In the past, parents could only find out how their children were doing at school by calling the teacher or going to the school to meet the teacher in person, but one or two parent-teacher meetings per term were far from enough to satisfy their concern for their children.
With the changing times, it is now more convenient for parents to communicate with teachers. Almost all teachers and parents use WeChat, and parent groups have been established in the classroom. Even some small problems can be solved directly in the group, without having to communicate privately.
The parent group is not only a channel to understand the dynamics of students, but also a powerful tool for teachers. By notifying all parents in the group, teachers don't have to worry about messaging errors.
However, because the parent group covers the parents of the entire class, the differences in various personalities and communication styles make some small episodes occasionally appear in the group, some of which make people laugh, and some of which make people "social death".
In the parent group, problems are frequent, and some groups have become a burden for teachers. The original intention of creating a parent group was to allow teachers to communicate school notices to parents in a timely manner, and at the same time to keep parents informed of the various developments of students and the school.
At the beginning, parents were willing to share their educational experience in the group, which was a good intention. But gradually, there were many problems with the parent group, which turned it from a tool to a burden for teachers.
Younger students have weak self-care skills, and parents have more to worry about. They may be embarrassed to bring it up directly to the teacher when they don't have a parent group, but with a group chat, it's even more convenient to send messages. However, some parents treat teachers as nannies and make all kinds of demands.
For example, one parent asks the teacher to change the child's clothes, another asks for a seat, and another asks the teacher to give the child calcium tablets.
If every parent asks for this, the teacher will be overwhelmed by these chores. This kind of atmosphere has caused the parent group to deviate from its original intention and become a place for teachers to cause trouble.
Therefore, parents should pay attention to the tone of voice when communicating with teachers. Even if you need to ask the teacher for help, you need to pay attention to the wording. In the class group, the words and actions of parents can also affect the students.
In the parent group, a "mistaken" message caused a misunderstanding, and the teacher fell into an embarrassing situation of silence, just like a "social death" scene in real life.
Everyone inevitably makes a mistake when typing text, and if it's chatting with an acquaintance, it usually doesn't attract much attention. However, if there is a mistake in the parent group, it may cause a series of misunderstandings, and it is often irreparable when it is perceived, like an inevitable "social death".
A teacher urged students who were late for exams in the group, but unexpectedly learned that the parents of the students said that they had "lost their babies" on the way to send their children. At first, the teacher was angry that the student was late, but after seeing the parent's reply, the teacher immediately showed tolerance and advised the parent to go to the hospital first.
Other parents were also shocked by the news, thinking that the parent was pregnant with a second child, but there was an accident on the road. However, the actual situation is that a word was omitted by mistake, which caused other parents to misunderstand. When the truth was revealed, everyone fell into a situation of crying and laughing, glad that it was just a false alarm in the end.
The embarrassment doesn't end there. At least what the parents said in the group was a serious matter, in contrast, this parent was in the parent group because of his own life style problems. Other parents couldn't help but feel embarrassed for him when they saw it.
Although he wanted to withdraw the message, it was already too late. The teacher also chose to be angry and did not dare to speak, so he could only pretend not to see the situation.
The parent has since been in the limelight in the group, and his scandal may even have an impact on the student's social situation at school. Don't make the mistake of thinking that elementary school students don't know anything about these things.
In class groups, many parents tend to be quite casual in their speech, and even if parents may not be impressed by the outside world's perception, they should also consider how other parents and students will feel about their children.
Therefore, it is important to be cautious when posting class group news, and do not misunderstand due to typos, let alone send the wrong group. At the same time, when communicating with other parents and teachers, it is essential to pay attention to wording and attitude and avoid impulsive behavior.
Class clusters are just a bridge for information transmission, and both teachers and parents should use them correctly. Nowadays, the atmosphere of many class groups has deviated from its original intention, some have become boastful groups, and some have evolved into places of comparison. There are even groups that are used by teachers as a tool to make money, resulting in parents having to shop in the group to make a good impression.
In order to create a positive and healthy class atmosphere, teachers and parents need to work together. Class groups should be returned to their essence as a communication tool for teachers and parents to solve problems, rather than a place to create burden.
Teachers should not assign tasks to parents in class groups, nor should they be self-interested. Parents should not always try to show off or compare themselves in the group, respond positively when there is something, and should not post too many irrelevant remarks in the class group when there is nothing to do.
