Winter vacation homework should not be bundled with registration for the new semester and should become a consensus between home and school. To allow students to make full use of their own time, school education and family education need to change their concepts, observer says.
Shanghai Municipal Education Commission issued a notice requiring that primary and secondary schools should not use the completion of winter vacation homework as the basis for registration for new semester. Some students have even been criticized by teachers and interviewed by their parents for not completing homework.
