Follow me and I will share some interesting stories and experiences on a regular basis to exchange educational experiences together.
In recent years, with the widespread popularity of the Internet and smartphones, parent groups have sprung up on social platforms. The significance of this information exchange platform cannot be underestimated, as it fosters interaction between schools and parents, and has a positive impact on children's learning and growth. However, with the expansion of the scope of the participating parent group, the problems and contradictions in it have become increasingly prominent. Some parents began to show off their wealth in the parent group, compare their economic strength with their children's grades, and even had bad behaviors of infidelity and cheating. This not only disrupts the order of communication within the group, but also brings harm to the family and school.
The original intention of the parent group was to strengthen the connection between the school and parents. Schools can communicate important information in a timely manner through the notification function, while parents can exchange parenting tips with each other in groups. This open communication channel has played a positive role in the connection between home and school and the promotion of education. However, as time went on, some prominent issues emerged within the parent group, which brought confusion to normal communication and collaboration.
On the one hand, some parents gradually lose their sense of education and proportion, and begin to show off their intelligence, economic strength and children's achievements in the parent group. This trend of comparison has led to an atmosphere of flaunting wealth and comparison in the parent group. On the other hand, there are parents who openly question the professional competence of teachers and set an incorrect example for their children. Even more alarming are reports of parents in different cities taking advantage of opportunities to engage in inappropriate relationships among parent groups. This kind of behavior not only violates the moral bottom line of the family, but also seriously interferes with the normal order of the parent group.
The root cause of the chaos in the parent group can be analyzed from several aspects. First of all, the quality education level of some parents is uneven, and they make remarks in the parent group that are incompatible with the group's value orientation, and they flaunt and compare their achievements and wealth. Secondly, the management environment of the parent group is too relaxed, and there is a lack of effective guidance and management. Group administrators and school teachers are struggling to manage groups. Third, some parent groups have begun to operate commercially and are open to the public, thus attracting some outsiders to join, increasing the possibility of conflicts within the group.
Similar problems are not uncommon. In August last year, a scandal broke out in the parent group of middle school B in city A, and a pair of unmarried male and female parents met through the group and began to ** many times. What's even more heart-wrenching is that this man has been promoting his happy family in the group. It wasn't until other parents noticed the clue that he hastily deleted the account and fled. It was a bolt from the blue for his wife. This behavior not only betrays his wife, but also causes harm to his children. Although the school said it would clean up the membership of the parent group and strengthen management, the damage has already been done, and the mother and child are still trying to come out of the shadows.
In response to the recent chaos and moral anomie of parents, many comments have appeared on the Internet. Some netizens believe that if schools and teachers cannot be effectively restrained, the parent group should be disbanded to avoid being messed up by individuals. There are also some netizens who speak out for group leaders and teachers, thinking that they are very difficult and cannot restrict the free communication of parents, but it is easy to cause chaos if they are left alone. There are also some netizens who have a rational attitude, believing that the parent group is an important platform for communication between schools, parents and students, and all its positive effects cannot be denied because of individual chaos.
In order to promote the healthy development of the parent group, I believe that we need to start from the following aspects. First of all, the whole society should strengthen the education of parents and improve the quality of parents themselves. Parents' words and deeds directly affect their children, and they should always maintain a rational attitude and check their words and deeds. Second, schools and teachers should play a key guiding role. At the beginning of the establishment of the parent group, they should clarify the nature of the parent group and formulate corresponding rules and constraints. In the follow-up operation, they should promptly correct the parents' inappropriate remarks and persuade them to understand the true meaning of education. Third, the management mechanism of the parent group should be improved. Schools and parent committees should jointly participate in management, set up reporting channels, and take immediate measures to find illegal speech, and never tolerate it. Fourth, other channels of communication between home and school should be strengthened. Relying only on communication in virtual cyberspace can easily lead to inaccuracies and misunderstandings of information, and regular face-to-face parent meetings and school activities should be promoted to increase mutual understanding and trust.
In short, the parent group, as a tool for home-school communication, has a positive role in itself. However, some problems and contradictions that have arisen also need our attention and resolution. Only when the whole society makes concerted efforts to strengthen the construction of parent education and management mechanisms can we ensure the healthy development of the parent group and provide a good environment for the growth of children.
