Is make-up classes useful? A teacher who has been teaching and training for more than 10 years told the truth
In this era of increasingly fierce competition, parents can be described as "sparing no expense" in their children's education. As an important form of education investment, make-up classes have always attracted much attention. However, do make-up classes really work? How much can it help your child? Today, let's listen to the truth of a teacher with more than 10 years of teaching experience.
1. The two-sided nature of make-up classes: pros and cons coexist
Make-up classes, as the name suggests, are the provision of additional educational support for children in addition to the normal classroom. For many parents, make-up classes seem to be a "lifesaver" to improve their children's academic performance. However, the teacher said that make-up classes are not a panacea, and there are both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that make-up classes can provide targeted tutoring for children's weak links and help children better grasp the knowledge points. At the same time, make-up classes can also provide children with more learning resources and opportunities, and broaden their horizons and knowledge. In addition, for those children with poor self-discipline, make-up classes can provide a relatively fixed learning environment that helps to develop their study habits.
However, make-up classes also have their drawbacks. First of all, excessive make-up classes may increase your child's academic pressure and lead to school boredom. Second, make-up classes may cause children to become dependent and think that they can improve their grades by spending money, thus ignoring the importance of their own efforts.
Finally, the chaos in the make-up market is also worrying. In order to maximize profits, some unscrupulous institutions may adopt "cramming" teaching methods, and even have problems such as false propaganda and arbitrary fees.
2. The effect of make-up classes varies from person to person
So, can make-up classes improve children's grades? The teacher said that it depends on the specific situation.
For those children with a weak foundation and low motivation to learn, make-up classes can indeed improve their academic performance to a certain extent. Through targeted tutoring and practice, these children can gradually build up their confidence and interest in learning to progress academically.
However, for those children who have a good foundation and are motivated to learn, catch-up classes may not be necessary. What they may need more is the ability to learn on their own and expand their knowledge. Too much make-up classes can make them feel constrained and depressed, which is detrimental to their growth and development.
3. How to take a correct view of make-up classes
In the face of the educational phenomenon of make-up classes, how should we take a correct view? The teacher gave the following suggestions:
1. Rational view of make-up classes: Parents should look at the role and effect of make-up classes rationally, and do not blindly follow the trend or rely too much on make-up classes. It is necessary to decide whether to participate in make-up classes according to the child's actual situation and needs.
2. Pay attention to children's interests and motivation: Parents should pay attention to their children's interests and motivation, and respect their children's choices. If the child is not interested or motivated to make up the lessons, it will be difficult to achieve good results even if they participate in the make-up lessons.
3. Choose the right tutoring agency and teacher: If you decide to let your child participate in tutoring, parents should choose a regular, qualified tutoring agency and teacher. It is necessary to understand the teaching philosophy, teachers and teaching quality of the tutoring institution to ensure that children can receive effective guidance and help.
4. Cultivate children's self-directed learning ability: Parents should cultivate their children's independent learning ability, so that they can learn to think independently and solve problems. In this way, even if you do not participate in make-up classes, your child will be able to do well in her studies.
As a form of educational investment, there are both advantages and disadvantages. We should rationally look at the role and effect of make-up classes, and decide whether to participate in make-up classes according to the actual situation and needs of children. At the same time, parents should pay attention to the cultivation of children's interest and motivation, as well as the cultivation of independent learning ability, so that they can be more confident and successful in their future studies and lives.
