What does the summer training class teach？ One child has multiple classes, and some places have to be robbed.
Cctv news(Reporter Di Chenchen Ren Jia) Some people say that this is an era of parents’ collective anxiety. Where does this ubiquitous anxiety come from? It’s summer, and the "rush to report classes" is at its peak. Whether it’s "overtaking in corners" or "winning at the starting line", is this education really worth it?

"How many classes did you sign up for this holiday?"
Xiaoyu, who lives in Tongzhou District, took her children by one bus stop and two subways, and finally arrived at the training class. Outside the classroom, a hunchbacked grandmother tried to look in on the window sill of the classroom, and the back of her clothes was all wet. This is an English natural spelling class that Xiao Yu reported to her children, which costs more than 2,000 yuan. In addition, she also reported her children to a preschool class, which costs nearly 3,000 yuan. She mainly studies Chinese Pinyin and mathematics addition and subtraction within 20. Xiao Yu does all these to prepare her children for school.
"After school, other children will think that he won’t, and worry that he will feel inferior. If he goes to his heart, it will cause psychological burden. It’s hard to say, mainly now everyone reports, and there is no way." In Xiao Yu’s view, this hard work has just begun … …
"Go training for ten days costs 2,800 yuan, thinking class is held once a week, 340 yuan class is held once a week, swimming class is held for ten classes for 2,000 yuan, painting is held twice a week, and the custody class is held in 760 yuan for one day, from 8 am to 4 pm." Six-year-old Kiki ushered in her first summer vacation in primary school. Kiki’s mother arranged four training classes and a custody class for her.
In the face of the training class, Kiki did not resist. "The course is very interesting. Children are willing to go. It is more interesting to have children to play with in class than to be alone at home." Kiki’s mother usually goes to work, and there is no old man to take care of the children at home. Where can the children go without training classes?
For "If you don’t report to class, where will the children go?" This problem, Youyou’s mother also feels the same way.
"July 12th holiday, start school on September 1st. The rest of the time to see if there are any other training courses, if not, take them to work. "

Youyou is 9 years old, in the third grade, and has a very strong ability of independent learning. She usually practices calligraphy and pipa. This summer vacation, she took part in a whole brain education class. She attended classes from 9 am to 4 pm every day, and managed to eat and control, with a cost of 60,000 yuan for 10 days. Youyou’s mother said: "When I signed up for class, I really felt that the tuition was too expensive. At first, the children felt bored, but later they got involved and were more active than going to school every day. As long as the child is happy and can learn something, the money is not wasted. "
Youyou’s mother said frankly that the main reason is that no one looks after the children.
As one of the few parents who didn’t enroll their children in classes, Wang Li said, "The children should have a happy holiday. I took him to Beidaihe, Changbai Mountain and hulun buir grassland. The children themselves have summer homework, and then they take part in training classes. The children are too tired. Now there are many friends around to enroll their children in classes, but I don’t ask or inquire. If the children take the initiative to say that they want to attend training classes, maybe I will consider enrolling in classes. I insist on the principle of no compulsion or requirement."
According to statistics, among more than 60 families with different incomes in Beijing, more than 60% plan to spend 3,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan for their children in summer vacation, and nearly 70% of parents feel economic or psychological pressure on their children’s holiday consumption. Although the specific amount and range are related to the level of economic development in different regions, the "pressure index" can explain the problem more or less.
What are all the various classes teaching?
The 10-day, 60,000-yuan whole-brain education class puts forward photographic memory. As the name implies, "a page of a book is like taking a photo, and you will remember it". The staff pointed out that this course can awaken the brain’s potential.

In addition to the training courses of whole brain education, there are various training courses in the market, such as "diligent thinking class", "sensitive learning class" and "innovative class".
According to CCTV Finance, in a training institution in Beijing, the customer service staff said that if you want to sign up your children for the third grade summer math training class, the classes that started in July are basically full, and the last few places are almost won. After visiting a number of training institutions, I learned that the classes of subject training are basically full. According to the staff of the training institutions, many parents have already reported summer training courses to their children two months ago, and the registration for autumn training courses has started now.
In 2018, the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Standardizing the Development of Off-campus Training Institutions, which clearly stipulated that the training contents of Chinese, mathematics, English and other disciplines carried out by off-campus training institutions should not exceed the corresponding national curriculum standards. However, during the interview, the reporter found that many training institutions are still conducting illegal training.
When consulting a training institution for courses suitable for third-grade students, the staff recommended several classes of English and mathematics to reporters, and said that the students who took classes here had always achieved good results in mathematics. "There used to be the Olympic Cup, and the prize was in the top few. Now we are not allowed to talk about the Olympics, but we are still biased towards the Olympics. "
When the reporter said that he still wanted to study the on-campus courses, the staff of the training institution provided a plan to finish the next semester’s courses within half a month. "More than ten classes, less than twenty classes, if the degree is good, you can almost learn the fourth grade content again. Most students report to the training class to learn the content of the next semester in advance. If they don’t report to the class, they will be left behind by their classmates. "
Pursuing "what education should look like"
In fact, starting from February 2018, the Ministry of Education will carry out special governance actions for off-campus training institutions with relevant departments. After more than a year of governance, unlicensed training institutions with potential safety hazards have been effectively managed, and most unregistered institutions have also been brought under supervision. However, the training that exceeds the standard has been repeatedly banned. In the interview, some parents said that the reason why they signed up their children for these advanced training courses is not only the consideration of expanding their thinking and improving their ability, but also the uncertainty of the entrance policy.
Song Shaowei, executive director of the R&D Center for Quality Education of Tsinghua University Humanities College, said: "Don’t let children’s cultural lessons be completed in the training class, but give them to the classroom. Some of our educational resources today are still insufficient. We should help our children to establish a learning system suitable for them. "
Lv Yugang, director of the Department of Basic Education of the Ministry of Education, said: "Resolutely cut off the behavior of linking enrollment in primary and secondary schools with off-campus training, improve the teaching quality of primary and secondary schools, so that students can learn better and learn more at school, so as not to be unable to solve learning problems at school, but also to do compensatory training outside the school."
In view of the problem of summer class enrollment fever, CCTV reporter interviewed Xiong Bingqi, an educational scholar and vice president of 21st century Institute of Education. He believed that to control the training fever, first of all, we must govern education according to law, standardize the operation of training institutions, and secondly, guide parents’ training needs, which requires the reform of education evaluation system on the basis of standardizing institutions’ running schools. Simply put, one is to manage supply, and the other is to manage demand.
