At present, parents are faced with a dilemma: either they take care of their children at home, they cannot earn more money and give their children a better educational environment;Either you go to work to make money and realize your own value, you are destined to neglect your company and miss the growth of your children. Especially in the autumn and winter, many children have symptoms of headaches and brain fever. In the past, even a minor illness would not delay a child's schooling. Today, however, the situation is different. As soon as there is the slightest symptom, the child's teachers will immediately call the parents and ask them to pick up the child and let them rest. It is understandable that the teacher does this, on the one hand, to prevent the condition from worsening and to avoid the teacher from taking responsibility;On the other hand, it is also to avoid infecting other students. However, this situation is very unfriendly for dual-income families.
Recently, in Beijing, a parent noticed that her child's temperature was a little high, but it was not serious and there were no other symptoms, and sent her child to kindergarten as usual. However, upon arrival at the school gate, the teacher asked the student to have their temperature taken before they could enter the school gate. After discovering that the student's body temperature was abnormal, the teacher questioned the parents why they still let the sick child go to school. The parents admitted that they still had to go to work, and the child's illness was not serious, so they bothered the teacher to take care of it. Although the teacher wanted to refuse, the parent walked straight inside. After the day, the teacher did not call the parents, and it was not until the evening when the child was picked up from school that he found that the child's body temperature had been normal, and there seemed to be no symptoms. Parents are glad that they didn't take leave today, otherwise they would have been deducted from their wages again. On the way home, the parents asked the children how they spent the day, and the children's answers made the parents a little embarrassed. It turned out that the teacher did not let the student with a fever go to class normally, but let him stay alone in the dean's office for a day, and the dean took care of him personally. The child could neither go out to class nor play with other children, so he read and slept in the dean's office. After a good night's sleep, the child's body is mostly recovered. After all, the teacher is not sure if the student's condition is serious, so he needs special attention and is worried about affecting other students. Parents don't have time to take time off work to take care of their children, so they can only do this. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, the kindergarten will be held accountable. The parent was filled with gratitude to the dean and teachers. If it weren't for them reaching out and being known to other parents, it would inevitably cause trouble.
On the question of whether the sick students go to school, the official gave a response. Parents in the comment section have a variety of different opinions. Many people reprimanded the parent for being irresponsible, thinking that the child was sent to school when he was sick, and it was in a place so young at the age of kindergarten, what if the condition was serious?Kindergarten does not require Xi, so why is it more important than the health of the child?Is earning money more important than your child's health?However, some parents countered that the kindergarten was originally a nursery and should assume the responsibility of care. If the condition is not serious, why can't you go to school?Not all parents are in a position to take care of their children full-time, not to mention the nature of their work that prevents them from taking frequent leave. For example, parents of doctors, teachers, police officers and other professions are not allowed to leave their posts without permission during special periods. Asking for leave is a small thing for a child, but for a parent, it's a big deal. Does it mean that parents take time off from work to take care of their children?Some time ago, during online classes, many very young children were forced to take home classes on their own because their parents were on the front line and could not go home. They take care of other people's children, so who will take care of their children?
The official response to this is that during the special period, many kindergartens, primary and secondary schools have seen a large number of students taking sick leave, and some of them are still sick, which is related to cross-infection. The relevant departments call on students and teachers not to go to school with illness, but to rest well at home and return to school after being completely **. During sick leave, schools also can't ask students to do homework to reduce the pressure on students.
However, while it's easy to say that, it's difficult to actually do it. For dual-income families, who will take care of their children when they are sick and take leave?What about the student who is sick and asks for leave, but who is not yet sick?Who wants to go to school sick if they are not forced to do so?Parents also feel distressed, but helpless. What should parents do if they don't have time to take care of their children?
The teachers at this kindergarten in Beijing handled the problem well, which not only solved the embarrassing situation of parents not being able to take care of their children, but also effectively protected other students from infection. Parents are naturally grateful for the students' good rest after a day in the dean's office. However, some parents are not satisfied with this practice, believing that their children are isolated in the office and cannot interact with other children, which affects their children's growth and social skills. They want schools to provide better solutions, such as increasing the number of sick care staff, or providing sick care centers so that sick children can be better cared for and cared for.
In addition, some parents reported that in such a situation, it is usually the mother who takes leave to take care of the child, while the father can continue to work. This has once again exposed the discrimination faced by women in the workplace. In many households, fathers are still the main breadwinner, with higher positions and higher salaries, while mothers tend to work flexibly and earn relatively low incomes. When a child is sick and needs to take time off, it is usually the mother who takes time off to take care of the child due to the father's influence and status in the workplace. This phenomenon is considered to be a deprivation of women's rights in the workplace, thus affecting women's career development and economic status. The responsibilities and burdens of the family should be shared equally, and women should not be placed under more pressure.
In general, there are certain risks associated with sending sick children to kindergarten, which may affect the child's own health and may also spread to other students. But for dual-income families, the choice between childcare and work is also a challenge. and schools should provide better solutions to provide better help and support to these families. At the same time, we should pay attention to the problems faced by women in the workplace and take measures to solve them. Only in this way can we achieve a balance between family and work and provide a better environment for children to grow up.
