对于小学生小明来说，暑期比平常还累——每天至少要上4节课，从乐器到奥数再到英语课，每天从上午到晚上都排满了。 一位妈妈说，她的女儿只有9岁，但是做作业却经常要到晚上11点甚至12点。 国家天天喊教育改革，喊给学生减负。但是学生们为什么还是这么累呢？背后的原因就是学生面临的升学压力和家长们望子成龙、望女成凤的心态。 为了将来能考上好大学，找到好工作，孩子在很小的时候就被家长送入各种特长班，如英语、奥数、钢琴、舞蹈、画画、游泳等等。其中有一些小孩是出于兴趣爱好去学习，但绝大多数迫于家长的选择，因为特长可以为孩子的升学加分，可以让孩子今后更有出息。"不让孩子输在起跑线上"，几乎成了所有家长的共识。 更有甚者将课外辅导班办到了学校里面。比如有些学校以各种名义要求学生参加课外的补习，也有老师以个人的名义办班收费。在学校、老师和家长的"齐心协力"下，暑假变成了学生们的"第三学期"。 将孩子的假期生活排得满满当当到底好还是不好呢？有的家长认为只有让孩子参加各种培训班才不浪费时间，但是教育专家告诉我们，其实把暑期变为'第三学期'才是对假期的浪费。家长在假期必须留给孩子足够可自由支配的时间和空间。孩子可以参加夏令营，与同伴或双亲共同体验自食其力的露营生活；也可以参加社会实践，自己亲自设计、实施一个实践活动。在如此轻松的状态下度过假期，学生不仅能亲近大自然，提高生活上的自理能力，人际交往能力和团队合作意识等都会获得提高，更重要的一点是，孩子们不会把在这些过程中的学习当成负担。 For pupil Xiao Ming, summer vacation is still more tiring than usual.
Every day there are at least 4 classes, from musical instruments class to Olympic mathematics class, then to English class. From morning to evening every thing is fully arranged.
One mother saying that her daughter is only 9 years old but she is doing homework till late at 11 pm or even midnight.
Every day the nation cries out for education reform and reducing burden for students. But why is it that students are still so tired?
The reason is that students face pressure to enter a higher grade school and that parents have high expectations of their children.
In order to pass the entrance examination to a university, in future; to find a good job; children since early childhood are sent to various specialty classes by their parents. Such as English class, Olympic mathematics class, piano class, dance class, painting class, and swimming class, etc. There are among them some children who will go to further studies out of interest, but the majority of them are forced to accept the choice of their parents. Because specialty can add status to a higher grade school and can offer children an even more promising future. "Can't let a child lose at the starting line"
is almost the consensus of all the parents.
What's more, after-class tutoring classes will be done inside the schools. For example, there are some schools with various names that demand that students participate in extra classes after regular class.
There are also teachers who in their own name collect fees for running a class. At school, teachers and parents "make concerted efforts" to change a summer vacation for students into "a third semester".
Will the children's vacation life be fully arranged in a better way or not? There are parents who think that allowing children to take part in various training classes cannot be a waste of time. But education experts tell us that actually changing the summer vacation into a 'third semester' is just a waste of time. Parents at summer vacation must leave enough freedom for their children to allocate time and space. Children can join a summer camp, and companions or parents can in common learn through personal experience how to earn one's own living from camp life. They can also take part in exposure to real life, make own personal design and do activities that put practice into effect. Going into vacation under such relaxed conditions, students not only come close to nature, they also improve their life by being able to take care of themselves. They acheive improvement of the ability of interpersonal communication and also improvement of the consciousness of team cooperation. An even more important point, children through this process will not regard studies as a burden.
