Since 200 1, a new round of education reform has been carried out on a large scale throughout the country, and it has been 18 years since then. Countless educators, front-line teachers, enthusiastic parents and people in society are actively exploring the direction, ways and methods of educational reform. Everyone's understanding of education will be different, and their views on education will be different. The field of education is always full of ideological debates.
I also want to talk about my own understanding and views on your sincere comments and suggestions.
First, you said that Lin Xiao had too many chores, so students could not settle down to study.
I don't quite understand what you mean by "miscellaneous". Can you specify which activities and what kind of activities?
I want to talk about my thoughts on "activities". School activities are rich and colorful, including moral education experience activities, classroom teaching activities, subject competitions, second-class interest classes, sports activities, scientific and technological innovation activities, cultural heritage activities, and so on. If a student does not participate in these rich activities, I really don't know how monotonous and boring his study life will be.
In fact, activity is a carrier. Students get exercise and experience in various activities, and are influenced and exercised by the personality of unity, cooperation, competition, friendship, courage, upward, sunshine, positive and kindness, thus expanding their knowledge, broadening their horizons and enriching their experience.
Many activities are organized by different departments at higher levels. For example, it is required to hold at least one social practice activity every semester. For example, popularization week, standardized Chinese character contest, classic reading activity, oral English contest, information technology contest, painting contest and other activities were all ordered by superiors and organized within a certain period of time. Every school must organize these activities. Schools should make plans, write plans, write summaries and submit reports after organizing activities. Every year, education supervisors evaluate the school's running situation and the development of various education and teaching activities, which is a unified action stipulated by the Education Bureau. Our primary school is a public primary school, so we must standardize running schools, organize various educational activities according to the above instructions, and accept the supervision and inspection of the higher education authorities.
Whether a student can settle down to study is related to his interest in learning, clear learning purpose, self-discipline, respect for teachers, awe of knowledge and sense of responsibility.
If you think that some school activities have had some adverse effects on your child's study, we can consider letting your child not take part in many activities, so as not to affect him to calm down and study.
Second, you said, I feel that school leaders don't necessarily put the quality of education first, but they are ok, but many activities attach great importance to it.
"Many activities are very important", you are right. As I said before, many educational and teaching activities are required by superiors and are the main items of supervision and inspection. How can you not pay attention to them? If we don't pay attention to these activities or carry them out carelessly, the quality of our education will fail in the supervision and evaluation led by experts, and all our teachers will be ashamed of it. Our teachers are very responsible. They unite and cooperate, and Qi Xin works together to do every activity well.
You said, "school leaders don't necessarily put the quality of education first, just get by." I don't think your point of view is correct.
All our school leaders and teachers have a consensus that the quality of education and teaching is the lifeline of the school. All the leading teachers in our primary school are doing their best to improve our education quality and teaching effect.
Our school has a strong atmosphere of education and teaching, teachers are conscientious, United and cooperative, with outstanding educational and teaching achievements and obvious characteristics.
Our school has won the Guangdong Moral Education Demonstration School, and many sister schools from other provinces and cities have come to visit and learn from our moral education management experience, such as home-school co-construction and parent-child service station construction.
Our school is a first-class school in Dongguan, a national family education experimental base, a national Chinese curriculum reform demonstration school, a civilized school in Dongguan, and so on.
This pile of honors is the affirmation of the higher authorities and society on the quality of education and teaching in our school. We are proud of this, but we will not be complacent and stagnant. We will work harder to make our school run at A level by going up a storey still higher.
Third, you said that the school classroom discipline is quite loose, and it is common to talk, whisper and send notes in class.
I don't think you understand this thoroughly and comprehensively.
As we all know, primary school students have poor self-control ability and weak self-discipline consciousness. They talk in class, make small gestures and even send notes. I think this definitely exists, and every school will exist. But it is not a common phenomenon in our school, but an individual phenomenon in individual classes and certain classes.
We often emphasize that students should concentrate on each class. We have a class meeting every week, and the class teacher will emphasize the study discipline at the class meeting. The overall situation of classroom discipline in our school is still very good. Many teachers from brother schools come to our school to borrow classes or attend classes, and all praise our students for their good classroom discipline, standardized classroom behavior and excellent grades.
What you know about loose discipline in class, talking in class, whispering and sending notes, should be a phenomenon in a class. We sincerely hope that you can specifically point out that the leaders of our school can talk to some teachers more specifically about this classroom discipline, and jointly reverse the classroom discipline of this class and become civilized and orderly. Of course, the leaders of our school will also know the situation, find out the situation, educate students in time and stop those bad behaviors.
Our public schools are also under pressure to run schools. Every semester, there is an evaluation of the quality of education and teaching, which is linked to teachers' performance pay, bonuses and subsidies for education and teaching, and to the promotion of teachers' professional titles. No one will make fun of his money bag, which is also related to the teacher's academic status and face. Therefore, the teachers in our school are conscientious and devoted to education and teaching. Under the pressure of the education department, parents of students and children's growth, they try their best to do their jobs with a clear conscience.
Of course, we also admit that everyone's ability is strong and weak, just like everyone's fingers are long and short. There are dozens and hundreds of teachers in a school, and there must be one or two teachers with weak ability. Perhaps the discipline in the class he leads is not so ideal, and even the teaching results are not so ideal. This is a normal phenomenon. In our school, there are mentoring pairs, and teachers with strong ability help teachers with weak ability to grow together. We believe that teachers with weak ability will definitely make changes and progress.
Fourth, you said that students' grades should be boldly announced and ranked, and there would be no pressure without competition.
You said "no competition, no pressure", I quite agree. As the saying goes, competition is a kind of pressure. Without pressure, there is no motivation. Therefore, moderate competition is good and necessary.
There is no lack of competition in the educational and teaching activities of our school. For example, it is a kind of competition to carry out some subject competitions, and it is also a kind of competition to carry out campus sports meetings. It is also a competition to see who wins some games in education and teaching. Competition is not just a unilateral competition for academic performance.
As for "announcing the results", most of our classes announce the results. There are many ways to publish results, and each class may be different. Our school has a grade management system. After each unit test of Chinese, Mathematics and English in each class is completed, the scores should be uploaded to the score management system. Every leader and teacher can access this management system anytime and anywhere and check the exam results of each unit in any class. The examination results of each class are open to the teachers of the whole school. The exam results of each class will also be announced to the students. Some people will print out the results and post them in the classroom. Some will read each student's grades when the teacher gives out the test papers. Some classes even post their results to parents' QQ group and WeChat group.
I don't think you know anything about "grade ranking" Many years ago, it was the teacher's habit to rank and publish the results after each exam.
However, in recent years, teachers dare not do this and can't do it. Because the higher education department expressly stipulates that it is not allowed to rank students' grades, and because primary and junior high schools are compulsory education, not selective education, in order to reduce the adverse effects of ranking on students, the higher education department has made such explicit provisions. As a public school, we must standardize the running of the school. The leaders of our school constantly emphasize to the teachers that the results can be announced, but they are not allowed to rank. Educational supervisors will also specially check whether each class ranks when they announce the results.
Of course, the teacher will compare and analyze the results of the whole class, and give great praise and commendation to the students who have done well in the exam and those who have made progress.
At the opening ceremony of each semester in our school, students with excellent test scores and students who have made progress will be commended and rewarded. It's not illegal.
In fact, there is competition for learning here. Self-motivated students will secretly make up their minds to surpass their better classmates. Students who study well will also secretly make up their minds to study harder and not let other students catch up. This is an exciting competition and a healthy competition.
Finally, I am very grateful to my parents for their sincere suggestions and opinions. We know that you came to our school with concern for the school and children.
My reply may not satisfy all of you, but at least we are communicating with each other, exchanging ideas and colliding with each other.
Parents are welcome to put forward valuable opinions and suggestions to the school for the better development of the school and the better growth of students. As long as it is well-intentioned, correct and conducive to the development of our school and the growth of students, we will adopt it.
thank you
