Parents' views
In fact, as early as when the "Opinions" was released, many parents had heated discussions.
Among them, the highest concern is the rise in sports points.
Some parents believe that "this is a nightmare for children who don't like sports and are born with poor physique"; but there are also many parents who agree.
"Children now study and study every day, their physical fitness is worrying, and they really need to pay attention to physical education." Kunming citizen Ms. Ding said that since her son went to junior high school, she sacrificed a lot of time for exercise due to heavy schoolwork and hoped to pass the implementation of the new policy. One situation is improved.
There are also parents who believe that this move is "reversing" school education.
"On the one hand, it will force schools to pay more attention to the cultivation of students' physical fitness, and arrange cultural and sports courses in a more balanced and reasonable manner. On the other hand, it will greatly improve the teaching quality of sports, music, and art." said Zhou Min, a citizen of Kunming.
Teacher Huang, a physical education teacher in a middle school in Yunnan, said with a smile, "Finally, there is no need to let the class anymore."
"In the past, physical education was a variety of courses, one would be borrowed by a Chinese teacher, and another would be borrowed by a math teacher." Teacher Huang said that the new policy has raised the sports score to 100 points. I believe schools and parents will pay more attention to sports. In class, the physical fitness of students will also be improved.
However, many parents have a negative attitude towards the new policy.
Mr. Shi, a citizen of Kunming, believes that under the premise that the overall learning task is not reduced, blindly increasing the scores of physical education subjects will increase the burden on parents and students.
"Although increasing the scores of sound, physical, and beauty can improve students' physical quality to a certain extent, we are also very worried that this will become another kind of exam-oriented education." said Ms. Zhang, a parent of a junior high school freshman in Kunming. In the past two years, the rope skipping training class has become a new and popular training class for many parents. The test-taking thinking behind this is worthy of vigilance.

expert's point
Li Changji, director and professor of the Department of Education of Yunnan Normal University, believes that from the perspective of pedagogy, the reform is of great significance.
On the one hand, it will advance the basic education curriculum and education reform, guide the high-quality and balanced development of compulsory education, and promote the comprehensive and healthy growth of students.
On the one hand, it also sends a signal to the society, which helps to establish a social atmosphere that values sports and aesthetic education.
"In fact, a healthy body can not only keep children full of learning energy, but also help dispel negative emotions and play an irreplaceable role in maintaining mental health." Li Changji said that this reform is of long-term significance. Reform, I believe will benefit more children.
Regarding the concern that sports scores may increase or become another form of examination, Li Changji believes that this concern is unnecessary.
He analyzed that the "Examination Program" clearly defined the content of junior high school students' physical exams including: basic physical fitness test, special skill test, physical fitness monitoring and competition bonus points. This is different from the simple physical exams in the past and focuses more on normal exercise.
This setting also reflects the education department's consideration of this issue.
In this regard, Wu Hua, a professor at the School of Education of Zhejiang University, believes that students are not industrial products, and theory and practice have proved countless times that it is not necessary or necessary to require students to use a unified standard or plan.
"The correct direction can only allow schools to interact with the market, and innovations in this direction should be made, otherwise there is no need to grab the runway." Wu Hua repeatedly emphasized that all reforms in the education field should be oriented towards ensuring and expanding the autonomy of schools. Practices and measures to the contrary are doubtful, and we must be cautious.
