From "compulsory" to "voluntary", change the vest and continue to charge, when will the educational chaos stop?
A member of the parent committee once again posted a message in the parent group, announcing that registration for this semester's extended course has begun, emphasizing that registration is voluntary, but in order to ensure that children do not fall behind, it is recommended that all parents participate in registration. The registration fee for each child is 500 yuan, please pay to the designated account as soon as possible. Just 30 minutes later, the member reminded again that 45 people in the group had already paid the fee, and there were still 13 parents who had not completed the payment, and asked them to handle it as soon as possible. Although it is said that the application is voluntary, is it really possible to choose so freely in reality?You may be able to choose not to pay, but what parent would dare to say no?I believe that all teachers and class teachers are concerned about this matter, and not paying the fee may have a certain impact on the child's Xi, of course, you may not be aware of it. This "voluntary" is often just another form of pressure.
Another example is the issue of school uniform customization, which I personally do not oppose, as long as there is sufficient supervision, providing students with consistent school uniforms is a manifestation of the school's standardized management. However, many local education bureaus have issued documents explicitly prohibiting the mandatory centralized ordering of school uniforms. This makes people wonder, is it possible that each family buys it on its own, resulting in a variety of school uniforms?In fact, on the surface, it seems that there is no centralized customization, but behind it is that the school has reached an agreement with an e-commerce merchant, although parents can choose other merchants, but the style must be unified, and the design of the school logo on the school uniform is not informed, and in the end it can only be purchased from the merchant "recommended" by the school. This approach seems to have changed, but in fact it is just a change of clothing, and the school has reduced its responsibility, but the end result has not changed. Perhaps this is just a ploy by the Education Bureau or the school to shirk its responsibilities.
In addition, there is increasing criticism of education and training institutions in society, and the state is aware of the chaos in education and training institutions. In order to prevent injustice and reduce the burden on families, the relevant state departments have taken severe measures to crack down on these institutions, and even led to the closure of institutions like New Oriental. However, what is puzzling is that some schools are carrying out relevant business training on their own at this time, and various special classes have sprung up. All of these specialty classes are "voluntary", but it is difficult to understand why children in the first grade should learn Xi dance, calligraphy, taekwondo, art, science, thinking, modeling, etcIsn't this a disguised charge?
In addition, various expenses emerge in an endless stream, including material fees, meal expenses, milk expenses, air conditioning fees, sanitation expenses, holiday class fees, etc. Even the dictation book requires parents to purchase additional book covers, as if they want to take care of their children's little dictation books as treasures. Although it is ostensibly compulsory education, in fact, the cost of various tricks far exceeds the tuition fee, isn't this the meaning of changing the soup without changing the medicine, and continuing to charge fees in disguise?
There has been a lot of anti-corruption in the medical sector in the past, but it has been quiet lately, at least in my city. Some people oppose this kind of "campaign" anti-corruption, but in fact there is something to be pointed to. At present, it seems that the overhaul of the medical system is not complete, and it is only a blow to some relatively large tigers, and the flies are not eliminated, and they may eventually evolve into new tigers. The environment has not changed, and there has been no substantial change in the basic system and service awareness, so the effect does not arouse much expectation.
The same is true in the field of education, where policies and regulations are often issued in a moment's time. The lack of accurate problem positioning and practical solutions has made the problem not fundamentally solved. It is regrettable that after a gust of wind has passed, everyone continues on the same path. The fundamental problem of the chaos in the field of education lies in the interference of the concept of interests. If this core issue is not addressed, it will be difficult to effectively address other issues. The teacher is only the communicator, and at most he can only get a small benefit from it, and the decision-maker is the key. If we can limit the power of decision-makers to the system, conscientiously implement social supervision, and make all decision-making open and transparent, I believe that these problems can be effectively solved.
