Recently, a school in Jilin Province issued a winter vacation homework to students caused controversy. This batch of homework is not only large in quantity and high in unit price, but also the front and back covers of the homework book have been torn off, which makes parents very angry. This article first analyzes the history of this incident, points out the strangeness of the incident, and looks forward to the impact of the incident in combination with the comments of netizens. At the end of the article, several suggestions are summarized, calling on schools and education departments to strengthen regulation and supervision to ensure students' learning rights.
1. The large number of winter vacation homework and the high unit price are unacceptable
A school in Jilin requires parents to buy 13 winter vacation workbooks for their children, each of which is up to 50 yuan and a set of 650 yuan. At the same time, the workbooks were very small in content and the quality of the printing was mediocre. This move caused strong dissatisfaction among parents, who felt that the school was using its power for personal gain.
Parents said that ** is obviously on the high side, and the quality is also problematic. When I was a child, the workbooks I gave out were all free, but now it has become like this, which is unacceptable. Some experts pointed out that the amount of homework for primary and secondary school students is already large, and the winter vacation is a good time to rest and recuperate, and there should not be too much homework. Therefore, such a large amount of homework is not conducive to students' physical and mental health.
Second, tearing off the cover of the workbook is too contrived
What surprised the parents even more was that the front and back covers of the homework book sent by the teacher were all torn up. In this way, not only can you not tell which publisher it is, but it is also impossible to verify whether it is genuine or not. This kind of trickery is very annoying to the parents. According to the analysis of netizens, the reason why the school took great pains to tear off the cover is most likely to conceal the real price of the homework book. If the parents of the students check and find that the actual ** of the homework book is only 6 yuan, it will be very embarrassing for the school.
Other experts pointed out that this practice of deceiving parents is completely unnecessary. Reasonable homework arrangement can increase students' interest in learning, and if homework is not selected properly, it will be counterproductive. Therefore, it is necessary for schools to be open and transparent to parents.
3. The controversy has a negative impact on both students and parents
This incident not only made the person directly concerned feel uncomfortable, but also had a negative impact on other parents and students. Some netizens said: "Our local schools have also become cautious when they see this kind of news, for fear of causing misunderstanding among parents." As a result, good teaching resources are not easy to use. This is not conducive to the diversity of students' learning. Some netizens said: "Parents want their children to have a relaxed and happy holiday."
After the incident ferments, the relationship between parents and children may be affected, and it is believed that the school is making things difficult for parents. This is also not good for the teaching atmosphere for the next semester. Another netizen said: "As a teacher myself, it is always uncomfortable to see this kind of news." Our original intention was for the good of the students, but it is a pity that we were misunderstood due to the imperfection of the system. ”
Fourth, improve supervision and strengthen communication between home and school
To sum up, the negative impact of this incident is obvious. So how do you prevent such a problem from happening again?The author believes that the following levels can be started: the education department should formulate relevant regulations for school winter and summer vacation homework, and limit the number and reasonable range of **. And strengthen inspection and supervision to avoid the occurrence of arbitrary fees for learning materials.
When arranging homework during the winter vacation, schools should seek the opinions of parents and teaching and research staff in advance and do what they can. The selection and distribution of assignments is open and transparent and subject to supervision.
