Why are young connecting mechanisms so popular?

Just entering the new year, many parents of kindergarten students in large classes are not calm: after the new year, should they continue to let their children study in large classes or go to small connecting counseling institutions? This became a headache for them.

Xinxin's mother, who lives in Dongcheng District, Beijing, told the reporter that although the principal repeatedly stressed during the parent-teacher meeting, this is not only the requirement of the Education Commission, but also for the good of the children. However, compared with the children in the neighborhood who are half a year younger, Xinxin's spelling and math cognitive abilities have fallen behind. "As parents, we are also very contradictory. On the one hand, we think it is good for her to have a happy childhood, but that means that as soon as she enters school, she is not at the starting line with other children. "

Recently, the Ministry of Education issued the Notice on the Special Governance of "Primary School" in Kindergartens, which includes five aspects, such as teaching primary school content in advance. However, the heavy-handed attack by the education department cannot alleviate parents' anxiety. Instead, they seek new ways for children to "grab schools", and young connecting institutions are therefore popular.

Why is it difficult to advocate "zero-based enrollment"

"Master 1 0,000 Chinese characters before entering school, master 23 initials and 24 finals, and learn addition and subtraction within 1 0,000 ..." For a while, this became the standard slogan of young connecting institutions.

Recently, the reporter visited a number of youth gathering counseling institutions in Xicheng District and Chaoyang District of Beijing, and found that these institutions no longer flaunt these goals. On the contrary, the cultivation of children's comprehensive ability has become a new publicity highlight.

Mr. Wang's daughter, Xiao Wei, is 6 years old. She went to kindergarten before she was 3 years old. Now all the children in the same class are in primary school. Because Xiao Wei's birthday was in September, she couldn't enter primary school that year, but Mr. Wang thought that Xiao Wei's mind and physical fitness had met the requirements of primary school, and there was no need to go to a large class for another year, so she chose to report her daughter to a small shift.

He was moved by the slogan of a youth bridge class downstairs in the community. This bridge-building organization, established in 2009, promotes that children should not only connect knowledge, but also connect ability. "After half a year of enrollment, she has risen from one or two jumps to more than 60 jumps in 30 seconds." Mr Wang said proudly.

Qiqi's mother has another consideration for her son to attend the Youth League. "Public kindergartens can't get in. The tuition fees of private kindergartens are similar to those of early childhood education, and what they learn is not as practical as that of early childhood education." Qiqi small cram school focuses on the environment of foreign teachers. She studies Chinese, math, physical education, art and other courses every morning, and English is taught by a combination of foreign teachers and Chinese teachers in the afternoon.

Although the advocacy of "zero-based enrollment" has been continuous, and the call for children to have a happy childhood has been recognized by many parents, there are still many parents who have the idea of "unwilling to let their children lose at the starting line". This is also an important reason for the existence of the young connection mechanism. At the same time, the reporter visited and found that many young connecting institutions have changed from focusing only on the propaganda of teaching knowledge in the past to integrating teaching, interest cultivation and behavioral habits, which has also become the reason for attracting many parents to sign up.

Tuition fees are rising year by year, but the environment remains the same.

In an early childhood education connecting institution in Chaoyang District, the receptionist told the reporter that the teachers in the institution are divided into three generations, including retired teachers from public primary schools who have been re-employed, young teachers who have just graduated from universities, and foreign language teachers who are hired externally. The school offers music, self-management ability, Chinese, mathematics, performance, calligraphy, Go and other courses. Rich courses and high-quality teachers have become the characteristics of this institution.

The receptionist said that the tuition fee of more than 5,000 yuan per month is not expensive, and the two newly established houses next to them charge 7,000 yuan a month and 4,000 yuan a month.

The reporter found that these three nearby youth connection institutions are all rented small businesses, and their areas are not large. The setting of about 30 students in each class occupies almost the whole room, and outdoor activities are in a small park next to the community. Due to the large number of businessmen and complicated environment, the door of the institution was locked during school.

A parent said: "There are indeed security risks. Last month, I just heard that there is a kindergarten in my hometown that is also rented. I have been locking the door, and once I suddenly caught fire, I almost caused a safety accident. "

Several young connection institutions visited by reporters are almost all rented communities or shopping malls, and there is no outdoor venue.

In order to make children's learning environment better, it is necessary to consider the internal connecting classes in private schools. Ms. Wu, who lives in the Asian Games Village in Chaoyang District, just went to an international school outside the North Fifth Ring Road a few days ago to inspect the kindergarten transition class. "There is nothing to say about hardware facilities, a big playground, a clean canteen and a separate lounge." Ms. Wu said, "But after listening to their introduction, I hesitated again. This is a training system specially laid for children studying abroad. I'm worried that children will not adapt to public primary schools. The tuition fee of 6.5438+0.2 million a year is too expensive. "

In addition, there are hidden dangers in the qualifications of young teachers. A parent said that when his child first entered school last September, he met something that made him very angry. "One morning, the child suddenly said that he didn't want to go to school. Under my questioning, the children said that the foreign teacher had beaten them the day before. " When he went to school to ask for a video adjustment, he found that it was a few boys in the class who were naughty and the foreign teacher lost his temper and hit several children. "The principal stopped it in time and dismissed the foreign teacher. Although things have been solved, I have never been at ease. "

According to the reporter, the young connecting class is different from the kindergarten. Most of the children in the young transfer class are preschool children under 6 years old. They need to get proper care and learn more knowledge and skills. However, at present, the young bridging institutions need to be further improved in terms of teachers and hardware.

Young convergence can't "escape"

20 18 1 10, the White Paper on the Investigation of Children's Connection in China released at the Annual Meeting of Early Childhood Education in Asia, showed that more than half of the parents who participated in the survey expressed concern about their children entering primary schools, and the worry was that their children could not adapt to the living environment in primary schools, were not good at expressing themselves and were easily distracted. When children enter primary school from kindergarten, parents' focus shifts from "whether they can adapt to the living environment of primary school" to "whether they can keep up with the learning progress of primary school". But "attention" has been the focus of parents' concern throughout this period.

Of course, some parents choose to let their children continue to attend large classes in kindergarten until they enter primary school in September. Yuan Yuan's father is a parent who insists on "zero basic education" for his children. He believes that "learning knowledge too early will stifle children's thirst for knowledge and distract children from learning."

Linlin's mother, who has just entered the first grade, told the reporter that her daughter was directly promoted from a large class to a primary school. "They are almost half-connected and half-disconnected in the class. Those who have participated are definitely more energy-saving, but Linlin can keep up. The first-year course is not difficult. She has learned Pinyin three times, and she is still confused. She needs parents to help her review at home. "

The history teacher of a public primary school in Dongcheng District told the reporter: "After primary school, the teacher may speed up the progress when explaining the knowledge points that most children in the class have mastered, but he will still teach according to the requirements of the syllabus."

The reporter learned that at this stage, under the domination of the concept of young convergence and "zero-based admission", how to choose is still a headache for parents. How to make the young connecting institutions serve children more reasonably and safely has also become a problem that the regulatory authorities need to take seriously.
