As early as many years ago, I was concerned about the problem of students' heavy academic burden, so all aspects demanded to reduce the burden, which can be reduced or reduced, but all these years have no effect. The burden of students' schoolwork has not been reduced at all, but it is still increasing and getting more and more serious.
[Survey results show]
On May 18, 2000, the Youth League Committee of Medical College of Jinan University conducted a questionnaire survey on the recognition degree of parents of primary and secondary school students on "the decision to reduce the schoolwork burden of primary and secondary school students" and the activities to study the consequences of "reducing the schoolwork burden". The total number of people in this survey is 239. According to the survey, most parents think that the reason for students' heavy academic burden is that the exam-oriented education and education system are not perfect. However, after reducing the burden, you ask your child where his main spare time is spent. Many parents are worried that their children's homework will be significantly reduced and the time after class will be significantly increased. In terms of parents' views on children's schoolwork burden, more than 200 people think that schoolwork burden is the driving force for children's growth and development. There is no fundamental change in the treatment of children's study time at home before and after the burden reduction. It can be seen that reducing the burden has no effect on students at all.
Listen to your parents.
A parent said: Now you have a happy education. When the college entrance examination score can't reach the admission score, you won't be admitted to college. Who cares? Another parent is more reasonable: the current situation is that if primary schools are not easy to learn, they will not be admitted to good junior high schools. If you don't get into a good junior high school, you can't get into a good high school. If you don't get into a good high school, you can't go to college. This is a link, and it will not work if it is loose.
There are also parents who worry that the fierce social competition now means the relaxation of the school, and many parents will secretly overweight their children, which is a more terrible competition and a more terrible pressure.

cause analysis
Is the burden on students heavy? The survey results show that the burden on students is really heavy now, and the pressure from parents is also great. Therefore, students' academic burden comes from the pressure of parents, schools and teachers, which makes students almost breathless. The root of these three mountains lies in the examination evaluation system of exam-oriented education, with scores above everything else. Under such circumstances, the pressure from all sides naturally makes students unbearable. Therefore, to reform education, we must first reform our education evaluation system, change the functions of screening and selection, and improve students' quality and ability.
The students' heavy burden is mainly manifested in the following aspects: First, the study burden. In addition to normal classroom study every day, parents also take up their children's rest time and play time every day, turning these happy hours into boring studies, even holidays, and sending their children to teachers' homes, children's palaces, remedial classes and other places, so that children can study endlessly. Where can such a child be happy? Second, the workload. It takes a lot of time to complete the homework assigned by a normal teacher. Even if the homework assigned by the teacher is completed, there are also parents' homework. To this end, parents often go to Xinhua Bookstore to see what review materials are available, and buy exercise papers, class cards, a quarter of an hour and other materials for students to continue their homework. It is not uncommon to repeat the same homework, and students complain a lot. Third, the psychological burden. Due to the prevalence of exam-oriented education, the pressure from teachers and parents is particularly great, and children's psychological endurance is limited, and their class rankings are compared with others, especially some students with learning difficulties. Parents' desire for their children's success and their desire for their daughters' success will also affect their children invisibly and cause psychological pressure on them.
The above reasons are destined to reduce the burden on students.
Rational advice
Some people say that to reduce the burden on students, in fact, we have to start with teachers, and only by solving the quality problems of teachers can we reduce the burden on students. This is actually a wrong idea. To reduce the burden on students, we must fundamentally solve the ideological problems of teachers, school leaders, superior leaders, parents and society. Only in this way can we form a situation of * * * management and coordinate the problem of reducing the burden on students.
First, students' burden reduction begins with "adding burden" to teachers. Reducing the burden is to reduce students' heavy academic burden, while "increasing the burden" requires teachers to improve the quality of education by constantly improving their own quality and form a teaching style marked by "pragmatism, efficiency and innovation", thus continuously improving the efficiency of classroom teaching. At this point, Yu Yuping, a Chinese teacher at Dongzhou Middle School in Haimen City, Jiangsu Province, is typical. Teacher Yu never assigns regular homework or sets up classroom exercise books. Homework is to let students read more books and write more compositions. Teacher Yu's teaching methods have attracted the attention of schools and parents, but the results of repeated examinations have reassured everyone. When talking about the experience, Teacher Yu said: "The key to being a teacher is to do a good job in the classroom. Of course, behind the improvement of classroom teaching efficiency is a teacher's preparation outside the classroom. The so-called kung fu is outside the poem. " Teachers should set a goal for themselves-strive to be educators, not teachers. Only in this way can the burden on students be truly reduced.
Second, leaders should not "look at people and test results". As a school leader or a superior leader, it should be the main source of reducing the burden. Because leaders generally look at scores, such as students' academic performance and teachers' teaching performance, an evaluation mechanism of "judging heroes by scores" has been formed. Therefore, leaders can't just look at scores, people can't just look at scores, and even teachers' teaching is no exception. After leaders pay attention to teachers' teaching performance, teachers will strengthen their requirements in this regard. This is understandable, but some teachers can achieve the hard targets set by their superiors by increasing their excessive academic burden. How can we make students' burden not heavy? !
Three, the education department should strengthen the implementation of the document. According to the spirit of the urgent notice issued by the Ministry of Education on reducing the excessive burden on primary school students, some compulsory regulations on reducing the burden have been issued in various places, such as the Ten Ties in Shanxi, the Fourteen Measures for Reducing the burden on primary and secondary school students in Guangzhou, and the rigid regulations on reducing the burden on primary and secondary school students in Guangdong Province. These regulations, iron disciplines and measures have given certain protection from the institutional level, but the real implementation is worrying. When these regulations, rules and measures are implemented below, they all become superficial articles, because when the superior leaders come to check, they just look at the information and then decide, without really asking about the implementation. Therefore, in order to reduce the burden on students, it is necessary to strengthen the implementation of these documents and make mandatory provisions when necessary to ensure that these documents are truly implemented.
Fourthly, students have to rely on their parents' support to lighten their burden. In order to reduce the burden on students, it is not enough for the education department to take actions, but parents should take concrete actions to help. In recent years, the education department has formulated some relevant policies to reduce the burden on students, but the results have been minimal, mainly because parents of students have not reduced the burden on their children. Anxious to make children successful and daughters successful, they are urged to ask for tutors for their children, and even spend a lot of money to sign up for various cram schools for their children, regardless of whether the children need them or not. Saturday and Sunday are supposed to be students' rest time in Japan, but they are forced to study by their parents. Therefore, it is not enough to reduce the burden on students by the education department alone. If parents can't act, the problem can't be fundamentally solved.
Why is it so difficult for students to reduce their burdens? To be simple, let schools, parents and society work together!
