The Heavy Burden of Study

Nowadays, we often hear students complaining about the ever-increasing pressure of their studies. The school bags on their backs are getting heavier and heavier, the hours spent on their assignments (are) longer and longer, and the after-class activities (are) few and far between.

The reasons for such a heavy burden, however, are various.On the one hand, parents have a strong desire for the early intellectual achievement of their children, thus, forcing them to read more and work harder. On the other hand, all teachers wish their students’ academic records better than others, because it is the main criterion to evaluate their work, so that they assign more exercises and homework for their students to do after class.

We should take measures to solve this problem. First, the existing testing system should be reformed. Second, more attention should be paid to the development of personal quality and overall abilities instead of mere score on the examination papers. Only by doing these can we relieve students’ burden of study.
