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.

在家被迫学习

“停课不停学”本来是一件好事，可以让儿童在家也保持良好的学习习惯。但是有部份家长却希望利用这个假期让孩子“超前学”“多学习”，这样就会给孩子造成了压力，学习就变成了被动。

如果孩子们愿意学习、主动学习，超长的假期确实是孩子查漏补缺或者学习自己感兴趣内容的好机会。但是如果孩子们只是在家长的要求下被动学习，甚至超负荷学习，会影响孩子们的学习兴趣。
