Pro: Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to attending cram school. Tell students who love learning that attending cram schools can learn more knowledge and broaden their horizons; There is also a constraint on students who are not good at learning, so that they can have a good learning state, avoid the situation that they don't understand in class and are not taught after class, and perhaps explore their inner potential.

Against each other: in the eyes of parents, it is all for the good of their children, so that they can have a good tomorrow and a good future. In their eyes, learning is the whole life of children, and they are afraid that children will delay learning when they play. And this kind of life is undoubtedly very monotonous, boring and boring, which obviously goes against our playful nature. Without adjustment, life will be as dull as the food we eat without salt. So some students can only play secretly with fear, or learn while playing. At the same time, it also brings a new problem that makes many parents anxious and confused: children always muddle along in their studies. When a child can't see the prospect of leisure, isn't he just fooling around there? Playing is a child's nature and our desire. Make the child look like a top, there is no time to stop, stay at home, and soon go to other cram schools. Is this really good?

On the contrary, the weekend is a long-term study by the National Education Bureau. Find two days to relax on the seventh day of each week, so that children and adults can relax their nerves in their study and work, but most people's weekends are occupied by rigid study! If it is necessary to study on weekends, why doesn't the Education Bureau designate seven days a week as study? Adults have a point: "We can't let our children lose at the starting line. If we want to keep up, we have to learn!" " This seems to make sense! But as the Old Man in the Sea reveals, people try to distort the original rules of the world and are finally punished. Children are not happy to study, but just study hard; Old peanuts squeeze oil! Forced, not what you want. Does it work? It is difficult for your own ideas to become others' ideas. Please pay attention to your parents! There are no poor students, only unqualified and defective teachers and parents. Understanding children is a hunger and a problem that parents must definitely pay attention to! The weekend is your own! Don't be compromised by others! So we don't think we should go to cram school on weekends.

In recent years, under the slogan "No matter how poor you are, you can't have poor children", the tutor market is very popular. Many teachers bring all kinds of students at home, and some teachers introduce students to know each other, euphemistically saying: help each other and benefit each other. Walking on every stairway or advertising column in every building, you can see "Parents who need tutoring, please contact me. . . "Wait for the flyer. I have also heard of the ups and downs of many parents asking for a tutor. Most of the people who started to ask for tutors were high school graduates, then junior high school graduates, and now primary school students are also asking for tutors. Parents hope that their children will not lose at the "starting line". However, parents don't really know their children, just don't want to "lose" blindly. There is no need to hire a tutor. They don't ask their children for advice, and they don't think "invited is better than not invited." As a result, the money was spent, but what I bought was complaining.

Students attending cram schools on weekends do more harm than good.

I think it's better to ask the tutor or the class teacher. Be careful in class. If not, you can ask. If you review in time, you don't have to go to cram school.

It's good to go to cram school. Look, I am in English cram school every week, so my English is better. Lol recommends you to go too: shake hands.

Of course I am positive: because weekend cram schools can consolidate knowledge, and I can also ask my tutor questions in class that I don't understand. (But you can also ask the teacher: l: l: l: l: l: o: o: d: d: d: d: d hee hee) But it's not good for us to go to cram school on weekends, because we are also very tired after class from Monday to Friday:' (:'(:'(.

Now I am in junior high school, I have more homework, and my study is not as easy as before. On the rest day, after finishing the homework assigned by the teacher, we should have a rest and have some fun. this is

Only in this way can work and rest be combined.

In fact, if a person knows how to arrange, he will never give up extra-curricular study just because of a little bit, because they believe that time is squeezed out, reasonable arrangement of time can still combine work and rest, and tutoring can increase knowledge. Why not?

We are now in a period of growth and development. If we are too tired, it is not good for growth and development! Do you want us to freak out?

Anti-China immigrants, whether from Chinese mainland, Hongkong or Taiwan Province Province, take it for granted that family education is a part of their children's education.

According to the data of the Census and Statistics Department of Hong Kong, the tuition expenses of students in Hong Kong have increased sharply, and the overall tuition expenses have increased by 25% in five years. Last year, this figure was about HK$ 300 million per month. Calculated by 1 year class hours and 10 months, the annual tuition expenses of all students in Hong Kong are as high as 3 billion.

In this summer vacation, the competition between cram schools is particularly fierce. In addition to sending a large number of "star tutors" to publicize and grab students, major cram schools have also seen job-hopping and digging crowds, and set off a series of lawsuits about recovering tuition fees and dividends. And a series of lawsuits have revealed that the income of "star" tutors in Hong Kong is even richer than expected. For example, K.Oten, an English tutor, earns as much as 6.5438+0.7 million yuan a month.

The popularity of cram schools in Hong Kong is related to the incorrect concept of cram schools in the whole society. General cram schools focus on teaching knowledge and helping students deal with difficult problems in their homework. The salaries of teachers who teach in these cram schools are basically the same as those of teachers who work in schools.

Hong Kong cram schools, famous for their cram schools, include modern education, imperial education and compliance schools. Many tutors who enjoy astronomical salaries only graduate from middle school, so it is very difficult for teachers. However, because they don't focus on teaching textbook knowledge, they focus on analyzing the test questions and grading standards of Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination and Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination in recent ten years, and then tell students which key points need to be reviewed and which ones don't, and encourage students to review selectively. In addition, they will provide a large number of simulated test papers for students to practice and analyze their answering skills. So their teaching results are completely practical. Naturally, what students learn in cram schools is not knowledge, but examination skills.

The reason why the author puts forward "Hong Kong-style tutoring" here is because this method is not unique to Hong Kong. In Chinese mainland or Taiwan Province Province, there are quite a few tutorial schools, all of which aim at pursuing exam results. This unhealthy way of supplementary education naturally erodes and subverts our original educational concept. The conclusion is that in a society where tutoring is not popular, if your child chooses tutoring, the result will be easier to get high marks than others; But when everyone is memorizing, the average score goes up. If your children don't take extra lessons, their grades will naturally fall behind others.

At present, there are no fewer than 30 cram schools in the market, including abacus mental arithmetic, Olympic mathematics, English classes, special classes of art, dance and music, advanced classes of physical mathematics, etc ... all kinds of names; Advertisements can be seen everywhere in front of schools, downtown areas and residential areas. How do the students who make up the lessons do in school? Are they all voluntary? What age group do most of them belong to? Where did they all come from? Do summer cram schools have many advantages or disadvantages? With these questions, the author launched a three-day "unannounced visit".

High, middle and low grades are uneven.

According to the survey, some students who attend cram schools are really unsatisfactory and need extra efforts. And many students have excellent grades, but they also come to this place. Does he really need to make it up? The answer is no, of course. In addition, we also find that the families of students who sign up for tutoring are generally rich, while there are very few children in rural areas. Will this widen the gap between urban and rural areas and the gap between the rich and the poor in another form? Will this cause educational inequality in another sense? This is all worth thinking about.

The polarization is serious, and most of them are forced.

In the process of investigation, the author found that the polarization of tutorial students is serious, from five years old who just went to kindergarten to senior three, most of them are senior three, and there are fewer junior high school students in the middle. "How nice it is to let children learn more things that they can't learn in school during the summer vacation, develop their potential and promote their all-round development!" Many parents will say this when answering why their children are sent to cram schools at such a young age. And more high school students "steal" because they are afraid of being left behind in the college entrance examination.

Experts suggest standardizing guidance to cool down the "family education fever"

With the coming of winter vacation, the tutor market is booming again, and topics related to tutor have once again become the focus of people's attention. Although in recent years, some local education administrative departments have issued a "ban" on teachers engaged in paid tutoring. However, it is puzzling that while applauding the "ban" policy, the tutoring market has not stopped, such as "high-priced tutoring", "full-time tutoring" and "preschool tutoring", which have caused controversy in various places.

Paid tutoring has been repeatedly banned.

In order to improve teachers' professional ethics, Dezhou Ercun Primary School in Pudong, Shanghai once launched the "Teacher's Ethics Commitment" throughout the school, clearly saying "no" to eight behaviors such as paid tutoring, and parents have the right to report. Once the report is confirmed to be true, the school will punish the parties according to different situations, such as withholding bonuses and not appraising them.

However, in the face of the school's behavior, although parents generally recognize the school's practices, when it comes to their children, they have a small abacus in their hearts. A parent believes that as long as a teacher is willing to tutor his children, he will not only report to the school, but also resolutely keep the teacher secret. What are the reasons for parents' "duplicity"?

"In addition to intensified social competition, unequal educational resources, parents' comparison psychology and conformity psychology, the lack of school education is also an important reason for the strong demand for tutoring. Sun, deputy director of the Youth Research Institute of Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences and deputy director of the Shanghai Family Education Research Center, said. He believes that now not only students with poor grades will ask for tutors, but some students with good grades will ask for tutors. " Students are behind in their grades. If they can't get targeted guidance and consultation from teachers at school, parents may ask for tutors. In addition, if the school education can't meet the expanding learning contents such as instrumental music, dance and model airplane, students and parents will also find tutors. "

Cui, an associate professor in the Department of Psychology of East China Normal University, said: "The phenomenon of family education exists not only in China, but also in Japan and South Korea. Because in eastern culture, parents regard their children as' private property' and will constantly arrange for their children to learn more knowledge and let them' add value'. "

The advantages and disadvantages of tutoring need to be viewed comprehensively.

During the interview, the reporter heard many parents' statements, such as "Children can get answers in time if they have questions, and they can get more knowledge from teachers if they have no questions", "Asking a tutor can make children feel safe and eliminate their fear of exams", and so on. Is that really the case?

A recent "empirical study on the relationship between schoolwork burden and academic performance" conducted by Shanghai Academy of Educational Sciences shows that students' academic performance is not directly proportional to the number of tutors, and students with too many tutors may not have good academic performance.

The subjects of this survey are 6505 students from 23 primary and secondary schools in 5 districts of Shanghai. Among the respondents, 38.7% of primary and secondary school students participated in paid tutoring or subject remedial classes outside the school. In the survey of seventh-grade students, it is found that students without tutors have the best grades, and the more tutors, the worse their grades. When tutoring or making up lessons more than three times a week, the performance drops obviously.

Dr. Tang, the person in charge of the project and the Shanghai Academy of Educational Sciences, told the reporter that good academic performance can not be obtained by blindly increasing the study time. "So whether children need to ask for a tutor, they must first seek their own opinions, and secondly, it will vary from person to person."

Experts point out that tutoring can help some children learn, but the negative effects can not be ignored: children's self-esteem will be hurt and their self-confidence will be shaken; Asking a tutor is also easy to make children dependent, which leads to the poor quality of classroom lectures. More importantly, having a tutor increases the children's learning burden and takes up the poor spare time.

Sun also raised his own concerns: "Some parents find full-time tutors for their children, which is a misunderstanding of education. Family education and school education cannot be replaced by family education. " He suggested that parents should put more energy into helping their children develop good study habits.

Normative guidance is better than hard plugging.

"When a demand rises to the level of the public, it must have its realistic rationality. Simply hoping for a ban will not achieve the expected results. " Cui said: She believes that we should also have a peaceful attitude towards the "tutor craze". Although there are some problems in family education, its strong pertinence does make up for the deficiency of current school education in meeting individual needs to some extent.

A study by Mark Berry, president of the World Federation of Comparative Education Societies, shows that extracurricular tutoring, including tutoring, has become a huge industry in many Asian countries. Reports from Japan show that 24% of primary school students and 60% of middle school students have participated in psychological counseling; In 2003, the annual income of private counseling institutions in Korea reached US$ 6,543.8+US$ 02.4 billion.

"Standard guidance is an effective way to solve difficult problems. Simple shielding will only give illegal institutions and individuals an opportunity. " Sun Dui said: He thinks, on the one hand, classroom teaching should be the starting point. Schools should strengthen management, pay close attention to classroom teaching order and teaching efficiency, arrange teachers to answer questions for students in their spare time, pay close attention to the construction of teachers' morality, improve students' comprehensive quality as much as possible, create various learning environments and resources, and strengthen the construction of evaluation mechanism for teachers' education and teaching quality. On the other hand, while institutionalizing and standardizing the existing tutor market, the government can set up tutor service departments at district and county levels to examine the qualifications of tutors, register them and announce them to the public.

In addition, teachers and parents also put forward suggestions: I hope to set up a tutor management center to strengthen the evaluation and management of tutors, and tutors must hold certificates; City, district and county governments and schools should establish three-level management rules and regulations. If teachers are not serious and responsible in school teaching, the government should have clear regulations on how to deal with them. Establish a perfect avoidance system, and teachers are not allowed to give paid tutoring to our students; At the same time, reform the contents and methods of the entrance examination. (Ji Lin)

First, it is easy to increase the extra burden on children subjectively, because after all, the school has arranged holiday homework.

Second, the cram school is loose in learning, which may not have a good effect on the knowledge that needs to be memorized, and may even be counterproductive.

Third, many cram schools are not standardized, especially the teachers in cram schools can not be guaranteed, the learning effect can not be guaranteed, the correctness of learning methods and teaching methods and the guidance for children's learning can not be guaranteed.

Fourth, children have different personalities. Forcing children with strong self-study ability to attend remedial classes may stifle their interest in learning.

The existence of cram schools is the result of our current education system. In today's exam-oriented education, our children's choices are passive. After all, the competition for survival is cruel. What can we give our children? It is the best choice for children to master the ability to adapt to competition. If you don't have a lot of money, even so, let your children master the skills that society needs. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish! The children are on summer vacation and we have to go to work. Children's self-discipline in learning is not high, leaving children alone at home is basically wasted on watching TV or playing games online. Moreover, the pressure of the exam is so great now that the school does not organize make-up classes or enroll children in summer training classes in society, which can not only urge children to study, but also reassure us. Therefore, some students' parents said that summer training courses should not only be blocked, but also be blocked and combined, and organizing appropriate forms of holiday group activities can help parents solve the problem of their children staying at home alone.
