Last October

"Children can go out and play for a while after finishing their homework"

Parent 2:

“Parents take the lead in outdoor activities.

The children will follow.

I won’t be thinking about playing electronic products all the time.”

Parent Three:

"The daily activity time is not enough.

But there will be longer outdoor activities every weekend.

This should still be guaranteed.”

…

There are many topics about outdoor activities.

The memories of parents born in the 1970s and 1980s

"When we were young, we studied

The get out of class bell hasn't rung yet.

Basketball under the table,

Rubber bands in drawers, etc.

It’s already ready to go…”

In fact, children nowadays are also interested in outdoor activities.

Student 1:

“After finishing homework, you can go outdoors.”

Student 2:

“Outdoor sports can promote physical health.

Better than staying at home and looking at your phone.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a reduction in outdoor activities

4 hours of physical education classes per week

There are also large break activities every day

Ensure students exercise for at least 1 hour every day

After the “Double Reduction” policy was introduced

School innovates after-school services

Add one class period every day to do outdoor activities

Running exercises by grade

Or carry out ethnic fun sports

at the same time

Schools pay more attention to improving classroom teaching efficiency

Do not arbitrarily increase the difficulty of teaching

Strictly control the number and method of examinations

Take multiple measures to reduce students' heavy academic burden

Keep the book one foot away from your eyes

The chest is one fist away from the table

When holding a pen, keep the fingertips one inch away from the pen tip

Have you achieved "20, 20, 20"?

After 20 minutes of close reading

Look 20 feet away

Hold for 20 seconds

I believe you can do it!
