Parents often have their own ideas and methods when it comes to their children's education, but how to use these methods correctly is not something that can be explained in one sentence. Nowadays, many education policies are influenced by parents. They accused teachers of corporal punishment of students, leading to policies by education authorities prohibiting teachers from corporal punishment of students;They complained that students had too much homework after class, and the authorities set the amount of homework and the time to complete it;They complained that schools were released too early, leading the education authorities to introduce a policy of after-school extended services. However, some parents have begun to oppose the after-school service, believing that it causes their children to have no time to complete their homework in the evening. The swaying of parents from side to side makes education experts confused and helpless about them. Education should be made by people who are proficient in education, rather than letting the opinions of parents dictate the development of educational issues. If our education is subject to the opinions of parents, then does it still have a future and hope?
However, it cannot be generalized that what parents are doing is not all wrong. For example, the parents of the eighth class of the fourth grade of the Changtu County Experimental Primary School in Tieling, Liaoning Province, their collective strike is worthy of recognition. It happened on November 27, when parents were reluctant to accept a "problem student" into the class, and as a result, they decided to have all students go on strike. Parents first appealed to the school, but were deniedThey then complained to the Education Bureau, but the Education Bureau upheld the school's decision. So, they decisively took the action of the student strike and posted the matter on the Internet to seek the support of the public and **. Parents are doing this in order to occupy the moral high ground and force schools and education boards to confront the problem head-on. Judging from the development of the whole incident, the parents are not wrong. The school placed the student in the class without informing the parents, which is obviously contrary to the Sunshine Placement Policy, and the parents naturally have the right to say no to it. Therefore, parents are not doing anything wrong. The fault is that the school's method of dealing with problem students is too simple and crude, and there is a lack of a safe and practical way to deal with it.
This "problem student" was originally a student in Class 11. In that class, he bullied every classmate, and the discipline in class was even more fragile, and even the head teacher was helpless and unable to manage and educate. The reason for this shift was that his behavior caused the head teacher of Class 11 to fall ill and be hospitalized. When the mid-term exam papers were distributed, he threatened the class not to tell his parents about his results, and insulted the class teacher, causing the class teacher's condition to worsen. To solve this problem, the school decided to transfer him to class 8. However, the arrival of such a student caused unrest in the class. His presence deprived the class of its quiet Xi environment, and everyone became frightened. Are parents okay with this?Apparently impossible. Their refusal was justified. The school follows the sunshine class placement policy when assigning classes, and students are assigned according to their grades. However, it is clear that a student with bad character is placed in the class without authorization, which is obviously contrary to the principle of sunshine class.
Faced with the decision of the school and the Education Bureau, parents decided to adopt a collective strike to express their dissatisfaction. They posted this event on the network, hoping to get the support and attention of the public and **. They started a discussion asking if there was something wrong. In fact, they did nothing wrong. Their actions are motivated by concerns for the safety of children and the Xi environment for their studies, as well as to draw the attention of schools and education boards to this issue. Through collective action, parents have succeeded in generating social attention and discussion. This incident has also prompted schools and the Education Bureau to rethink how to deal with problematic students, which fully demonstrates the sense of responsibility and determination of parents for their children's education.
It is normal for parents to express their opinions and needs on the education of their children, but how to use these methods correctly is not a simple matter. Some of the parents' opinions and actions are to protect the rights and interests of their children and create a good learning and Xi environment, which deserves recognition and support. However, we also need to reconcile educational decisions with parents' opinions. Education should be decided and implemented by educators, and parents should be participants and supervisors, rather than exercising decision-making power directly. Only in this way can our education have better development and progress.
