4 starting points for parents to make summer tutoring

Why are so many parents keen on summer tutoring? The principal of a training institution in the Qingxiu District of Nanning City told reporters that, in general, the holiday will be sent to the training institution to participate in a variety of remedial activities, parents out of four considerations. First, from the point of view of placement, the vacation to settle children. Vacation, the child is at home with no one to take care of, self-consciousness and can not, many parents are worried about insecurity, worried about the child to the community to get into bad habits. From the perspective of socializing and settling their children, parents always want to send their children somewhere safe, where someone will keep them under control and minimize problems. Thus, the first thing they think of is always summer tuition institutions. Mr. Zhou, a Nanning citizen, told the reporter that if his child doesn't go to a tutorial school, he has no place to go on vacation. Put him alone at home, not safe, so still choose the summer tutorial.

Secondly, the disciplines to make up for deficiencies and omissions is an important reason and reason for summer tutoring. Many parents believe that if their children are not good enough in any subject, parents will let them participate in tutorials and counseling, so that their children's weak subjects can be improved to make up for the missing foundation. Parents who are motivated by this consideration make up the majority. Parents Ms. Huang said, can not let any one subject dragged behind, the final exam scores reflect which subject scores regression, we have to make up for it, or the consequences will be unimaginable.

Again, parents believe that the child still has a lot of potential and space for development, in order to let the child in all aspects of the icing on the cake, good on the good, many children who have been very good at learning, in the arrangement of their parents, but also in the summer cramming to increase the training efforts. Even some parents do not hesitate to pay a high price to ask a "good teacher" to the child for "VIP" one-on-one tutoring, the purpose is to let the child become even better. In order to cater to the parents of this idea, the reporter found that in recent years, many training schools launched a "VIP" tutorials, one-on-one tutoring and other high-quality services, and even invited master teachers to teach, so that these parents can rest assured that the original has been a very good child to give them to further enhancement.

Finally, as their children face a new curriculum in the next semester, parents are asking for early tutoring and classes to prepare them for the new school year. This is actually the so-called "stupid bird fly first", "smart bird also fly first", anyway, not willing to "behind" in the people. Reporters found in a training school curriculum, for this starting point and set up a lot of courses, such as the second year of physics preparation classes, junior chemistry preparation classes, etc., is to allow children to learn in advance of the next semester's subject courses. A parent is like this: "Let your child learn the new semester's curriculum in advance, after the start of the school year will not have to worry about keeping up with the progress, is considered to be in front of others!"

In short, for different reasons, parents always want to let their children in the two-month-long summer vacation "something", some arrangement, to reduce the emergence of the problem, to improve the performance of learning.

Classification

Marks and grades become the purpose of all kinds of tuition

In the face of a wide variety of summer tuition programs, the children should choose which one? According to school teachers, the choice of tuition programs varies according to the needs, the thinking of parents and the individual. Parents' thinking about their children is always different, and so is the content of tuition. For example, if they think that their children's foreign language ability is poor, they will focus on foreign language tuition; if they think that the foundation of math is not good, they will focus on math tuition. In terms of subject remediation, generally speaking, the majority of remedial programs are aimed at remedying the weaknesses of the child's subject matter.

A junior high school student told reporters, "In our class, there is almost no one who does not participate in the summer tutorials, unless his family is too poor." She said that the subject of tuition has become the focus of the students, she herself also participated in the summer training courses, on the junior preparatory class courses, in order to prepare for the next semester's new courses and preparation for the midterm examination.

In addition to subject learning, there is also a lot of tutoring for children's qualities. For example, parents believe that their children's artistic qualities are not good, or out of the need for various certificates and examinations, parents will arrange for their children to participate in a variety of interest classes. At present, many parents on the pursuit of their children have a variety of level certificates, such as piano, voice, dance, etc., are to be examined, so there is a wide range of programs to be children learn in the summer vacation. In Nanning City Youth Activity Center, a wide variety of interest classes are always full in the summer, parents are keen on grade examination always hope that their children can learn more talents and specialties in the two-month summer vacation. Parents Mr. Li said: "Nowadays society, the competition is too big, the child does not have a little special skills, and later go out can not be based on society, find a job is also very difficult to find." So, he chose to let the child learn the piano and dance, hoping to let the child more than one talent.

In addition, in the summer tutorials, for the college entrance exams for the special tutorials are also a lot, mainly engaged in the subject is still tutorials. Participating in this type of tuition students are often after the start of the school year will be on the graduation class, in the face of the enormous pressure of the school, not only parents, even the children themselves, are also very eager to improve their performance in the summer vacation tutorials. They believe that by participating in summer tuition, they will achieve better results than others in the midterm and college entrance exams. Parent Ms. Liu said, the child's promotion is a major turning point in life, can not be child's play, look into the graduating class, can not give the child to play, should seize the time to cram, can learn a little more is a little. The parents firmly believe that cramming is effective, she said: "cramming, the results will certainly be better than not not cramming!"

Thinking

How children should spend their vacations

In the face of the overwhelming summer tutoring information, to see other children have enrolled, parents consider only "can not lag behind", but did not consider how to spend the vacation is scientific. Some children lament: summer vacation is more tired than going to school, I don't even want to take a vacation. As a parent, all you can think of is to let your child study more and nothing else. In the words of one parent, "What do you mean by vacation science? I do not know. I only know that by the time the test scores worse than others, crying can not come, not to mention the failure of the high school entrance examination, so the summer vacation uniformly have to study, play the project, don't even think about it."

A teacher pointed out that the vacation should be used to rest, rather than everywhere full of cramming. He said that a semester down, the child is very tired, the holiday is to give the child rest, regulation and relaxation ` time, then the activities carried out during the holidays should be targeted and positive. For example, to travel, you can enjoy the country's great scenery and national culture, can let the child to understand our country, appreciate the history of the nation and customs and culture; or you can let the child to experience life, go to be a volunteer is a good choice, can be for the future into the community to lay the foundation; in addition, you can also develop the child's personal hobbies, photography and reading and other hobbies are very meaningful. These activities seem to be all play, but it must be emphasized that vacation is not indulgence, the holiday should be a moderate learning, the two levels add up to a complete and meaningful summer vacation.

So, how should children spend their summer vacation? The teacher pointed out that the summer vacation should include three aspects. First of all, it should be on time and in accordance with the amount of insertion of the school assigned summer homework; secondly, to address the shortcomings of their own learning, some of the learning omissions to make up for the lack of; finally, you can learn through the summer vacation, so that the strong subjects to become even stronger, and become a strong in the strong.

In short, there is a rest also have to learn, summer vacation is considered meaningful. If you just emphasize rest, without the necessary targeted learning, two months of life will lose its due luster. If you just think that children can not rest, the study schedule is full, also can not. Do not take into account the characteristics and rules of children's learning and life, depriving them of the right to rest and adjustment time, is not conducive to the physical and mental development of children. With a dialectical point of view of the summer vacation, rest and study should be a cause and effect of each other, and promote each other: moderate rest can promote learning, moderate learning to improve the quality of rest.
