With the popularization of the Internet and smartphones, the parent group has become an important platform for home-school communication. It is intended to strengthen the connection between the school and parents and promote children's learning and life. However, with the expansion of the group, some problems and contradictions have arisen in the parent group. Some parents began to show off their wealth in the group, compare, and even have bad behaviors such as disloyalty and cheating. These actions disrupt the order within the group and cause harm to families and schools. This paper will analyze the causes of the problems of the parent group and put forward suggestions to solve these problems.
The parent group was originally established to strengthen the connection between home and school, and to achieve information exchange and exchange of opinions. Schools can notify parents of important matters in a timely manner through the ** function, and parents can also share parenting experiences in groups. This kind of communication channel has promoted the connection between home and school, and has played a positive role in the cause of education.
However, as the number of participants in the parent group increased, some issues began to come to the fore. Some parents began to show off their wealth in the group, compare their economic strength with their children's grades, and some even openly abused teachers. These behaviors deviate from the original intention of the parent group and have a negative impact on the relationship between children and home and school.
In addition, it has been reported that some parents have used parent groups to engage in inappropriate behavior, such as adultery and sexual encounters. These behaviors seriously interfere with the normal order of the group and pose a threat to the basic ethics of the family and the educational structure of the school.
In order to maintain the normal operation of the parent group and solve the existing problems, it is necessary to analyze the root causes and propose corresponding solutions.
The root cause of the chaos of the parent group can be analyzed from three aspects: uneven quality of parents, poor management, and commercial operation.
First of all, the quality and education level of some parents are uneven. They make remarks within the group that are incompatible with the group's values, such as showing off and making comparisons. These parents regard cyberspace as a continuum of the real-name system, and make remarks at will, leading to chaos within the group.
Second, the overly lax management environment of the parent base also contributes to this phenomenon. Group administrators and school teachers should play a stronger guiding role, but they are not able to manage them. The lack of effective management measures and guidance has led to the spread of chaos among parents.
Third, the commercial operation of some parent groups has also exacerbated the development of the problem. The group, which was originally only for parents in the school, has now attracted outsiders to join. This virtually increases the possibility of intra-group contradictions, making the problem even more serious.
Similar cases are not uncommon. For example, last year, the parent group of City B Middle School broke out a scandal of a pair of unmarried male and female parents who met through the group. The married man also exaggerated the happiness of his family in the group. It was a shocking blow to his wife. Such cases seriously interfere with the normal order of the group, causing harm and chaos.
First of all, the whole society should strengthen parental education and improve the quality of parents themselves. Parents are their children's first teachers, and their actions and words directly affect their children. Parents should always maintain a rational attitude and check their words and deeds. Only when the quality of parents themselves improves, can the parent group get back on track.
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 and positioning of the group, and formulate corresponding rules and constraints. In the follow-up operation, we will promptly correct parents' inappropriate remarks and persuade them to understand the true meaning of education.
Third, improve the management mechanism of parent groups. The school and the parent committee should jointly participate in the management, set up reporting channels, and take timely measures against illegal speech. We will not tolerate the existence of chaos.
Fourth, strengthen other channels of communication between home and school. Virtual cyberspace is just a way to communicate, not a substitute for offline communication and interaction. Schools should organize offline communication activities for parents to enhance mutual understanding and trust, which will help reduce misunderstandings in the online virtual space.
In the process of solving the problem of the parent group, parents and schools need to assume their own responsibilities and jointly promote the healthy development of the parent group.
Some people believe that the emergence of the problem of the parent group is the convenience of the Internet in modern society, and they suggest that schools and parents should pay attention to the problems of the parent group, and improve the enthusiasm and health of the parent group through education and guidance.
It was also suggested that a code of conduct and norms for parent groups should be established, and parents should sign a pledge before joining the group to ensure that they do not disseminate personal privacy and negative information. At the same time, schools should also strengthen the management of groups and stop and deal with violations.
It was also suggested that communication and exchanges between parents and parents should be strengthened, and that the situation of comparison and disputes among parents should be reduced through the organization of parent activities and parent meetings.
In general, solving the problem of the parent group requires the joint efforts of parents, schools and society. Only by strengthening education and management can parents return to their original intentions and play a better role.
