With the deepening and improvement of teaching work, the scope of teachers' work is gradually expanding, not only teaching tasks, but also involving more functions. Teachers who used to focus on education found themselves facing increasingly trivial tasks, juggling classroom instruction and many additional tasks. Recently, a new system has attracted attention in Guizhou, namely the school meal system. This system requires teachers to accompany students to eat in order to improve the standardized management of school meals and the experience of students' meals. The implementation of this system has not only brought a series of new changes to the school, but also sparked extensive discussions in the comment area.
The role of the meal escort system is set up by the school leader, the school teacher, and the parents of the students. School leaders are required to eat with students at least once a week to demonstrate care and closeness to students. This initiative aims to strengthen communication between school leaders and students, bring them closer to each other, and provide a more intimate Xi environment for students. School teachers are also included in the meal accompaniment system, and teachers should be on duty to ensure that teachers accompany each meal. This practice is not only a concrete embodiment of care and responsibility for students, but also helps to standardize students' dining behavior and keep an eye on the status of students. In addition, parents of students also come to the school every day by invitation to accompany the school to accompany the meal, which promotes a closer cooperation between the school and the family. This arrangement not only gives parents more peace of mind, but also gives them a better understanding of the school's food safety measures, ensuring that their children can enjoy safe and secure meals while eating at school.
However, the stipulation in this meal escort system has aroused widespread concern, that is, all meal escorts are self-paid to accompany meals, and they have the same meal and the same price as students. This regulation means that the school no longer has a separate special meal for the meal companions, ensuring the fair collection of meal fees. This provision sparked a heated discussion in the comment section. Some teachers believe that although the meal system solves the worries of parents, should the dignity and rights of teachers also be taken into account?Some young female teachers said that their lunch break is now also occupied by the task of accompanying meals, and they also need to pay out of their own pockets to accompany students to eat. This made them feel uncomfortable and raised questions about it.
For teachers, the importance of lunch breaks cannot be overlooked. In addition to the intense teaching work, the lunch break has become a valuable 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 carry out various 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 break allows them to relieve stress and clear their minds in a short period of time to prepare for the next class.
In addition, the lunch break is also an important time for teachers to take care of some of the rest of the teaching tasks. 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.
At the same time, the lunch break is also a 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.
From the teacher's point of view, the meal accompaniment system has affected their rights and rest time to some extent. While the meal companion system can help to improve the dining experience of students and enhance the cooperative relationship between schools and parents, the needs and interests of teachers should also be fully taken into account.
First of all, the meal companion system can balance the teacher's lunch break time and meal companionship through flexible arrangements and adequate communication. A shift system can be set up so that teachers can be reasonably balanced between meal companionship and lunch breaks. At the same time, other ways can also be explored, such as increasing teachers' lunch breaks or providing other forms of rest and relaxation.
Secondly, more solutions can be sought for the problem of self-paid meal accompaniment. Consideration can be given to providing certain subsidies or reimbursements by the school to reduce the financial pressure on teachers. It is also possible to negotiate with the school catering department to provide some meal options that are suitable for teachers to meet their taste needs and nutritional needs.
Finally, the implementation of the meal accompaniment system should focus on the teacher's participation and right to speak. Teachers should be fully listened to to their opinions and suggestions to ensure the fairness and feasibility of the system. Through close collaboration and communication with teachers, a better balance can be found that meets the needs of students and parents, while taking into account teachers' rights and breaks.
To sum up, with the development and change of teaching work, the scope of the teacher's work seems to be gradually expanding. As a part of this, the meal escort system has played a certain role in improving the school catering management and student dining experience. However, when implementing the meal companion system, the needs and rights of teachers should also be fully considered to ensure their rest time and work motivation. Only in this way can we better promote the development of education and create a good environment for learning and Xi.
