I was puzzled when I heard this sentence, and then I asked my daughter, "You two have a little different heads. The teacher can't put you two together and arrange them casually." . Then my daughter continued to say to me excitedly: "Our teacher said that we will arrange seats according to the final exam results next semester, and we will no longer arrange seats according to height. I have always been similar to Yuanyuan, and I am definitely next to him. "
Seeing my daughter so happy, I was really happy for her, but after a while, I seriously thought about this problem. Personally, I don't think it is a good teaching method for teachers to arrange seats according to their grades. This teaching method is a bit extreme and easy to hurt students.
Arranging seats according to grades is undoubtedly dividing students into three, six and nine grades. Moreover, this teaching method is not conducive to the unity within the class, and careful analysis can be imagined.
The people who arrange their seats according to their grades belong to the same class, so all the staff in the class are competitive. Although there will be competition in general, there will be class ranking after the test results come out, but this competition is not as simple as ranking by seat.
Arranging class seats according to academic performance will only encourage vicious competition in the class, which is not conducive to class unity and children's personal development.
I believe that the teacher's original intention is to promote students' better development in this straightforward way. I hope that excellent students can continue to be excellent, and those with poor academic performance can be ashamed and brave, and study harder. But this is only an ideal state, and if it is implemented in reality, it may do more harm than good.
What are the disadvantages of arranging seats according to academic performance?
1. is not conducive to promoting class unity.
As mentioned above, there is a certain competitive relationship in this kind of education, and the competitive crowd is still within the class. Arranging seats according to academic performance is to divide students into three, six and nine grades. This kind of education is easy to make students disagree, which is not conducive to class unity.
2. It is easy to have negative pressure on children.
This kind of education is not only easy to put pressure on children with good academic performance, but also easy to put pressure on children with poor academic performance. Children who study well will always worry about being surpassed by others, and children who study poorly will feel ashamed.
If children focus on learning itself, there won't be so much extra negative pressure. If the education method of ranking seats according to grades is adopted, children will no longer simply consider learning this matter, but consider what to do if they fail in the exam, which will deepen their inner anxiety and will definitely produce negative pressure. Appropriate pressure helps to promote children's progress, but this negative pressure is not conducive to children's growth.
3. Fight against the self-esteem of children with poor learning.
There is an effect in psychology called the label effect. If teachers arrange seats according to their academic performance, they will undoubtedly label children with poor academic performance as "poor students".
It is very harmful to talk about people from the perspective of educational philosophy. Good academic performance does not mean that this person is good, and poor academic performance does not mean that this person is not good. What's more, the shaping of children in the process of growth is very strong. If you label children casually, it will only hurt their self-esteem and dampen their enthusiasm for learning.
We can think from the perspective of those children who are not learning well. If you are a poor student, you may think: the teacher arranges seats according to academic performance, and my academic performance is not good. Naturally, teachers always encourage students who study well in class. Think about it, too. A poor student like me is not worth encouraging. Forget it. ...
British philosopher Locke once said: "If parents don't publicize their children's mistakes, children will pay more attention to their own reputation. They feel that they are trustworthy people, so they will be more careful to maintain others' praise for themselves. If they publicly announce their mistakes and make themselves feel ashamed, the more they feel that their reputation has been hit, and the more they try to maintain the praise of others, the weaker they are.
Once teachers rank their seats according to their grades, they will divide their classmates into three grades, which seriously infringes on the reputation of children with poor learning. In the long run, children who don't study well are likely to be destroyed, and there is no need to maintain their reputation, which will seriously dampen their enthusiasm for learning.
4. Not conducive to children's long-term development
Before writing this article, I consulted some relevant materials, and many parents agreed to arrange seats according to their grades. Many parents have given surprisingly consistent views. Parents said: Near Zhu Zhechi, it's dark to be near Mexico, and the learning atmosphere is also very important. Children with poor learning are always mixed with children with good learning, which will definitely affect children with good learning.
I believe that parents who can say such things must have a child with good academic performance. If his children don't do well in school, of course he won't say so, because everyone will consider the problem from their own interests.
Parents' comments explain what stereotype effect is. Psychological stereotype effect refers to the fixed view and evaluation of a certain group, and at the same time, it also gives this view and evaluation to the individuals belonging to this group.
To put it bluntly, the stereotype effect is that people are biased against a certain group. Parents think that being with children who study well will only bring trouble to children who study well. In fact, this is a prejudice against children who are not good at learning.
If parents and teachers no longer hold a critical eye on children with poor learning, but tap the bright spots of these children with appreciation, I believe these children will only get better and better.
Treating these children with prejudice will only hurt their self-confidence and enterprise, which is not conducive to their long-term development. What's more, if parents are influenced by stereotypes, they will always be biased against children who are not good at learning. Children are easily prejudiced against others under subtle influence, and this prejudice will continue.
I wonder if you still remember the case of Wu, a student from Peking University, who killed his mother? Wu was a principal since he was a child, and later he was successfully admitted to Peking University, but finally he personally killed his mother.
Take this case because I hope everyone can understand that students who study well may not have a future, and students who study badly may not have a future. Parents and teachers should look at their children with appreciation, not prejudice. Parents should be alert to the influence of stereotypes.
Summary: The educational model of ranking seats according to grades is not conducive to children's long-term development, and it is easy to hit the enterprising spirit of children with poor academic performance, and it is also easy to cause certain negative pressure on children with good academic performance. To sum up, this educational model does more harm than good.
Children have unlimited possibilities in the process of growing up, and no one has the right to label this child and make false statements about his future.
