Why is it difficult for left-behind children to learn?

Zhang Tao used to be a left-behind child. He used the road of learning to keep his next generation from falling behind.

However, it is not easy for left-behind children to take this road well. Due to the lack of teacher resources, many teachers in schools where left-behind children gather should be multifunctional, "learn now and sell now", which can only be "church" in education and cannot provide more learning methods or habits. After the left-behind children enter junior high school, compared with the children in the city, the "top students" in primary school may suddenly fall to the middle and lower reaches, and the inferiority complex and frustration will double the blow to the left-behind children who lack self-confidence. Judging from the data of nearly 100 left-behind children held by reporters, no matter whether the grades are good or bad, more than 80% of junior high schools are the end of their studies and still follow the old path of their parents.

At the same time, the proportion of young teachers in rural left-behind schools is high and their income is low, so it is difficult for teachers to be enterprising.

Learning this road has a long way to go for left-behind children.

Learning can change fate, but it is not easy to take this road well.

Study hard, go to college, and change your destiny.

After staying at 18, he walked out of the mountain.

The primary school in Zhang Tao is located in a mountainous area of Kaihua County. It takes 1 hour to get here. There are more than 100 students in the school, all of whom are left-behind children.

Zhang Tao's job is to be a PE teacher, and at the same time, he is also responsible for the publicity work of the school. Knowing that the reporter was coming, he prepared some materials in advance, mainly the measures taken by the school to care for left-behind children. Zhang Tao, a tall and strong man, was very enthusiastic about reporters, but he was impatient and soon became impatient.

"In fact, the problem of left-behind children is difficult to solve, and it can even be said that there is no solution." Zhang Tao said after a sip of water.

Zhang Tao used to be a left-behind child. "According to calculation, he stayed for 65,438+08 years." He said that he was from Changshan, next door to Hua Kai, and he felt the same way when he came here to teach. "I want to help left-behind children."

A student took a test paper and asked her neighbors in the same village who was one grade higher than her. She felt that some wrong questions were not written by the teacher.

After working for two years and staying at home for 18 years, Zhang Tao came to a conclusion. He said: "I have been thinking about this issue and how to solve the problem of staying behind. The family conditions of these children are generally poor. The only thing they can control is to stop their next generation from staying. The fundamental way is to learn. "

Later, he took out a notebook, which was asked by the old teacher about the left-behind children who were admitted to the university. These children now have stable jobs like Zhang Tao, and can decide whether their next generation will stay.

"Work, income and house are all elements to get rid of staying behind, but the premise is to get out of this mountain through hard work." He said.

Left-behind children have few choices.

Learning this road is especially precious.

Walking along the mountain road, it is another school where left-behind children gather. The reporter found that, like Zhang Tao, there are not a few teachers who think that left-behind children change their fate through learning.

Teacher Yu has been teaching in the village for more than 30 years, and many of her students have the next generation. "I see naughty children who don't like reading are also very helpless. I will tell my friends privately that this child is expected to be like his father, and his children still can't escape. "

There are very few young teachers like Mr. Yu who devote their lives to left-behind children.

"One day, a student called me. She said to me, thank you, Mr. Yu. No matter how difficult it is, you came home to help me study, which made me full of hope for my study and made me who I am now. My child won't let him suffer like this again. " In teacher Yu's view, such a solution can also be regarded as solving the problem of left-behind families.

When it comes to left-behind children and students admitted to universities, Mr. Yu reported many names and his face was full of smiles. "These children are relieved."

Teacher Yu said that no matter what kind of children, learning can change their fate, but for left-behind children, they have few choices, so learning this road is particularly precious.

Why are few left-behind children admitted to universities?

Physical education teachers also have part-time science classes in the lower grades.

After a class, I was tired and sweaty.

But the opportunities for left-behind children in Dashan school are really limited. For more than 30 years, Mr. Yu has taught thousands of left-behind children, but only a handful of them can be admitted to universities. Why is this? The reporter conducted an investigation and found that the teaching staff is a big problem.

"Ding Lingling ..." With a long sound, Zhang Tao picked up the textbook and walked to the classroom. This is the second class in the morning. Are you going to physical education class?

"He went to science in the second grade of elementary school." Mr. Zhong, a Chinese teacher sitting next to him, said calmly when approving homework. "How do you teach this?" The reporter looked puzzled.

"I have taught 10 Chinese for many years, and now I have to teach senior three. It is normal. The teacher opposite was recruited to teach computers, and now there are both science and math classes. " Mr. Zhong smiled helplessly, and so did Mr. Chen sitting opposite him.

After class, Zhang Tao walked into the office with a full face of sweat. "Is it easy for me to teach sports and science? Look at these contents, I want to learn by myself first. " He said with a wry smile.

"Your math is taught by the PE teacher."

This is no joke.

In remote mountain schools with many left-behind children, such all-round teachers are very common. School hardware is "hard", plastic track, multimedia classroom, clean dormitory ... but the software that drives education-teachers-is not "hard".

The reporter visited more than 10 rural schools in Quzhou, Lishui and other places, and this situation exists in every school. "Your math is taught by the PE teacher", which is usually a joke, and it is true in these schools.

Xiaoxiao, 13 years old, studies by herself after class, which is very common.

"No way, there are not enough teachers in the course, so many times I have to tune music and physical education teachers." The headmaster of a mountain school in qingtian county said frankly.

"As long as there are schools with this situation, there will be fewer teachers." Zhang Tao said that the school has nearly 140 children and more than 10 teachers. "It's not as simple as 1 teacher teaching 14 children. It depends on the class and the course, so it is very difficult. "

Part-time jobs will bring negative effects.

Only "teaching" but not teaching learning methods.

Moreover, this is a vicious circle. The reporter made a survey, and 120 "part-time" teachers, more than 80% are young teachers. "Young teachers themselves have little teaching experience." Teacher Zhang, who has taught mathematics for more than 20 years, vomited, "These young teachers are also engaged in mathematics. They are often only responsible for' teaching' lower-grade students, but there is no way to teach students to learn."

And the learning method is exactly what students need most in the future learning process. "Especially these left-behind children, their study, in a sense, can only rely on teachers." Teacher Zhang explained that many schools in the city are full-time teachers who can teach students how to learn. "Teachers who have taught mathematics for decades must have their own set of learning methods."

It is difficult for top students in primary schools to gain a foothold in junior high schools.

More than 80% people bid farewell to school.

At the same time, the reporter learned from many old teachers that a large number of "top students" in primary schools among left-behind children will be brushed away in junior high school. Compared with children in the city, their inferiority and mediocre academic performance make this part of the original primary school one of the best. Students can't stand it.

"These children's grades are just better. After entering junior high school, compared with other children, they not only lack learning methods, but also lack encouragement and care. Primary school ranks first and second in the class, and junior high school may be the middle and lower reaches. Therefore, teachers are not' professional', but it is not enough to let children read and write. " Many old teachers told reporters this way.

The reporter learned that in this regard, neither the county nor the city has accurate assistance. Based on nearly 50 student cases given by teachers, the probability of top students among left-behind children in primary schools stopping their studies in junior high school is as high as 80%. This also makes these children who are already missing a lot less and less hopeful to go to high school and university.

Why can't the left-behind children's school keep teachers?

The conditions were difficult, and many young teachers left then.

In remote mountainous areas, the burden is heavy and the income is low ... The reasons for the lack of teachers in left-behind children's schools are very complicated.

There are 395 students in Xinchang Township Central Primary School in Changshan County, Quzhou, almost all of them are left-behind children, but the loss of teacher resources here is very serious. There are 30 teachers in the school, with an average age of 27. Only a few teachers have worked in the school for more than three years.

"No wonder the teacher, the conditions are really hard, teachers and students can only go home on weekends. Teachers are basically young people and have their own lives. These mountains limit them. " Xu Liping, the principal, said that as long as the local education bureau meets the conditions for teachers to transfer to other schools, few teachers are willing to stay. "Although there are special post allowances and preferential conditions for selecting professional titles, no one can stay."

In the left-behind school in Qingtian Mountain area, students are named by the Chinese teacher to warm up before practice.

Lai Baokuan, principal of qingtian county Beishan Town Central School in Lishui, said frankly that the school is very concerned about left-behind children. "But teachers are really lacking, and they will leave (transfer) at a certain time."

The policy of forcing young teachers to stay has caused resistance.

This "single-mindedness" is the policy of forcing teachers to leave their jobs in some remote counties and cities in Zhejiang.

The reporter learned from the Notice on Standardizing the Personnel Allocation of the Education System in the County issued by the Education Bureau of Changshan County on 20 13 that the minimum adjustment period between township schools in the county is 3 years, that is to say, only those who have worked in one school for 3 years are eligible to apply for other schools. Teachers transferred from Changshan county need to serve for 5 years and have been assessed as excellent once in the past 3 years; The requirements for transferring to Changshan County are much more relaxed.

The same situation also exists in Kaihua County and Lishui qingtian county, with similar policies. Teachers with local hukou in Kaihua County are eligible to apply for teachers in this county and the city after three years, and it takes five years for foreign hukou to be transferred.

"Of course, there are also targeted young teachers, such as returning college tuition. The corresponding condition is that it is difficult for many young people to work in mountain village schools for five years after graduation, so they regret a lot. " A headmaster admitted that compulsory measures will also make young teachers feel resistant, and almost all teachers will leave at the first time when the deadline comes.

Low income and heavy responsibilities are another important reason why teachers can't stay.

The income problem is another important reason why these schools can't keep teachers. Take a mountain school in Kaihua County as an example. The salary of new young teachers is about 2200 yuan a month, and the salary of class teachers and excellent teachers will be raised by several hundred yuan. Although the county provident fund will be adjusted for this group every year, a teacher's income will be 50 thousand a year. "No more, no less, I understand." An English teacher said with a wry smile.

In addition to the relatively low income of teachers in the city, young teachers here have to act as "parents". Combining these factors, it is difficult for them to guarantee their teaching quality.

The learning environment of left-behind children is somewhat "congenitally deficient"

"B&B" parents don't understand

Basically can't help children learn.

The so-called "master leads the door, and practice depends on individuals." The influence of schools and teachers on students is of course important, and students' personal learning attitude and family influence are also factors that cannot be underestimated.

There are two types of left-behind children in rural areas of Zhejiang, one is "left behind by the soil". These children have poor family conditions, and their parents go out to work to make a living. This kind of parents basically hope that their children can study hard and get ahead in the future, but because of their limited education, their help to their children's study can be basically ignored.

Don't go out to work and let people live a hard life like us in the future. This sentence or similar meaning is what reporters often hear when interviewing parents of "left-behind children", but such parents are limited to literacy and have no more possibilities to help their children learn. On the one hand, they are not around, and more importantly, they don't know themselves.

"It's no use! Communicate with parents, they will only hope that teachers and schools will help more, and there is nothing they can do. " The principal of a junior high school in Kaihua County said that the school also wants to make up for the left-behind children's grades, but parents can't help it. This situation exists in almost every "left behind" family.

"Left-behind" parents are unwilling

Blindly doting on children, regardless of the quality of reading.

Another is "staying abroad". Parents are doing business and working abroad, and the family conditions are much better, and the children are not worried about food and clothing. Most parents of such children have little hope for their children's study. The roadbed planned for children is to go abroad after graduating from primary school, which is very limited to help children learn.

Whether "staying at home" or "staying abroad", taking care of grandparents is basically not helpful for children's study, which is more prominent among children left behind by foreigners. Because they are not at home for a long time, these parents are basically responsive to their children.

In a place where "outsiders stay behind" is relatively concentrated, most of the Internet cafes are underage left-behind children.

"Parents basically don't care, let us manage." Wang Jianbo, the headmaster of qingtian county Chuanliao Junior Middle School, is helpless against the phenomenon that "foreign left-behind" children play mobile games or even smoke online after school. "Some parents just say that their children will go abroad to do business after reading, and they don't care if their children study well."

Hu, the principal of Wu niujie Central Primary School in Yongjia County, admitted that the achievements of children left by foreigners were a heart disease to him. "I don't know if it is because the family conditions are better. Many children left by foreigners don't like learning very much. Even if the average score is good, they are generally in the lower middle class or even at the bottom. Most importantly, parents and the elderly love their children far more than they think. "
