"If you study more, you will feel exhausted and confused, but this is the opportunity for you to regain your inner strength - the spirit of self-study."
Those are the heartfelt shares of Mr. Nguyen Minh Quy, Principal of Mac Dinh Chi High School (Hai Phong) in an open letter sent to students and parents before Circular 29/2024 of the Ministry of Education and Training on extra teaching and learning takes effect - February 14.
According to Mr. Quy, students have become too accustomed to teachers reviewing, reinforcing, and guiding them through extra classes. Therefore, stopping extra classes at school will cause anxiety and worry for the majority of students, especially those in their final years.
"There will certainly be disappointment, confusion, and even great difficulties, but this is an opportunity for you to regain your inner strength: the spirit of self-study," Mr. Quy wrote in the letter.
Mr. Nguyen Minh Quy, Principal of Mac Dinh Chi High School, Hai Phong.
The principal believes that self-study is not only a skill, but also the foundation for forming three important qualities:
First, self-confidence is the key to success. In class, everything is carefully prepared by teachers. Tutoring helps students go with the flow at their own pace. Now, each student must steer his own boat.
Mr. Quy hopes that his students will believe that they will have the appropriate learning resources, systematize their knowledge and find the solution. Believe that you can do it and do not be afraid of failure, because each stumble is a valuable lesson for maturity.
Second, self-awareness is the light that illuminates the path of learning. Self-awareness is when students do not need anyone to remind them to actively study. It is the ability to organize time, seek new knowledge, master technology to exploit knowledge and persevere with goals. Self-awareness not only helps students learn better, but also trains a sense of responsibility, an important factor for success in life.
Third, self-control - steady steps in the face of challenges. Self-control helps students control their thoughts, emotions and actions. A person who knows how to control himself will not be swept away by negative influences from friends or social networks. Self-control will give us independence and a strong will on the road ahead. If in the past, difficult problems could wait for teachers to explain again in extra classes, now students have to find ways to solve them themselves.
Mr. Quy reminded his students that no matter how difficult it is, teachers will always accompany, guide and help them when needed. Importantly, students need to be confident to overcome anxiety, self-aware and self-controlled so as not to lose themselves.
"Students can connect and help each other in their studies. Each individual in a group with the same goals will be empowered and steadfast. Thus, when they conquer the spirit of self-study, they will discover their own limitless strength ," the principal wrote.
As for teachers, Mr. Quy understands that it will not be easy without extra classes. Life and work will certainly be hard and difficult. Hard because many of our students do not have the habit of self-study, which takes a long time to form. Difficult because teachers' income has decreased significantly.
"I understand that teaching has never been easy, and tutoring is even more difficult. Each teacher has truly worked hard and received what they deserve, including patience, perseverance, encouragement, and care for their students, which the word "tutoring" itself can never say enough about. Even though we no longer tutor, we are still ready to answer questions and provide direct or online support when possible," Mr. Quy expressed.
Sending understanding and sharing to colleagues, the male principal hopes that teachers will always be a united group, together overcoming difficulties and challenges, so that the teaching profession is not only about patience and hardship, but also about pride, serenity and nobility.
