一场突如其来的疫情，让全球各业都按下了“暂停键”，尤其对教育事业的冲击，超过了很多人的预期。联合国教科文组织发布公告称，全球已有超过8.6亿儿童和青少年受新冠肺炎大流行的影响而停课，人数约占全球总学生数的一半。公告数据显示，截至到目前为止，全球已有107个国家全国停课，12个国家局部停课。联合国教科文组织预计，这一数字还将继续增长。

A sudden outbreak of disease has hit the "pause button" in all sectors of the world, especially in education, more than many had expected. UNESCO announced on March 18 that more than 860 million children and adolescents, about half of the global student population, have been affected by the COVID 19 pandemic. So far, 107 countries have suspended classes nationwide, and 12 countries have suspended classes locally.  UNESCO expects that number to grow.

作为老师，我们深知孩子在疫情影响下，难免会有情绪上的波动——这对于老师和家长都是一个很大挑战。因此，我们真诚希望每一位家长都能够配合老师做好教学工作，同时也给到孩子足够帮助和支持。

As teachers, we know that children who are affected by the epidemic will inevitably experience emotional fluctuations -- a great challenge for both teachers and parents. Therefore, we sincerely hope that every parent can cooperate with the teacher to do a good job in teaching, but also give enough help and support to the children.

课前预习和课后复习是最能够影响听课质量以及考试成绩的因素。据学习金字塔原理，在听讲之后24小时的记忆率只有5%，也就是说，如果不做预习和复习，孩子在听完老师线上讲课后，会忘记其中大部分内容。在开展居家网课期间，尤其需要父母把好关，督促孩子完成课前预习和课后练习，并及时按要求提交。

Prepare before the class and review after are the most important factors that can affect the quality of lectures and exam results. According to the learning pyramid, in the first 24 hours, only 5% of what is taught in class will be remembered.  If children do not preview and review, they will forget most of the content after listening to the teacher's online lecture. In the course of home-based online classes, parents are especially required to make sure their children complete the pre-class preview and after-class exercises, and submit them in time as required.

居家网课不比在校学习，孩子大部分都比校放松自已，难免会出现懒惰情绪，家长应多给孩子鼓励、表扬，激发他们积极学习、复习的兴趣。要确定好每节课学习任务，按计划走，不要贪多，以孩子掌握的质量为准，切忌只看数量不注重质量。

Online lessons are not the same as studying at school.  The student is relaxed most of the time,  and it is hard to avoid the appearance of a lazy mood.  The parent should give the child encouragement, more praise, arouse their interest to learn, and review actively. To determine the learning tasks of each class, go according to the plan, do not over do it, quality always over quantity.

对于孩子来说，上课时保持专注是保证学习质量的前提，作为家长，在孩子居家上课时，请尽量不要干扰孩子聆听和学习，给孩子创造一个安静的学习环境。家长的善意提醒，有可能会打断孩子的学习思路，产生负面效果。下课后，家长可以对课堂内容进行视频回放，适当地提出一些课堂内容，观察孩子的学习效率，也让孩子明白您的态度和要求。

For children, maintaining concentration in class is the premise of ensuring the quality of learning. As parents, please try not to interfere with the class but create a quiet learning environment for the children. Parents, reminders may interrupt children's thinking and produce negative effects. After class, parents can play back the content of the class, observe the child's learning efficiency, and allow the child to understand your attitude and requirements.

家长可以和孩子一起把全家一日的生活、休息、健身、学习、娱乐等安排做成一张时间表，制定电子产品使用规则，防止孩子沉迷网络。还可以列出每日愿望清单，如做手工、画画、亲子游戏、室内运动、制作美食、打理植物等，由全家共同来完成，共度美好的亲子时光，使居家生活变得更健康更有序。

Parents can work with their children to make a schedule for the family's daily life, to include rest, fitness, study, entertainment, etc.  Also, make rules for the use of electronic intellectual products to prevent children from being addicted to the Internet. A daily wish list can be introduced, such as doing crafts, drawing, parent-child games, indoor sports, making delicious food, taking care of plants, etc., which can be completed by the whole family together to spend good parent-child time together and make home life healthier and more orderly.

家长可以利用孩子从媒体上看到或亲身经历的抗疫事件，引导孩子认识生命的价值，建立对生命和自然的尊重与热爱。指导孩子提高自我防护的意识和能力，学会对自己的健康负责，对自己的安全负责，做到关爱生命，关爱健康。

Parents can make use of the anti-epidemic events their children have seen or experienced in the media to guide them to understand the value of life.  You can build respect and love for life and nature. Parents can guide their children to improve  self-awareness.  Children can increase their ability to protect themselves and learn to be responsible for their health, safety and life.

没有一个冬天不可逾越，没有一个春天不会到来。作为父母和老师，在这样一个特殊时期，我们都有责任和义务守护孩子的身心健康和学习成长。愿我们保持专注，待到疫霾净尽，再坐下来，面对着面，讲述更多关于这个春天的故事！

There is no insurmountable winter, there is no spring that will not come. As parents and teachers, we all have the responsibility and obligation to protect our children's physical and mental health and learning at such a special time. May we stay focused until the air is cleared, then sit down, face to face, and tell more stories about this spring!
