As reported by Tuoi Tre Online , recently when discussing the draft Law on Teachers at the National Assembly , delegate Tran Khanh Thu said that it is necessary to see the issue of extra classes stemming from the learning needs of society, students and parents, and not necessarily all blame teachers for forcing extra classes.
According to delegate Thu, "there is nothing wrong with teachers reducing family time to teach extra classes and increase income."
Hundreds of readers' opinions have been sent to Tuoi Tre Online . Many of them believe that there needs to be an optimal solution to the problem of extra teaching and learning because it has a profound impact on everyone, every family and affects the quality of the country's human resources.
Extra teaching and extra learning is a supply and demand relationship?
Reader Trang said: "The relationship between tutoring and extra learning is indeed an economic relationship between supply and demand, that is a normal economic law. But here, between students and teachers in the classroom, there are many negative aspects.
The relationship between a teacher teaching in class and his students in a private tutoring class is completely different from that between a doctor treating a patient.
Because patients have the freedom to choose, they can spend money to go to different hospitals, but students have almost no choice.
Speaking more about the negative aspects of teachers tutoring their own students, reader Bich frankly said: "Teachers Bringing knowledge that should be taught in class into extra classes makes students lose their rest time, parents lose more money, and teachers get a bad reputation.
Because it is still common for homeroom teachers (public elementary schools) to ask parents to teach students things like: reading new lessons in advance, memorizing formulas...
"It's all the teacher's job, but then they go through the parents' committee and suggest that the students' parents "voluntarily and under duress" sign up for the teacher's extra classes," this reader said.
Many readers believe that allowing teachers to tutor their own students in class is the reason why the quality of teaching during regular hours will decline.
"The consequence of tutoring is that we do not focus on imparting all the lesson content during regular school hours to students, but save it for extra teaching outside" - reader Thanh wrote.
Reader Le Quang shared: "Increasing income by tutoring teachers is not wrong, but they use it as an excuse to not be able to teach the full official curriculum to students, forcing them to take extra classes. The proof is that when tested, students who take extra classes get higher scores than students who do not take extra classes."
Students study all day and late at night?
Not only does it affect the quality of teaching and learning, but extra teaching and learning also greatly affect children's playing time, time for participating in physical activities, sports, and improving their stature...
Reader Nhat Le commented: "It's not wrong for teachers to teach extra classes, but after school hours, they force students to go to the teacher's house to continue doing homework until late at night; parents have to rush to pick up and drop off their children many times, which is really too much."
"I don't want my children to go to extra classes, but if they don't go, they will be hated. Extra classes only increase the teachers' income. They go to school during the day, come home at night, and study on the weekends. Where is the time for the children to rest?", reader Thuy expressed.
Faced with the negative effects and consequences on students caused by extra tutoring, reader Viet Nguyen said: Extra teaching and learning outside of school in any form should be strictly prohibited.
Instead, schools should organize regular classes (in the morning) and extracurricular, talent, or review classes at school (in the afternoon).
The budget must be guaranteed to cover these activities. If there is a shortage, a part of it can be socialized, but there must be specific regulations.
Thus, students can both study all cultural subjects and review at school, and at the same time study all aptitude subjects, life skills... right at school, and spend time resting and helping their families in the evening.
Teachers must devote all their time to school, and have additional income support from the state budget or socialized sources.
In fact, students do not take extra classes but teachers teach wholeheartedly, so students still do well.
Reader Le Van Thanh shared: "This year I don't teach extra classes, but in my class there are still many good students and general students with very solid knowledge."
According to reader Thanh , teachers only need to study the lesson carefully and then guide students to grasp the key knowledge. Especially, regularly giving homework to students and diligently grading them will help students gain solid knowledge without needing to study more.
