Kindergarten learning content reaches the level of grade 2! Officially carry out special governance.
The Municipal Education Commission and the Education Supervision Office of the municipal government will carry out special treatment on the "primary school" of kindergartens. Before the end of March next year, kindergartens, primary schools and educational institutions with problems will be comprehensively rectified. Beijing Youth Daily reporters visited some private kindergartens as parents, and found that it is normal to set up "after-school delayed classes", "pre-school classes" and "young connecting classes" in kindergartens. Adding and subtracting, recognizing seven or eight hundred Chinese characters within 100, reciting Disciples Rules, learning "logical rules" and other foreign primary school contents are all in the learning list, and the learning difficulty reaches the level of the second grade of primary school.

Private kindergarten "young connecting class" has become an enrollment gimmick
The director of a public kindergarten told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that in his kindergarten, he mainly emphasized the cultivation of children’s habits and learning ability, and emphasized the combination of conservation. Let children increase their knowledge of things through various games and activities. "For example, we will take the children in large classes to visit the primary school to let them know what the primary school is like, what the bathroom is like, how to study, etc., and we will never give the children classes in advance, let them recite ancient poems, leave homework after school, etc."
The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that it is precisely because the training program of public kindergartens does not involve specific primary school textbook knowledge that it has become a gimmick for private kindergartens to attract students. "If you are in kindergarten in Tongzhou, we want to go to primary school in the city in the future. Preschool classes must be attended. If you don’t learn anything, you can’t keep up with the progress of primary school learning. If you don’t learn anything, you will definitely suffer. " Ms. Liu, a kindergarten supporting a community in Tongzhou, revealed to the reporter of Beiqing Daily. "Pinyin is very difficult to learn. The primary school teacher soon taught it, and it is not easy to master it. After the big class, we have a special Pinyin teacher to delay the children after class. In the past, our own kindergarten taught Pinyin in the big class, but now we are not allowed to teach it. We will take it out as a delay after class." The staff of a private kindergarten in Xicheng District also introduced to the reporter of Beiqing Daily.

"Learning is simple, what should I do after going to primary school?"
The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned from some parents that although private parks are constantly "ahead" of their children’s learning content, parents always respect it. "In fact, these contents in preschool classes in kindergartens are not difficult, and I think they are too simple." Jia’s parents said that in addition to attending preschool classes in kindergarten, she also reported her Erbao to the preschool classes of off-campus training institutions, which made her learn more advanced. In mathematics, she had to learn acute angles, right angles and obtuse angles, and she had to learn rays and line segments. "There are also questions like this, how long a snail climbs a tree, how much it climbs the first day, how much it climbs the next day, and then ask how much it can climb in a few days &hellip. …”
"To tell the truth, these children are really struggling to learn before they go to primary school, and they don’t quite understand. But I also learned lessons. My first child didn’t learn so much before, so I fell behind. " The parents said that the reason why children learn so advanced in kindergarten is that parents have no choice. "Like public kindergartens, they don’t teach anything, and they learn simply. What should we do after going to primary school?" Some key primary schools have to interview in advance, and interviews are very difficult. "

Difficult content
The content of kindergarten graduation study reaches the level of the second grade of primary school.
The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned from the parents of some children attending private kindergartens that the difficulty of children’s learning in kindergartens at present makes parents feel "difficult". Can add and subtract within 100, and can recognize 700 or 800 Chinese characters … … For Jia’s parents who send their two children from private kindergartens to primary schools, these are all "one-stop services" that kindergartens have to do before primary schools, that is, after finishing small classes, middle classes and large classes, they have to attend kindergarten preschool classes for half a year to one year. The content of the preschool class is the content of the primary school. "Four English classes a week, three foreign teachers, one Chinese teacher and one Cambridge student".
The parents of the children in the middle class of another private international kindergarten in Beijing also revealed to the reporter of Beiqing Daily that every Tuesday, the kindergarten has a half-day Chinese class to teach Chinese studies. One of the contents is to recite Disciples Rules from beginning to end … … "Because private kindergartens use textbooks independently selected by the park, parents can’t judge whether the content they learn is age-appropriate and conforms to the children’s cognitive laws, but it is obviously beyond the scope to recite the Disciple’s Rules in full text, even not the requirements of primary school students. This is really too difficult, but kindergartens require memorization and can only do it." The parent mentioned.
When it comes to mathematics, the parent also said that in addition to Chinese classes, the content of mathematics classes in the kindergarten is also a difficult IQ problem, and even involves the problems of series and logical laws. "Like finding laws in ABAB, AABB and 234234. Mathematics is mostly similar to this kind of IQ test, which requires improving children’s ability to recognize laws. " The parents also revealed that because the children are attending international classes in kindergartens, they are taught by foreign teachers for one and a half days every day, and half of them are in an English environment. Therefore, the English teaching level of children from the age of five has already exceeded the normal teaching scope of primary schools today. "English has to be learned early, but the situation of each child is different. My small class can still keep up, and the middle class is a bit difficult."
The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned from an on-the-job teacher of a public primary school that the level of adding and subtracting, recognizing seven or eight hundred Chinese characters, memorizing the complete Disciple Rules and the "logical law" of mathematics within 100 years of kindergarten graduation has reached the level of the second grade of primary school.
Heavy burden
Parents have homework every day and have a "mid-term" exam.
As parents, the reporter of Beiqing Daily called and visited some private kindergartens in Haidian District, Tongzhou District and Xicheng District respectively, and found that some private kindergartens set up courses in the name of "young connection" and "preschool class". When the reporter of Beiqing Daily visited a supporting kindergarten in Tongzhou District, he found that in addition to the regular classes such as small class, middle class and large class, the kindergarten also has preschool classes. I saw rows of desks neatly arranged in the classroom of preschool class, and the curriculum plan of preschool class was posted at the door of the classroom. The reporter of Beiqing Daily noticed that the study contents in the first week of September in the course plan included learning the correct pronunciation and four tones of vowels A, O and E, knowing the four lines and three grids, and practicing the correct possessive writing. The mathematical contents include knowing the adjacent number, knowing that two numbers with a difference of 1 are adjacent to each other, and correctly judging the adjacent number … …
The reporter of Beiqing Daily also learned that in this preschool class, the curriculum is similar to that of primary school. Chinese, mathematics and English are taught in different subjects, and there is morning reading in the morning. There are special textbooks, and Chinese characters, pinyin and mathematics are all studied, and every day the teacher will assign homework. "Teachers send homework to parents through parents, and we have exams every six months, which is equivalent to giving children a summary of one semester and also to let children develop the habit of being in school." The person in charge of Liu in the park introduced to the reporter of Beiqing Daily.
High fees
Young convergence embedded in the large class course charges 1980 yuan per subject.
The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that most young bridging courses will be embedded in the courses of large classes. The person in charge of a supporting kindergarten in a community in Tongzhou told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that if your child starts to attend a small class at the age of 2 and a half, it can last for four years, and then go directly to preschool after the big class. If you plan to have a small class when your child is 3 years old, you can go directly to preschool after the middle class. "The charging standard is the same as the normal large class and small class in the park, with a monthly fee of 4,350 yuan. Our preschool class uses the professional courses of the organization, which is very professional. " The person in charge of Liu said.
The reporter of Beiqing Daily also learned from a private kindergarten in Xicheng District that the kindergarten has after-school delayed classes from small classes to large classes, including abacus, pinyin, painting, robotics and other courses, which are voluntarily registered by students. Large classes include abacus mental arithmetic and pinyin.
The reporter of Beiqing Daily found that after-school delayed classes of English subjects can be attended from small classes. "We mainly serve parents. Some parents can’t pick up their children after work, so they use this 5: 00 to 6: 00 to open some extra-curricular delayed courses. The fees are much cheaper than outside. For example, English is held twice a week, and each semester is only 1980 yuan, from small classes to large classes."

Premature indoctrination of super-class content is not good for children’s body and mind
Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences, said: Kindergarten itself should let children grow up through games, and it is a relatively independent learning segment. Premature exposure to standardized knowledge has a great influence on children’s development. Chu Zhaohui said that when children who learn knowledge in kindergarten enter the first grade, their test scores are higher than those of children who play games in kindergarten. However, in the second and third grades, it began to divide, and many children’s academic performance declined in the third grade, which we called "the third grade phenomenon".
Studies have shown that the younger a child is, the shorter his concentration time will be: 9 minutes at age 3, 12 minutes at age 4 and 14 minutes at age 5. The "primary school" of early childhood education is a repetitive education. If children are forced to concentrate for a long time, it will be harmful to their physical and mental development and not helpful to instill the learning content beyond the outline too early.
