Middle school students in China usually have some problems, such as stress, anger and loneliness. There are different (71) c1.of these problems.
One of them is too much homework. It seems that a student’s homework is never done. Many students can (72) h2.find any time for their hobbies. They all hope to achieve a balance between schoolwork and their hobbies. But it’s difficult to achieve this goal, so they feel (73) s3.about that.
Another is endless (74) e4.. Some of them are too difficult for students to get high marks. Some students even (75) d5.their abilities when they fail in the tests. Many students are afraid of tests and endless tests almost drive them (76) m6..
Students also face the problem of the generation gap (代沟). (77) A7. to a recent report, about 60% of the middle school students think their parents don’t quite (78) u8.them. And their parents often say no to their decisions. (79) P9. their parents want to protect them, but that really makes them sad.
Not all the students know how to (80) d10.with those problems. Can you give them some advice?
Bai Yansong, a famous TV host, expressed his support for students wearing green scarves (领巾) at a primary school in Xi’an. He wore a green tie on a TV program on October 19, 2011.
“I just want the students to know that I’m also wearing a green one. And we are all great people and are as good as those wearing red scarves,” he said.
The First Experimental Primary School in Xi’an made children with poor schoolwork and behaviour wear green scarves. Parents were angry. “The punish-ment is too bad. All children need their self-esteem (自尊) even though they are very young, and they know the green scarf means something is not quite right. It does harm to students’ self-esteem,” said one mother.
Educational expert (专家) Li Zhenxi said that school students have strong self-esteem. They hope to be respected (尊重) and understood. Punishment will hurt them. “It’s better to encourage them rather than call them ‘bad’ students,” he said. Now, the school has stopped the practice.
Some schools think more of students’ self-esteem and have done better in protecting students’ privacy
(隐私) and encouraging them. In American schools, teachers post test results on the wall. Instead of using students’ names, they use secret numbers. This way, students know their secret numbers and can check their own grades only. Many teachers in China tell students their grades by sending text messages to their students.
Schools and teachers are doing more for students’ self-esteem. But it is a long way. Both teachers and parents should realize that test scores are not the only measure (标准) of a student’s ability. Everyone has his own strengths and everyone can make great progress by working hard. Adults should make students get to know their own value. The most important is to make students believe in themselves.
