Follow me and I will share some interesting stories and experiences on a regular basis to exchange educational experiences together.
With the popularization of the Internet and smartphones, the parent group has become an important platform for information exchange between home and school. Initially, the parent group was established to strengthen the connection between home and school, and to achieve the purpose of information exchange and opinion exchange. Schools can inform parents of important matters in a timely manner through ** notifications, while parents can share parenting experiences and discuss their children's learning issues with each other. This kind of communication has promoted the connection between home and school, and has played a positive role in promoting the development of education.
However, as the scope of the parent group participants expanded, the contradictions and problems in it gradually became apparent. Some parents began to compare their economic strength with their children's achievements within the group, showing off their wealth and their children's excellence. There are also parents who openly question the competence of teachers and set a bad example for their children. The most shocking thing is that some parents use the parent group to engage in improper interactions, and even involve infidelity. These bad behaviors have seriously disrupted the normal order of the parent group and brought harm to the family and the school.
There are three root causes of the chaos among parents. First of all, some parents have uneven quality and education levels, and they freely make remarks in cyberspace that are inconsistent with the group's values. Second, the management of the parent group is too lax, and there is no guidance and restraint on inappropriate speech. Thirdly, the commercial operation of some parent groups has attracted some outsiders to enter, increasing the possibility of contradictions.
In real life, some typical cases have also emerged. For example, in a middle school parent group, an unmarried man and woman met through the group and ** many times, among which the man also promoted his happy family in the group, until other parents found out, he hurriedly deleted the account to evade responsibility. Such an incident is undoubtedly a devastating blow to the man's wife and children.
In response to the frequent chaos of the parent group, various comments appeared on the Internet. Some argue that if schools and teachers are unable to exercise effective restraint, parent groups should be disbanded to prevent further harm to more people. There are also people who defend teachers and group owners, arguing that it is not appropriate to control the free communication of parents, but it is easy to cause chaos if left alone. There are also some people who have a more rational attitude, believing that the parent group itself is an important platform for home-school communication, and its positive role cannot be denied because of a very small number of chaos.
In order to promote the healthy development of the parent group, we can start from several aspects. First of all, the whole society should strengthen the education of parents and improve the quality of parents themselves. Parents are their children's first teachers, and their words and actions directly affect their children's behavior and values. Therefore, parents should examine their words and deeds and maintain a rational attitude. Second, schools and teachers should play a key guiding role. When establishing a parent group, they should clarify the nature and rules of the group, and promptly correct inappropriate remarks in the operation to guide parents to understand the true meaning of education. Third, the management mechanism of the parent group should be improved. The school and the parent committee should jointly participate in the management, set up reporting channels, and take strict measures against illegal speech, and will not tolerate it. Fourth, strengthen other channels of communication between home and school. It is not comprehensive to rely only on virtual cyberspace communication, and schools should also organize parents to participate in offline communication activities to enhance mutual understanding and trust and reduce the occurrence of misunderstandings.
In general, as an important platform for home-school communication, the parent group has played an active role in promoting education. However, the existence of chaos in the parent group also brings harm to families and schools. The healthy development of parent groups can be promoted by strengthening parent education, giving full play to the guiding role of schools and teachers, improving the management mechanism of parent groups, and strengthening other contact channels.
