Can private schools replace diversified education in schools?

In recent years, it is not uncommon for some parents to let their children drop out of school and go to private schools. In particular, various "reading classes" and "private schools" in the market have attracted the attention of many parents under the banner of Chinese studies. Some parents are even more aggressive and let their children drop out of school and go to private schools. China's traditional culture is extensive and profound, so it is of great benefit for children to receive more education on Chinese studies in addition to their regular study, which will cultivate their temperament and improve their humanistic quality and personality cultivation.

However, it is not worth promoting to give up formal school education, ignore children's right to receive formal nine-year compulsory education, send children to private schools, Chinese studies classes and other institutions, or go to school at home, and regard it as a model of personalized education and elite training.

The Compulsory Education Law clearly stipulates that it is both the right and the obligation of parents to send school-age children to school for compulsory education. Whether to send children to school is not only a private matter of the family, but also a matter that the law should manage.

Due to the baton of exam-oriented education, school education has some disadvantages in teaching content, teaching methods, teaching effect and evaluation methods, and some children have not realized the joy of learning. However, letting children drop out of school and go to private schools is an excessive correction. Due to the lack of corresponding norms, various private schools and Chinese studies courses are often mixed, and some educational contents are too extreme, mainly focusing on the study of traditional classics, or simply reading "classics"; Some pay too much attention to external forms, such as letting children "polish their impatience" through a lot of physical labor; Some teachers are not strong enough, so it is obviously difficult for people to realize their weakness.

These educational methods are easy for children to eat alive and learn by rote, which will inevitably alienate children from modern knowledge and real society and easily inhibit their potential and vitality. Although the original intention of parents is to cultivate healthy and complete people, they often ignore the opportunities for children's all-round development.

The significance of school education to the all-round development of citizens in modern civilized society is absolutely irreplaceable by private schools and other means.
