　　My granddaughter, 10, was very happy the day before yesterday because her mother and the mother of one of her classmates took them to a park and a Pizza Hut(比萨饼屋)to celebrate Children’s Day．For a whole day, the two girls played heartily – no homework, no extra-curricular(课外)skills training．The happy life lasted only for one day．Yesterday, everything returned to normal：doing homework till late at night and going over lessons learned at last weekend’s English and “Olympic mathematics”(数学奥赛)courses．

　　Every time I went to my daughter’s house in the evening, I saw my granddaughter sitting by the small desk in her room doing math exercises or writing a compositions given by her teacher．On the white wall behind the desk are some words she wrote．One sentence reads：“Why is the exercise endless?”

　　Poor girl!

　　Although teachers have stopped giving after-school homework to primary school children, parents have been forcing their kids to take part in different kinds of extra-curricular training courses-learning English, painting, music instrument(乐器), weiqi, “Olympic mathematics” and so on, every Saturday and Sunday．

　　Are these extra-curricular courses really necessary in children’s education? The answer is certainly “No”．Take the so-called “Olympic mathematics” for example．These courses are very difficult for the children to understand．Often, they are difficult even for adults(成年人)．
