profit Kindergarten's After-school Stay-in-Park Service" mentions: "After-school Stay-in-Park Service is not an after-school talent class, and its service content should conform to children's physical and mental development and give consideration to life education. Therefore, public kindergartens and non-profit organizations are not allowed to offer talent classes, nor are they allowed to charge!
Do children need to attend talent classes?
Preschool children should pay attention to "balanced development" rather than single skill and talent learning. Some parents may think that studying music and art helps to cultivate and cultivate children's spirit. However, what needs special attention here is that the muscles of kindergarten children have not developed well. If they are repeatedly given local muscle pressure, they may be stunted, and most people need special skills to practice and show them, such as varicose muscles in their hands. Parents are advised.

Premature learning, whether it is music theory or quyi structure, may actually limit children's imagination. Let us use two psychological terms to understand what it is!
1. Anchoring Effect: It means that when we make a decision, the initial information (called anchor point) will have a great influence on our decision. We can also use "first impression" to explain. The first impression is the "anchor" that sank to the bottom of the sea. If we fix our thinking in a certain place, then our later decisions will also be influenced by the "anchor" of the first impression.
The example of applying it to learning talent is that children draw with a sketch frame and then draw with the same frame all the time, which will not deviate from this trajectory, but you should know that, like the continuous progress of technology, the real skill is to integrate their own characteristics and develop uniqueness, which is the real purpose of our study!
2. Heuristic usability: When making judgments, people tend to use memories that are easy to recall or information that can be simply used in daily life, which also means that people will be influenced by information that is easy to recall. So, when children realize that "the sky should be painted blue!" ",he will ignore the fact that there is more than one color in the sky.
Finally, are the teachers in the after-school talent class in kindergarten really professional?
