Mu Mu,
When you were in kindergarten, your parents did not use the strategy of brushing questions, but tried to stimulate your interest in learning.
- Show you English cartoons in Youtube Kids
- Buy you a microscope to observe the surrounding world
- Show you the British BBC cartoon, Number Blocks, to understand the charm of numbers
- I bought you a bunch of books, and allowed you to only look at the illustrations, not the text.
But in the first grade, facing massive academic pressure, you had a very hard time. You often did your homework until 10 o’clock, and we no longer had time to go out for running, cycling, or swimming.
China’s national system is exam-oriented education. Even if you want to be independent, the environment does not allow it, because every parent is competing. Your grades are not satisfactory, I encourage you “you are as smart as others, just because you have too few questions”, but in front of the grades, you will still doubt yourself.
You are 8 years old now, and you will be promoted to the second grade soon. It is foreseeable that you will face huge academic pressure in the future. Since we cannot change the national system, we must recognize it and deal with it.
The first strategy: deal with stereotyped essays and hand them over to your parents to save you time.
The first lie of exam-oriented education “it pretends to be quality education”. The current academic pressure in China has squeezed out students’ after-school time, but the Education Bureau will also arrange some formalistic homework such as love of labor, music exhibitions, and art posters, which further erodes students’ disposable time. If you take it seriously, the last bit of time you can spend will be squeezed, and you will not be able to develop your interests at all.
Formal homework, parents will help you
The Education Bureau will assign some formalistic homework, such as
- The motherland is strong, what changes have happened in the city? Write down your experience.
- The experience of traveling.
- Make a Labor of Love poster.
Parents will help you with homework that you are not interested in
Proposition composition in Chinese is very boring, no children will be interested in it, and they are unwilling to write. Parents will also help you with this kind of homework.
“Summer Homework” is so stupid, parents will help you
Grade 1’s “Summer Life Homework” contains rare words for grades 3-4. What should students do? !
The second strategy is to hit the core – the main course.
After getting rid of all kinds of empty-headed homework, you will have a lot of time to read texts, write, and practice calligraphy. These are boring and hard, but they will help you accumulate a lot of knowledge in a short period of time, so you must do them.
- Do a page of math problems every day
- write every day
- read aloud every day
- write essays every day
- Read English every day, memorize words
The third strategy, balance the holidays.
This is the learning intensity of most students. They let themselves go during the holidays and are exhausted after the start of school.
To balance the workload, there must be time for study during summer vacation and time for play when school starts.
During the winter and summer vacations every year, preview the main courses of the next semester in advance, so that you can keep up with the school’s teaching rhythm after the school starts. Not to stay up late every night. After finishing homework quickly, you can play football, ride a bike, or go swimming.
The fourth strategy is to set aside time to develop interests and fully personalize education.
No one likes to brush questions. Exam-oriented education answers the question “How to learn?”, but it does not answer the question “Why to learn?”.
Mom and Dad will explore with you, make knowledge interesting and apply what you have learned through personalized education that you like, so that you can answer “Why to learn?”.
-
In terms of exercise, you enjoy cycling. We often ride bikes for 20 kilometers in one breath.
-
In terms of entertainment, you enjoy playing games. Mom and Dad helped you pick out well-made games like Plants vs. Zombies and Minecraft.
In order to protect your eyes, your parents only allow you to play “Minecraft” for half an hour a day, but your strong interest can last for a day, and your parents will start with this to achieve the purpose of quality education. In addition, I did something wrong. The games I bought for you are all original English versions, so you can only bite the bullet and chew on English.
Improve Chinese writing skills
You are not interested in the propositional composition of Chinese books. Your interest is in “Plants vs. Zombies” and “Minecraft”. Then we will write diaries, game guides, and encyclopedias of game characters. This summer vacation, you compiled a story collection “Summer Life of Plants”, which introduced the summer life of little peas and little corns, which is a good writing practice.
Improve English literacy
I bought you the original English version of the game guide “The Minecraft Collection”, which contains a huge amount of words, and you are gnawing hard bones every day.
I also bought you the English e-book Epic!, and collected all the books of “Minecraft”, and you are also gnawing words every day.
improve english listening
Watch Youtube Kids for half an hour every day, watch game strategies of foreign players, and practice English listening.
improve spoken english
Parents help you find a foreign teacher and read English game guides together.
Find foreign high school students and discuss how to pass the level of “Minecraft” in English.
I needed to force you to speak English at home before, and you were very unhappy. But now when it comes to Minecraft, you’d rather use English at home.
Improve programming skills
-
Dad took you to try Tynker, Scratch, CodeSpark, and finally your point of interest is Tynker, then we will use Tynker to practice programming skills.
-
Practice coding with the Command Block from the game Minecraft
Your interests migrated from childhood to adulthood, Octonauts in Kindergarten, then Plants vs. Zombies in English, and now Minecraft. I don’t know how long you’ll like the game, maybe it will change. Games are all tools that ultimately serve the purpose of education.
All your current choices seem to be your own subjective will, but they are actually under the protection of your parents.
- The game you play is the game that your parents have carefully selected.
- You can only use Youtube Kids to watch cartoons, and the cartoons are all in English. (Maybe show you some French in the future).
- Your games are also in English.
When educating you, I will also think of the educating of my heavenly father. I am a child of the Heavenly Father, so I should be under the care of the Heavenly Father.
