Taking a lunch break after lunch has become an integral part of people's daily lives, and is common at home and at work. However, for elementary and middle school students in non-boarding schools, the lunch break becomes complicated and difficult. Faced with the safety and regulatory concerns of students' lunch breaks, the school has taken a variety of measures to respond, including charging lunch break fees. However, after the Ministry of Education banned lunch break fees, schools had to ask parents to take turns to take care of lunch and lunch breaks, which sparked heated discussions and debates from all walks of life.
Many schools have considered charging students for lunch breaks due to the arrangement of lunch, lunch break care and other services. The school explained that this is a charging policy formulated to cope with the cost of manpower and material resources, as well as the wear and tear of equipment. However, this move has caused widespread controversy in society, and many people believe that it is an unreasonable and arbitrary charging behavior. The disagreement between the school and the education authority led to the Ministry of Education finally issuing a document explicitly prohibiting schools from charging students for lunch breaks.
Many parents and netizens expressed their dissatisfaction with the school's practice of charging for lunch breaks, believing that schools should not be for profit and should assume their responsibilities and obligations to students. However, there are also those who believe that teachers should be private in their off-duty hours, and that teachers should not be required to work overtime to care for students without compensation. The Ministry of Education's regulations have left schools helpless to ask parents for help, resulting in parents having to arrange their own work to supervise students' lunches and lunch breaks.
Through the new policy of banning lunch break fees, parents are beginning to receive notices from schools asking them to solve their own lunch and lunch break care problems. This makes many parents feel anxious, after all, most of them have their own work and various life chores to deal with, and suddenly asking them to take turns to take care of their children's lunch break has undoubtedly added a lot of burden and pressure to them. In the face of this new situation, parents began to speak out on social platforms, expressing their dissatisfaction and concerns about the poor arrangement of the school.
The Ministry of Education's ban has forced schools to seek help from parents to deal with lunch and lunch break care. The school has proposed a variety of solutions to parents, including parent volunteers to help supervise, parents to take turns to supervise, and classes to hire their own parents or external personnel. Most schools tend to have attentive moms on duty to ensure that students are properly cared for and supervised during lunch breaks.
Parents are forced to take on the responsibility of supervising their students' lunches and lunch breaks, making them feel a great responsibility. Many parents complain that schools and teachers are increasingly less concerned and accountable to their students, and are more profit-oriented. Some parents believe that while their children are on lunch break at school, the school should have provided safe and secure guardianship, rather than completely shifting this responsibility to parents. Parents feel sorry for their children's busy study and life, but they can't concentrate on work or rest at ease for lunch and lunch break.
In the context of schools asking parents to solve the problem of lunch breaks on their own, there are clear differences in society. Some support the school's approach, arguing that it is reasonable for schools to stop charging for lunch breaks, that teachers should have time to leave work, and that students should be supervised by parents within the school boundary. Others expressed dissatisfaction with the actions of the school and the Ministry of Education, arguing that it was a shift of responsibility and putting parents in a passive position.
Expanding the community, there began to be a heated discussion around the school's requirement for parents to take turns to supervise lunch and lunch breaks. Some supported the school's decision, arguing that the Ministry of Education's policy was justified and that responsibility for the safety and guardianship of students during school lunch breaks should be borne by parents. They believe that such an arrangement can enhance parents' participation in their children's education and promote the development of family education. However, there are also those who criticize the school's practice as evading responsibility and placing unnecessary burdens on parents by shifting the responsibilities that should be managed by the school to parents.
With the Ministry of Education's strict order, schools are no longer allowed to charge for lunch breaks, and the move to require parents to take turns to supervise lunch and lunch breaks is causing a strong response. While the situation is temporarily under control, the essence of the problem has not yet been fundamentally resolved. Conflicts between schools and parents still exist, and more appropriate solutions need to be sought. It is hoped that the competent authorities can further study and formulate policies to balance the rights and interests of schools, parents and students, and promote the healthy development of education.
In the face of the Ministry of Education's ban on lunch break fees, the school asked parents to take turns on duty to take care of lunch and lunch breaks, and there was fierce controversy and discussion in all walks of life. Looking at this issue from the different perspectives of parents, schools and the Ministry of Education, there is a validity in everyone's position and perspective. However, it should be recognized that the complexity of education and the limited resources of education require concerted efforts to find solutions to promote equity and quality of education. In the face of similar problems, it is necessary to weigh the interests of all parties and find solutions that are more in line with the laws of education and social development, so as to achieve the sustainable development of education.
