"Parent Group" has no inevitable connection with the growth of children
【News Essay】
Recently, a parent in Jiangsu yelled in a short video released by him: "What's wrong with me leaving the parent group!" This "roar" quickly caused heated discussions on the Internet.
There are many people who support this parent, and there are also those who complain for the teacher. Who is the parent group trapped?
At the end of the video posted on the Internet, the Jiangsu parent asked: "I teach, and I change it. After that, I have to say without my conscience that the teacher has worked hard. Who has worked hard?" This "soul torture", obviously Many parents' voices were said.
After a tiring and busy day of work, many parents still have to sit at their desks and tirelessly tutor their children with homework and complete various tasks assigned by the teacher.
At this moment, their mood is imaginable.
This is not the first parent to express dissatisfaction with this, but it does not seem fair to point the finger at the teacher.
After all, teachers who are "willful" in the parent group are few.
In addition to working hours, a lot of energy must be spent on the parent group, which I believe is not what every teacher expects.
Educating children and improving grades are indeed inseparable from the vigorous cooperation of parents.
In reality, there are not a few parents who are unwilling to cooperate with teachers and even indifferent to their children's learning.
Therefore, the teacher's "active" figure in the parent group also reveals a sense of helplessness.
Teachers and parents have no way to praise the parent group. This is an old problem that has long attracted the attention of relevant departments.
For example, in October this year, the "Implementation Opinions on Further Reducing the Burden of Primary and Secondary School Students" issued by the Education Bureau of Taiyuan, Shanxi Province clearly stated that it is strictly forbidden to ask parents to correct homework, clean the classroom, and like and forward all kinds of information.
In this way, as long as there are "three chapters" and clear rules in the parent group, conflicts between parents and teachers can be avoided, and the parent group can be "clean"?
I'm afraid things are not that simple.
Still some netizens’ comments hit the nail on the head: "What should I do when there was no WeChat before?" In the circle of friends, many people also sighed: "I miss the days without parent groups."
Of course, we don't have to shirk all responsibilities to modern communication tools. It is obviously unrealistic to go back to the era without smart phones.
At the moment, what is more worthy of reflection is why in this debate, the "protagonist" of learning, the child himself, is missing?
Perhaps we should regard the parent group as a metaphor of modern education: a highly sophisticated education system requires more people to participate in the children's learning process, but does not care about the actual effect.
Teachers continue to assign various homework and tasks, and parents have to spend a lot of time and energy to tutor their children to show their dedication.
But people seem to have forgotten, study, whose business is it?
This can't help but reminiscent of the recent hot word-"involution".
When people squander their lives in fierce and ineffective competition, education will change.
It is undeniable that children's learning needs supervision and help, but throughout the ages, anyone's success is ultimately inseparable from their own efforts. This is a simple but long-forgotten truth.
Perhaps we should all realize that there is no necessary connection between whether there is a parent group and whether a child can grow up healthily and make progress every day.
