What is your most direct feeling after your child goes to elementary school?
asked seven or eight parents around him, and half of them said helplessly that they had become very busy. In addition to regular work and tutoring homework, they also had to stare at the children's class group anytime and anywhere, for fear of missing the teacher's task assignments at any time.
Indeed, as a parent of contemporary primary school students, paying attention to class groups has become a necessary habit every day. In the Internet era, mobile phones have replaced all social tools, while class groups use mobile phones to bring teachers and children into a circle. At this point, any teacher’s ideas can be conveyed to parents through class groups.
This seems to simplify communication between parents and teachers, but it also brings a lot of pressure to parents. After all, there are too many notifications in the class group!
Ms. Li's daughter is in the first grade of elementary school this year. Before the start of school, the head teacher created a class group. It was from that moment that Ms. Li took out her mobile phone and flipped through the class group even during working hours to see if the teacher had posted new tasks.
Ms. Li said that now the teacher will post various information about the child in the group. In addition to assigning homework, she will also directly "@" parents who have problems with their children's homework in the group. In addition, various school activities, data statistics, clock-in uploads, etc. are indispensable.
"After the child goes to school, I have to watch the class group 10 times a day. It's okay, but I'm most afraid that the teacher suddenly @ me." When asked about the child's school life, Ms. Li said so.
In fact, many parents have deeply understood Ms. Li’s experience.
During the special period, Ms. Liu's son needed to take online classes at home. Compared to teaching in school, online classes not only test whether the child is self-disciplined, but also increase the parents' workload.
In order to help the second-grade son develop good habits from childhood, Ms. Liu temporarily quit her job and concentrate on studying with her children at home. During the online class stage of
, Ms. Liu admitted that she was more tired than her children. In addition to taking care of her children's daily life, she also had to check in in class groups and interest classes. Even the physical education teacher asked parents to shoot videos for their children to upload. It was hard for Ms. Li to imagine what effect the child's homework would have if she gave these to the elderly to supervise.
In the mother group, many people expressed the same feeling: It is really difficult to be a parent of a primary school student!
@ Fish that eats grapes: I watch the class group more than 10 times a day. In addition to the class group, I also have to check in various ways in the interest class group. It is too tiring to raise a child now.
@ Juncai Xingchi : I am a teacher. I want to say that it is painful for teachers to read the group. Not only do they have to forward various notifications, but they also have to deal with parents' questions. It is all for the good of their children. I hope they can understand each other.
@ Momo Mo's mother: I'm not afraid of watching the class group, but I'm afraid that the teacher @ me in the group. Every time I see my child named, I feel stressed, and now I'm creating a shadow.
@ Fish under the sea: Solitaire, check-in, statistics, notifications, homework... Sometimes I am looking for it by teachers alone. I am a born in the 1980s and still miss the simple home-school communication when I was a child. Now that the Internet is becoming more and more developed, people are living more and more tired.
Different communication methods have their pros and cons. It is important for parents and teachers to understand each other
When I was born in the 1980s and 1990s, the Internet was not as developed as it is now, so teachers and parents all contacted by phone. If there were no very important things, they rarely discussed their children's learning and life.
Although the communication methods in the past are very simple and will not put any pressure on parents, most teachers are negligent about their children's learning situation at home. In the long run, when problems arise during the child's learning process, parents will not be able to listen to the teacher's advice, which is very unfavorable for the child's growth.
. With the development of the times, home-school communication has been implemented very well, but at the same time, there has also been a phenomenon of "excessive information", which makes many parents feel very tired.
There is no perfect solution for home-school communication. Different communication methods have their pros and cons. Parents and teachers should understand each other, and establish a harmonious and loving home-school relationship with helping children grow as the core.
