A laughable incident occurred in a kindergarten in Xiantao, Hubei Province: a grandfather went to the kindergarten to pick up his granddaughter, but picked up the wrong student. The grandfather received the task during a nap, went to the kindergarten in a daze, and pulled a student home. It wasn't until after the student was sent home that Grandpa realized he had picked up the wrong person. The student cried incessantly along the way, probably thinking that he had been captured by the bad guys and was scared. For kindergartens and teachers, this situation is also frightening. The responsibility of the kindergarten is very heavy, and once the student is really lost, the consequences are unimaginable. Fortunately, this time it was just an "oolong", which gave people a warning.
The grandfather picked up the wrong child that day because he didn't recognize the student in front of him and picked up the crying child, which was also puzzling. Of course, this is also a lesson, not only for the grandfather personally, but also for the kindergarten to expose some potential problems. Kindergartens should set up a process for picking up children, requiring parents to inform the pick-up and drop-off person in advance and provide a description of the characteristics, and also strengthen the identification of students. If you pick up the wrong child, it is not only a problem of the person who picks up the child, but also a problem of kindergarten management. Because if someone really picks up the students with ulterior motives, the consequences will be unimaginable, which the kindergarten and the teacher "can't afford".
Kindergarten exists to help parents solve the problem of bringing babies and let students adapt to school life in advance. However, the young age of kindergarten students and their limited cognitive abilities have caused parents to be worried. In addition to worrying about the kindergarten teacher using violence against students or being bullied by classmates, parents also have to worry about their children being picked up by mistake or lost. This grandfather incident who picked up the wrong child can be said to be an exception, but it also reminds many people of the attention and importance of kindergarten.
The work of the kindergarten requires not only the education and care of students, but also the management of student pick-up and drop-off. However, kindergarten teachers are generally underpaid, and many people believe that the industry struggles to retain good teachers. Kindergartens have low salaries, but high job requirements and responsibilities, and need to be a "collective" of nannies, security guards and teachers. In such a situation, how can the kindergarten teachers persevere?
As we all know, the salary level of kindergarten teachers is generally relatively low, about two or three thousand per month. However, parents' requirements for kindergarten teachers are increasing, and many parents put all the responsibility on kindergarten teachers, criticizing kindergarten teachers for being "irresponsible" for everything. In this case, the kindergarten teachers felt helpless. Kindergarten teachers need to deal with safety issues, but the solution of safety problems needs to be maintained by many parties, and kindergarten teachers cannot be entrusted with one person. However, the level of salary of kindergarten teachers does not match their responsibilities and requirements, which is difficult to satisfy.
Picking up and dropping off students is a seemingly simple task, but it's more difficult than you think. For many parents, picking up and dropping off students is a responsibility that cannot be shirked, whether it is kindergarten or elementary school, parents will make picking up their children a priority. Even in the busy work, parents will always pay attention to the time to pick up their children, no matter when and where, as long as the time to pick up their children is up, parents will immediately rush to pick up their children.
In the Tohoku region, parents generally attach importance to picking up and dropping off students, and even in high school, parents still insist on picking up and dropping off their children. For them, whether it is kindergarten or elementary school, picking up children is a responsibility that must not be shirked. Despite the difficulties that sometimes arise, such as being notified to pick up their children while playing mahjong, parents still choose to leave immediately, making picking up their children the most important thing.
It is worth mentioning that in some areas, the responsibility of picking up and dropping off students is not as important as in the Northeast. In some places in the South, pick-up and drop-off is a daily necessity during kindergarten, but once a student is in elementary school, many families stop picking up and dropping off as long as the student is familiar with the road. This also reflects the different concepts and importance of parents in different regions for picking up and dropping off students.
Through this incident of the grandfather picking up the wrong child, we can not only feel the concern and worry of parents for their children, but also see the difficulties faced by kindergartens and kindergarten teachers. Parents have higher and higher requirements for kindergartens, but the salaries and benefits of kindergarten teachers have not been improved accordingly. In addition, the seemingly simple task of picking up and dropping off students is actually a problem that bothers parents. Whether it is the phenomenon of grandpa picking up the wrong person, or the plight of kindergarten teachers, we should pay attention to and pay attention to it. It is only when parents and teachers work together that the safety and quality of education can be guaranteed.
