The PTA campaign is an activity that many parents are happy to participate in because it can serve as a bridge between parents and the school. However, in a class at a primary school in Shanghai, the head teacher felt at a loss when parents were running for the parent committee. Parents have shown their academic qualifications, occupations and family backgrounds, hoping to attract the attention and recognition of the class teacher in this way. The competition between them is fierce, and some parents even keep boasting about their achievements and contributions in the introduction of the parent association for the purpose of showing off. However, is this competitive environment really in line with the original intention of the Parent Association? Should parents approach the campaign calmly and participate in it with a calm mind? This article will expand on these issues.
In the process of running for the Parent Committee, parents need to introduce themselves and show their qualifications and willingness to participate in the work of the Parent Committee. However, in this class, the parents' self-introductions are becoming more and more exaggerated. Some parents not only introduce their academic qualifications and careers, but also emphasize their achievements and professional skills. Some parents even directly expose their real estate and wealth, hoping to gain advantages by showing their material conditions. To a certain extent, this kind of self-introduction shows the competitive mentality of parents and the importance they attach to class affairs.
However, is this competitive environment really in line with the original intention of the Parent Association? Parent Associations are formed to better serve classes and students, not to showcase individual accomplishments and wealth. Parents should work together to contribute to the development of the class by working together and making progress together. Parents should not only focus on their personal interests and status, but also actively promote the development of class affairs and create a better learning and Xi environment for their children.
The Parent Association is a voluntary organization, and parents join the Parent Association out of concern and support for class affairs. However, in this class, the competitive attitude of parents has had a negative impact on the class atmosphere. Parents are scrambling to show off and boast among themselves, constantly improving their status and prestige. This competitive atmosphere not only stresses down on other parents, but also makes the class teacher feel overwhelmed.
The Parent Association should be an organization that works together to contribute to the development of the class. Parents should work together on a cooperative basis to discuss how class affairs should be handled, rather than focusing too much on their own interests and status. Only in an atmosphere of unity can the PTA fully function and bring more benefits and help to the class.
As a class teacher, choosing the right parent to join the PTA is a decision that requires careful consideration. The class teacher should consider the parents' ability, sense of responsibility and contribution to the affairs of the class. We should not blindly choose those who join the parent committee because of the boasting and competition of parents, but should select parents who are truly capable and willing to contribute to the class affairs according to the actual situation.
The choice of class teacher will determine whether a class can develop healthily and efficiently. The class teacher should take the time to communicate and communicate with parents to understand their needs and wishes, so as to better promote the development of class affairs. At the same time, the class teacher should also do a good job in the corresponding management work, guide the competitive atmosphere of parents to develop in the direction of win-win cooperation, so that the parent committee can really play a role and benefit all students.
The PTA election is an opportunity for parents to show themselves, but in the process of displaying, parents' competitive attitudes and boasting behaviors have a negative impact on the class. The original intention of the Parent Association is to better serve the class and students, and parents should work together to contribute to the development of the class based on cooperation and common progress. The class teacher should carefully consider when selecting people, and select parents who are truly capable and willing to contribute to the class affairs to join the parent committee. At the same time, the class teacher should also do a good job in management and guide the competitive atmosphere of parents to develop in the direction of win-win cooperation. Only in an atmosphere of unity and cooperation can the PTA fully play its role and bring more benefits and help to the class.
