What's wrong with going to and from class in preschool? Poor planning

In recent years, calls for “burden reduction” for primary school students have become increasingly louder. But in reality, we often see the exact opposite phenomenon. In Beijing, a preschool connecting kindergarten to primary school basically relies on "rushing" to start classes, and it has to be started several months in advance. In Hangzhou, a teacher surveyed 1,000 families and found that 50.28%, more than half, of the children had attended bridging classes for kindergarten.

However, another data from the survey shows that this wave of "national rush" to prevent children from losing at the starting line is of little use. Children who attended kindergarten bridging classes still had an advantage in learning in the first grade; in the second grade, the number of children who felt a heavy academic burden was actually 6.55% higher than that of children with no basic knowledge.

The parents' efforts to pull the seedlings did not help them grow, but instead caused these seedlings to lose their ability to grow. The famous educator Rousseau once said: Misusing time will cause greater losses than wasting time. Children who are educated wrongly are further away from wisdom than children who are not educated.

Advanced education has no other use than relieving parents’ anxiety about not knowing how to deal with it. It may even cause irreversible harm to children’s growth.

Hazard 1: It is easy for children to develop bad habits

Children learn the knowledge they should learn in elementary school in advance, which makes them feel that they know it when they go to elementary school. They do not listen in class and are easily distracted. In the second and third grades, the courses become more difficult, but children continue to have the bad habit of being easily distracted in class, which will lead to a decline in academic performance.

Hazard 2: Causes children to lose interest in learning

Children’s growth and development patterns are destined to cause children at this stage to lack attention and concentration. However, advanced education makes children face boring reading and writing for a long time, which goes against the laws of physical and mental development, and children lose interest in learning.

Hazard 3: Children have no imagination and creativity

Once parents enroll their children in preschool education classes, it means that their play time will be occupied. At an age when they should be playing in the mud and swinging on the swings, children are trapped in the classroom and studying boringly. Their brains are not stimulated, and they lose their imagination and creativity.

There is a proverb in the West: The road to hell is sometimes paved with good intentions. Parents want their children to win at the starting line and outperform the learning competition, but who knows that they really want their children to "win only at the starting line."

Education experts have repeatedly stated that advanced education is harmful, but parents still continue to provide advanced education to their children like moths to the flame? Because parents regard learning as a sprint race that "can't even stop to take a breath".

It seems that the first day of first grade is the starting whistle. After the whistle blows, the child cannot stop on the way, cannot fall behind once in grade, and cannot deviate in one subject. They dare not let their children stop to take a breath, for fear that the opportunity to take a breath will be overtaken by others.

So, they put their chips on the line and let their children study more before going to school, thinking that this will give them a lot of energy. Unexpectedly, they just gave the child a dose of stimulant, and the child became discouraged after running for a while. But learning is actually a marathon, a race that requires endurance and scientific methods.

Even in a real marathon, few people can finish the entire race in one breath. Many veteran lap runners have to adjust their running speed according to their physical condition and the weather conditions of the day, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, and stop and go. And our children have just entered the first grade, they have just stepped onto the track, and they have not yet had the ability to learn independently. Why should we be so strict with them.
