Recently, night schools have become popular among young people, and some people even organize "night schools". In addition to the traditional night school that teaches personal skills, a community-run night school in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province recently "treated" the parents of the howling baby, which caused heated discussions.
According to reports, the community has launched a free course called the "Smart Parents Academy". In the past three months, the curriculum has ranged from parent-child relationship to husband and wife relationship, from effective communication to coping with emotional out-of-control, from rebellion to school violence, ......This night school for parents has answered the confusion of more than 200 parents.
Family education has always been considered the foundation of all education and is an important part of education. To a certain extent, the attention and participation of parents in such courses shows that parents have realized the importance and professionalism of family education. In the face of a discordant family atmosphere or an unhealthy living situation, they are willing to face up to the existing problems and take the initiative to learn and change them. This is an understanding and respect for children and other family members, and it is also necessary to educate self-reflection and action.
In fact, in recent years, education topics such as "disappointing parents" and "suppressive education" have been discussed from time to time, and even many people have called on parents to "work with certificates", which has broken the reflection and expectations of family education at the social level. With the refinement of the social division of labor and the change of social form, family relations are becoming more complicated, the old family rules are being examined and broken, and the education and relationship mode between parents and children naturally needs to keep pace with the times.

In all fairness, there are probably not many parents who educate their children with the original intention of not wanting to be good parents, but differences in positions and concepts between generations are destined to exist, and the key is how to treat and deal with them scientifically. And how to do it, the opening of the evening school "Parents' Classroom" provides parents with an opportunity to seek scientific help. Through the training of basic knowledge of family education, improve their parenting concepts and scientific skills, recognize their own responsibilities, clarify family roles, master the skills of communicating with children and the way of dealing with problems scientifically.
But it's also important to be aware that there are certain limitations to the "Parent Classroom". Parental education is an education for adults, and changing the thinking habits and behavior of adults is not an easy task in itself. Learning is not the same as doing, and it is not excluded that some parents "have learned a lot of knowledge but still can't do a good job in family education", and how much of the knowledge they receive can be correctly applied still needs to be a question mark. Moreover, family education is individualized education, and the classroom can only provide a public, template method, and it is impossible to propose targeted solutions to each child and family's problems.
The Law on the Promotion of Family Education, which came into force in 2022, mentions that the parents or other guardians of minors are responsible for the implementation of family education. The State and society provide guidance, support and services for family education. It can be seen that family education requires family members to take responsibility, and the state and society need to support and promote the development of family education through policies and mechanisms. From the small aspect of the "parent classroom" set up by community-run night schools, for example, if it can be better adapted to school education, it is a beneficial attempt to strengthen the relationship between home and school and optimize the effectiveness of educationOr starting from the community, not only in the classroom, but also in the classroom, whether a regular consultation or help-seeking mechanism can be established outside the classroom, and so on.
There is no standard answer to the question of family education, but one thing is clear: the formation and cultivation of a healthy parent-child relationship does not happen overnight. The "parent class" of the night school is only an exploration of improving the level of family education at the social level, and not the problem can be easily solved by parents after listening to the class several times, and in the end it still requires the joint efforts of all parties and the long-term success.
