Children’s Schoolbags Are Getting Heavier
1. 现在学生背上的书包越来越重
2. 学生学业负担减轻不了的原因
3. 结论

     These days we often hear our children groaning under the pressure of an ever-increasing burden of their studies. The schoolbags on their back are getting heavier and heavier, and the hours spent on their assignments longer and longer
     Why can’t their burden be relieved in spite of social protest? For one thing, parents have a strong desire for the early intellectual achievement of their children. They believe that if you don’t force them to read more, a golden opportunity for success will be lost and the chances of their being admitted to key schools, and then to colleges will be slim. So children are under constant pressure to score high, test well, aim first. For another, our teachers ally themselves with parents in applying pressure. Since scores are not only the mark of success or failure for a particular students, but also a measurement of a teacher’s performance, it is natural for a teacher to assign more homework for his own sake as well as for his students. Failure to produce students who win first place in school academic examinations is often seen as evidence of bad teaching.
    To lighten children’s academic burden is not easy, but is worth trying, for after all parents and teachers don’t want the heavy schoolbags to crush their children.
