小學課間禁玩耍 還我十分鐘自由

Rope skipping and throwing sandbags during the class break have been fond childhood memories for many of us. But these days, some students in primary schools in Beijing are kept in the classroom during recess. Why do teachers ban them from going to play outdoors?

跳皮筋、丟沙包都是我們童年時候的美好回憶，但是最近發現北京多數小學課間都禁止學生出去玩耍，為何學生遭“圈養”，變成籠中鳥？

There’s a trend here in Beijing but also in other parts of China of not letting kids go run around and have fun. In some places, students are not allowed to go outside the classroom or go on the corridors, but are not allowed to run around and jump.

北京小學禁止學生課間玩耍的現象在全國其他地區也普遍存在，有的學校禁止學生課間在室外玩耍，有的允許學生在樓道里活動，但是不得在樓道走廊裏跑跳。

The school banned the behavior of students from the safety perspective as well as limited space. There’s always the danger around us, how to have some of the very innovative ways for children to play but in a proper place through proper means rather than keep sedentary, let them. So better to do it in a safer environment where they might get a little bit hurt but so they can learn how not to get hurts and how to deal with this rather than just hide them away from dangerous of the outside world.

課間禁止玩耍為哪般？學校受到場地限制，並出於安全考慮限制學生課間活動，轉而變成“因噎廢食”。因地制宜，創新方法確保每名學生都擁有必要的活動空間才是上上策，適當的挫折教育有利於學生成長，小磕碰不過是校園小圈子裏學會生存的必修課之一。解鎖學生課間十分鐘，讓小朋友們更快樂！
