Teachers leaving students strike school can’t blindly cater to parents’ unreasonable demands

　　Schools cannot blindly cater to the unreasonable demands of parents

　　On February 22, the day when the compulsory education school in Fuyang City, Anhui Province opened, more than 30 students in the sixth grade (2) class of the Fuyang Normal University Affiliated Primary School chose to skip class on this day because of opposition to the Chinese teacher being transferred to another grade. , And it lasted until February 23.

On February 24, the Fuyang City Education Bureau stated that on the afternoon of the 24th, the students in the class involved had already returned to school.

　　Some people think that before changing teachers, schools should communicate with parents and do a good job of explaining. As long as they do well in advance, this kind of thing can be avoided.

There is some truth to this view, but it may confuse parents with home-school responsibilities.

The reasonable demands of parents need to be respected and adopted, but the school cannot cater to the unreasonable demands of parents.

Starting from maintaining school teaching order and safeguarding schools including education and teaching autonomy and personnel autonomy, the school’s decision to arrange teachers should be respected, and the so-called so-called listening to parents’ opinions and communication with parents should not be added because of parental opposition.

　　If schools are required to obey parents’ opinions when adjusting class teachers and subject teachers, it is likely that the result of communication is that many parents object to changing teachers who they think are good.

If this is the case, should the school listen to the opinions of these parents and not change teachers, or should the school change teachers out of school work arrangements?

　　In accordance with the requirements of the country to promote the balance of compulsory education, my country should implement a system of exchanges and rotations between principals and teachers of compulsory education schools. The exchange rate of teachers in urban schools and high-quality schools in each school year shall not be less than 10% of the total number of teachers who meet the requirements for exchanges. Teacher exchange rotation should not be less than 20% of the total number of exchanges.

Some parents will definitely be reluctant to exchange key teachers in this school with other schools. So, is it because some parents disagree with the exchange of key teachers and do not do this job?

Can the school not cooperate with the teachers’ exchange and rotation work because the parents disagree?

　　Some people believe that class teachers and subject teachers should listen to the opinions of students and meet their demands.

As far as this matter is concerned, separate opinions from students and parents.

Judging from the information reported by the media, it is parents who prevent their children from attending classes to express their demands.

It should be noted that compulsory education does not give parents the right to choose schools, classes, and teachers.

Admission to nearby schools is exempt from examinations, and there are no key schools or key classes. The purpose is to promote the balance of educational resources.

　　It is not possible to choose class teachers and subject teachers. It does not mean that parents cannot express their opinions about class teachers and subject teachers.

If the class teacher or subject teacher does not teach seriously, fails to fulfill the teacher's duties, or even violates the teacher's ethics, parents can submit their opinions to the school or even report the teacher's violations.

When the head teacher and subject teacher are fully qualified for the job, there is no reason for parents to require the school to appoint the head teacher and subject teacher according to their own intentions.

　　In modern school governance, parents have the right to participate in school management, supervision and evaluation, but it is necessary to distinguish between teaching affairs and non-teaching affairs.

Parents have the right to participate in non-teaching affairs, but not too much in teaching affairs.

The school arranges teachers, teachers to attend classes, assigns homework, and teacher evaluation. These are all teaching affairs and parents cannot participate. The purchase of school uniforms, canteen hygiene, and campus safety are non-teaching affairs. Parents should participate more and decide whether to buy school uniforms. Maintain the safety and hygiene of the campus and jointly build a good campus environment.

　　To implement the school's autonomy in running a school and to increase parents' satisfaction with the school, it is necessary to clarify the family-school relationship and family-school responsibilities.

Parents must resolutely support the school’s laws and regulations and normal teaching adjustments.

If parents are dissatisfied with the school’s normal teaching adjustments, what the school needs to do is to increase communication with parents, explain the whole story, and let parents better understand the boundaries of the responsibility of the home school, instead of blindly catering to the unreasonable demands of parents.
