- Is AI gradually replacing teachers?
On May 30 this year, after launching GPT-4, OpenAI once again announced the launch of a dedicated version for colleges and universities - ChatGPT Edu. This is the first time that OpenAI has officially entered the education field under the ChatGPT brand since establishing cooperation with Khan Academy in 2023. So far, artificial intelligence has penetrated into every aspect of our lives. Understanding your preferences, planning the best driving route for you... Until the advent of ChatGPT, artificial intelligence seemed to have truly entered the education industry. In his latest book, A New Language in Education, Salman Khan points out that artificial intelligence will fundamentally reshape the education system and create a future where everyone can enjoy a world-class education. With the rise of artificial intelligence, workers in various industries are being replaced. Will educators also face the risk of being replaced? Possibility of being replaced Education is a special field that includes both "teaching" and "education" . "Teaching" refers to the transfer of knowledge , that is, teaching students what they already know. AI may do a better job in this area; while "education" involves the cultivation of character , including motivating students in terms of emotions, attitudes and values through precepts and deeds, and cultivating a complete personality. This part of the work is difficult for AI to replace because it involves the warmth and wisdom of teachers. Emotional support and care Teachers not only impart knowledge , but also provide emotional support and encouragement . They are able to understand students' emotions, motivations, and needs, helping them build confidence and overcome setbacks in learning. AI lacks true empathy and cannot provide humane care like teachers. Cultivate creativity and critical thinking Teachers are good at stimulating students' creativity and critical thinking , and guiding students to think deeply through open-ended questions, interactive discussions, and inquiry-based learning. This ability requires a high degree of flexibility and interpersonal understanding , which is difficult for AI to achieve. Guidance of ethics and values Teachers not only impart academic knowledge, but also play an important role in shaping students' moral values and values. They help students understand responsibility , respect , and social justice , and this kind of humanistic education goes beyond the computing power of AI. Personalized guidance and feedback While AI can provide personalized learning paths, teachers are able to provide nuanced guidance and feedback through direct interaction with students . They can adjust teaching methods based on students’ specific backgrounds and learning styles to make learning more effective. Development of social interaction and communication skills Education is not just about knowledge transfer, it is also a socialization process . Teachers help students develop communication , cooperation and teamwork skills in the classroom . This kind of human interaction cannot be completely replaced by AI. Cultural understanding and background knowledge Teachers can adjust teaching content and methods according to different cultural and social backgrounds to ensure that students can understand knowledge in a specific context. AI often lacks flexibility and cultural sensitivity in this regard . “Cooperation” between teachers and AI With the rise of AI in the education industry The role of teachers is also gradually changing Knowledge Transmitter In this role, teachers are mainly responsible for imparting existing knowledge and skills to students. In class, the teacher's task is to systematically explain the course content and ensure that students master the basic knowledge . Knowledge Guide Teachers not only impart knowledge, but also guide students on how to learn and think . Teachers stimulate students' interest through questions, discussions and project activities, helping them master learning methods and develop critical thinking skills . Knowledge Innovator In addition to guiding students to learn existing knowledge, they also actively participate in knowledge exploration and innovation . Teachers have interdisciplinary knowledge and work closely with various new educational tools , such as AI tools, to create a richer, more flexible and more personalized learning experience for students. The curriculum model for innovators Considering the high efficiency of AI technology in some aspects K Education integrates new media with education The ZOOM platform is the software used by K Education courses. Compared with other large video platforms, ZOOM has the following advantages: 1. The audio and video quality is high-quality and stable , and it adapts to changes in network bandwidth to achieve intelligent echo cancellation and audio noise reduction. 2.

No professional training is required and you can get started in a few minutes. 3. The conference function is powerful, the management is simple , it has strong audio and video interaction capabilities, rich real-time sharing functions and multimedia discussion methods. Our teachers often use these new media and technologies to innovate classroom teaching methods. For example, they use screen sharing to display teaching content, use multi-user digital whiteboards for interactive collaboration, create session documents for post-class summary and sharing, and use the automatic transcription function of video conferencing to help record classroom discussions. In addition, teachers also flexibly use learning software , integrate various resources, set questions, etc. to fully optimize the teaching experience. Through the application of these technologies, the classroom is more lively, diverse and efficient.

- Shock! British teaching union calls for the abolition of primary school multiplication tests!!
Recently, there has been widespread discussion in the field of education in the UK. According to a report by the British Daily Telegraph on August 31, the British Teaching Union recently made a request to the government, strongly recommending the cancellation of the multiplication table test in primary schools and calling for the reform of the unified test for Year 6 , especially suggesting that the difficulty of grammar questions be reduced , just to reduce students' anxiety. Currently, all fourth-grade students in public schools in England must take a multiplication table test . Year 6 must take a unified test, usually referred to as SATs , which is an important test that every primary school student must take before graduation, covering the three core subjects of reading, writing and mathematics . These tests are designed to assess students' learning outcomes in primary school and lay the foundation for academic development in secondary school. There are also grammar, writing and mathematics related tests. The UK Teaching Union believes that these exams will cause high anxiety among students and bring unnecessary pressure, and the Department of Education said it will review these demands to decide whether to adjust the current curriculum and assessment system in the UK. However, it remains to be seen whether the education union's proposal will be adopted. The discussion of this change raises an important question: How should children be prepared for the future when education policies may be adjusted at any time? Especially when the form of learning and examinations may change in the future, how can we ensure that they have sufficient academic ability to cope with various challenges? The answer to this question depends largely on whether students can lay a solid foundation at the KS3 stage (Year 7-9) . Although the policies at the primary school stage may be relaxed or adjusted, the science , mathematics and English courses at the junior high school stage will lay a solid foundation for students to enter the GCSE exams and future career development . Therefore, the importance of the KS3 curriculum is particularly prominent in the current context. KS3 Stage At KS3 (Year 7-9), Science, Mathematics and English are the three core subjects, each with its own unique teaching methods and content features, designed to lay a solid foundation for students to enter the GCSE stage. The following are the characteristics and key elements of these three subjects at KS3. science At KS3, students will begin to learn scientific concepts in more depth and gradually become familiar with the basic theories and methods of the three major subjects of biology, chemistry and physics . Each subject has independent content and core concepts. For example, biology will focus on cells, ecosystems and human body structure, chemistry will begin to involve material structure, chemical reactions, etc., and physics will explore content such as force, energy and fluctuations. The KS3 science curriculum places great emphasis on the cultivation of experimental skills . Through hands-on experiments, students can not only deepen their understanding of scientific concepts , but also develop the ability to observe, record, analyze data and draw conclusions . Not limited to textbook knowledge, KS3 science focuses on connecting scientific knowledge with the real world, helping students understand the importance of science in daily life. Science learning is not just about memorizing facts, it also requires solving complex problems through analysis, reasoning and creative thinking . The KS3 science curriculum helps students develop these key skills through practical problem solving and data analysis. math The primary goal of KS3 Mathematics is to help students consolidate the basic mathematical knowledge learned in primary school, such as the four operations, basic geometric concepts and preliminary algebraic applications, while gradually introducing more complex mathematical concepts . This stage of the curriculum provides students with the opportunity to deeply understand and apply these basic concepts. At KS3, mathematics is not only a subject of operation and calculation , but also a subject of training students' logical reasoning and analytical skills. By solving increasingly complex problems, students will learn how to decompose problems, find solutions, and reason systematically. Algebra is a very important area in mathematics, and at KS3, students will systematically learn algebra for the first time, including algebraic expressions, equation solving, functions and graphs, etc. This is not only an improvement in mathematical logic, but also a solid foundation for more complex mathematical learning. Mathematics at KS3 will introduce more statistical and probability concepts , helping students understand how to collect, collate, analyse and interpret data. English At KS3, students will be exposed to more diverse and complex texts, including literary and non-literary works such as classic novels, poetry, and drama, as well as news, speeches, etc. Students will further develop their writing skills and learn how to write for different purposes and audiences, including narrative writing , expository writing , persuasive writing, etc. Students will also learn more about grammar , vocabulary , spelling and punctuation . This stage not only consolidates the knowledge learned in primary school, but also introduces more complex syntactic structures and vocabulary to help students express themselves more accurately and clearly. In addition, oral expression is also a very important ability. Students will practice their oral skills through discussions , debates , speeches, etc. How to learn KS3 well At KS3, the science, mathematics and English courses that children learn gradually become more complex and require a deeper level of understanding and application. Although school education is the foundation , choosing a suitable tutoring agency can help children better cope with learning challenges and lay a more solid foundation for their future academic path. Tutoring agencies can help children make significant progress in their studies through personalized teaching , focused guidance and additional resources . Create a clear study plan Daily/weekly study schedule: Distribute the weekly homework, review content and new knowledge learning to each day. This can avoid cramming at the last minute and ensure that the knowledge points can be consolidated in time . Prioritize weaknesses: For subjects or knowledge points that you find difficult, you can give them more time and attention in your study plan. Use online learning resources Education Platform Websites such as BBC Bitesize, Khan Academy, Oak National Academy, etc. provide comprehensive KS3 curriculum resources, covering subjects such as mathematics, science and English, and have abundant exercises and video explanations. YouTube video tutorial Many experienced teachers have created detailed instructional videos on YouTube to explain difficult concepts , problem-solving techniques , and review suggestions . Scientific review method Spaced Repetition Rather than reviewing everything at once and then forgetting about it, use spaced repetition to continually review what you’ve learned. For example, review a science concept or math formula you learned last week every few days. Summarize and take notes Regularly summarize what you have learned and form clear and concise notes, which can not only help students consolidate their memory, but also quickly review all the content before the exam. Good notes should include key concepts , formulas , experimental steps , and problem-solving methods . Develop critical thinking and practical skills Hands-on experience For science subjects, try doing some simple home experiments or participating in scientific activities. By doing it yourself , you can understand scientific principles more intuitively and improve your problem-solving skills . Discussion and reflection Discuss with family members and classmates, share your insights and ideas , and reflect deeply on what you have learned. For example, reflect on the experimental design and result analysis after science class, or summarize the ideas for solving math problems.
- Behind the explosion of Black Myth: Wukong: Mathematics and science are the key
Recently, the domestic game "Black Myth: Wukong" has sparked heated discussions among players around the world as soon as it was launched. This large-scale stand-alone game based on "Journey to the West" not only breaks the inherent impression of domestic games in terms of plot and graphics, but also creates a precedent for domestic 3A games . Many players have shared their experiences on social media, calling it a "phenomenal product" and even heralding the arrival of the first year of domestic 3A games. However, do you know that to develop such a high-quality game, it requires not only creativity and artistic design, but also solid logical thinking and calculation ability , which are inseparable from the mathematics and science we learn in our daily life? Discussing the complexity of game development from "Black Myth: Wukong" The University of Cambridge enjoys a high reputation in fields such as computer science, game design and artificial intelligence, and has trained many top technical talents. These elite developers have profound technical skills and rigorous logical thinking ability . They not only master advanced skills such as the use of game engines, graphics rendering technology, and physical simulation, but also are well versed in data-driven design and optimization of user experience techniques. Game development is essentially a complex interdisciplinary project. From game planning and art design to program development and operation and maintenance, every link requires cooperation among team members. In these links, logical thinking ability and programming technology are particularly important. It is these technologies and abilities that enable Black Myth: Wukong to create a vivid and challenging Journey to the West adventure in the game world. Logical thinking ability is the basis of game development In the development process of Black Myth: Wukong, logical thinking ability runs through every stage from conception to final realization. For example, programmers need to implement various functions and logic in the game by writing code, which requires them to have clear logical thinking ability to understand and decompose problems. The character behavior in the game, the design of enemy AI (artificial intelligence), the setting of level difficulty, etc., all require developers to use rigorous logical reasoning to ensure the consistency and rationality of the game experience. Not only that, mathematics is also an indispensable part of game development. Whether it is the geometric calculation of 3D modeling , the mechanical simulation of the physics engine , or even the light and shadow processing in graphics rendering, developers need to have a solid mathematical foundation . Therefore, it can be said that logical thinking ability and mathematical literacy are the key to supporting these complex development processes. Why should we cultivate children’s logical thinking and scientific literacy from an early age? Seeing this, parents may be thinking: How can we let our children have such logical thinking ability and scientific literacy from an early age? The answer is simple: cultivate their interest in mathematics and science from an early age, so that they can have problem-solving skills and creative thinking. Our math and science courses are designed based on this concept. Through interesting math games, scientific experiments and logical reasoning training, we help children master the basic concepts of math and science in a relaxed atmosphere, and gradually develop their logical thinking and innovation abilities . We believe that these abilities will not only help children achieve good results in school, but also lay a solid foundation for their future entry into high-tech industries like Black Myth: Wukong. How to make your children more competitive in the future? Join our course! The success of Black Myth: Wukong is not just the success of a game, but also a foreshadowing of the demand for future scientific and technological talents . In this rapidly developing digital age, logical thinking and scientific literacy will be the core competitiveness of children in the future. Now is the best time to cultivate these abilities!

- What should I do if my child always has difficulty concentrating?
Concentration Children's poor concentration and inability to focus are common problems many parents and educators face in the process of parenting and teaching. Concentration refers to a person's ability to maintain attention on a task or activity for a certain period of time. This ability is crucial in study, work and life. However, with the rapid development of modern society and the popularization of electronic devices , it is becoming increasingly difficult for children to stay focused, resulting in poor learning outcomes and even affecting their daily life and social abilities. First, a child’s poor concentration may be closely related to the environment they live in. Today’s children are exposed to more distractions than ever before, with electronic devices such as televisions, smartphones, and tablets becoming an integral part of their lives. These devices not only provide a wealth of entertainment content, but also constantly attract children's attention , making it difficult for them to focus on learning or other activities that require high concentration for a long time. At the same time, over-reliance on these electronic devices may also affect children's brain development and weaken their self-control and lasting concentration. Family education method Secondly, the family education method also greatly affects the child's concentration. Some parents' overprotection of their children or lack of clear discipline can cause their children to develop a habit of inattention. If parents do not provide adequate guidance and supervision when their children are completing homework or studying, the children may develop a procrastination mentality and be easily distracted by things around them. Furthermore, the physiological and psychological factors of children should not be ignored. Some children are naturally lively and energetic, but it is difficult for them to maintain long-term concentration in static learning activities. Such children often need more external stimulation, such as reminders from time to time, to stay focused. At the same time, children may experience emotional fluctuations as they grow up, such as anxiety, stress, or lack of self-confidence , and these negative emotions can also affect their concentration. For example, worrying about doing poorly on an exam or being criticized by teachers and parents can make children nervous when studying and unable to focus on the task at hand . Therefore, parents should give less blame and criticism and be more tolerant and encouraging , so that children can relax and be calm. Improvement Methods To improve children's concentration, parents and educators can start from multiple aspects. Create a quiet, tidy learning environment for your children and reduce external interference. Cultivating good sleeping and resting habits for children and ensuring they get enough sleep and rest every day will help improve their concentration. Develop reasonable study plans and goals to help children gradually develop the habit of concentration. Encouraging children to engage in appropriate outdoor activities to release excess energy is also an effective way to enhance concentration. Giving children more positive feedback can help them build self-confidence and make them more engaged and focused in their studies. Through the comprehensive application of these methods, children's concentration will gradually improve, enabling them to better cope with various challenges in learning and life.

These data not only reflect the efforts and achievements of students in the past year, but also reveal the educational gaps and trends between regions. Here are some key highlights for parents and students to refer to: Achievement gap narrows for the first time For the first time in nearly a decade, the gap in GCSE grades between London and the North East of England has narrowed, from 10.8 percentage points in 2023 to 10.7 percentage points in 2024. Although this is still a gap between the highest and lowest, the change marks a easing of regional differences in educational achievement. In London, 28.5% of candidates received a grade 7/A or above this year, compared with 17.8% in the North East of England. Performance trends by region Six of England's nine regions saw an increase in GCSE grades 7/A or above this year, with only the East Midlands and East England seeing a fall. Almost all regions saw an increase in the proportion of candidates achieving the top grades compared to 2019, before the pandemic. Northern Ireland continues to have the highest GCSE results, with 31.0% of candidates achieving A/7 or above, but this is down from 2023. The proportion in Wales fell from 21.7% in 2023 to 19.2%. SHAPE Subjects Popularity of SHAPE subjects According to the British Academy, entries for SHAPE subjects (social sciences, humanities and arts) have increased in 2024, accounting for more than half ( 54% ) of all GCSE subjects. Subjects such as business studies and music in particular are showing strong growth trends. Business studies has increased by about 9.7% from 2023 to 2024, and music has increased by 8.7%. Other subjects such as modern languages and economics have also shown healthy growth. English Re-examination Changes in English re-examination pass rate It is worth noting that the English GCSE retake pass rate for students aged 17 and above in 2024 has dropped significantly to only 20.9% , far lower than 25.9% in 2023 and 30.3% before the epidemic. In contrast, the first-time pass rate for English GCSEs for 16-year-olds remained stable at 71.2% . Challenges and calls for the education system The Liberal Democrats called for a special grade appeal process for students affected by the RAAC collapse. The Association of School and College Leaders suggested abolishing the compulsory resit requirement to reduce pressure on students .

- What is the British 11+ Mathematics exam? How to prepare for the exam without making mistakes?
The 11+ exam is a selection exam for public grammar schools and private secondary schools in the UK. Students usually take the exam in the autumn and winter of Year 6, so it is commonly referred to as the " primary to secondary school entrance exam in the UK ." Compared with the primary school entrance examination in China, the content and difficulty of the British 11+ examination are higher, and the competition is quite fierce . Therefore, preparing for the examination in advance becomes a top priority. Mathematics is one of the most important subjects. What are the differences among examination boards? What are the subjects tested ? Three major examination boards The 11+ exams for each school are slightly different. Excluding some self-designed exams , there are three mainstream examination boards in the UK, namely CEM , GL and ISEB . GL - Question format: Usually presented in the form of multiple choice questions . -Exam structure: Each subject has a separate exam paper and the time limit is relatively strict . -Content characteristics: More emphasis on basic subject knowledge , especially mathematics and English . -Exam difficulty: It has its own question bank , and the question types do not vary much . CEM - Question format: Mostly multiple choice questions , but with a variety of question types, including fill-in-the-blank, matching, etc. -Exam Paper Structure: Multiple subjects are mixed in one exam paper and candidates are required to complete each part within the specified time . -Content characteristics: Emphasis on logical thinking and problem-solving skills, and the content changes quickly . -Exam difficulty: Adaptive test content, the system arranges the next test question based on the student’s answer to the previous question. ISEB -Exam types: Common Pre-Test and Common Entrance , including traditional paper-based exams and online exams. - Question format: Various question types , including short answer questions , long answer questions , multiple choice questions , etc. -Exam structure: Each subject has a separate exam paper , and the time is relatively relaxed . -Content characteristics: It tends to be more like traditional academic tests . The test content is closer to the school's daily teaching syllabus and is suitable for students preparing to enter private schools . -Exam difficulty: The question types are from the GL question bank , and the test content is adaptive . The questions will be adjusted according to the candidates' answers . 11+ Mathematics Knowledge Modules The official syllabus has detailed definitions and interpretations of the teaching objectives of each module. Year 6 mathematics teaching includes the following modules: - Number: number and place value - Number: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division - Number: fractions (including decimals and percentages) -Ratio and proportion -Algebra -Measurement -Geometry: properties of shape -Geometry: position and direction -Statistics How to prepare for the exam? Preparing for the 11+ Maths exam is a long process. If you want to improve your child's grades accurately and efficiently, you need to prepare in advance. To this end, we recommend the following steps for preparation: 1. Choose a school in advance Mathematics is a required subject for all schools, but the exam contents of each school are different, and there are differences in the difficulty , number of questions , and time of the exam. Choosing a school in advance will help you to accurately collect information about the school's exam subjects , past exam questions, and other information, and establish an efficient exam preparation plan. 2. Reading and Thinking Skills Although it is a math test, students' English reading ability is tested first. If students cannot correctly understand the meaning of the question, they cannot solve the problem correctly. British exams also attach importance to logical thinking , and questions that are not difficult in themselves also require students to have flexible and flexible thinking skills. 3. Be familiar with the question types If the school you are applying for is GL or ISEB test, students can practice directly in the GL question bank . Students taking CEM test will have more difficulty practicing questions because they need to find practice questions suitable for students. 4. Time Management Skills All examination boards emphasize students' time management skills . Students need to improve their average speed in solving problems according to the test requirements and improve their ability to control time on questions. 《11+ Mathematics Tutoring Class》 Facing the pressure of further studies, British students and parents are going crazy.

- The trap of over-indulgence: when ‘naughty parents’ meet ‘naughty children’!
Have you ever seen a naughty kid? The naughty kids in the restaurant are clamoring for their parents to quickly deliver their favorite food to their mouths. The naughty kids on the subway are stepping on the seats and making loud noises. In the mall, park, etc... The annoying behavior of naughty children often makes people upset, and their willfulness and mischief will cause trouble and inconvenience to the people around them. However, if we dig deeper into the reasons behind it, we will find that behind every naughty child there is often a naughty parent . Naughty parents may over-indulge and over-protect their children, causing them to misbehave. They may overlook the importance of giving their children proper guidance and regulation , and indulge their children's willfulness and mischief . Today, let’s discuss a topic that has attracted much attention - the issue of child rearing . Are you overindulging? Children's upbringing problems reflect the quality and methods of family education . Overindulgent parents often fail to give their children proper discipline and education, resulting in children's lack of self-control and sense of responsibility . Overprotective parents deprive children of the opportunity to develop independently, resulting in their inability to cope with challenges in life. In our parents' generation, spoiling and overprotecting children was probably a common phenomenon . In our traditional concepts, parents are always reluctant to spend money and want to leave the good things for their children . They are also always overprotecting them and wanting them to avoid detours. However, with the development of society and the improvement of cognition, we gradually realize the negative impact of this practice. Parents always want to leave all the delicious food on the table to their children. This is a way for parents to express their love, but in excessive pampering, children may lose their due sense of autonomy and ability to think independently , and at the same time become extremely self-centered and self-centered. Similarly, overprotection may be due to concern and worry for children, but inadvertently, it creates obstacles to their growth. Overindulgence means giving children too much care and love, even beyond what they need . Although parents' love for their children is selfless, overindulgence can make children dependent, lack the ability to solve problems, and even lose the sense of responsibility for their own behavior. Therefore, we should give children appropriate free space and opportunities for independent development based on love, so that they can learn to think and live independently . The more protection, the more dangerous Overprotection or over-wrapping is also an issue that parents need to be wary of. In modern society, parents often worry about their children getting hurt, so they protect them at all costs and wrap their children in a protective environment. Some parents interfere too much in their children's daily lives, so that their children cannot complete some simple tasks independently. For example, they may choose clothes for their children, pack their school bags, arrange extracurricular activities, and even make decisions for their children in social situations. Other parents try to create a completely non-competitive and non-stressful environment for their children. For example, they may interfere with the referee's decision in a game, fight for special treatment for their children in school, or even avoid any possible failure scenarios for their children . However, failure is an essential part of the growth process . It teaches children to accept challenges, work hard, and learn from failures. Overprotection will only make children escape from reality and lose the opportunity to grow . Therefore, we should provide children with appropriate support and guidance, but not overprotect them, so that they can learn to deal with various difficulties in life independently . Dear parents, children are our future, and their growth requires our care and guidance. However, we cannot over-indulge or over-protect them out of love . Instead, we should give them enough freedom and responsibility, because only when facing challenges and difficulties can children truly learn to grow, and only in free exploration can they find their own path.
