It's a puzzling scene that takes place at the gates of a middle school. A group of students lined up in the cold wind to enter the school, but why is that? Don't they want to go to school? Or is there some fascinating mystery at the entrance of the school?
It seemed like a dangerous behavior, but the children stood on the side of the road without paying attention. I remember when we were children, the school door was always open, and students who arrived early could read quietly in the classroom. But the situation is very different now, and the school gate is crowded with parents dropping off their children and children queuing up to get to school.
You may ask, why are so many students waiting in line outside the school? It turned out that the children had arrived too early, and the school had a rule that they could only enter after 7:30 a.m. Parents may have to drop off their children before they go to work, or they will be late. On this winter morning, the children braved the cold wind to wait, which was really distressing.
After the phenomenon of netizens**, the Education Bureau gave a response: Students who arrive at school early are usually sent to school too early because their parents send them to school too early. But this raises another problem, regulations are dead, while people are alive, and sometimes regulations do not fully apply to the actual situation.
Of course, the regulations are to facilitate management and reduce accident liability, but they also need to take into account the warmth of human nature. Therefore, we should be more understanding and accommodating in this dilemma, rather than just putting the blame on the school administrators.
Safety is paramount, but overly extreme regulations risk dehumanizing. It's not good to go to school too early in the morning, it's too late, and it's easy to get stuck in traffic, which is really a troublesome problem. Perhaps, we should focus more on the dilemmas behind these rather than simply blaming administrators or schools.
