With the development of education, the scope of a teacher's work has gradually expanded, and it is not limited to imparting knowledge, but also needs to take on more functions. However, some teachers are confused and ambivalent about this. Education has always been the vocation of teachers, who love and focus on teaching. However, in reality, we often encounter some trivial management tasks, such as assessment and punching in. In addition to this, teachers also need to communicate with parents, pay attention to students' performance, etc. Recently, a new system in Guizhou has attracted widespread attention, namely the school meal system. This system requires teachers to accompany students to eat together, and aims to promote the standardized management of school meals and improve the dining experience of students.
For teachers, facing such a new task does bring some confusion. Some young female teachers said that the lunch break was supposed to be a time for them to relax, but now it is being taken up. Moreover, they also need to pay for the meals with the students out of their own pockets, rather than having the freedom to choose themselves. This change made them feel a little unaccustomed. Lunch breaks are crucial for teachers, not only to help them rejuvenate and recharge, but also to provide a valuable opportunity to take care of some teaching matters. If the lunch break is occupied by the task of accompanying meals, teachers may lose the opportunity to adjust their status, which will directly affect the effectiveness of afternoon teaching. In addition, the lunch break is also very important for teachers to deal with teaching tasks and personal matters.
The purpose of the school meal companion system is to standardize the management of school catering and improve the dining experience of students. Guizhou's meal escort system stipulates five roles: school leaders, school teachers, and students' parents. School leaders are required to eat with students at least once a week to demonstrate care and closeness to students and to strengthen communication between school leaders and students. School teachers are also included in the meal accompaniment system to ensure that teachers accompany each meal, paying attention to students' meal behavior and status. Parents of students come to the school every day by invitation to accompany the school to accompany the meals, which promotes a closer cooperation between the school and the family.
However, there is a controversial provision in this system, that is, the meal escort needs to accompany the meal at his own expense, and enjoy the same meal and the same ** as the student. This provision guarantees the fair collection of meal fees and prohibits teachers from collectively appropriating students' meal funds. Although this regulation has played a positive role in solving parents' worries, it has also caused some teachers to question their own dignity and the protection of their rights and interests during lunch breaks.
Lunch breaks are extremely important for teachers. In the busy teaching work, the lunch break has become a precious time for teachers to adjust their state and recuperate. This time not only helps them to better engage in the afternoon teaching, but also provides them with valuable opportunities to deal with teaching tasks and personal matters. The presence of a lunch break allows teachers to take a short break from the busy classroom and relax. This time allows them to relieve stress in a short period of time, clear their minds, and prepare for the next class. If the lunch break is occupied by the task of accompanying meals, teachers may lose this important opportunity to adjust their status, which will directly affect the effectiveness of afternoon teaching.
At the same time, the lunch break is also an important time for teachers to deal with teaching tasks and personal matters. They may need to prepare tomorrow's lesson plans, mark assignments, update lesson content, etc. During this time, teachers can have more autonomy and focus more on other aspects of teaching, increasing their efficiency and ensuring the high quality of classroom instruction. The lunch break is also a valuable time for teachers to start their personal affairs and enrich themselves. This short break can be used to relax, exercise, read, or pursue other personal hobbies. This degree of freedom in self-management of time helps to maintain the teacher's motivation and balance in life.
To a certain extent, the implementation of the school meal system has strengthened the connection between the school and the students' families, and improved the management level of school catering. At the same time, however, due diligence needs to be taken to safeguard the rights and dignity of teachers and to respect their right to personal time and rest. Teachers, as professional educators, should be able to have a certain degree of autonomy and choice, including the use of lunch breaks and the choice of meal methods. The characteristics and needs of teachers' work should be fully taken into account to ensure that they are able to fully rest and regain their energy within reasonable working hours.
In addition, when formulating the meal escort system, the interests and needs of all parties should be comprehensively considered and consensus should be sought. Through communication and discussion with teachers, listening to their opinions and suggestions, and fully considering their voices when formulating specific policies, we can ensure that teachers' rights and interests are protected.
To sum up, the implementation of the school meal system has both positive and controversial aspects. When implementing the meal accompaniment system, the work characteristics and needs of teachers should be fully considered, and their personal time and rest rights should be respected. At the same time, when formulating specific policies, we should fully communicate and consult with teachers, seek consensus from all sides, and ensure that teachers' rights and interests are protected.
