补习班
Cram schools — Chinese reading, HSK 6
文章
不少家长有一种普遍的焦虑：别的孩子都在上补习班，我的孩子不上，就会落后。于是，孩子们周末的时间被数学、英语、钢琴等各种课程填得满满的，连睡觉的时间都难以保证。

Many parents share a common anxiety: other children all go to cram classes, so if mine doesn't, he'll fall behind. So children's weekends are crammed with maths, English, piano and all kinds of lessons, and even their sleep can't be guaranteed.
然而，教育专家指出，学习效果并不与时间成正比。长期过度学习，反而容易让孩子失去兴趣，产生厌学情绪。更重要的是，童年需要玩耍，需要和朋友相处，需要有时间发呆和想象。
rán ér jiào yù zhuān jiā zhǐ chū xué xí xiào guǒ bìng bù yǔ shí jiān chéng zhèng bǐ cháng qī guò dù xué xí fǎn ér róng yì ràng hái zi shī qù xìng qù chǎn shēng yàn xué qíng xù gèng zhòng yào de shì tóng nián xū yào wán shuǎ xū yào hé péng you xiāng chǔ xū yào yǒu shí jiān fā dāi hé xiǎng xiàng
Education experts point out, however, that learning results aren't proportional to time. Long-term over-studying can instead make children lose interest and come to hate learning. More importantly, childhood needs play, time with friends, and time to daydream and imagine.
教育是一场马拉松，而不是短跑。比起一时的分数，培养孩子的好奇心和自主学习的能力，或许更有意义。
jiào yù shì yì chǎng mǎ lā sōng ér bú shì duǎn pǎo bǐ qǐ yì shí de fēn shù péi yǎng hái zi de hào qí xīn hé zì zhǔ xué xí de néng lì huò xǔ gèng yǒu yì yì
Education is a marathon, not a sprint. Compared with short-term marks, nurturing children's curiosity and their ability to learn independently may matter more.
