"I give the baby ** fee, why do I want to buy high-end fruits for the parent committee", the parents of primary school students were angry
Parent committees and student councils in elementary and high schools were originally made up of capable and dedicated people who were meant to facilitate the community. Today, however, these organizations are gradually "turning sour".
From the point of view of ordinary students and parents, these people are already of high quality if they are not "powerful", especially in primary school. However, some seemingly trivial things often make parents unhappy.
A parent of an elementary school student posted that she had angrily reprimanded the behavior of the parent committee in the class group because of her impulsiveness, and now she is a little worried that the class teacher will have a bad impression of her.
The city where this parent lives is relatively small, and most ordinary families do not have a high monthly income. My daughter's elementary school is one of the best schools in the area. However, I didn't expect that after going to school, the phenomenon of "involution" became more and more serious.
The "involution" here does not refer to the competition in learning, but to the daily affairs. Because of its reputation, the school often organizes other small activities in addition to the basic subject courses. The class teacher asks the students to "get ahead of the curve" and strive to excel in all aspects.
Rehearsing and preparing for these events naturally takes a lot of effort and often requires the purchase of items that can only be used once. Parents have the impression that they often have to pay some fees. While these costs are understandable, it's puzzling where the class fees go.
Each student pays 100 yuan for the class, and it stands to reason that the public supplies of the class should be able to be used for a long time, so why do you need to pay the fee again soon?Seeing the scene of the meeting of the parent committee, parents could not suppress the anger that had accumulated for a long time.
The parent found that every time the parent committee got together to "study affairs", it was either in an elegant dining room or in a place full of fresh fruits and snacks that looked like they were not low.
The members of the parent committee took some ** pictures during the meeting, and the parent saw that there were a lot of "Sunshine Rose" grapes on the table. It seems that everyone can take home a string of more than enough.
Although the banana next to it is a very common fruit, it is a good quality variety and is undoubtedly more expensive than ordinary bananas. In addition, there are some small snacks with Japanese characters printed on the packaging, she can't remember the specific brand, but she has seen it in the supermarket, a small box costs more than 15 yuan, and there are only a few small chocolates in it.
One parent questioned, "Why do I use it to buy high-end fruit for the PTA when I paid the class fee?"Are your meetings the same as the treatment of civil servants?After sitting for two hours, you can't even eat ordinary fruits and snacks?”
However, the members of the Parent Committee responded with an "official" tone, saying that they sacrificed their rest time to concentrate on how to provide better services to the collective, and then sat down at the meeting. They tried to reassure everyone that this little luxury was nothing, after all, it was for everyone's good. However, for parents, such a response is not convincing: "If it's so hard, why don't you just quit?"”
Another member of the team showed a sense of responsibility, emphasizing that no matter how hard they worked, they could not live up to the expectations of teachers and students. Parents are more serious about this: "Since you are so wronged, it is better not to run for membership in the parent committee." ”
In the debate, some members of the PTA seem to have become "good hands", showing their status in an invisible way, acting as if others are making trouble.
Previously, some netizens had also complained about the abuse of class fees by the parent committee during the meeting and used it to buy personal belongings. Perhaps, to varying degrees, many classes have such problems.
In fact, most parents will not have any objection to buying some simple, low-cost food. The most dissatisfying thing is that some members of the parent committee spend their class fees "lavishly", and they also put on a high-end status. It's just a parent committee, why should you treat yourself as a **?
These PTA members may be aware that this use of class fees is unfair to other parents. However, there are always some people who enjoy the "little power" that comes with this special function excessively, while other parents can only watch helplessly and dare not openly oppose it.
In primary and secondary schools, the role of PTAs is extensive, and their performance varies according to the style of different class teachers. Parent-teacher committees play an important role in school-home cooperation. As the saying goes, talent grows.
Some PTA members are dedicated and spend their spare time conducting in-depth investigations in schools and surrounding areas to provide practical and wise advice. They even found problems with some of the catering businesses that the school cooperated.
However, some PTAs focus their work on dealing with teachers, and there is a significant contrast between their attitudes towards teachers and parents in general. Whether the PTA abuses the class fee and coerces or induces other parents is largely related to the attitude of the class teacher.
Honest and impartial teachers, as well as teachers who focus on teaching, are generally not interested in relationships. They will not easily delegate the management of class affairs because of the flattery of the PTA members.
In contrast, teachers who tend to decide their attitudes based on their students' family background and the value of gifts are more likely to communicate with PTAs"Sympathy"。There are even some classes that let parents share the cost of classroom decoration through the name of the parent committee, which is not the most excessive.
