\”There is no time to read. My children are still doing homework at 11 o\’clock!\” When experts called for attention to reading, a parent cried late at night.

Not long ago, Qinglanjun posted an article titled \”The high school and college entrance examinations have changed. Students who don\’t pay attention to these three subjects will be eliminated!\” The article \”Teachers and Parents Know Already\” is to remind parents to pay attention to the three subjects of Chinese, Physics, and Physical Education, and the key to learning Chinese well is to read more. After reading it, some parents left a message and cried: \”How can I have time to read? My child is still doing homework at this time.\” Looking at the time, it was almost 11 o\’clock in the night… Speaking of too much homework, not only the children felt a headache, but also the parents. It\’s full of bitterness. A mother in Qingdao posted on a forum that her children had to do homework until eight or nine at night every day, leaving no time for extracurricular reading. A mother in Guangzhou also complained that her child did homework until ten o\’clock every day and had no time to do other things. A father in Shenzhen said that his children can only spare ten minutes of reading time every day. When we continue to emphasize the importance of reading and call for attention to reading, many parents also feel helpless. It’s not that they don’t know the necessity of reading, it’s just that today’s children focus all their energy on homework and have no time to read. As parents, we also understand that a certain amount of homework is necessary to consolidate knowledge. But what is puzzling is why so many, so difficult, and even meaningless assignments are assigned? 1. Lots of homework. A mother in Tianjin posted on WeChat Moments and asked: \”In this situation, should I wake him up to do homework or let him continue to sleep? My child is in third grade. If he is in first or second grade, I will let him go to bed and sleep for half an hour. , but in the third grade, I calculated the time needed to complete the homework, how dare I do it? We can fall asleep when we are tired, and we can blame them if we are in a bad mood.\” Then the mother posted another picture of her child. As for the homework list, even if I take the time to write it every day, I still have to finish it by 9 o\’clock. This is just a list of homework for third grade. Other grades, no matter high or low, are similar. A mother in Shenzhen sent a photo of her child still doing homework late at night to the class group, and said helplessly: \”I really couldn\’t bear it today… I\’m sorry, teacher, I don\’t think I made a different sound. It just offends the teacher. I, as a mother, cry for my child, there is too much homework.\” How much homework does this child have to do? Here’s the homework list: Moms are feeling heartache and dads are bleeding. A father whose child is in fifth grade posted: “In fifth grade, the time it takes for my child to complete homework makes my heart bleed.” Another father complained: “My child is only in first grade, but he has to write 4 papers every day. Hours of homework.\” The reporter asked a primary school student how long she had to finish her homework every day. She replied, \”It\’s done at ten o\’clock.\” The implication is that other students are even later… This is just the workload of primary school students, and that of junior high school students. The children have to write until ten or eleven o\’clock in the evening almost every day. A second-year junior high school student made a 95-page PPT complaining about \”too much homework\” and said that \”the teaching assistants left in one semester could circle the earth.\” With so much homework to do, the children naturally have no time to read. They are doing homework even while riding in the car or walking. Shanghai primary school students bring their own desks and do their homework in the subway: Children who don’t bring their own desks write standing up: Or lying on the ground: It’s really not possible,Even if you treat your parents as \”human tables\”, you still have to write: When you are sleepy or sick, you still have to write: 2. The homework is difficult. The homework is not only large in number, but also difficult. How difficult is the homework for primary school students today? A father with a master\’s degree asks for help in his circle of friends every day. The following are some of the questions he asks his friends for help. If this is not difficult, then take a look at the following question: Let alone 20 seconds, I can’t figure it out in 20 minutes. Qing Lanjun felt that his intelligence had been ruthlessly trampled on. There is no hardest thing, only harder. \”There are 16 points in the picture. If any 4 points are connected to form a square, how many can be connected?\” Mr. Qinglan won\’t tell you the answer. Let\’s see how long everyone wants to think about it. Not only the math questions are difficult, but the Chinese questions are also difficult: see whether Xiao Lin \’cryed\’ or \’didn\’t cry\’ and fill in the correct answer in the brackets. 1.Xiao Lin almost cried. 2. Xiao Lin almost didn’t cry. 3. Who said Xiaolin cried? 4. Who said Xiao Lin didn’t cry? 5. No one said Xiaolin cried. 6. No one said that Xiao Lin didn’t cry. Xiao Lin didn\’t cry, but his parents were about to cry. Sometimes, some questions are even confusing. In addition, there are many questions that only historians or archaeologists can answer. Why are elementary school questions so difficult and tricky? Some people say it is to train children\’s thinking, but children\’s cognitive abilities develop gradually. How meaningful is it to make things difficult for them by giving them some crooked and weird questions too early? The most critical thing is that these problems consume a lot of children\’s time, so that they have little time to do more important things such as reading and physical exercise. Qinglanjun posted this question to the parent group, and more than half an hour later, a parent finally figured out the answer. 3. Homework is meaningless Education expert Yin Jianli wrote an article – \”Don\’t Write Violent Homework\”, telling her story My daughter was punished for copying mathematical theorems. If a child can already apply a mathematical theorem, why should he be punished by copying it 10 times? Yin Jianli was very puzzled, so she wrote an article to \”bombard\”: \”Is it not good to write it once after you have memorized it? Why do you have to write it ten times? How long will it take to write it ten times? What can you do with this little time? Okay. We often tell our children to cherish their time, but isn’t it a waste of time to spend an hour or two doing this kind of meaningless homework?” There are many parents who have encountered this kind of violent homework. One parent said: Tianya Community posted a complaint about a child who was punished for copying 200 times after taking an exam and had to do his homework until 1am. After seeing this post, another parent resonated very much and said that his child wrote 8 pages after being punished for plagiarism. There was once a very popular joke: two children fought and were punished by the teacher to write their names a hundred times. One of the children finished writing quickly and was let go. The other child did not finish writing for a long time. The teacher criticized him for writing too slowly. The child held it in for a while, and finally had the courage to say to the teacher: \”Teacher, this is not fair, his name is Yu Yi, and my name is Abdullah Kuyiz Ulitli Gullah. \”All parents and teachers should also reflect when they smile happily! Compared with violent homework, the famous playwright Zou Jingzhi (screenwriter of \”Kangxi Private Interview\” and \”Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan\”) even pointed out that many children nowadaysMy daily homework is meaningless. For example, he didn\’t understand why the child had to repeat the questions he had already done. I don’t understand why the teacher would ask the children to memorize the word like a dictionary, remembering which stroke of a word is horizontally folded or vertically crossed. I don’t even understand why children should be asked to explain words like “gloomy”. The public account Kucheng Campus once published an article about stroke order, and many parents reported that they “don’t understand why their children are required to memorize the stroke order.” Where did the children\’s time go? If you look through your children\’s homework, you will understand that a lot of it is used to deal with this kind of meaningless and time-wasting homework. A parent once described the scene of his daughter doing homework: Sometimes I passed by her room, and her shadow was cast on the ceiling by the light of the desk lamp. The shadow had no brilliance. I have never imagined any outstanding figure through this shadow, not Einstein, not Whitman. My feeling is that a small worker in a workshop is doing her most boring job. Yes. The vast ocean of homework has already engulfed the children. Appropriate and appropriate homework is reinforcement for children, while excessive and meaningless homework is destruction for children. All parents who care about their children’s education understand the importance of reading, but who can do anything about it?
