"I received a notice from the group that I can register for the music reading on the 29th. I made more than 1 phone calls from morning till night that day, for fear of missing the quota of Class S." On December 3th, some parents told Red Star Capital Bureau.

"Whether to continue reading with pleasure depends mainly on the teacher. Teachers who have learned and thought before are very good, and children are willing to attend. But I heard that the overall course is less difficult than before, that is, it is consistent with the school and does not exceed the outline. " Ms. Xu, a parent of a primary school in Shanghai, told the Red Star Capital Bureau.

On December 29th, the registration for the excellent course of Happy Reading was open.

The Red Star Capital Bureau understands that the developer of the Happy Reading Excellent Course APP is Xiao Si Online Education and Training School of Century School in Changning District, Shanghai, and the organization type is private non-enterprise. According to Tianyancha information, at present, the trademark "Learn Xiao Si" belongs to Beijing Xueersi Education Technology Co., Ltd.

many netizens said that most of the teachers who are happy to study excellent courses at present come from learning and thinking. The Red Star Capital Bureau found in the introduction of APP teachers who are happy to read excellent courses that some teachers' resumes are clearly marked as "teachers who have studied and thought about K12", and some teachers only introduce them as "former teachers of K9/K12 institutions".

Chen Meng (pseudonym), a retired teacher of Xuesisi, told the Red Star Capital Bureau that not many colleagues around him turned to happy reading excellent classes. "From the local situation, the demand for talents who are happy to read is not so great, and some teachers have stayed in the literacy center."

in terms of course content and price, it is understood that at present, the subject-based training courses from the first grade of primary school to the third grade of junior high school have been launched in the Happy Reading Excellent Course APP, and the class distribution continues the previous classification method of learning and thinking.

However, after logging on to the APP on December 3th, the Red Star Capital Bureau found that many places did not launch junior high school courses, only learning planning lectures.

Take the sixth grade English course in Beijing as an example. The earliest starting time of this course is January 1th. It is divided into four classes: A, A+, S and S+. It is taught live every Monday to Friday. The price of 2 classes ranges from 168 yuan to 24 yuan, and a single class lasts for 3 hours ***11 minutes, including 35 students in a small class, and the price of a single class is 12 yuan; There are 1 students in a large class, and the price for a single class is 84 yuan.

"In fact, this price is not much different from before." Ms. Liu, a Shandong parent, told the Red Star Capital Bureau that the price of local face-to-face classes was 18 yuan /2.5 hours.

Chen Meng said that the news he had received before was that the content of the class remained basically the same, but the localized teaching and research team was cancelled. "I guess it may be that the headquarters has made a set of content for the whole country, which is not so specific to local examinations."

Parents call 1 times to register, saying that the system management is chaotic

But it is not that simple to register successfully.

"I made more than 1 phone calls from morning till night on the 29th, for fear of missing the quota of Class S." Ms. Xu told the Red Star Capital Bureau.

Ms. Xu said that the places in Class S need to be approved by manual customer service, and they are all old students of Class S before. "There are two ways to review, uploading screenshots of previous courses online or calling customer service." However, Ms. Xu said that during the review process, due to the large number of applicants, slow review and system problems, "the process is very painful."

on December 3th, Red Star Capital Bureau called the customer service number of Le Du You Class for many times, but it was never connected.

Some netizens in Weibo said, "The music reading system shows that the classes of S+ are not allowed to register directly, so that the diagnosis is ignored, and after the feedback, the registration information is filled in several times. The system has always shown that it is impossible to register. I have been calling the customer service all the time since yesterday afternoon, and I can't get through. I watched that the number of places has been reduced until the final display was full."

Many netizens described it as "like grabbing something in a live broadcast room in Li Jiaqi". "I am happier to grab the class than to grab Lingnabel." "In the two days of chaos, several families were happy and worried."

Subsequently, the Music Reading Excellent Class issued a notice saying, "Because after testing the Music Reading Open System, it was found that there were a few faults in the system, which needed to be further upgraded and optimized, so the registration and payment work was suspended, and the download and registration of APP and the paid students were not affected. The follow-up specific registration payment time is waiting for further notice, so please understand the inconvenience caused! "

After "turning from business to non-business", Happy Reading Excellent Course was "employed with a certificate"

Although many parents described it as a "turnaround", compared with the previous teaching and training institutions, Red Star Capital Bureau noticed that the biggest feature of Happy Reading Excellent Course was "non-profit".

according to the "double reduction" regulation, the discipline-based teaching and training institutions in the compulsory education stage need to complete the "shifting from business to non-business" and "preparing for reform and examination" before December 31, 221.

At the press conference held by the Beijing Municipal Government on August 25th, Zhao Xuegang, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, explained that discipline training institutions registered as private non-enterprise units in the compulsory education stage should not aim at making profits, and should not distribute profits to investors, founders or members.

in other words, the main difference between for-profit and non-profit organizations is not the level of fees, but whether investors, founders and school institutions participate in dividends. The public welfare nature of private non-profit training institutions determines that they do not pursue profits or economic returns on investment, and the balance of income must be used for running schools.

In addition, all discipline training institutions are forbidden to go public for financing and capitalization operation, so all listed companies are required to give up K9 business completely, or spin off and set up non-profit organizations.

under this requirement, on November 13th, TAL.US's online school for learning and thinking, and excellent brands for learning and thinking, successively issued a document saying that their off-campus training services for compulsory education will end on December 31st, 221.
