"Limited entry into the campus, prohibited entry into the classroom"——
Can a child's mobile phone "afford to put it down"?
Elementary and secondary schools across the country have ushered in a new semester, and many parents and students have received new reminders: in principle, students are not allowed to bring personal mobile phones into campus.
If there is a need to bring a mobile phone into the campus, the mobile phone should be handed over to the school for unified custody after entering the school, and it is forbidden to bring it into the classroom.
Internet addiction, game addiction, and myopia rate is rising...In recent years, the excessive use of mobile phones has caused various problems among elementary and middle school students, which has aroused social concern.
How to manage children's mobile phones has caused headaches for many teachers and parents.
At the beginning of February, the General Office of the Ministry of Education issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Mobile Phones for Primary and Middle School Students", requiring students to not bring personal mobile phones into campus in principle.
On February 23, at a press conference held by the Ministry of Education, the relevant person in charge once again emphasized the need to ensure that the management of mobile phones for primary and secondary school students is effective.
Schools in all regions should follow the requirements of "limited access to campus and prohibition of access to classrooms" and detailed management measures.
At the same time, it is necessary to prepare the necessary unified storage devices for mobile phones.
Some experts say that “post-00s are the true first-generation Internet aborigines.” Then, in the era of mobile internet, how to make students treat the Internet scientifically and rationally, use mobile phones rationally, and improve students' information literacy and self-management ability?
After the Ministry of Education issued the "Notice", local education committees put forward clear requirements for implementing the spirit of the "Notice".
For example, as required by the Beijing Municipal Commission of Education, all primary and secondary schools set up a unified and centralized storage of mobile phone facilities and equipment for students; Shaanxi prohibits students from bringing personal mobile phones into the classroom; Jiangxi clarifies the management responsibilities of faculty and staff in primary and secondary schools; Guangzhou only allows primary and secondary school students to bring phones and watches into the school. The usage period is locked.
At the beginning of the new semester, all primary and middle schools have strengthened the management of mobile phones.
Some schools have implemented precise and meticulous management. For example, there are more "airports" and "tarmacs" at the door of classrooms for storing mobile phones, and fixed telephones are installed in each student dormitory...
In fact, whether mobile phones should be prohibited from entering campuses has long been discussed in society.
Previously, some schools rudely dealt with the problem of students carrying mobile phones, which has aroused heated public opinion many times. For example, a middle school publicly smashed students' mobile phones, some high school students were dropped out of school playing mobile phones in class, and teachers asked middle school students to throw their phones into buckets and destroy them.
In this regard, the "Notice" proposed that schools should strengthen education and guidance through various forms such as class team meetings, psychological counseling, school rules and disciplines, and avoid simple and rude management behaviors.
Tian Feng, deputy director of the Youth and Social Issues Research Office of the Institute of Sociology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that schools and other relevant departments should avoid lazy politics when implementing the spirit of the "Notice", and they should assume their due education and guidance responsibilities, and do a good job with their parents. Linkage management, rather than just using physical isolation methods.
In the long run, simply banning the use of mobile phones is not conducive to the healthy growth of young people in the mobile Internet era.
Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences, believes that only with diversified educational evaluation standards can elementary and middle school students have more time and opportunities to carry out outdoor activities, get close to nature, and get in touch with society, instead of relying solely on mobile phones to obtain information from the outside world. It helps to enhance the autonomy of individual students, "serving things instead of being enslaved by things".
The phone itself is not a problem, but how to use the phone is the problem.
Some experts suggest that education and guidance should be used to allow children to improve their media information literacy and self-management capabilities.
When facing the mobile phone, they can "afford to put it down."
Guiding students to use mobile phones scientifically requires the joint efforts of home and school.
The "Notice" emphasizes that the school should inform parents of the relevant requirements of mobile phone management, clarify the harm of excessive use of mobile phones and the need to strengthen management.
Parents should perform their education responsibilities, strengthen supervision and management of children's use of mobile phones, and form a joint effort for home-school education.
On February 23, Lu Yugang, Director of the Department of Basic Education of the Ministry of Education, talked about what to do when students are addicted to mobile phones at home after school. Parents should make appointments with their children to use mobile phones.
At the same time, we must actively look for alternatives and take the initiative to carry out parent-child activities.
The home should create a rich living environment, such as reading and exercising, to make full and effective use of some of the children's time.
"Parents should lead by example and not be addicted to the Internet." Lu Yugang said that the impact of parents' own mobile phone on their children is also very bad, which also requires the joint efforts of the school, family and society to solve this problem together.
