Abstract: Abstract In October 2021, the National people's Congress said: the double reduction policy is intended to be explicitly incorporated into the law to avoid increasing the burden on students at the stage of compulsory education. It means to effectively reduce the burden of overweight homework and out-of-school training of students in the stage of compulsory education. After the release of the double reduction policy, many parents worried that their children's academic performance would be affected by the lack of extracurricular supplementary exercises and targeted counseling, and made strong responses, such as hiring tutors with high salaries and investing heavily in online education. According to the observation, these parents tend to have a better educational background and high-paying jobs, while the so-called disadvantaged parents, that is, parents who find it difficult to pay tutors and online courses for their children and have a low level of education, can’t provide their children with a special educational environment after the release of the double reduction policy, which makes their next generation gradually vulnerable in the competition of the same age. On the philosophy of interpretivism, this paper uses the method of qualitative analysis to obtain experimental data by means of interview and observation, trying to find the relationship between parents’ educational background, educational investment ability and children's academic achievement. Analyze whether the double reduction policy is friendly to vulnerable families. Finally, after a series of scientific research and objective analysis, the conclusion of this study is that the double reduction policy will put the children of disadvantaged families in a disadvantageous position in academic competition. And this policy brings great difficulties for parents of disadvantaged families to raise children with excellent grades. The significance of this study lies in a thorough analysis of some controversial social phenomena under policy changes. on the one hand, it can enable policy makers to better understand the merits and defects of policies, make timely adjustments for the benefit of society, and on the other hand. Let parents of different social strata and educational backgrounds clearly understand the challenges they face under policy changes, and make it easier for all kinds of parents to actively respond to policies and find ways that are more conducive to the development of their children.
