"Small dining tables" outside the school should not linger in the gray area
According to a recent report by "Ban Yue Tan", for many years, the "small dining tables" hidden in the streets and lanes of the city have become the main places for many children after school.
However, due to the general unlicensed and unlicensed, mixed industries, and high food safety risks, the off-campus "little dining table" has been criticized.
And away from these "small dining tables", many parents are extremely inconvenient to take care of their children during working days.
The problem of "small dining tables" outside of school is actually also a problem of difficulty in child care at noon.
Children’s meals and lunch breaks are rigid demands. Parents have no time to take care of them during work days, and some schools cannot provide corresponding conditions.
Spontaneously formed off-campus "small dining tables", due to the lack of legal business premises, licenses, and necessary sanitation and health qualifications, are illegal and reasonable all year round in a gray area, and there are inevitably some risks.
The root of the management of "small dining tables" outside the school is to solve the problem of lunchtime custody services, especially the supply of high-quality and safe services.
Otherwise, mere prohibition will not help, and it will inevitably be trapped in the predicament of not being able to control or manage.
The low-cost and low-charge model of "Small Dining Table" makes it difficult to guarantee safe and reliable service quality.
At the same time, due to the scattered existence of "small dining tables" outside the school and not being recognized, whether it is based on operational expectations or participating in market competition, they lack the motivation to increase investment and improve conditions, and it is difficult to develop and perfect in a short period of time.
The problem of child care cannot be achieved by relying solely on the current market model, and relying on schools is also a problem. Not only does it require funds, facilities, equipment and personnel, but also how to charge fees and the allocation of teachers’ energy are also problems. Many places try to manage on-campus and eventually fail. After all, because of this.
Student custody services can neither be taken care of by the school, nor can they grow wild outside the school, but need to accurately locate the properties of the custody service to avoid extremes.
It is necessary to find the points of convergence between education, school, family and the market, share responsibilities reasonably, formulate ways of sharing and organization and management, and obtain the greatest common divisor of all parties.
Try to follow the path where schools take the lead in serving social purchases, social organizations and schools build together, and the cost is shared by the government and parents.
For example, local governments and schools increase investment, improve school boarding and lodging conditions, organize personnel to provide custody services, and charge necessary fees; if the school does not have the basic conditions for custody, the government and parents share the service costs, and the school and parents purchase services nearby , Jointly exercise supervision and management responsibilities, and guide the market to provide large-scale, safe and quality services.
The children’s "little dining table" is a big problem related to their physical and mental development and should not be unsolvable.
