Li Hua and Wang Hai are two students of Senior Three. Both of them work hard but they have different learning methods. Li Hua listens to her teachers attentively, tries to catch everything that the teachers say in class and consults her teachers/asks help for her teachers as often as possible if she has some problems. Because of this, she spends less time doing her homework, so it is certain that she can go to bed earlier and she always keeps energetic in the day. However, Wang Hai has quite a different way of leaning. He likes to sit up late at night doing his homework, so he often feels sleepy in class. As a result, he misses lots of key points and it is usually takes him more time to finish his homework, which makes it difficult for him to concentrate on what he is doing. In my opinion, Li Hua learns more effectively in class and has more free time to enjoy herself. So I prefer her learning method.
The majority of the students are pleased with this policy for enjoying more free time to explore their talents or have more hands-on experience. Meanwhile, some of them feel a little afraid of being forced to take part in various training courses by their parents.
While most of the parents accept the policy, considering adequate sleep for their children, some parents doubt whether their children can pass the exams successfully.
Of course, teachers are in favor of it for its better effect on quality education. However, they are also worried whether all students are able to make good use of the spare time after school.
