首先, 要考虑的就是physical development, 孩子们户外活动相对较少(insufficient outdoor activities),并且花很多时间在电脑、电视、游戏等,因此会伤害视力(impair eyesight),导致身体素质下降(lead to poor fitness),甚至引起超重(overweight)。学习压力也会影响身体健康(often spend much time on study/face fierce competition so that they suffer from great study pressure).
其次,是intellectual development在校学习学术知识(academic knowledge),从电视或其他途径中了解课外知识(extra-curriculum knowledge that students are interested in),学生们可以扩宽视野(expand vision)和丰富知识(enrich knowledge)。不同科目会训练不同技能,例如数学-train logic thinking,艺术-relax from pressure, discover talents and develop potential,体育-build better physical condition, learn team spirit, 语言-learn more cultures, more competitive when looking for a job, easier to adapt to the globalized world.
然后,德育方面(mental development)也不能落后:学习者应该(are supposed to)遵守规则(obey school rules, learn basic code of conduct),判断是非(judge right and wrong),尊重并体谅他人(respect others and be considerate). 培养独立性和克服困难(develop independence and overcome difficulties on their own). 但学生易受外界不良影响(be vulnerable to the negative influence in TV or on the Internet),易模仿行为(tend to imitate parents' and teachers' behavior),缺乏自控(lack self-control ability)
最后,可以从社会方面(social development)来分析,鼓励学生参加一些校园活动(campus activities)和社区服务(community service)可以帮助积累实践经验(accumulate practical experience to better adapt to society), 培养沟通技能(communication skill/interpersonal skills),解决问题的能力(the ability to solve problems),实习或兼职工作帮助了解工作环境(attend internships or take part-time job to better understand real working environment),认识朋友(make more friends, gain more personal resources),毕竟实践才能出真知嘛(experience is the best teacher)
