Recently, a ** in Anjia Central Primary School in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province has sparked extensive discussions. **, a parent complained that in the weather of minus 5, the child had to wait in line after arriving at the school gate, and could not enter the campus immediately. In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the school explained that the school stipulates that students arrive at school at 8 o'clock in the morning, but some parents will send their children in advance, so the teacher brings the students to the classroom in batches, with about 20 students in each batch. Students whose parents are waiting at the door only need to wait for about 1 minute to enter the campus. At the same time, the school also said that it has communicated with parents and is studying optimization options. Starting tomorrow, students will be brought directly into the classroom by the teacher when they arrive at the school, so they do not need to enter the school gate in batches.
A similar situation has occurred in Shanghai, where Ms. Li, a resident, said that the school requires children to wear uniforms to school, and the air conditioning is not turned on in the classrooms, and the children complain that it is too cold when they come home. At Ms. Li's suggestion, the air conditioning in the classroom was finally turned on. Parents have different opinions on whether they should turn on the air conditioner and whether they should wear school uniforms to school. Some parents complained that this was not an isolated case, and that the number of colds in the class was relatively high, and it was understandable that the air conditioner was not turned on to maintain ventilation. Some parents also hope that schools can be more flexible, such as allowing their children to wear their own warm winter clothes. There are also parents who have reported that their children have said that the air conditioner has been turned on. How should we view these issues and opinions?
For the above issues, I personally believe that different factors should be considered comprehensively to make reasonable arrangements and decisions. First of all, regarding the entry of students into school in cold weather, judging by the school's explanation, they are already struggling to cope and find solutions. Schools will adjust the way teachers bring students into school to reduce the amount of time students spend waiting outdoors. This is a positive initiative to reduce the cold sensation of students. At the same time, parents can also communicate with the school, make suggestions or opinions, and work together to find appropriate solutions.
Secondly, the issue of air conditioning in the classroom should be handled flexibly according to the actual situation. Cold weather does require reasonable warmth, but ventilation and air quality in the classroom also need to be taken into account. Different schools and classes may have different situations and needs, so flexible measures should be taken to meet the needs of students. Schools can develop appropriate temperature control plans based on factors such as class size, cooling and heating capacity of air conditioners, and so on. For example, in particularly cold weather, the temperature in the classroom can be moderately raised or appropriate thermal equipment can be considered.
In addition, on the question of whether students should wear school uniforms to school, I personally believe that the pros and cons should be weighed. The school uniform is a symbol of the school, which is conducive to establishing students' sense of discipline and norms, and is also conducive to identifying and managing students. However, in extremely cold weather, a school uniform that is too light may not provide enough warmth. Therefore, in such cases, parents and schools may choose to make some suitable compromises, such as allowing students to wear their own warm winter clothes, or providing special winter uniforms. This not only ensures the management requirements of the school, but also takes care of the physical health and comfort of the students.
To sum up, schools and parents should communicate and cooperate closely to find the best solution for students who need to wait at the door before entering the school and the problem of air conditioning in the classroom. At the same time, it is also necessary to comprehensively consider different factors, including weather conditions, class size, indoor air quality, etc., and make flexible arrangements and decisions according to the actual situation to ensure the physical health of students and the comfort of the learning environment. By working together and understanding, we can provide better learning conditions and safety for our students and create a better environment for them to grow.
