The fifth-grade students in a school in Shanghai accidentally found that the area data of a nature reserve in a math book was wrong. This student usually likes some natural science books, but when he read the math book, he found that the total area of Shanghai Chongming Dongtan Nature Reserve was incorrect, so he gave this information back to the teacher. As a result, it was found on the Internet that the total area of this protected area reached about 24 1 square kilometer, but the book actually marked 326 square kilometers, so this information was fed back to the relevant media and finally reported. The reason why we can find the mistakes in the textbook is because this classmate loves natural science at ordinary times, which also illustrates a problem, that is, the examination and approval of the textbook is watery and the attitude is not rigorous.
Primary school students in Shanghai pointed out that there were mistakes in the names and areas in the mathematics textbooks, and the reason why the textbooks were not updated was because they had just been found to be untreated.
Books are the foundation of education for all. If even the most basic books are wrong, there will be a chain reaction. How can we not only learn the wrong knowledge, but also change our view of the whole society? Therefore, as the most important book in educational resources, we must be strict in auditing and not sloppy. The area and name of a math book have been pointed out by primary school students, which shows that the data is not serious in the audit process, and the auditors have not handed in the relevant information seriously. The reason why the textbooks are not updated is that it takes a lot of time to review a book, and all the books we are using at present have been reviewed and passed in recent years.
Maybe you don't know the process of book review. If it is a compulsory education book, then the review is quite strict. First, it will be successful through layer-by-layer selection, and the whole process will last for five or six years. Therefore, it is very difficult to publish a textbook. At the same time, it is not easy to change textbooks, so the textbooks we use now are generally 10 or several years of approval. If you want to change books again, it may take five or six years. I hereby appeal to the relevant departments to be strict in reviewing teaching materials, because this is related to the future thinking of flowers in our motherland.
