At present, education still can't get rid of the curse of "score-only theory", and students' cultural achievements are still the primary goal pursued by parents, teachers and schools. However, cultural quality is important, and the quality of labor force is also indispensable. We often sigh that some knowledge is hard to use in society, but what we can really use is not the practical skills we learned in school, such as cooking and repairing household appliances. In fact, today's young people are increasingly aware of the importance of the quality of the workforce, especially in the context of the epidemic. Many young people who are isolated at home, without take-out and convenience stores, often can only look at the "stove".
Labor courses can not only teach students labor skills such as cooking and repairing household appliances, but also improve their labor ability. They can also help students discover and cultivate their own interests in the process of labor, establish career plans earlier, and establish a good life development path. This not only improves students' labor quality, but also promotes the high-quality development of education.
At the same time, the labor curriculum is based on students' respect for labor. Many times, because I have never experienced it, I always have prejudice or misunderstanding about the unknown. If students can personally practice the textbook "weeding at noon and sweating", they will certainly have a deeper understanding of "who knows that every grain in the dish is hard"; If students can get in touch with the daily work of all walks of life through labor courses, they will certainly establish a more equal and inclusive career concept and respect every career and every labor achievement. However, the setting of labor courses should not be "one size fits all", but should also be flexible. First of all, labor classes are mostly physical activities, and there are also some technical activities, which are difficult for primary and secondary school students to fully master. Therefore, we should pay attention to operability and safety in labor class to avoid safety accidents. Secondly, the teaching content of labor class should be arranged reasonably and adapted to local conditions. Students in cities should try more farm work, and children in rural areas should experience more city life, so as to better achieve the purpose of labor class.
Just after the Labor Day holiday, the slogan "Labor is the most glorious" is still ringing in my ears, but in education, how to achieve cultural quality and labor quality go hand in hand is still a big problem. I believe that the upcoming compulsory education labor class will help children master more practical labor skills, let them find interest in labor, and let the whole society gather knowledge of respecting labor and hand over a perfect answer sheet.
