I hope my son can have enough sleep !

854 views. 2011-11-4 16:33 |Individual Classification:Catherine|

 Last night , I arrived home before my son . I prepared supper for him . I don’t want to waste his time . After supper , he began to do his homework while I stayed in my bedroom ,reading an e-book. I fell asleep while I was reading . I didn’t wake up until 8 p.m. I went to see how much homework my son had finished .When I opened his room , I found him asleep at the desk ,holding his pen in his hand .He was too tired and sleepy .I asked him to stop doing homework and go to bed immediately . I woke him up at 4 a.m. the next morning . He did part of the homework . I sent text messages to his teachers , telling them about it .

  These days , as the mid-term examination is coming up , the teachers are busy finishing the new lessons and revising the test content . Homework is much more than usual.

  The students’ life is hard . Every day my son gets home at half past six ,after nine classes . Except having supper and drinking tea , he sits at the desk from half past 6 p.m. to 10 p.m, sometimes even 11 p.m. Yesterday , he didn’t go to bed until 12 p.m. Sometimes I will ask him to have more sleep and do less homework in order to have a clear and active mind the next day .

I am also a teacher . These days , I can often see teachers criticize the ss because of not doing homework ,doing it carelessly or copying others’. If many students don’t behave well , maybe it’s time for the teachers to think about if there’s anything wrong with their work .

 The ss , especially the seniors of junior middle school are suffering from too much stress .

you maybe list a time schedule and oversee him to sleep at a certain time.

It needs a reform for Chinese eudcation system. We have to ask ourselves the goal of developing student.

Our students are directed to the wrong way. They lost their creative and innovative spirit. They indulge most of time to follow up  instruction which is to some extends, very limtied and  sometimes narrow-minded.  We see the result if comparing the result of chinese student with those of developed countries. What makes the difference. Obviously It is the sytem of education which is designed and worked  in quite different way .Give students more time to freely develop their own interets.Only by this way, could China have their own brand rather than just acting as simply assembly and manufacturing . make small profit and work for the developed countries. Pity indeed!.

Our kids is a sacrifice before It is replaced by a sound education system . I heard there could be a trial in some cities where they will cancel the entrance examination for the students to the key school. maybe It is the big step for the change . let us see and hope our kids is lucky

Dear sophia ,
Your idea is so nice . I also really hope my son can have some time for his hobbies instead of doing so much homework after school . In that case , he will be much happier and he can also study more efficiently . I don't know what is right or wrong . I don't dare to ask my to do homework less while others are working hard . What I can do is to try to make him  feel less sleepy or tired and make sure he is energetic in class . I won't let him stay up too late at night in order to finish homework .

as a mother in such a competitive environment. I can fulluy understand you .

I have a daughter. Today She showed me the rank list of her mid-term examination in the grade . I have to say the result going out of my expectation. Her rank has dropped signifacantly . She did not perform well in each of main subject. Chinese and English was ever her favorate and easily climed to the top rank. Maths is her headache. It is worsen this time. I don't know If I am right that I just let her enjoy her day. No extra howwork was assigned to her. I even stopped revieing or signing on her homework . I regarded her as a mature and self -disciplined girl.This time It did shock me .

She is studing in a key middle school .There is 16 classes in grade . In each mid/final term exam. School will rank them across the grade. Students will be classified into 4 level A,B,C,D. Each lever implies the possibility that which kind of high school She is able to entry .

I had thought scores is just one side of her performance. happiness and health in physical body and mentality is much more important in her life.  Generally person with high EQ leads a relative better quality of life . I hope She will not lost in this aspect.

However She somehow did not develop a good studying habit. Only by push can she behave well and on the right track .This is really what I feel regret. I did not give her due education when she was still a very little girl .Now It hardly  change her behavior.

Given her current performance .I decide to continutingly  keep an eye on her and check whether she had done all  teacher assigned and ask if she has any question as before.

Do things right at the first time. otherwise corrective cost is much higher than preventive cost .This may be the price I pay /she pay for the unstable performance . I feel a bit regret and unhhappy about that . I am not sure how long It takes till she could manage well herself.

Therefore I am also still at a learning stage on how to guide kid to be on a right path more efficiently ,effectively.

Hope this day will come soon.hehe

Thanks for tell me what you worry about  like a friend . When my son was in Grade 7 , he did worse and worse . I was so disappointed that I didn't want to go home . I didn't know what I could say to him . I had hoped he would make more progress . But his rank became lower and lower . I didn't know what to do . I was in despire . I just couldn't accept the result . I called one of my colleagues whose son was also in the same grade . But her son was the top student . She told me to adjust my attitude to my son's grade and another colleague told me not to compare my son's shortcomings with other students' strong points . So I tell myself it will be OK if my son doesn't drop under Rank 2oo(700 in total) .Now he is in Grade 9 . Although I am afraid to go to the teacher to see his scores  , I can accept my son because he has tried his best . It 's time to have a meeting . So I can't say much to you . Pay attention to the process of your baby's study , believe she will get better and better .Cheer up !
