Now education is reducing the burden, but there are more and more interest classes and cram schools. It is indeed a social phenomenon that children have to go to cram schools besides doing their homework at home.
However, this situation is not what we want, and there is nothing we can do. There are too many festivals or programs in schools now, and children without skills will be easily ignored.
To give the simplest example, on Children's Day, all classes will perform programs and all children will participate. Some can dance, some can sing, some can play the piano and some can recite.
These things are rarely taught in schools, and children study in cram schools. If your child has not attended cram school, at this moment, he can only watch others perform.
Regardless of the teacher's concern, I think it will be a little unbearable to talk about the child's fragile self-esteem. Even if you don't let your child be too good, you can't let your child be too mediocre. This may be the idea of many parents.
There is a primary school next to my home, and there are various cram schools at the school gate. From calligraphy to piano, from English mathematics to pottery making, there are basically cram schools you can think of.
My nephew just turned 8 this year. He practiced piano for two years and danced for more than a year. He also signed up for a calligraphy class. On Children's Day this year, he went on stage to dance with the children, and he still felt very happy.
No parents don't want their children to succeed. Both parents want the best for their children. It is under the psychology of parents that there are more and more cram schools and children are becoming more and more mature.
What were we doing when we were children? When I was seven or eight years old, I guess I was still playing with mud besides doing my homework after school, but what about children now? Singing, dancing and playing the piano are really unparalleled.
I'm also going to enroll my son in a calligraphy cram school. The rest depends on his personal interests. Children are not required to be much better than others. It is always good to practice a few more things when you are young. After all, adults know the cruel side of society and have a skill, and the road will be smoother in the future.
You never know how good you are unless you push yourself; Children will never know how good they will be in the future unless they are forced.
