Preamble:
Family education has always been a hot issue of concern, and the communication between parents and teachers is an important part of it. With the development of social media, classroom WeChat groups have gradually become an important channel for teachers and students to communicate. However, there are also individual groups of students who are "competitive" and "showy" in their English skills, which makes it difficult for teachers and other parents to cope. This paper discusses the current situation, analyzes the understanding of the parent group from the perspective of family education, and puts forward the view that parents and teachers should communicate on an equal footing.
Pros and Cons of Parent Groups.
The emergence of parents' WeChat groups has facilitated the communication between parents and teachers and saved a lot of time. Parents can receive the notice from the school as soon as possible, saving the cumbersome communication between classmates, and it is easier to ask questions and answers. However, because there are many parents, and they have different personalities, it is inevitable that there will be "conspicuous bags" that are used as a platform to show off. This practice not only puzzles many parents, but some parents even withdraw directly from their parents' circle and do not want to be disturbed.
Expansion: The establishment of the parent group has indeed brought great convenience to the family parent-child communication. In the past, parents and teachers had limited means of communication, either through one by one** or passed on by the children back home. Moreover, parents often encounter some troubles when communicating with teachers, for example, teachers can't often answer ** in class, and calling ** at night will affect teachers' sleep. So, most of the time, parents will choose to swallow their anger. However, the emergence of the class WeChat group provides a good platform for communication between teachers and students. Students can ask questions within the class at any time, and teachers can answer them at any time, or at the right time if they can't. In the parent group, there are more parents with different personalities, different backgrounds, and different educational philosophies, so whether they are talking about academic things, or talking about their children's academic and life things, their ideas are different. In addition, the emergence of classroom groups also breaks through the limitations of time and space, making communication and interaction possible.
However, the emergence of the parent group was not so smooth. In some classes, some parents like to use the "Parent WeChat Group" to show themselves as a platform for themselves to show themselves. Not only do they behave incomprehensibly in the group, but they also show excessive levels of English. The practice of frantically brushing English not only embarrasses other parents, but also invisibly causes a huge negative impact on the parent group, and there is a danger of causing other parents to leave the group. This situation is a huge challenge for all teachers.
Formation and election procedures of the Parent Committee.
Many schools have established parent committees to help teachers and students communicate. However, the formation of a parent committee is not an easy task, and it also includes the election and consultation of parents. Some parents will post their resumes and personal profiles similar to articles in the class group when they elect the parent committee. And, at the beginning of the election phase, they tend to draw attention with a compelling opening statement. Parents are here to increase their chances of running and to show how good they are. This particular method of parental election has sparked a series of repercussions in the group.
Outreach: The election activities of the Parent Committee are as fair and transparent as possible, and all parents are also working hard. A student's parents introduced themselves in the WeChat group of their classmates, as if it was a small article, letting everyone know how good they are. At that time, the atmosphere in the WeChat group was very good, and all the parents were praising this parent. This not only made the election of the school board more interesting, but also left a good impression on his parents and added a competitive position to his candidacy. However, there is no shortage of debate about such a method of competition. Some parents wonder if the candidacy of the school manager has anything to do with his resumeThe Board of Education should be better able to provide more services to students, rather than judging the individual qualities of students. Therefore, such an election method is not acceptable to all parents.
Heroic embroidery in the group of parents.
Among the parents in the class, some parents often express their gratitude in English in order to show their gratitude. They may find English more elegant and more appealing to the eye. However, this statement is not recognized by the students in the classroom. As a Chinese, his gratitude is already very good in Chinese. Speaking English may be just a means of demonstrating English proficiency and has nothing to do with the real problem. This kind of behavior has added a lot of trouble and embarrassment to the students.
*Parent-group and home-school exchanges.
As one of the main ways of communication between teachers and students, the function and value of the parent group should be fully cared for. However, parents should communicate more fairly with teachers. Teachers and parents are committed to the health and development of their children, and both parties should respect and understand each other and talk on an equal footing. Don't overdo superficial communication and sycophancy, but communicate in a sincere and direct way. Teachers have so much to do every day that it's impossible to keep an eye on the class all the time. If parents want to behave and don't respond, there's a good chance they'll encourage their children to do so. Therefore, teachers should be good at dealing with this situation.
The importance of parenting and family education.
Parents are the teachers of children, and family education is an important part of children's healthy development. Therefore, parents should always pay attention to their words and deeds and set a good example for their children. Whether you know English, or any other skill, doesn't have to be demonstrated in class. It also allows parents to pay attention to their children's family education, care about their children's academic and development, and establish good communication and cooperation with teachers. Finally, parents and teachers should work hand in hand to create an atmosphere that is developmentally appropriate for children.
