A tragic incident occurred at Shangli Middle School in Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province: a 14-year-old girl suddenly fainted during a physical education class and eventually died. Faced with such a sudden tragedy, parents blamed the school, believing that the school did not take timely action after the accident. The school responded that it immediately provided emergency treatment after learning that the girl was unwell, but unfortunately, the girl still passed away. The two sides insist on their own words, and the controversy continues. This incident has touched the hearts of many parents and netizens, and everyone has their own ideas about the respective responsibilities and handling methods of the school and parents.
Parent Zhong Moumou's father had already passed a few minutes when he received the school, and he couldn't imagine the desperate and unacceptable mood. He believes that there is a serious problem with the school: the school infirmary is not staffed with a school doctor, and such an infirmary is nothing more than a decoration;The teacher saw that the child had fainted but did not immediately call 120, but waited for the parents to come and deal with it. Schools have an important responsibility for these two points. The school infirmary was set up to deal with student emergencies, but now the child has a problem and cannot find the school doctor, which is a serious violation of the duty of the infirmary. The PE teacher, as the person involved in the incident, is the main person responsible for the accident, and they should call 120 immediately and treat them instead of delaying time. Unfortunately, PE teachers are not aware enough of the dangers of sudden death to take any action, which is a major failure in education.
The school responded that after learning that the girl was unwell, the school and medical staff immediately carried out emergency treatment, but unfortunately, the girl eventually passed away. However, the parents were not satisfied with the school's response, and they asked the school to investigate the cause of the accident and give a clear explanation. To resolve the dispute, parents recommend reviewing the school's surveillance footage as there are surveillance devices in every corner of the school. Through the surveillance footage, it can be clarified who exactly is lying. But so far, the school has not made a clear response, which makes parents and netizens even more dissatisfied. They questioned whether the school and the school board were hiding certain truths, which caused confusion among many people.
What is even more unacceptable is that Zhong Moumou's mother was removed from the group chat by the teacher after she questioned the parent group due to emotion. This attitude towards the child's parents is unacceptable and deprives her of the right to speak. This incident has taught people a profound lesson. When dealing with student emergencies, schools should do a good job of prevention, such as making statistics on students' health conditions at the beginning of each semester and asking parents to fill in truthfully, so that schools can understand students' physical conditionsThe infirmary should be complete and equipped with a school doctor, and the school doctor should not leave his post;Before physical education classes, students should be reminded that they can take time off or rest if they are unwell or have underlying medical conditionsIn the event of a student fainting, the teacher should promptly notify the school doctor and call 120, and contact the parents at the same time. All these measures can reduce the occurrence of similar incidents to a certain extent.
As an editor who pays attention to current affairs in education, I can't help but have some thoughts and reflections on this sudden death of a girl. First of all, in the face of parents' accusations, schools do have a certain responsibility. The infirmary is not staffed with a school doctor, which is very irresponsible. There are also inadequacies in the professional training of physical education teachers in schools, and it is an unforgivable mistake for physical education teachers to fail to take timely action in the face of emergencies. Schools should also be more proactive in addressing parents' queries and give clear answers in a timely manner, rather than making parents and netizens wait for a long time.
On the other hand, as parents, we should also have a better understanding and grasp of our children's health. If a child has an underlying medical condition, we should inform the school in time so that the school can take precautions when educating and caring for the child. When parents encounter similar situations, they should also deal with them calmly, not blindly criticize the school, but also take the initiative to communicate with the school and seek solutions.
The only thing that is really lost in such an event is a young life. For both parents and schools, they should learn from this and take steps to ensure the safety and healthy growth of their children. At the same time, regulators should also inspect and assess schools' safety measures and emergency response capabilities to ensure that similar tragedies do not happen again.
Finally, we should give the deceased remembrance and respect and wish her rest in peace. Hopefully, such tragic events will not happen again, and every child can grow up in a safe and healthy environment.
