Is it necessary for elementary and middle school students to learn to cook, garden and fix appliances?

It is necessary for primary and secondary school students to learn to cook, grow vegetables and repair home appliances.

According to media reports, recently, the Ministry of Education officially issued the "Compulsory Education Curriculum Program", the labor from the former comprehensive practical activities in the course of independent, and announced the "Compulsory Education Labor Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition)" (hereinafter referred to as "the new standards"). This means that starting from the beginning of the school year this fall, primary and secondary school students will be able to go from frying and cooking to simple home appliance repairs, to experiencing processes such as carpentry, weaving, and gardening. It's safe to say that more new content will be coming to the classrooms of elementary and middle school students.

After reading this news, the little ones will praise the decision of the Ministry of Education. We, as college students who are already out of school, are familiar with labor classes. During our school years, labor classes were not as formal as they are now, and at that time it was just talk, that is, cleaning up in the classroom. Although the school did not require the labor class to be put into practice, but in the parents taught, I am basic master cooking, cooking, repairing appliances, these basic skills, in the high school graduation, has been able to do a table of food, after the university, quickly adapt to the collective life, in short, you can live self-supporting.

I think that, according to the compulsory education curriculum program requirements, the current primary and secondary school students proficiency in labor skills, learn to cook porridge cooking, repair home appliances, planting vegetables and poultry, the purpose is not only to master the labor skills, but also more importantly, to let the students move their hands, to participate in the labor practice, through participation in the labor process, to understand the true meaning of labor, contact with the reality of life, so as to cultivate primary and secondary school students the correct value of labor and good labor quality. The first step is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what you are doing and how you are doing it.

At present, not only do students not know how to cook, grow vegetables, repair home appliances, but also many parents believe that as long as their children's academic performance is good, there is no need for systematic learning and experience of labor education, which leads to the phenomenon of score theory in many students, and many primary and secondary school students have poorer ability to do hands-on, self-care ability. In my opinion, this time the education department issued a new standard of labor class, the labor class to put forward specific requirements and implementation measures, is very necessary and practical.

From the beginning of this fall, the labor class will formally become an independent course in primary and secondary schools, does it mean that children can learn the labor class can be converted into a person? I think that is not necessarily. In fact, the cultivation of students' labor skills starts with the establishment of concepts and progresses step by step. It is a lifelong process, and it is crucial to students' ability to adapt to society in the future. Since schools are required to offer labor classes, schools and parents have to put this class into practice, so that students can do it themselves in life and learn something in learning, so that children can experience, feel and gain from labor, which is the significance of offering labor classes.

? ? I think that in the current emphasis on academic scores, it is very necessary to provide labor education classes, which is not only students and families need, but also the times need.
