Is it necessary to add two holidays in spring and autumn besides winter and summer vacations in a year? Yesterday afternoon, a group of students in Grade 5 and Grade 6 of a primary school in Chaoyang District heard this question, and most of them agreed. The day before yesterday, Zhang Xu, a deputy to the National People's Congress, submitted a proposal to increase "Spring and Autumn Holidays" in primary and secondary schools, proposing to give children a more humane environment for growing up.
"Hangzhou has already implemented it last year." Zhang Xu said that the "inspiration" of the motion came from a report he read last March. Hangzhou implemented the reform of the holiday system for primary and secondary schools, and took the lead in promoting a four-day holiday for primary and secondary schools in the country. Later, Zhang Xu went abroad on a business trip and noticed that primary and secondary school students in Australia, the United States and other countries also enjoyed such treatment. Therefore, at this year's NPC session, he submitted this proposal.
Zhang Xu has an 8-year-old son who is in the third grade of primary school this year. "It hurts to see him doing his homework until eleven or twelve o'clock every night." Zhang Xu said that the embryonic form of the bill only wanted to reduce the burden of education, and the report on the implementation of holiday reform in primary and secondary schools in Hangzhou allowed him to further concretize and operationalize the bill.
On 25th, Zhang Xu told his son the suggestion of increasing holidays. The son said happily, "Great, we can play outside again." Zhang Xu said that this should be the voice of most children, and he proposed this motion to give students more time for autonomous learning and a more humane growth environment.
Zhang Xu's holiday plan
● Spring break: one week after May Day; ● Autumn vacation:165438+1the first week of October; ● Summer vacation: shortened to mid-July to August 30th; ● Winter vacation: the school will be postponed after the Lantern Festival.
After the autumn break, the class time will be reduced, with 3 classes in the morning and 2 classes in the afternoon; In addition, collective remedial classes and disguised classes are not allowed during holidays, and the amount of homework is strictly controlled.

Student: While increasing holidays, we should also reduce homework.
"I agree!" "If only we could arrange less holiday homework." Yesterday afternoon, in a primary school in Chaoyang District, a group of fifth and sixth grade students raised their hands to vote and "passed" the proposal to increase "Spring and Autumn Holidays" in primary and secondary schools. There were 14 "delegates" in this provisional voting committee, 10 voted in favour, 3 abstained and 1 0 opposed.
"With more holidays, we can have fun." Student Zhang Hua's "representative" opinion represents the voice of many students.
"We can also do things we want to do, such as experiencing life and spending more time with friends." The opinions of the "representatives" of Luye are more "mature".
At the voting meeting, the small "delegates" also suggested reforming the holiday homework. "Don't leave so much homework, it's better to have only one homework, for example, let's write a research report on a topic we are interested in."

Teacher: Too many holidays affect teaching tasks.
Faced with the representative's motion, the teacher's first reaction was "unable to finish the teaching task". Teacher Lu of Dongcheng District Education Committee said that this plan is not realistic to implement. This scheme is similar to the holiday arrangement of some foreign schools, and pays more attention to the average time in distribution. But there is a problem here. We will have a week's holiday after May Day, and then, more than a month later, it will be summer vacation. School starts in early September, and there is a week's holiday in 165438+ 10, which is equivalent to another holiday two months after school starts. The direct consequence is that the teaching content cannot be completed.
Teacher Lu also said that at present, the relevant departments expressly stipulate that school holidays are not allowed to make up lessons, but for students in grade three and grade three, not making up lessons means shortening the review time. It is suggested that schools be allowed to make up lessons for students who are about to graduate if they want. Of course, the charging standard should be strict. (Zhang Ting)
