Forced to Study at home

"Non-stop learning" is originally a good thing, allowing children to maintain good study habits at home. However, many parents hope to use this "holiday" to let their children "learn ahead" and "learn more", which will cause pressure on their children and learning will become passive.

If children are willing to learn and take the initiative to learn, the long vacation is undoubtedly a good opportunity for children to fill in the gaps or learn what interests them. However, if children only learn passively at the request of their parents or even overload learning, it will affect children"s interest in learning.

在家被迫學習

“停課不停學”本來是一件好事，可以讓兒童在家也保持良好的學習習慣。但是有部份家長卻希望利用這個假期讓孩子“超前學”“多學習”，這樣就會給孩子造成了壓力，學習就變成了被動。

如果孩子們愿意學習、主動學習，超長的假期確實是孩子查漏補缺或者學習自己感興趣內容的好機會。但是如果孩子們只是在家長的要求下被動學習，甚至超負荷學習，會影響孩子們的學習興趣。
