找樹(shù)葉，拍月亮，數(shù)大米……最近連續(xù)被“花式作業(yè)”刷屏了

陪孩子做作業(yè)曾一度讓一些家長(zhǎng)吐槽急得要患上心梗，現(xiàn)在家長(zhǎng)們更是要親自出馬，幫孩子做各種“花式作業(yè)”了。萬(wàn)圣節(jié)做個(gè)南瓜燈之類已經(jīng)是一些家長(zhǎng)的拿手絕活，做PPT的功夫也早已修煉到家，甚至各種琴棋書(shū)畫(huà)都快要樣樣精通。但還是有些作業(yè)讓家長(zhǎng)們仰天長(zhǎng)嘆，比如，數(shù)1億粒大米帶去學(xué)校，而且要“一粒一粒地?cái)?shù)”……

幼兒園老師布置每天晚上畫(huà)同時(shí)間的月亮，連續(xù)30天，以培養(yǎng)孩子觀察力。家長(zhǎng)心疼孩子，自己代勞，為此瘦了8斤。

觀察樹(shù)葉，做一份12頁(yè)的手寫(xiě)調(diào)查報(bào)告，收集一棵樹(shù)不同時(shí)期的樹(shù)葉，最近，有些一年級(jí)剛?cè)雽W(xué)的小豆包收到了這樣一份作業(yè)……

Parents at a well-known Hangzhou primary school were outraged after it asked first-grade students to write a 12-page science report on fallen leaves.

杭州一所知名小學(xué)要求一年級(jí)學(xué)生寫(xiě)一份12頁(yè)的落葉科學(xué)報(bào)告，這樣的家庭作業(yè)讓家長(zhǎng)感到憤怒。

The assignment, set over the recent Golden Week holidays, asked children to collect fallen leaves from their local area “at different stages of growth” and measure their perimeter, color, size and texture.

在剛剛過(guò)去的黃金周假期，這所小學(xué)要求學(xué)生收集當(dāng)?shù)?ldquo;不同生長(zhǎng)階段”的樹(shù)葉，測(cè)量樹(shù)葉的周長(zhǎng)，觀察其顏色、大小和軟硬等等。

“How would a first-grader understand the concept of a perimeter? This is clearly parents’ homework,” a furious father of a child at the unnamed school was quoted as saying. “The fallen leaves are all yellow; where will one go to find fresh leaves?”

一位憤怒的爸爸說(shuō)：“周長(zhǎng)這個(gè)概念，一年級(jí)的孩子哪里知道，這明擺著就是家長(zhǎng)作業(yè)嘛。樹(shù)葉都發(fā)黃落掉了，這是不可逆的，到哪里去找新鮮的葉子呢?”報(bào)道中沒(méi)有提及這所小學(xué)的校名。

The children were also asked for two hand-written reports based on their findings, totaling 12 pages. Primary education normally begins at age six in China.

學(xué)校還要求孩子將觀察結(jié)果寫(xiě)成兩份共計(jì)12頁(yè)的手寫(xiě)報(bào)告。中國(guó)孩子一般6歲開(kāi)始上小學(xué)。

The father, an engineer by profession who was not named, said that he completed the assignment and that it took him two days to do it. “I wrote 600 to 700 words for each report and I still had to make sure the text corresponded with the leaves, it was much more tiring than my usual job!”

這位工科出身的爸爸說(shuō)，他花了兩天時(shí)間才把作業(yè)完成。“每份報(bào)告寫(xiě)了六七百字，還要圖文結(jié)合，比我平時(shí)的工作累多了。”

He said his son’s only contribution was coloring in diagrams and collecting leaves.

他說(shuō)，整項(xiàng)作業(yè)，兒子只參與了撿樹(shù)葉和給圖表上色，其他全是爸爸做的。

“It’s basically parents who are doing the 12-page homework, the children are not learning anything,” he said. “Also, if children are learning from this exercise that their parents will do their homework for them, it is not great for their values. In future, they might never work hard again.”

他說(shuō)：“12頁(yè)的作業(yè)，基本都是家長(zhǎng)在做，孩子根本沒(méi)學(xué)到什么東西，而且，如果孩子從此知道，家長(zhǎng)可以幫忙做作業(yè)，這對(duì)孩子的價(jià)值觀都是一個(gè)沖擊。以后，他們可能不會(huì)努力做事了。”

《我的探創(chuàng)活動(dòng)報(bào)告》和《葉問(wèn)》研究報(bào)告，要求圖文結(jié)合，形式多樣。

“They have only been in first grade for one month and a half and can barely write any words, but still have to complete a 12-page written assignment that the science teacher never explained to them,” he reportedly posted on his WeChat account.

這位家長(zhǎng)在微信朋友圈里說(shuō)：“一年級(jí)才學(xué)了一個(gè)半月，字都寫(xiě)不了幾個(gè)，要完成科學(xué)老師完全沒(méi)有帶過(guò)的12頁(yè)手寫(xiě)項(xiàng)目學(xué)習(xí)報(bào)告。”

The private school’s principal told reporters that the project did not have to be completed within the week-long holiday and that students were allowed to use Pinyin or ask their parents to write the report if they did not know the exact Chinese characters for some words.

這所私立小學(xué)的校長(zhǎng)對(duì)記者說(shuō)，這項(xiàng)作業(yè)不是要求十一假期后上交的，孩子不會(huì)寫(xiě)的字可以用拼音，也可以請(qǐng)家長(zhǎng)代筆。

“The homework does not have exact answers, but it was designed to make the children participate more,” he was quoted as saying.

他說(shuō)：“作業(yè)沒(méi)有標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案，需要的是孩子們多參與。”

Teachers had also explained the lifespan of a leaf to the first-graders in class, one educator said, and wanted them to understand the concept through the homework.

一位老師說(shuō)，樹(shù)葉在一段時(shí)間內(nèi)從生到死的過(guò)程，這個(gè)知識(shí)點(diǎn)和孩子們上課時(shí)講過(guò)，希望通過(guò)作業(yè)讓孩子們理解這個(gè)概念。
