Primary education belongs to the compulsory education stage, which has the basic characteristics of free, compulsory and unified. As far as its free, that is, we often say "two exemptions and one subsidy", that is, tuition and miscellaneous fees are exempted, and the local government gives appropriate living subsidies to school-age children with real family difficulties; It doesn't mean that the country has arranged everything for children to go to school. Some parents need to spend money or pay for themselves, such as various extracurricular tutoring interest classes and cram schools.
The function of school education has its particularity, which does not mean that all education is guaranteed. School education mainly focuses on the education of children's scientific and cultural knowledge and the cultivation of all-round comprehensive quality, facing the preferences and interests of all students, not individual students; This reflects the characteristics of its unity, conforms to the requirements of education and teaching laws, and tries to meet the needs of all students' physical and mental development and growth characteristics. As for the needs of students' individualized development, school education can't meet them, so we call all kinds of compliance interest classes offered by off-campus counseling institutions a useful supplement to public education.
It is unrealistic to offer all kinds of free interest classes in public primary schools. First, teachers are not available and there is a lack of professionals. Even if recruited from the society, the salary of teachers is so small, and no one is willing to take over; Second, the lack of venues and facilities makes it really difficult to use the already stretched teaching space and then use it to open various interest classes; Third, it conflicts with the unified arrangement of education and teaching. The primary school curriculum is full and the schedule is tight. If you arrange various interest classes, it will not only affect normal teaching, but also affect children's grades. How will parents complain then? Fourth, it is inconsistent with the national burden reduction policy. Now primary school students have a heavy academic burden, and then open various interest classes. This is not to let schools take the lead in increasing students' learning burden!
To sum up, the author thinks that it is unrealistic to offer free interest classes such as dance, taekwondo and calligraphy in primary schools. It's impossible now, and it won't happen in the future! As a formal education school, there are specific and unified arrangements and requirements for handling affairs according to law, and it is impossible to sacrifice the interests of most students in order to meet the requirements of some minorities.
