Social workers have pointed out that the new measures provide good support for parents and students, allowing parent-child relationships to resume. The high academic pressure on students has sparked social discussions, and many schools have reformed their schedules to alleviate the pressure of doing homework at home. Hong Kong Chaoshang School is one of them. Principal Chan Hon ming said that many parents find it difficult to spare time to teach their children homework, so the school has always set aside classroom space after class, allowing about two-thirds of the school's students to stay on campus to do homework; With the increasing number of students in the school year by year, coupled with daily after-school activities that have almost overwhelmed the school space, it inspired Zhan Hanming to decide to adjust classroom arrangements. The new arrangement will start from next year, and the classroom will be changed from 8 classes per day to 6 classes, with each class extended by 15 minutes, allowing teachers to monitor students' homework progress. For example, after completing a topic, they will do homework related to the topic without affecting the end of school time. Zhan described the new changes as a "triple win" situation, where teachers save time on studying and correcting, students can immediately ask questions when they encounter problems, and parents don't have to worry about no one teaching their children. He emphasized that doing homework in class is only suitable for supplementary exercises, worksheets, and copying; As for collecting data online and reading books, they are still kept at home. In the past, some students stayed in school to do homework and study until 5 pm. Zhan Hanming expected that the new system would benefit most students. He said, "The school does as much as possible, and I don't want students to only stay in school to do homework. They should be allowed to play activities!" The new system has received support from the parent teacher association and the school board. Although it has not been formally discussed with parents, some parents have praised it online: "Regardless of whether it is successful or not, at least the school has truly taken the first step!" This has made Zhan Hanming feel gratified. In fact, Lutheran St. Cross School will also adjust its schedule starting from next academic year, with all classes scheduled in the morning and homework guidance and activities in the afternoon. The school hopes that students can increase their parent-child time by completing their homework on campus. Chen Xiangjun, a registered social worker and director of service supervision at St. Andrew's Children's Home of the Anglican Church, pointed out that students have to face the learning environment from 8 to 10 in the morning for a long time, including going to school, tutoring, and doing homework, which has formed pressure. In the past, many may have emotional or school adjustment problems, and parents and children may also have friction due to homework problems. "The atmosphere is as bad as a battlefield." Parent child pressure peaks from grade two to grade three. As homework problems have just appeared in grade one, and grade four has already arranged homework tutoring or tutoring classes for children, parents may have the opportunity to "get hands-on" in serious situations. It is recommended that parents pay attention to whether their children are under excessive pressure; Chen Xiangjun believes that the new school policy can provide good assistance for parents and children, giving them the opportunity to regain their parent-child relationship.
