Yang Le, a famous mathematician and academician of China Academy of Sciences, clearly pointed out that it is not advisable to popularize Olympiad Education on a large scale. He said, is the intensive training of Olympic mathematics or mathematics good for mathematics learning? I do not think this is necessarily the case. Because the purpose of intensive training for a period of time is not to let students study systematically, but to force them to instill skills to solve some local problems.
In this way, not only can students' mathematics learning ability not be improved, but some of their original interests may also be stifled and their study of other courses weakened, which is not conducive to students' all-round development.
Generally speaking, the olympiad was originally used to select students with mathematical talent for training, so the difficulty is naturally higher. But because of his extra points, many parents forced their children to learn Olympic Mathematics in order to get into a good school.
However, most children have no such talent and interest in mathematics, which seriously affects their enthusiasm for learning and increases their learning burden, but has a negative impact.
