I can complete the handwritten newspaper homework independently without the help of my parents." She put the homework It is evenly allocated to half an hour every day. Now that I have completed my homework, I am "calm" and waiting for the start of school.

Many parents and teachers recognize the significance of handwritten homework assignments.

Teacher Tan from a primary school in Zengcheng District said:

"I assigned a handwritten newspaper assignment to the first and second grade students during the summer vacation. The theme was parent-child reading. This handwritten newspaper assignment can cultivate children's habit of reading more and promote parent-child communication."

Parent Ms. Huang also raised the question "Why do we need to write handwritten newspapers" when her children were in first and second grade? Now that their children have grown up, they can also complete handwritten newspaper homework independently. She said:

"Thank you for the handwritten newspaper, which has improved the child's comprehensive ability. Now the child basically doesn't have to worry about me collecting information and studying independently."

Parent Ms. Cheng told reporters that she had previously exchanged handwritten homework assignments with other parents and found that most parents liked this form of homework. she says:

"For primary school students, I think hand-written newspapers are a very useful homework. First of all, it is not a pile of words. There is no need to write a lot of words. Children can complete it in a variety of ways such as poetry and painting. The forms are diverse and fun; secondly, , making handwritten newspapers can promote children's multi-dimensional thinking. Before doing it, he needs to check information or experience, select and determine the angles he is interested in, and when doing it, he also needs to compose, design, and operate hands-on. Compared with those who copy, calculate, etc. Assignment, copying newspapers by hand is undoubtedly a fun assignment.”

Guo Wenfeng, principal of Huarong Primary School, said,

"A handwritten newspaper is very good in terms of form. First of all, it can be written, drawn, cut, and pasted. The length can be large or small. There are many themes suitable for handwritten newspapers. When making handwritten newspapers, you need to collect information and organize it. Layout, this process can arouse students' interest in learning and stimulate students' creative ability. At the same time, the form of handwritten newspaper is very suitable for teachers to collect homework and students to display their works. It can be said to be a kind of homework that teachers and students love to see. But any good thing The amount should be appropriate.
