Do you help your parents with chores around the house? Can you cook for your family?
To stress the importance of hardworking spirit education among students of different ages, the Chinese government recently released(发布) a guideline. The guideline calls for students to respect(尊重) work. Students should learn basic life skills and form good working habits, through such education.
The government has been trying to stress the importance of hardworking spirit education. But this has been overlooked(忽视) in recent years. Many teens do not value the importance of working hard and are uninterested in doing so.
According to a study of nearly 3,000 students that was done by Ningbo Evening News in March, only 22 percent of primary and middle school students help with everyday chores around the house.
Schools and families play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard, the guideline says.
Primary and middle schools should provide students with hardworking spirit classes every week, according to the guideline. Schools can also hold activities to give students real﹣world work experience. For example, schools can teach children how to plant trees on Tree﹣planting Day.
As children's first teachers,parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home.Students should master one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms.
