After the heat, the temperature gradually dropped.

Along with the temperature drop, there is also the "heat" of off-campus training.

The decline in training fever is due to the "Opinions on Further Reducing the Work Burden of Students in Compulsory Education and the Burden of Off-campus Training" issued by the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council in late July.

  The "double reduction" policy has been implemented, and training institutions have adjusted one after another, from offline to online, weekend to midweek... In the face of such a tutoring class, how would parents choose?

Should we continue to "chicken baby" or let the children grow up happily?

On August 24, a reporter from Shanxi Evening News visited this.

Friday night or the peak period of foreign training

  For this New Deal, 39-year-old Taiyuan citizen Ms. Zhao has been looking forward to it for a long time.

But with the introduction of the policy, her mood is like riding a roller coaster, from the initial excitement to the anxiety after communicating with the parents around her.

  "The'introduction' of the extracurricular class can finally disappear for a while, and the child can not have to work so hard." But the child is about to go to junior high school. If you don't work hard, whether you can't keep up is what Ms. Zhao is most worried about.

  Unlike the anxiety of her mother, Ms. Zhao, the 12-year-old Mengmeng only feels that happiness has come too suddenly.

Speaking of previous summer vacations, Mengmeng used the word "busy", taking dance classes in the morning and English and math classes in the afternoon and evening.

This holiday, due to the "double reduction" policy, the training courses of the subjects have been temporarily suspended.

  "Children are not learning masters. Now they are in junior high school, and the courses are getting harder and harder." Ms. Zhang is worried that she will not make up cultural lessons during the summer vacation for fear that her children will not be able to keep up with their studies.

  Mr. Zhou, whose child is in junior high school, has the same concerns.

In March and April this year, Mr. Zhou booked a subject training class for his second grade children.

Before the announcement of the "double reduction" policy, the children's summer training course was just over.

"It was the child who took the initiative to ask for the training class. I thought that after the class, I would relax completely in August and then go out for a trip." Unexpectedly, the epidemic would come back and the child would not be able to travel. The child lamented that he had a "summer vacation."

  Two days ago, Mr. Zhou received a text message from the education and training teacher. The math training class he had booked for his child was told to be adjusted to "mid-week", and he also supported online teaching.

"I support'double reduction', but now the pressure of entering a higher school is relatively high, and children still have to make up lessons for weak subjects." Mr. Zhou said that from Monday to Thursday, it is unrealistic for children to go to training classes after completing school homework. "To attend classes, only online training is possible."

  In addition, Mr. Zhou also plans to enroll an offline English training class for his children near his home on Friday night.

He predicted that subject training would not be available on weekends, and many parents should, like him, put their children's subject training on Friday night.

  However, he also has new concerns. If it is an online training class at home, how can he let his children use electronic products in a self-disciplined manner?

  In the opinion of Ms. Deng, a second-child mother born in the 1980s, the announcement of the "double reduction" policy may help parents become better.

"You can't go outside for training on weekends. Some parents choose to teach their children at home, forcing them to learn and grow."

  In addition, some parents said that “one-on-one” tutoring will be put on the plan sheet, “Although it is more expensive, the children can’t fall in their studies.” There are even more parents who make appointments and use their own housekeeping skills to focus on training the children.

Education and training institutions seek change

  With the announcement of the "double reduction" policy, topics of change are flooding the education and training industry, and some subject training schools have begun to adjust their main directions.

  On August 14, New Oriental Taiyuan School sent a letter to parents and classmates. The letter stated that it will no longer offer nine-year compulsory education (primary to junior high school) subject courses in the autumn statutory holidays, weekends, winter and summer vacations.

Only part of the courses are offered in the middle of the week for parents and students in need to choose.

After the adjustment, the primary school curriculum will be taught below the midweek line; the junior high school curriculum will be upgraded from 2 hours a week to 3 hours a week, including 2 hours of online teaching and 1 hour of weekend offline self-study.

At the same time, one-to-one customized courses are also offered, and classes are held in the middle of the week.

  Many parents received relevant notices of class transfers. The training classes that were originally scheduled for the weekend were moved to the evening classes from Monday to Friday. There are two modes of "online small classes" and "offline teaching".

  In addition, the reporter found in the investigation that in the face of the turning wind, head education and training institutions such as New Oriental, Good Future, Gaotu, and Yuanjiao have adjusted their sails.

The quality education track is "very lively". Yuandao Guiding launched a new brand "Pumpkin Science" that focuses on STEAM science education, and announced the transformation of quality education; Good Future is greatly increasing quality education, off-campus trusteeship, education consulting services and other businesses...

  Training institutions are also working hard to improve service quality. Mr. Zhou recently received a message from the summer class teacher. In order to provide better and standardized services, Xueersi officially launched corporate WeChat, and personal WeChat will gradually be closed. Said to better communicate with parents.

  During the investigation, the reporter also found that in the face of the new situation, some education and training institutions will integrate and optimize the curriculum according to the needs of parents.

In response to the needs of parents for class on Friday, Lexue Taiyuan Kangda Branch launched a special offline class on Friday, with a maximum of 8 students in each class.

  Ms. Zhang, who has worked in the education and training industry for 6 years, has felt this wave of "changes."

"The announcement of the'double reduction' policy does have a great impact on the industry." Ms. Zhang said that we must face the reality, embrace the policy, and face it positively.

Can the underground group class be stopped?

  Ms. Qi, the parent of a fourth-grade student in the provincial capital, thinks she is a rational parenting child. The children are basically around 10 in the class. She loves reading and has a wide range of interests. Ms. Qi is also very pleased.

But when the second grade started, her familiar parents invited her to take part in a "group class". She was looking for a famous teacher from the former Olympic Mathematics organization, and she set up a studio to work on her own and attend classes in her own home once a week.

  Under the guidance of the "group class mother group", Ms. Qi has applied for the Olympiad Mathematics promotion class, the original intensive reading class, and the large Chinese class. They are all in the form of group classes. The classes are also varied, either at the teacher’s home or temporarily rented. In the meeting room.

  After the "double reduction" policy was announced, Ms. Qi saw parents and teachers in several group classes, rushing to think about various "countermeasures."

  Some people think that the underground group texts belong to the "grey area", and they will not be affected much by the "double reduction" policy.

Some people even believe that the flexible and secretive way of teaching underground group classes will be welcomed by parents who want to continue learning.

However, some people believe that the regulatory measures for group classes will definitely be introduced, "for example, restrictions on the provision of venues, or encouragement of reporting, etc., after all, paper bags cannot keep the fire, so many students go to one place at a fixed time every week. There will always be people around."

Parents look forward to regular and high-quality free online classes

  “There are too many online classes in various institutions now. It’s very disgusting to sell courses all day long.” The parent Ms. Liu told the Shanxi Evening News reporter that she had reported several online classes to her children. "But the teacher's level is very average, and the customer service is often bombarded by phone calls, so she has to forward posters to Moments all day to attract new customers, which makes Ms. Liu a headache, "This is not for education, it is for business!"

  After the "double reduction" policy was introduced, Ms. Liu was full of expectations for the "stronger and better free online learning service".

In her opinion, the offline courses in mid-week are too tight for time, and they will definitely not be considered. "I hope that there will be regular and high-quality free online courses that can really provide children with good learning resources.

  According to the "double reduction" policy, the education department should collect and develop rich and high-quality online education and teaching resources, use national and local education and teaching resource platforms and high-quality school network platforms to provide students with high-quality special education resources for free and cover all grades The learning resources of various disciplines promote the balanced development of educational resources and promote educational equity.

  In fact, under the background of "double reduction", the national primary and secondary school network cloud platform, as an authoritative learning platform built by the Ministry of Education, quickly attracted the attention of parents and students, and the number of online users even exceeded the period of the epidemic.

The platform has launched the learning resources of the main subjects in each stage of elementary school, junior high school, and high school.

The resources on the platform are mainly launched in the form of videos, using the situation of "teacher explanation + multimedia large screen", and the content is divided into course learning and special education.

Curriculum learning includes the study of specific subjects, in which middle school courses are often 20-25 minutes, and elementary school courses are often 15-20 minutes.

  For this course, some teachers and parents said that the source of the course materials is very good, and they are all taught by famous teachers, and the teachers are strong.

The disadvantage is that the interaction is not enough, and the student tracking and feedback mechanism is not strong.

It can only solve the problem of "learning", and the aspect of "learning" needs to be strengthened.
