Sharing about the set of 32 grade 1 textbooks according to the new general education program, many VnExpress readers said that the amount of new knowledge is too heavy for children:
Can’t understand how reforming grade 1 textbooks will benefit children, or is it just to create more pressure for them?
My sister has two boys.
My family has a child in 1st grade. Many times I want to give up on my child’s education program.
Education reform, in my opinion, seems to simply bring part of the curriculum from the upper classes to the lower classes.
>> I’m confused because preschool students have to go to extra classes
Agreeing with the above point of view, many readers also pointed out the reasons leading to the inadequacies of the reformed first grade textbooks:
I’m also a teacher, I know that the person who wrote the book is not the one in charge of the classroom and doesn’t understand the psychology of children.
I am also a teacher and see that people who write books are not teachers or have been invited to teach classes to evaluate and comment.
When I first heard about the idea of many book series, I didn’t like it.
Based on what scientific basis about children’s thinking, perception, and memory ability to come up with such a set of textbooks, or is it just based on personal feelings?
I think there is no other country’s education program that requires parents to accompany their children every day so that they can understand the basic lessons in class.
>> ‘4-year-old children who are not yet literate are considered retarded’
Meanwhile, others have mixed views, pointing out the positive points from the new first grade textbooks:
I have a child in 1st grade and know that the new curriculum textbooks are not as difficult as many people say.
Second, in my opinion, the reform is only about the content, but the spelling and rhyming methods are still the same, so I can still teach my children normally, not a complete reform as you said.
Third, in my opinion, this year’s first grade textbooks can still be reused, rather than having to be thrown away after being used (try it on and see what this year’s new curriculum textbook is like?)
Fourth, Textbooks are not constantly changed. The last time a textbook was changed was 16-17 years ago (every year, people only republish or revise to update some content).
Old books are criticized for being outdated, new books are criticized for being difficult.
My children, friends’ children, and my youngest brother already knew the letters in first grade because they had already learned them in the last year of kindergarten.
>> What do you think about the reformed first grade textbooks?
I’m lucky that I don’t have to take extra lessons from my homeroom teacher
The head of the Parents Association sent a text message to persuade the whole class to take extra classes
