從我們最近得到的材料來看:過去這半年來,由於學校領導上重視和加強了教學工作,由於師生的積極努力,全國各地區各級學校的學生成績,一般地均見提高,學生對所學科學知識的鞏固和運用,也有了顯著的進步,這是我們辛勤工作所得到的可珍貴的成績。但是,我們同時也看到,教學工作中今天還相當普遍地存在著搞運動的思想和急躁情緒。關於搞運動的思想,本刊已在八月號中揭露了全國各地區學校進行「教學競賽」的材料,並發表社論,指出了這種作法的錯誤。這裏還要再次着重指出的,就是許多教師和學生對教學工作的過高過急要求,因而嚴重地影響師生健康的錯誤作法。例如:北京有些大、中學校學生絕大多數都是除了規定的正課和自習以外,還佔用每天的自由活動時間和星期天上午做功課。許多學生在晚飯後立即到教室去自習,大學圖書館的座位不爭搶幾乎就占不到。走讀生經常在夜晚侵占睡眠時間做習題。 學生中間的學習積極精神,原是好的,但如過份緊張,則勢必造成惡果。例如山西工農速成中學反映:「連課間十分鐘休息時間,也演代數幾何」,四川 Based on the materials we have received recently, in the past six months, due to the emphasis and strengthening of teaching work by school leaders, student achievement at schools at all levels in all regions of the country has generally improved as a result of the active efforts of teachers and students. The consolidation and application of scientific knowledge has also made significant progress, which is a precious achievement we have gained from hard work. However, at the same time, we also see that there is still quite a lot of thoughts and impatience to engage in sports in the teaching work today. As for the idea of ​​engaging in sports, we published the August issue of the materials on “teaching competitions” conducted by schools in various regions of the country and published editorials, pointing out the mistakes made in such practices. Again, it is important to point out here again that many teachers and students make excessive demands on teaching and thus seriously affect the health practices of teachers and students. For example, some large and middle school students in Beijing, in addition to the regular classes and self-study courses, occupy daily free time and do their homework on Sunday morning. Many students go to study in the classroom immediately after dinner, and the university library’s seat is almost underappreciated. Excursion students often practice sleep during night time exercises. The positive spirit of learning among students was originally good. However, if it is too tense, it will inevitably result in bad results. For example, the Workers ’and Peasants’ Secondary School in Shanxi reflects: “Even ten minutes break between classes also takes the form of algebra.” Sichuan
