Education has always been an important issue for parents, and for the sake of their children's future, parents pay special attention to education issues. However, it is unacceptable that some criminals turn parents' concerns into a means of personal gain. Recently, on social platforms, a parent posted a complaint, angrily accusing some people of treating parents' education as leeks and cutting profits again and again. To add to the persuasiveness of the article, he cites three specific examples as support. First of all, he mentioned that his child's pure milk was confiscated by the teacher on the grounds that it affected other children. However, the unfairness of the ** milk sold by the school itself can be enjoyed by all children, which is incomprehensible. Second, he complained that the school had changed the dismissal time from 5 p.m. to 3 p.m., but made parents pay hundreds of yuan for after-school services. Finally, he mentioned that the school requires students to carry out social practice activities, and they need to pay hundreds of yuan per semester. Parents have always been concerned about the issue of education fees, especially at the compulsory education level. Although compulsory education is supposed to be free, there are now more and more fees that are too much for parents to afford. Some of the charges seem ridiculous. For example, a school in Dongguan, Guangdong Province ordered school uniforms, and a set of ** exceeded 4,000 yuan, which made people reflect. Although this is a private school, the tuition fee will naturally be higher, but parents should also have a bottom line and should not be deceived. The requirement to pay 5998 yuan at one time to buy a tablet computer undoubtedly makes parents feel helpless. The school's apparent coercion of placing students into classes on the condition of buying tablets is unacceptable. Moreover, parents quickly discovered that buying the same tablet online was significantly lower than what the school requires. Although the school explained that it was part of the software fee for three years, etc., it was clearly an act of collecting money. A similar situation also occurred in Jilin No. 7 Middle School, where they asked parents to buy winter vacation homework at a price of 50 yuan per book, seriously overcharging fees, and trying to cover up the truth. These fees may not seem like much, but they have caused great dissatisfaction among parents.
Closer to home, we're talking about the chaos of education fees. In China, free and compulsory education is free of tuition and miscellaneous fees, but all other fees are the same. Teaching fees, material fees, test paper fees, after-school service fees, class fees, school uniform fees, meal fees, milk fees, water fees, electricity fees, air conditioning usage fees, insurance fees, research fees, etc., these are all normal charging items, and the amount starts from one or two thousand yuan. In order to generate more revenue, the school has looked for ways to make people stunned. In order to solve the problem of chaotic education fees, it is first necessary to increase investment in education and ensure that the relevant funds for compulsory education are in place. Second, it is necessary to strengthen supervision and control over schools, strictly prohibit schools from indiscriminately collecting fees in various names, and severely punish school leaders and even leaders in charge of education who collect fees in violation of regulations. Finally, parents should also actively protect their rights and interests, remain vigilant against the school's new fees, and report unreasonable fees to the relevant departments.
After learning about the angry complaints of parents about the chaos of education fees, I deeply felt that the problems in the field of education should not be underestimated. As an editor, I've always been concerned about current education issues, but this is the first time I've heard of parents angrily accusing individual schools of indiscriminate fees. I guess that's just the tip of the iceberg, and in fact, there could be many more similar situations. Whether education is free or not is a national responsibility, and should not be an excuse for parents to be enriched. Education is the hope of cultivating the future, and we must not allow schools to charge indiscriminately to the detriment of parents and children. ** Stricter measures should be taken to regulate the field of education and to ensure that the policy of free compulsory education is effectively enforced. At the same time, parents also need to take active action to be vigilant against the arbitrary charging of fees by schools, and report unreasonable charging behaviors to the relevant departments. Only by working together can we solve the chaos of education fees, make parents less angry and worried, and let children grow up in a fair and just educational environment.
