@Concentrated Destruction: I don’t know if it’s an isolated case in my province or a common phenomenon, I accompanied my brother to do his homework for two days and found that the basic individuality and freedom of a middle school and high school student is now in a cramped to silly situation. He is 13 years old, nine subjects, each with a special WeChat group, winter break homework content announced the same day, specify which subject to do which page, in a nail-like software photo upload. The more ridiculous is that there is a separate breakout game App for math, one level a day, to do the questions on the phone, we two pouted and looked for half a day to open the root how to type out on this system. We both add up to almost 40 years old, light seven or eight middle school math breakthroughs to do a half hour, sweating. A submit actually have to do wrong, ½ x we wrote into x / 2 this chicken break system can not be recognized, pulling down the average score of his quiz I also quite guilty. This is just one of about a dozen of these incredibly small tasks that have to be completed and photographed and uploaded every day.
At 13 years old the school still doesn’t trust him to plan his own winter break homework schedule. Ten years ago I went to school in the same place, and if I planned to go back Home next month, my sister and I would count the days to get a little more homework done to save Time for painful fun. Whether it’s to finish your homework right after vacation or to make up for it before school starts, it’s a decision that children of this age can afford to make on their own, so why not let it go?
Ten years ago we still had school literature publications, clubs, soccer as an optional sport, minority students taking us to dance in a pot-boiler on Sundays, and no uniforms on days when the flag was not raised. Ten years later they barely even have running gym classes. Yesterday the two of us shopping, he loved a shaped thermos, I want to buy him, he said not to buy the school does not allow such a cup, the teacher said like street gangsters. The school also does not allow students to wear down jackets with fur collars. God, a fur collar on what harm to the rate of advancement? He had previously liked a down jacket with a very splashy print, but asked about it and didn’t buy it because the teacher said it would be too conspicuous unless he hid it inside his school uniform.
Every student was cut exactly the same.
I asked if we couldn’t do the homework ahead of time, but he said that every day was different and he couldn’t predict what tomorrow’s homework would be. To prevent students from chasing progress, the homework for the first day of vacation is page 49 of winter Life, and the next day maybe page 56. With such a one-size-fits-all approach, teachers are tired, Parents are tired, and students are even more tired. He took the first place in his class this year, has not practiced for a long time, and like every student, is a helpless numb and standardized exhausted skin.
The following excerpts are from some of the netizens’ responses.
@MilkCapNotSeparate: …… let my child on a bad school, I do not expect him on what Tsinghua and Peking University what much success, learn something they want to learn to do something they want to do, happy after a lifetime is enough, after all, the child is not my appendage is not my climbing object.
@Eating a Family barrel once in a while: I really don’t think there will be any good children growing up under this kind of training, to put it badly, they are Pavlov’s dogs. The actual fact is that you will not have free will, no independent thinking ability, can only complete the assembly line work, not to mention the ability to create. The next generation is hope, and I really don’t want to see that hope extinguished in the cradle.
@onlyoung77: I’m now having Nightmares about being in junior high school. The current view of Education is really scary, and what’s even scarier is that many parents are in favor of asking their children to “fit in”.
The @actuallynotgaijin: This is the de-individualization of the put, feeling like what institutions cultivate. The children are taught to obey as long as they are obedient and don’t need to have personal thoughts.
@Qing strain: when the teacher is also very suffocating ah, my mother more than 50 years old, has been on winter break to approve homework on the phone every day? I’m all convinced, who rules ah ……
@V=smile_a_ru: I think of my colleague’s children, in the first grade, before the start of the school year, the teacher even the height of the water cups are prescribed, of course, can be said to be in order to put in the drawer so the height, but the teacher also specified that no stainless steel insulation cups, the name on the book font size location, there are individual parents did not pay attention to be carried to the parents group criticism, let themselves go to claim, simply terrible ……
@heeeeehang: growing up being molded into a screw-up.
@-SouthLeafCherish-: daily homework pages are prescribed really too terrible right …… insulation cups and down jackets also really shocked me ……
@SaSaLand: …………… I look so suffocating ah
@ChickenDeleRollingRolling: my niece homework is also like this, do it on the app, similar to the content of the day of the break-in to know, take her out to travel also have to take the pad to squeeze out time to do these topics, never is the first month of summer vacation to do homework left time open to play I look at the baby now is too poor. Situated in Shanghai.
@fu eh eh: this is not often said why college students are prone to fall, because before are managed to death, and so have the space for self-management and planning, completely do not know how to do.
@nottootiredsmallhu teacher: as a teacher, I am also helpless, feel stifled the children’s personality and freedom too much, school leaders’ ideas I really do not understand.
