It is a sad fact that many children have gone bad at school.
In 2000, Harold Levy, Consul General of public schools in new york, USA, said with anxiety: "For decades, the quality of teachers has been getting worse and worse, but people have avoided talking about this topic. We need a powerful way to attract the most promising people to join the teaching staff. "
This is a global problem.
17 years later, it seems that the quality of teachers has not been improved, and "powerful methods" have not been discovered and implemented.
However, we have to admit that teachers' income is really low, their various treatments are poor and their social status is low. All kinds of shackles. With the passage of time, many excellent or serious educators have exhausted their motivation, and no longer try their best to make children interested in classes or make the teaching content closely related to life. I've seen this situation too often. Some teachers are full of love for their students just from the teaching stage. In order to prepare an introduction, they must design it carefully many times. Later, I took my textbook into the class, euphemistically called: autonomous learning.
Then, in the process of rote memorization, sea tactics, winning the favor of teachers and pursuing achievements, many children gradually become stupid and insensitive to learning and growth. We know this by comparing children in primary school 1-3 grade with children in junior high school and senior high school. The classroom difference is really a world of difference. In my area, many teachers in the industry are also sending out the feelings of the old lady: primary schools should also have a unified graduation exam, and junior high school students should go through several exams, even if they are in the first grade of primary school, their grades should be analyzed and evaluated, linked to performance pay, and so on. On the road of utilitarianism, education is getting farther and farther and more intense. Driven by the values of exam-oriented education, teachers are forced to a corner and a dead end.
A teacher friend wants to send her children to a junior high school in a big city near the border. He said helplessly: the schools here, from the best private junior high schools to the initial junior high schools, are carrying out endless crowd tactics, completely ignoring the growth of children for exams and scores!
This is a fact.
Children have less and less free time at school.
With the continuous increase of grades, some schools have almost no jobs left-if there are children, they will say, "Our free activities class and even physical education class only exist in the curriculum." Children have no chance to know where their advantages lie, they can play without supervision, and even "unattended" has become a luxury. Their energy can only be in class, in class, on exercises.
For another example, recess 10 minute is considered by many education experts as an effective regulator, which can alleviate students' visual fatigue and make classes more focused. Especially during the half-hour or 40-minute break, students can even have a ten-ball basketball game or have a heart-to-heart conversation with friends. Or just quiet and don't want to spend half an hour or forty minutes. However, some primary schools clearly stipulate that students are not allowed to leave their seats and play on the playground except for things that are rarely necessary to do, such as going to the toilet. This situation not only occurs in areas with backward education, but also in Shanghai, Beijing and other places.
I saw a news the year before last. In order to be safe and prevent pupils from crowding downstairs, a primary school stipulates that children of all grades are not allowed to leave their floors during the morning break. As a result, children of a certain grade were crowded in the corridor, crushing the handrails of the corridor.
It's pathetic.
For decades, the time for daydreaming in unattended self-study classes has disappeared.
Traditionally, we are forbidden to wander around the campus.
This is the school education now. Children in this period are more tired of learning than ever before.
We put forward various restraining orders. What did the child lose?
Psychological research shows that only when a person's brain is mature enough can he concentrate or sit still for a long time. Many adults can't do this. Once a child's concentration time exceeds the limit, he will fidget, dance or reason. After all, they will do anything except sit still!
At this time, control is a kind of coercion, which will make students more and more disgusted with learning itself.
This is the school education now. This is not allowed, and that is not allowed.
We have always regarded school education as a professional education, but many schools have been carrying out various behaviors that violate the laws of education for a long time.
For children, teachers and education, the "first project of people's livelihood", many people only look at utility.
Among them, the most fundamental reason is the utility of the whole society: in the education of children, many parents and education departments don't want fun, meaning, exercise, growth process, but only results! Right? Parents want grades! Leaders want results! Families and schools in the whole society are staring at the results! Those with good grades are famous schools, and Hengshui has branches all over the country. If the grades are not good, then there is nothing else to talk about.
Even in the process of children's learning, many of our families ignore the talent demand of the development of the times, ignore children's interests, and just want to choose those majors that make money! Even our generations are looking forward to promotion and wealth, and no one has thought deeply about what kind of technology or thinking can better meet the great changes in the future!
