Make up lessons: There is nothing to do.
A junior two student in a school told us: "The teacher has assigned us tasks. We began to make up lessons on July 5, ended on August 20, and took a week off. "
The author conducted a questionnaire survey on 2 13 students of different grades in different schools in the city. The results show that more than 80% of the students who are about to enter the graduation class will participate in the summer vacation remedial classes organized by the school; A considerable number of students who haven't graduated either attend various training classes and cram schools, or their parents come forward to ask for tutors jointly or separately. In the column of "voluntary", only 3% students choose to fill in "it doesn't matter", and more are "school requirements" or "parental coercion". A student in Xiaochang County said, "I did A, B, C, X, Y and Z while doing it. I hope I can relax in the summer vacation and do something I like. Now I am soaking in soup." Isn't it not allowed to make up lessons? How to make up? "
A teaching director in a town said helplessly, "Although it is forbidden to make up lessons after repeated teaching, the surrounding towns and villages are making up lessons in winter and summer vacations and holidays, so we have to follow the crowd." It's hard to say how effective make-up lessons can be, but if you don't get a few exams next year, it's even harder for you to explain to the society and parents. "
At the gate of a middle school in the city, when the author asked a girl who had just come from home for evening self-study what she was going to do in the summer vacation, she gave a wry smile: "Work hard and prepare for the key points of the exam."
Travel: It's not easy to say I love you.
"I want to go to Guilin, I want to go to Guilin, but I have no money when I have time; I want to go to Guilin, I want to go to Guilin, but I have no time when I have money. " A song "I want to go to Guilin" just tells the helplessness and regret that boys and girls yearn for nature and are full of difficulties.
In the survey, we found that many students are familiar with the scenic spots in the nearby tourist areas such as Shuangfeng Mountain and Jigong Mountain, and they are invited to visit these places for a few days every summer vacation. But they know little about the Three Gorges and Zhangjiajie, which are a little farther away. A senior three student said, "It's not that we don't want to go, but the conditions are not mature. First, parents are uneasy and disagree; Second, we don't have that strength, whether it's economy or time. " Zhang Quan is a senior two student in a middle school in a county, and his Chinese is excellent. In April this year, one of his compositions won the special prize in an essay contest of a magazine in Nanjing. In the summer, I will be invited to participate in the "literary journey" summer camp organized by the magazine. He had been looking forward to visiting the "Stone Town" for a long time, and he finally got it this time.
Compared with Richard cheung kuen, Xu Dong Chun from middle school is not so lucky. He worshipped historical celebrities such as Xu Xiake and Zheng He since he was a child. On the summer vacation when his father died of illness, he was very sad, so he secretly took out more than 100 yuan that he had not saved for a semester and rode to Jiugong Mountain. More than ten days later, when he came home with amazing perseverance, his mother had been lying in bed for more than a week looking for him. 1 1 year-old sister was bitten by a snake while transplanting rice. Speaking of this, Dong Chun is still full of guilt, but he still says that the outside world is wonderful. I finished the mid-term exam this year, so I'm going to Shennongjia to collect some information anyway. He vowed that when he grew up, he would travel all over the country with his own efforts and become a modern Xu Xiake. When he said these words, he seemed to be much older than his peers who were still coquetry in their parents' arms.
Social practice: makes me happy and worried.
In front of a hotel on Chengzhan Road, the author saw such a recruitment notice: "We urgently need to recruit female dishwashers of any age, and the probation period is one and a half months." Li, the shopkeeper, told us that this is actually "directed enrollment". Every summer vacation, many students come here to find temporary workers, and five or six "employment agreements" have been signed before this year's holiday.
A girl surnamed Lin in a middle school said angrily: "I expected to earn some money to pay tuition, but the boss deliberately messed us up." When business is bad, we calculate wages by piece, and when business is good, we say five yuan a day. " Customers are also arrogant and have no respect for us. "
Cheng Jun, a filial student, "has a taste in his heart" about his work. My brother Cheng Ying started a company in Shenzhen after he graduated from Peking University. Every summer vacation, Cheng Jun has to work for a month or two. He said with deep feelings: "I learned a lot of things outside the textbook there, gained a lot of knowledge and got a lot of exercise." But at the same time, he is still worried about the experience that he was almost fooled when he went out alone. He said with great anxiety: "Some students can't adapt to the colorful society, or they are cheated or have nothing to eat, and their body and mind are greatly hurt." He called on young friends not to be too naive and have too many illusions about their work, so that they went out blindly and fought in the south and the north, and in the end, the loss outweighed the gain.
For a long time, the two-month summer vacation has become a corner forgotten by educators and parents. Either a few thick summer homework and review materials, or go to school to make up, make up, make up, and few people care about what they have done. No wonder students are at a loss, complaining, and teachers are nonstop and miserable. As parents and teachers, only by adjusting their perspectives, changing their concepts, raising their awareness, taking summer vacation as an extension of students' school life, and scientifically and reasonably arranging their children's holiday life can they lead a relaxed, happy and fulfilling life.
