1、A Study on the Education of RuralLeft-behind ChildrenIntroductionSince China carried out the reform and opening-up policy, the national economy has grown rapidly. Simultaneously, peoples demand on material and cultural life is higher. In order to send children to school, build houses and improve fam

2、ily conditions, a large number of surplus rural labors have warmed into cities. Although the parents have settled down in cities, they dont have the abilities to bring their kids and support them. Hence, they have to leave their children behind in the country and ask others to take care of them. As

3、a result, the phenomenon of families living separately appears. Rural left-behind children, as minors in a special group, need to be attached great importance to. Due to weak family education, lagging school management and imperfect social and educational system, left-children now face problems, suc

4、h as learning lag，psychological unbalance，behavior anomie，and their worrying safety. Therefore, we need to focus on this issue and find out some solutions for them.The education problems and analysis of the essenceProblem of learning lagAccording to some researches, the grades of left-behind childre

5、n are generally lower than the average of other children. Most left-behind children cannot concentrate in the class, usually with their mind wandering. Even when they are called by the teacher to answer questions, they dont know what is happening and just say “I dont know” . It is common that left-b

6、ehind children fail to finish homework, skip school and even drop out of school.On the one hand, it is due to the absence of family education. Most left-behind children are adopted by grandparents or relatives, most of which have lower education background, outdated thoughts and ides. They cant give

7、 effective family education, which is also a very important part of childrens education.On the other hand, school doesnt pay enough attention to left-behind children. Left-behind children is a vulnerable group, hence, they need help and concern from teachers and classmates. However, the school consi

8、ders less about their specificity and dont take corresponding measures to help them.Problem of psychological unbalanceA research on the left-behind children and non left-behind children, taking the form of questionnaire, finds that the left-behind children are more extreme and suspicious. They more

9、tend to feel lonely and upset, become introverted, and lack confidence. Their self-consciousness is inferior to others.As we all know, parents have direct impact on the childrens behavior, mental healthand personality development. Separating with parents, left- behind children cant get emotional com

10、fort and care, and they often feel tense, depressed and worried. They may also have interpersonal communication problems. Because of long-term separation with parents, they tend to become introverted, contemptuous, pessimistic and lonely.Problem of behavior anomieWith parents far way from home, left

11、-behind children cannot feel the emotional love and care of parents. Thus, they lack proper guidance in terms of values, ethics and behaviors. Whats more, left-children are often brought up by their grandparents. There are many potential problems in inter-generation education such as dotage, highlig

12、hting material and ignorance of moral norms. Left-behind children are apt to make negative changes. According to a survey, 13 left-behind children have the habit of lying; 25 of them have the experience of stealing money, smoking, drinking, destroying public property.Left-behind children are now in

13、the critical period to establish the ideal and cognize the world. If they can not get the help from their parents on the ideological understanding and the values, they are susceptible to the outlook on life, values, or even on the path of crime, they are prone to deviate from correct view on life an

14、d values, and may even commit a crime.Problem of safetyAt present, for lacking of supervision from school, family and community, the safety protection for left-behind children is badly needed. The potential safety problems of rural left-behind children are mainly reflected in: (1) school safety educ

15、ation is deficient , and security measures become a mere formality; (2) the crisis consciousness of accidental injury and even death events is absent among guardians ; (3) left-behind children are indifferent with the legal concept , so they may do some illegal and criminal things; (4) the self-prot

16、ection consciousness of left-behind children is weak, thus they is prone to get sexual assault, abducted and other abuses.Possible solutionsFamily, school, and society are three crucial factors in the process of children s learning and growth. Thus, to solve these problems, they all need to make som

17、e improvements.Firstly, when parents go out to work, they should carry their children with them as far as possible. They can send children to the school which is located near their workplace. If not, they should keep close contact with children through telephones and letters. They also need to chang

18、e their mind that it is the responsibility of school and teacher to take care of children s education. Besides, guardians should guide children to actively contact and respond to their parents, talking about their study and life. Whats more, parents should take the opportunity of vacation to return

19、home and see their children.Secondly, school is the main place children receive their education, therefore it is rather important for school to focus on left-behind children. School should improve the teachers quality and their teaching quality. They should establish a system of regular contact with

20、 guardians of left-behind children in order to learn the condition when children are at home and help guardians to fulfill their duties of guardianship. Teacher need often to talk with them and comfort them. The school curriculum should also be adjusted. The curriculum on survival, safety and legislation education and mental health education should be set up, so that they can develop comprehensively. Last but not least, society should also focus on this issue. For one thing, the principle of choosing scho
