The new school year is about to begin. The results of the relevant special questionnaire survey released by the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission on August 24th show that Shanghai has achieved practical results in the exploration of "zero starting point and equal system" for reducing the burden on primary school students. Zheng Fangxian, director of the Basic Education Department of the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission, revealed that Shanghai is organizing the preparation of the "grading system" evaluation guide for junior and senior high school subjects, and gradually extending the "grading system" evaluation from the lower grades of primary schools to the middle and senior grades, and from Chinese, mathematics and English subjects to other disciplines.
In addition, it is the intensive period of home visits and parent-teacher conferences. For parents who are anxious about whether to give gifts or cash gifts to their teachers, Shanghai once again emphasizes that teachers should not accept any form of gifts or cash gifts from their parents.
Primary school students' academic pressure is reduced.
Starting from the new semester this fall, Shanghai will implement a new edition of the Student Growth Record Book in the first and second grades of primary schools. Comprehensive evaluation of students' learning in various subjects from three dimensions: academic performance, academic performance and learning interest, in which "academic performance" is evaluated according to the characteristics of each subject.

In the second stage, there are
On August 24th, Zhu Lei, a researcher at the Basic Education Department of Shanghai Education Commission, released the results of the second special questionnaire survey. The data of the second survey shows that: 172 primary schools have made obvious progress in policy implementation: 54.9 1% of parents said that schools can hold a "happy activity day" once a week, while in the first survey, the proportion was only 32.53%; In the aspect of "no written homework", the proportion of parents who choose "never" to arrange written homework has increased from 10.96% in the first phase to 41.88%; The proportion of choosing "written test" decreased from 82.8 1% in the first phase to 32.97% in the second phase; The proportion of choosing "often or always" to rank or rank in disguise decreased from 15.54% in the first issue to 8.28%.
Parents feel that students' learning status has also improved compared with the data of the first phase: the proportion of students with low learning pressure has increased from 30.93% in the first phase to 74. 19% in the second phase. The proportion of students interested in studying "extraordinary or comparative" increased from 62.36% in the first phase to 9 1.03% in the second phase. In addition, students have some changes in "school adaptation" and "school pleasure".
At the same time, the data show that the implementation of policies, teachers' incentive behavior and students' sleep time are significantly positively related to students' learning status. The better the school policies are implemented, the more teachers encourage and praise students, and the more they pay attention to the cultivation of students' learning interest and study habits. The more time students sleep, the better their learning status will be.
Full coverage of primary school freshmen's home visits

Should teachers give gifts when they visit the school or attend the parents' meeting? This topic has become the most enthusiastic topic for parents. The newspaper learned that many districts and counties in Shanghai have made it clear that teachers are not allowed to accept any form of gifts or cash from their parents.
