The "double reduction" policy has been implemented for some time.
The formal subject off-campus training institution in Ningbo City
changed the original course from weekends to mid-week.
So, what is the current status of off-campus training institutions in weeks?
Are there many students participating in the lunar weekly off-campus training?
How do students arrange off-campus learning?
On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, our reporter visited several off-campus training institutions.
01
Time: September 16th (Thursday) 17:50 Location: Ningbo New Oriental (Yonggang North Road Store)
Huadian Lanterns are on, and the reporter came to the flagship store of the New Oriental Yonggang Campus Middle School located on Yonggang North Road, Yinzhou District. It is only 800 meters away from Sakura Park subway station, and the transportation is very convenient. The students who came to class were all junior high school students. They either came alone or went back after their parents arrived. The reporter saw that only one parent was sitting in the waiting area.
The reporter randomly asked three students and learned that none of them participated in the school’s evening care class. One girl only signed up for English classes on Thursday night, while two other boys came here to attend classes from Monday to Thursday.
"Come every day, can you finish the school's homework?" asked the reporter.
"I can finish it, but there is not much homework in the school now." said a student who rushed over.
Compared with the last semester, the current New Oriental is obviously much deserted. The flagship store is divided into two floors, and there are nearly ten classrooms on the first floor. But the reporter learned that there were only three classrooms that night, namely mathematics, science and English. Among them, there are 8 students in the science classroom and 6 students in the English classroom. The front desk staff of
said: "The junior high schools nearby now have evening self-study. In the past, one class was basically full, and now there are about seven or eight, or even two or three, and is single-digit, and the reduction in the number of students is very obvious."
Mr. Han, who is responsible for the admissions of Ningbo New Oriental Junior High School, said: "After the 'double reduction', the loss of customers is what we estimate. During the survey, we learned that some parents of students want to make some attempts and remove some subject training. In response to the national call, we are actively transforming. For example, New Oriental in Hangzhou has launched study and study courses suitable for junior high school students, and the registration situation is better than expected, which also gives us confidence."
In comparison, the New Oriental Primary School located across the road is much more lively. At 5:50 pm, parents were sending their children here one after another to participate in off-campus training. The reporter also followed in and saw dozens of parents of students sitting in the waiting area. Coincidentally, many parents here have not signed up for their children to participate in the school’s after-school care. "It's too rush to come to class after the tutoring, and I won't have time to have dinner. At present, on-campus tutoring can only simply complete after-class homework, so I still prefer targeted tutoring, hoping to make a substantial improvement in children's grades."

Time: September 16 (Thursday) 18:10 Location: "Bowen Youxuan Training" next to Gulou Metro Station
Just after 6 pm, the reporter came to the "Bowen Youxuan Training" teaching point next to Gulou Metro Station on Zhongshan Road and saw parents coming to class one after another. All the students came.
The hall of the second floor training class is divided into two parts - the parent waiting area and the student access passage. Parents cannot enter the training school, and there are security guards at the entrance. After watching the children enter, some parents left in a hurry, while some were sitting in the waiting area to browse their phones.
reporter was also stopped outside, not knowing how many children were participating in the training. It is estimated that the number of people will not be small, because a staff member told the parents in the waiting area that due to too many people, when class is over at 20:00, parents of first and second grades will pick up at the entrance of the second floor, and parents of third and fourth grades will pick up their children at the exit of the first floor.
The reporter chatted with several parents in the waiting area for a while.
A mother said that her son was in the second grade and signed him up for a math training class on Thursday night, and there were also art training on weekends.Because of the math training in the evening, "I picked him up from the school's custody class in advance today. Our family is nearby. It's just right to have dinner at home to attend the training class. There is no homework in the second grade, so I went home to sleep after the training." She said that the reason why I signed up for this class was to see if such training would be helpful to improving children's math scores. "Although has been 'double reduction', I dare not take it lightly. After all, in the future, the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination will select talents through examinations. For us ordinary people, the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination are also the fairest competition."
A father told reporters that the child is in the third grade, "they should be taking a math training class." He was a little unsure and said that it was the child's mother who signed up, "I am only responsible for picking up and dropping off. I picked up the child from school at 17:30, rushed here to train before 18:30, and had supper for dinner. It has to be very hurry. Next, we have to see if we can adapt. "He said that the child also attended training classes here last semester and signed up for two subjects. It was Saturday morning, and he studied for 4 hours. "After I sent my child in, I can still do my own things in 4 hours." Now after the "double reduction", the subject training can only be stopped at mid-week evenings, around 20:00, because the policy stipulates that the offline training ends no later than 20:30. "From 18:30 to 20:00, it is only one and a half hours, and I can't do anything, so I just wait here to read the book."

Time: September 17 (Friday) 17:30 Location: Hengsi Education (Hefeng Creative Plaza)
Hengsi Education is on the 2nd floor of Fengting Building, Hefeng Creative Plaza. The reporter was idle that day. He arrived at the scene and found that the teaching point had not started yet. Two staff members from the front desk of the junior high school department informed that the training class will start next week, and the training site of the Fuming Campus of training institution has been closed for and all of them have been merged here.
"Hengsi" The iron general held the door on the teaching point of Songjiang Middle Road.
The reporter stayed at the front desk for a while and saw several parents coming to consult about the class registration matters. One of them planned to apply for a scientific training for the child who was in the third year of junior high school.
reporter saw on the autumn course of junior high school and middle school that the training classes from Monday to Thursday are 18:50-20:30, and there are two hours on Friday, namely 17:00-18:40 and 18:50-20:30, and there are the most courses scheduled on Friday.
There is a class schedule on the wall
Another parent has enrolled two children of the same grade in their family, including mathematics and science. Among them, mathematics has been signed up for online courses and science has been signed up for offline courses. This time I came to apply for a class transfer because my child came here for classes during the summer vacation and prefers the teaching style of a certain teacher. "Subject training is not allowed on weekends, so we can only come in the middle of the week. It is hard for children with to work hard, but the pressure to go to school is there and it must be improved. ," said the parent.

Time: September 17 (Friday) about 19:00 Location: Ningbo Xueerspeiyou (Gulou Store)
Henglong Center at the intersection of Zhongshan Road and Jiefang Road. There are many educational and training institutions. The reporter walked around the building around 18:30 on the 17th and found that some iron generals of were holding doors, some were brightly lit and business was booming. has a lot of joy and sorrow.
The door of "Hongsheng Education and Training" was closed tightly; children came to take English classes from time to time at the door of "Graining Education"; students from both training institutions, "New Top Principal Training" and "Jiaoda Zhili", also had students in it.
18:55, the reporter came to " Xueersipeiyou", which is a training class for primary school students. It is the class time. There are many waiting parents sitting in the corridor, including young parents, gray-haired ancestors, most of whom are browsing their mobile phones, and some parents are chatting about "parenting lessons" with each other. An aunt even practiced square dance at the end of the corridor, and the video was turned on on the small square stool.
A mother told reporters that this is small class teaching, with about 20 students in each class. There were a lot of people on Friday night, and the quota was snatched. "My son was in the second grade and also studied here last semester. Several classrooms next to him were empty; but this semester, subject training can only be conducted in the middle of the week. Look, each classroom in is full of ."
This mother enrolled her son in four training classes: English on Tuesday, Chinese painting on Wednesday, essay on Thursday, and math on Friday. "Chinese painting is an art training, and it can be arranged to study on weekends, but because we were studying last semester and didn't want to change teachers, it was still arranged to be on Wednesday night." She said that the second-grade student did not have written homework. "My son did not participate in the school's after-school care. Someone in my family picked up and dropped off. It was not too nervous. The math class tonight was two hours, 18:30-20:30." The mother of
said, "Everyone is in training classes. If my child doesn't attend, he is afraid that he will fall behind. He scored 95 points in mathematics last semester, which is considered bad in the class." But she also said that it is hard to say how effective he is in training classes. The content learned in the evening training class has been forgotten at home, and the effect of actually needs to be evaluated.
Parental rest area
The reporter also chatted with other parents beside him for a while -
A child's grandfather said: "His parents are busy with work and are late after get off work. We can't control him and don't know how to teach, so we sent him here."
A father with a second child said that his eldest daughter is in the sixth grade now, so since she is studying, she will continue to learn. The youngest son is still in kindergarten and will not plan to enroll him in training classes in the future. He explained: "The courses in the training institution are ladder-shaped, and the students around my daughter are also learning. If you give up now, you will feel that the previous learning will be in vain. "
A mother looked outside the classroom window
at 8:30 pm, and the training ended. The reporter stood on Zhongshan Road and saw that the children were carrying schoolbags and suddenly rushed out. Parents driving electric cars came and went, and there was a long convoy in the parking fee office in Henglong Center.
20:30 Training ended
Reporter Notes
Test training institutions, and also test parents
after-school hosting services, evening self-study services, and subject training is not allowed to be organized on weekends... These measures have curbed the "off-campus training fever" that has been growing more and more vigorously in the whole society. Especially for middle school students, the school has evening self-study services, and the school teachers will tutor their children during evening self-study. Do you still have to give up the learning opportunities in school to go out-of-campus training? It is obvious how wise parents will choose. This is also the reason why many training institutions are facing a sharp decline in the number of students, have to shrink their positions and even consider transformation. During the interview with
, the reporter also found that several training institutions for primary school students had good subject training businesses in the middle of the week.
"Do not assign homework in the first and second grades of primary school", "adhere to zero-start teaching in the first grade of primary school", "improve the examination methods, control the difficulty of the examination, and do not violate the unified examination, exceed the standard of examination questions, and test rankings"... The "double reduction" work plan issued by the Municipal Education Bureau has given primary school students many reasons to "lie down", but parents may not dare to have the courage to "lie down".
"TA's classmates are all training. If we don't go to the training, we are afraid of falling behind." "We have been training before, and we don't participate in training all at once, and we are not used to it." "We parents can't teach it, and he doesn't listen to it, so we have to send a training class. Maybe the teacher will listen when he says he will." "'Double reduction', the children are worry-free, but we parents are still anxious. After all, the future high school entrance examination and college entrance examination will still take the exam." ... These are the "typical" reasons that the reporter heard the parents say the most.
We are often in a state of uncertainty about the future. "Born in distress" is a good tradition, but education is a science, and life is a marathon. "As young as you are, you may not be better." Parents and friends, do you still remember the first place in the class you took in elementary school? Which is more important than cultivating children's physical strength, hardworking and kindness, respecting the elderly and loving the young, opening their horizons, and learning in elementary school, and often getting full marks in Chinese, mathematics and English?
Parents actually need a certificate of employment, but unfortunately we don’t have one. Therefore, many parents who lack professional knowledge on how to cultivate their children are prone to blindly follow the trend if they are not firm enough in their hearts and lack judgment.During the communication with many parents, the reporter also felt that herd mentality has led to anxiety in family education. Many parents themselves understand that the training classes that have spent a lot of time, money and energy on their children will be rewarded by unknowns. "I went to my son's composition training class once during the summer. In a large staircase classroom, the children sitting in front were listening to the class, many children sitting in the middle were doing homework in other subjects, while some children sitting in the back were chatting. The teacher had no choice, and she couldn't control so many children." A mother told reporters.
Full scenery should be taken into consideration. At present, primary school students have less homework and the after-school care time has been extended. Can students eat enough to eat at night? Do parents have more time and better mood to communicate with their children every night, parent-child reading, and parent-child exercise? In terms of the physical and mental health of children, a happy and harmonious family, a happy and free childhood is more important than anything else.
