For many people, university life is the beginning of independent life, and students no longer rely on the care and supervision of their parents, but have to manage their own studies and lives. As a result, it is difficult for many people to imagine that there would be a parent group in college. However, some schools have recently asked students to open parent groups, which has aroused concern and reflection among students.
At the college level, the presence of parent groups may have some significance. First and foremost, for some students who are far from home, parent groups can be an effective way for them to stay in touch with their families. College life is new to many people, and they need to adapt to a new learning environment and lifestyle. In this process, you can share your experiences and feelings with your family through the parent group, and get their support and encouragement. This is helpful for students' mental health and resilience.
Secondly, in some emergency situations, the parent group can play a role in timely communication. When students encounter physical discomfort, important matters, or emergencies, they can ask parents for help and help through the parent group. This can provide timely support and solutions to ensure the safety and well-being of students.
Thirdly, the parent group can be a bridge between students and their home school. Schools can disseminate important notices and information through parents, and parents can also use the parent group to learn about the school's educational policies and activities. This sharing of information can foster collaboration between schools and parents with a shared care and focus on the growth and development of students.
In summary, the existence of parent groups at the college level is somewhat plausible and can serve as a way to connect families, provide support, and solve problems in some cases. However, we also need to pay attention to the impact of parent groups on students' autonomy and free development.
University life is a critical time for students to develop their autonomy and responsibility. At this stage, students learn to think independently, make independent decisions, and solve problems. However, the presence of parent groups can challenge students' autonomy to a certain extent.
First, parent groups can lead to an over-reliance on supervision and instruction among students. In the parent group, parents may constantly ask about the student's learning and living situation, and even give opinions and suggestions on the student's decision-making. This kind of excessive involvement may make students lose the ability to think and make decisions independently, and it is easy to form a dependency mentality.
Second, the existence of parent groups may make some students overly dependent on their parents, affecting their ability to solve problems independently. When students encounter difficulties or setbacks, they habitually turn to their parents for help instead of actively seeking solutions to their problems. This situation can hinder students from developing their own problem-solving skills and limit their autonomy as they grow.
In addition, the presence of parent groups may increase students' learning stress and anxiety. In the parent group, students are often required to present their academic performance and performance to their parents, which can increase their competitive pressure and anxiety. Students may worry that their performance in the parent group will be judged by their parents or classmates, which in turn will affect their confidence and self-esteem.
Therefore, while parent groups have some legitimacy in certain situations, we should also be wary of the potential impact of parent groups on students' autonomy and free development. Parents and schools should encourage students to think independently, make decisions and solve problems on their own, and give them more freedom and space.
The presence of parent groups at the university level has sparked extensive discussion and reflection. On the one hand, parent groups may provide an effective way of home-school communication that can promote cooperation between school and home. On the other hand, parent groups can have a negative impact on students' autonomy and development, limiting students' ability to think independently and solve problems.
In my opinion, university should be a stage where students develop their autonomy and independent thinking skills. Excessive parental intervention can deprive students of the opportunity to discover and develop themselves in the liberal academic environment of the university. Therefore, I don't think it's wise to set up a parent base at the college level.
Instead, schools and parents should encourage students to make decisions and take responsibility for themselves, and develop their independent thinking and problem-solving skills. Parents can stay in touch and support with their children in other ways, such as emails, phone calls, etc., and provide them with the necessary help and guidance.
Most importantly, students should also learn to think independently, make their own decisions, and solve problems. University is a stage where students are able to freely explore and develop themselves, developing their abilities through self-directed learning and practice. They should learn to face challenges and difficulties, develop their problem-solving skills, and explore their potential and interests in practice.
Only by establishing a reasonable balance between parents, schools and students, which not only values the support and participation of parents, but also gives students sufficient autonomy and development opportunities, can we better promote the growth and development of students.
