With the rapid development of social science and technology, the parent group as a new type of home-school *** has gradually emerged. At first, the establishment of the parent group adhered to the original intention of promoting home-school communication and jointly assisting children's education and growth. On this information exchange platform, parents can share parenting experience and discuss educational topics, which promotes the sharing of educational resources and mutual assistance. However, as the number of participants in the parent group grew, some problems began to emerge. The originally harmonious and harmonious communication atmosphere has gradually been distorted by negative behaviors such as showing off, comparing, and criticizing, and some parents have even taken advantage of the convenience of group gatherings to engage in inappropriate behaviors. These chaos not only interfere with the normal order of educational exchanges, but also cause potential harm to families and schools. Parents are experiencing a challenge about order and responsibility.
The original intention of the parent group was to promote the connection between the school and parents, so as to facilitate the rapid transfer of information and the exchange of opinions. The emergence of parent groups has shortened the distance between schools and parents, and strengthened communication and understanding. On this platform, parents can share parenting experiences, children's learning methods, etc., forming a community that grows together and supports each other. Many schools use the ** function to issue notices to convey information to parents conveniently and efficiently, ensuring that the home-school connection is unimpeded. However, with the popularity of the parent group, some problems have also begun to surface.
With the development of the parent group, some undesirable phenomena have also begun to spread among the group. Some parents use this platform to show off their family wealth and compare their children's achievements, resulting in a trend of showing off in the group; Some parents even make personal attacks on teachers and criticize their teaching ability, which not only negatively affects the educational atmosphere, but also hurts the foundation of solidarity and cooperation. What is even more shocking is that there are many reports that the parent group has become a channel for some people to find sexual encounters and commit adultery. These behaviors not only seriously disrupt the normal order of the parent group, but also raise questions about the management effectiveness of this group. Although these problems are not common, their negative impact on home-school relationships and children's development cannot be ignored.
Why is there such chaos in the parent group? The reasons for this can be analyzed from many aspects. First of all, some parents lack the correct educational concept and code of conduct, and they make random remarks in the parent group to show off. Secondly, the management environment of the parent group is too loose and lacks an effective restraint mechanism. Group managers and school teachers should strengthen guidance and supervision of groups to prevent the occurrence of negative behavior. Third, some parent groups operate commercially, which leads to the distortion of the original purpose of the group and attracts some outsiders who do not meet the value orientation to join. This commercialization model promotes the emergence of contradictions within the group and lays a hidden danger for the breeding of chaos.
The chaos among parents is not an isolated case. For example, the parent group of a middle school in a certain city once reported a scandal in which an unmarried man and woman met through a group and privately developed a ** relationship. What's even more outrageous is that the married man is still boasting about his happy family life in the group. It wasn't until other parents noticed that something was wrong that he hastily deleted his account and fled. This betrayal not only hurts the feelings of the family, but also brings a huge blow to the child's heart. The university said that it will strictly review the membership of the group and strengthen management to prevent similar incidents from happening again. However, the damage has been done, and the mother and son still have to struggle to overcome the psychological haze.
In response to the recent frequent chaos in the parent group, there have also been many voices on the Internet. Some people believe that if the management cannot be effectively restrained, the parent group might as well be disbanded so as not to harm more people. There are also people who understand the dilemma of teachers and group leaders, who are torn between free communication and maintaining order, and want to find a balance. There are also rational voices who point out that the parent group itself is an important communication platform and that its positive role should not be completely denied because of very few incidents. They called on parents to improve their literacy, and schools to strengthen guidance to maintain the normal operation of the group.
In view of the problems existing in the parent group, the author puts forward the following suggestions: First, the whole society should strengthen the quality education of parents and improve the moral cultivation and behavioral norms of parents. Parents' words and deeds will directly affect the growth of children, and only parents themselves have good qualities to guide their children's healthy growth. Second, schools and teachers should play an important guiding role in clarifying the positioning and rules of the parent group, and promptly stopping the spread of inappropriate speech. Third, the management mechanism of the parent group should be improved, and the school and the parent committee should jointly participate in the management, establish an effective reporting mechanism, and achieve zero tolerance for violations. Fourth, parents and schools should expand other offline communication activities to promote mutual understanding and trust. Only the joint efforts of parents, schools and students can ensure the healthy development of parents and make greater contributions to the cause of education.
In general, the parent group is a positive educational communication platform, but it will inevitably encounter some problems and challenges in the process of development. It is important for parents and schools to be aware of their responsibility to lead the healthy development of the parent community, and work together to create a positive and harmonious atmosphere for educational exchanges. Only in this way can the parent group truly play its due role and contribute to the growth of children.
