Do boys need to enter school one year later? Children's education is also a very important part for us, so we have to send our children to school when they are older, so we are also very particular about their schooling. Let's share it.
Do boys need to enter school one year later? 1 A number of surveys show that boys' learning ability, psychological status, classmates' relationship and teacher-student relationship are generally weaker than girls'. Boys are not as good as girls in traditional fields such as mathematics, experiments and computers, and many high school girls are more than boys.
In modern society, not only parents are under great pressure, but also children are under great pressure. Parents are worried that their children will lose at the starting line and send them to kindergartens and primary schools early. However, experts have found that boys of the same age lag behind girls in physical and psychological development, so should boys enter school one year later? Education experts in Guilin also discussed this.

Kindergarten teacher
Viewpoint: The boy is only temporarily behind.
Although the 5-year-old Xiao Ming is shorter than the girls of the same age, his performance in class is not as good as that of the girls in class, and he is often bullied by girls in kindergarten. Xiao Ming's mother is very depressed, and she has a retreat from "not going to Xiao Ming's kindergarten", but she is worried that her children will be lonely at home, which is not good for their mental health.
In fact, there are many boys like Xiao Ming in early education institutions, kindergartens and primary schools. Compared with other girls of the same age, their height develops slowly, but they are at a disadvantage in running and other competitions. Many boys, like Xiao Ming, are not as delicate as girls in hand-made gadgets, and their performances are often not in place. They are more likely to lose concentration, study harder than girls, and get worse grades.
"This is the characteristic of children's growth and development," said Qin, director of E-Bay Kindergarten in Guilin Australian Garden. "Judging from the annual physical examination of students in E-Bay Kindergarten, the height and weight development of girls will be faster than that of boys. "
Qin pointed out that whether it is IQ or EQ, whether it is physical or psychological, boys' physical and mental development in childhood will lag behind girls. But even so, Qin does not approve of boys entering school one year later.
Like Teacher Qin, Sun Guangfen, director of Guilin Good Boy Kindergarten, also believes that boys are only temporarily behind. After entering primary school, boys can still learn knowledge well. After entering middle school, their learning ability will improve rapidly. Therefore, it is not recommended that boys enter school one year later.
"Whether boys are enrolled in school late or not cannot be generalized, but should be decided according to the actual situation of boys." Qin suggested that parents should consider whether a boy should enter school one year later according to his concentration, self-care ability and language expression ability. "If the child's concentration is insufficient, he may walk around in the classroom; I won't ask for help, and I will pee my pants and so on. It is recommended that boys go to school one year later. "

primary-school teacher
Viewpoint: Late admission is more conducive to boys' study.
The reporter visited several primary schools in Guilin, such as Ronghu Primary School and Chuanshan Primary School, and learned that the average age of all primary school students in Guilin is 6 years old. So, how do boys and girls who go to school at the age of 6 compare in their study and life?
In several primary schools visited by reporters, teachers generally believe that boys are more active, perform better in school when they are older, are willing to attend classes, absorb quickly, and will soon develop good study habits. A fifth-grade teacher at Ronghu Primary School in Guilin said, "Generally speaking, in a class, children's grades change smoothly from lower grades to higher grades. The students who have achieved good or bad grades in recent years are all those. So the first grade of primary school is very important for children. "
Teachers pointed out that in the lower grades, boys' concentration, learning attitude and academic performance are indeed worse than girls', because boys are more active and naughty, and the top ten in the class are also boys.
But if boys can enter school one year later, they will be at the same "starting line", and their level will be higher-their concentration will be improved, they will be more obedient, they will learn to attend classes, and their grades will naturally be good. This is also one of the reasons why boys get better and better grades in senior grades.
Teachers generally think that children's starting is very important, and they can't learn well at first. In the future, they need more thoughts and energy to train their children in order to reverse the situation, and it is easy to leave psychological shadows such as inferiority. Therefore, it is suggested that boys should be older before going to school.
Psychological consultant
Viewpoint: Boys who enter school late are stronger inside.
"Boys' psychological maturity is slower than girls', and they are easily frustrated and have an inferiority complex. It is recommended that boys enter school one year later. " Du Yu, a psychological counselor at NLP College in Guilin, said that he often received many similar cases in the process of psychological counseling. The winter and winter of the first day of this year is a typical example. Dong Dong also goes to school at the age of 6. They didn't develop good study habits when they entered school, rambled in class, didn't pay attention to the class and got poor grades. Later, my mother found Dongdong more and more introverted, rarely participated in group activities, and interpersonal communication became worse and worse, so she took Dongdong to do psychological counseling.
Du Yu said that there are many boys like Dongdong. When I first entered school, I was not fully affirmed and easily felt inferior in difficulties. Once this psychological factor is formed, it will have a great influence on the child's growth process.
Du Yu introduced that from the perspective of educational psychology, children's psychological development has three obvious stages, namely 0-3 years old infancy, 3-7 years old infancy, and 7- 14 years old childhood. The 6-year-old child is still at the age of free will and can't obey the discipline. Seven-year-old children are a dividing point of their psychological development. Their minds are more mature, gradually form a sense of rules, learn to abide by discipline, be more resistant to pressure and adapt to the current campus environment.
"With the progress of society, children's IQ is developing faster and faster, but their mental maturity has not accelerated simultaneously." Du Yu said, "Maybe 6-year-old children can achieve the same results as 7-year-old children in study and intelligence, but 7-year-old children have an advantage in interpersonal relationships and getting along with classmates." The disadvantage of boys who developed later than girls in all aspects is even more obvious at this time.
Do boys still need to go to school after one year? 2 Naughty, the results are not as good as girls, the dropout rate and crime rate are higher than girls ... Once upon a time, boys were synonymous with "trouble". A few days ago, a survey report deepened the boy's "sense of crisis" and aroused social concern.
Research by Sun Yunxiao, deputy director of China Youth Research Center, shows that boys' physical and mental development is obviously slower than that of girls, and they are impulsive and have low control.
Boys have more troubles than girls.
"The boy crisis is mainly reflected in learning, psychology, physique and society." Sun Yunxiao pointed out that boys of all ages are facing the crisis from kindergarten, primary school, middle school to university.
Take the study as an example. From 2006 to 2008, among the 50,000 national scholarship winners in China, the number of college girls was about twice that of boys. Looking at the psychological crisis, the proportion of Internet addiction among male adolescent netizens is 13.29%, while that of female netizens is 6. 1 1%. Among the adolescents with Internet addiction, the proportion of males is 68.64%, which is much higher than that of females (3 1.36%).
The boy crisis is not unique to China, but has become an international phenomenon. In Britain, girls are better than boys in almost all exam subjects. In the United States, boys drop out of school earlier than girls and leave the formal education system.
Boys need to "teach students by gender"
"The crisis of boys' growth is not only caused by physical retardation. "The research team believes that there are three main reasons for the current boy crisis: First, the fact that boys are backward in development has been ignored. The research shows that the development level of brain language area of 5-year-old boys can only reach the level of 3-and-a-half-year-old girls, and boys generally lag behind girls in physical development and psychological development. Therefore, Sun Yunxiao suggested that parents should never let boys go to school before the age of 6. Second, it ignores the different learning styles of boys and girls. Third, it limits the growth needs of boys. Boys like adventure and running. For safety and quiet reasons, many schools often prohibit students from running between classes.
Professor Zhu Yongxin, vice president of China Education Association, said that under the background of taking entrance examination as the center, it is easier for girls to give full play to their advantages by following steps, obeying orders, practicing repeatedly and giving priority to memory.
How to save boys and train men in the new era? "It is very important to change the attitude towards boys and establish a gender-based education model." Sun Yunxiao put forward four specific countermeasures: first, change the attitude towards boys and accept the fact that boys are more vulnerable; Second, the father should be the boy's role model and guide; Third, mothers should be brave in "stocking" boys; Fourth, schools and families should teach according to gender.
