Reducing the Burden on Elementary School Students
Being an elementary school student is supposed to be a fun and carefree time in life. We're just kids after all, with lots of energy and curiosity about the world around us. But for many of us, the reality is quite different. We're loaded down with so much homework, extracurricular activities, tests and expectations that it feels like we're little adults instead of children.
Don't get me wrong, I know getting a good education is important. My parents are always reminding me how lucky I am to be able to go to school and learn new things every day. But there has to be a better balance. When I get home from school, I have piano lessons twice a week, math tutoring, and Chinese lessons on top of the piles of homework from my different classes. By the time I'm done with all of that, it's already time for bed. I'm just exhausted and stressed out all the time. Where's the time for me to just relax, play, and be a kid?
The homework load itself is just crazy. I'll spend hours slaving away on math worksheets, reading comprehension passages, and writing assignments, only to drag myself to school feeling drained the next morning. And that's not even counting
the major projects and tests we have to prepare for. My backpack weighs a ton with all the textbooks, workbooks, and supplies I have to lug back and forth every day. No wonder so many of us have back and neck pain!
I can't be the only one who dreads going to school because of all the pressure and stress. A lot of my classmates seem to feel the same way. We're always comparing how much homework we have and commiserating over how stressed out we feel. Some kids even make themselves sick from lack of sleep and putting too much pressure on themselves to perform well on every single test and assignment. That's just not right for kids our age.
It feels like there's also so much emphasis on academics and scores that we're missing out on other important parts of our development. There's hardly any time for free play, exploring outside, exercising, or pursuing hobbies and creative interests. Everything is about prepping for the next test or getting into a good middle school. Don't they understand that we need balance and time to just be kids? Kids learn so much through playing, using our imaginations, and discovering our passions. But a lot of that childhood magic is getting drained out of us.
I get that our parents and teachers just want what's best for us and for us to have amazing opportunities in the future. But at
what cost? We're just elementary school kids, still young and developing in so many ways. We shouldn't have to give up our childhoods and leisure time in the name of academics and resume-building. There needs to be reasonable limits on the workload, more unstructured free time built into the schedule, and an emphasis on nurturing the whole child - mind, body and creative spirit.
It's not just about taking it easier on us for our own sake, although that's important too. There's research showing that too much stress, pressure and lack of play can actually hinder learning and development. Think about it - if we're exhausted, overwhelmed and disillusioned with school from such a young age, how motivated are we really going to be to stick with it later on? We're at risk of getting burned out before we even get to high school and college.
I really hope the adults in charge of education policy and decisions at schools will start taking student well-being more seriously. It doesn't do any good to push us to academic excellence if we're all miserable in the process. We need more balance, with plenty of time for non-academic pursuits, unstructured play, family time and rest. That will allow us to develop into healthy, balanced and happy students who are
excited about learning. Isn't that what education should really be about?
We're just kids after all, with limited life experience and still so much growing up to do. Our job at this age should be playing, discovering interests, building friendships and learning at a reasonable pace. Not feeling trapped in a pressure-cooker of non-stop work with no breaks. A little more compassion and understanding of our needs could go a long way. Let kids be kids again. We'll have plenty of time to be overworked and stressed out as adults!。
