I find the curriculum increasingly difficult, yet good and excellent grades are still "increasing", advanced students can be counted on one hand.
At the end of the school year, parents show off their children’s shiny report cards on social media. Beneath the posts, some praise and applaud their children’s impressive achievements. But the children don’t see the “sugar-coated” comments.
Are parents unintentionally putting the burden of "having to get high scores" and "having a flawless report card" on their children's small shoulders? Or are teachers being too generous in grading, with many students achieving almost perfect average scores, up to 9.8-9.9?
The student had a 9.5 GPA but still ranked 38th (Screenshot).
Last school year, my daughter had a GPA of over 9. In my time, it was difficult to get an 8, let alone a perfect score like that. Ironically, my daughter “slipped” out of the top 10 of the class, ranking 40th.
Many people say that students nowadays are like superheroes. The more difficult the program, the higher the score, the more brilliant the achievement. It is really nice to look at their report cards, but I wonder if this is true academic ability. For me, my child getting a 9.0 is already an impressive score, but many students in the class get even more.
"My son tried his best, I'm happy to know that he got good marks but he's still not as good as his friends ", my son said while crying. He was so sad that he didn't eat or sleep all night.
My child fell into a deadlock because his initial expectations were shattered. Scores do not say everything, but for children, they can be the embodiment of youthful competitiveness. I was worried when I saw my child torture himself like that.
In raising children, I put my children's happiness and development first.
When she calmed down a bit, I explained: " To become someone in society, you need to know how to live a decent and dedicated life first. The perfect 10s on your report card do not necessarily reflect that you are a good girl in all aspects. You see, I was also in the top of this or that class, but when I was born, I also had to suffer all my youth to become an adult."
I want my child to see it as an experience to set new goals. In fact, he did very well, I am proud of that. More than anyone, I witnessed the days when he studied all night long with thick exercise books. I acknowledged his efforts but still worried. It is true that children today study too hard, burdened by the burden of achievement.
