According to reports, a dormitory mattress at a middle school in Tianjin was filled with weeds. This practice has aroused concern and dissatisfaction among students' parents and the public. Parents complained that they paid more than 3,000 yuan, but the child slept on a straw mat!On December 5, a staff member of the Education Bureau of Dongli District, Tianjin said that the mattress was given by the manufacturer when the school purchased the bed, and the more than 3,000 yuan charged was not the cost of the mattress, but the tuition and miscellaneous fees and accommodation fees, and the new mattress has been replaced with a new mattress, and the new mattress has not been charged. At present, the local authorities are investigating the matter.
Some netizens think that there is no problem with filling the dormitory mattress with weeds, and said that they used grass mattresses during school.
However, some netizens said that this practice has health and safety hazards and may affect the health of students. This practice is unacceptable because dormitory mattresses directly affect students' physical health and quality of life. The use of weed-filled mattresses is a hygienic hazard that can easily breed bacteria and insects, posing a potential threat to students' health. In addition, mattress weed filling can also be a safety hazard, and there may be risks such as fire.
As educational institutions, schools should pay attention to the physical health and quality of life of students. Therefore, the "cost-saving" practice of using weed-filled mattresses not only does not benefit students, but also affects the trust and attitude of students and parents towards the school. Schools should strengthen management, improve standards, and ensure the hygiene and safety of students' living environments. At the same time, social oversight forces also need to play a role in severely condemning and supervising similar situations.
