A
study of 3, 884
students from primary schools to colleges found that examinations made 83. 1 percent
of primary students anxious, and more than 40 percent of high school
children were out of sorts (身体不适) because of stress and anxiety.
Moreover,
75 percent of the high school respondents admitted that they had problems talking
to their parents and more than 55 percent of them found it hard to associate with
other people, according to the study.
It
is not difficult to conclude that our children are not happy.
Today's kids are coming home
from school weighed down with backpacks full of books and worksheets. They are spending
hours at a desk at night, seldom going
outside to play and getting to bed late.
How
can this be a good thing?
Homework
is eating away children's
time to play freely with neighborhood kids—and more importantly, their
time to sleep.
Homework
can enrich the education process. But like all things, too much of it may dampen
(减少) a student's enthusiasm for learning. To raise cheerful,
contented and well-mannered children, parents need to put in a lot of time and effort.
Their eyes should go beyond their children's preparations for
tests, Children need a break too. So let them be in control of parts of the day.
