Copying homework is a very bad behavior, because they will not only lead to a decline in academic performance, but also a perfunctory attitude toward learning. But in real life, many children will plagiarize others' homework, which makes parents and teachers feel very distressed.
What parents should do when children plagiarize homework
1. Learn the reasons for copying homework from children. When parents find that their children have problems copying homework, they should not just criticize their children or beat them up. Instead, they should calm down and communicate with their children to understand the reasons for their children copying homework.
Some children may be too lazy to do homework and take the initiative to copy their classmates' homework. Some children may have to copy their classmates' homework because they do not understand the class content and cannot do homework. Therefore, parents should calmly understand the real reasons for copying homework with their children, and then take different countermeasures.
2. Explain the importance of homework to children. For children who are unwilling to do homework, parents should tell them the importance of doing homework. According to Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve, the newly learned content is very easy to be forgotten. Only by reviewing and consolidating these content in time can the forgetting rate be minimized.
Doing homework can not only consolidate the content learned that day in time, but also timely check and fill in the gaps of the problems existing in your study. If children always copy homework, they will spend twice as much energy to review and consolidate before the exam, which will not only make them very tired, but also reduce their review effect.
3. Help children overcome vanity. In fact, children have strong self-esteem. If they are criticized too severely by the teacher due to their wrong homework and test questions, they will be afraid of the bad reputation among their classmates, and even more afraid of being known by their parents. Driven by the "face saving" mentality, he will take the plagiarized homework as a facade for himself, or add points for himself by playing tricks in the exam.
4. Let children know the importance of being down to earth. In order to make children full of positive energy for learning, parents must also let children know the importance of being down to earth in addition to encouraging them more. For example, you can get a low score in the exam, but you can't copy others' answers for yourself. In order to make the children more understandable, we can use scenario telling to influence the children.
Reasons for children copying homework
1. The homework is difficult, and children can't do it. Although the homework assigned by the teacher is basically to consolidate and improve what has been said, the children's ability to solve homework varies with their degree. If the homework is difficult and the child has been unable to do it, he may choose to copy the homework of other students.
2. The children themselves are lazy and lax. Some children have poor self-control and are lazy and lax. You must supervise them all the time to finish their homework. Once you relax, they will also feel "relaxed", so they will choose to copy homework in order to go out to play as soon as possible.
3. The time is too short and the workload is too large. Some children copy their homework because they can't finish it. The teacher left too much homework, but the time is short, they certainly can't finish the homework. So, in order to cope with parents and teachers, we had to start copying homework.
Two words that parents cannot say when they find their children copying homework
"Whose homework is it? I'll give it back to him." It was embarrassing for parents to find out that they were copying homework. If parents find out who the homework is, another student will also be in trouble. This student may alienate his child, thinking that he is really ungrateful. Let you copy my homework and sell me. The child will certainly not admit it.
"How can you let me trust you in the future?" The child also knows that copying homework is wrong. When the parents catch it, they give the child a chance to correct it. The child may not make such a mistake again in the future.
But if the parents come up and say that they don't trust the children in the future, after the children correct, the parents still doubt whether the children are copied, which will dampen the enthusiasm of the children. Parents should give their children the opportunity to correct, and believe that their children can correct.
