With the continuous development and improvement of teaching work, the responsibilities of teachers seem to be gradually expanding. Not only do they need to teach, but they also have to take on many additional tasks. The latest "meal accompaniment system" has left some teachers feeling conflicted and troubled because it gives them more responsibilities. However, this system has also sparked widespread attention and discussion. In the comments section, there was a heated debate about the new rule, with some in favor and some against. Whether we are for it or against, we should recognize the meaning and implications behind this system.
The main purpose of the meal companion system is to improve the school's catering management and enhance the dining experience of students. In Guizhou, the system has been gradually implemented in public and private primary and secondary schools and kindergartens. There are five roles in the system, including the head of the school, teachers and parents. This system in Guiyang City is known as the strictest school meal system in the country. This regulation specifically requires that the head of the school eat with the students at least once a week to show care and closeness;Teachers need to make a schedule to ensure that they are accompanied by a teacher at every mealParents are invited to accompany them to meals on a regular basis to promote the partnership between the school and the family.
1.Strengthen communication and relationships between school leaders and students. The school leaders have weekly meals with the students, and this contact brings the teachers and students closer together and makes the students feel cared for and close to the school leaders. This has a positive impact on students' learning Xi and growth.
2.Regulate students' dining behavior. Teachers' meal accompaniment can supervise and guide students' correct eating behaviors and cultivate good eating Xi habits. This is essential for the healthy development of students.
3.Promote school-home collaboration. Parents can better understand the school's catering management and food safety measures through accompanying meals, and enhance their trust in the school. At the same time, the school is better able to listen to parents' opinions and suggestions and improve the catering service.
4.Fair collection of meal fees. The accompanying staff are required to pay their own expenses and have the same price as the students, which ensures the fairness of the meal fee and prohibits the teacher from occupying the students' food funds.
1.In favour, the meal companion system helps to create a friendly Xi environment and promotes school-family cooperation. They believe that teachers should focus fully on all aspects of their students, not just classroom teaching. In addition, they believe that the meal escort system can regulate students' dining behavior and improve the quality and safety of school meals.
2.Opponents expressed their doubts and confusion. They believe that the meal escort system will take away the teacher's lunch break and deprive them of the opportunity to adjust their state and rest. They are concerned that this will have an impact on the physical and mental health of the teachers, which in turn will affect the effectiveness of teaching in the afternoon. In addition, some young teachers also expressed their dissatisfaction with paying for meals out of their own pockets, believing that this undermines the dignity and rights of teachers.
In my opinion, the original intention of the meal companion system was to improve the dining environment of students and promote cooperation between the school and the family. This is undoubtedly a positive attempt to enhance communication and understanding between schools and parents, and to raise students' awareness of food safety. However, we cannot ignore some of the troubles and problems that may arise from the meal companion system.
First of all, we need to understand the role and responsibilities of teachers. A teacher's priority is to teach, ensuring that students receive a quality education. Therefore, we should ensure that the meal companionship system does not affect teachers' professional development and classroom teaching.
Second, we need to find a balance between focusing on the food safety of students and protecting teachers' rights and breaks. Consider soliciting opinions from the parents of students to discuss how to better carry out meal companion activities.
Finally, we should also be aware of the financial burden that can come with the meal companion system. Teachers, as educators, should be respected and protected. If self-payment is a burden, it can lead to dissatisfaction and resistance from teachers. Therefore, the financial situation and rights of teachers should be taken into account when developing a similar system.
The expansion of teachers' responsibilities is a product of the progress of the times, and the meal escort system is a positive exploration and attempt. However, we should also balance the interests of all parties to ensure that teachers' rights and professional development are protected. Only on the basis of the attention and respect of all stakeholders can the meal escort system play a better role.
