Three Questions about "Online Classroom" Managed Baby-Carrying
Shi Zhaokun
To ensure that the Internet is not blocked, the housekeeping department is responsible for supervising the baby's homework, and the catering department is responsible for feeding the baby regularly... Recently, many hotel operators have launched "online classrooms", and the package price ranges from one hundred yuan to several thousand yuan. .
The "online classrooms" launched by some hotels also come with "baby-carrying services", including taking regular photos to report the children's learning status and leading them to do aerobics, etc. (According to a Xinhua News Agency report on April 20).
Due to the decline in hotel occupancy rates due to the impact of the epidemic, hotel operators have innovated and launched "online classrooms", which can be regarded as "self-help" following the trend.
However, if the privately added service content of the hotel carries the functions of some off-campus hosting institutions, it may exceed the business scope of the hotel, be suspected of violating relevant laws and regulations, and may also cause civil disputes due to accidents.
Parents who choose the "online classroom" service, when temporarily unable to fulfill their childcare obligations, entrust their children to the hotel for short-term custody through a "one-paper contract".
Is there something wrong with this process?
The author believes that parents may wish to think about three questions first.
First of all, does the hotel have the relevant qualifications?
Some hotels "online classrooms" recruit students from 3 to 16 years old, and it is not clear that they must be accompanied by an adult.
Then, if the parents as guardians keep their children in the hotel alone, if the children are injured and cause disputes, how to clarify and define the relevant responsibilities?
Generally speaking, off-campus custody institutions need to apply for business licenses from the relevant competent authorities, and also need to meet the corresponding food business conditions, fire protection conditions, etc., and the hotel's main business scope does not have off-campus custody services. Although the "online classroom" carries some The function of an off-campus trustee institution does not mean that it has the qualification of an off-campus trustee institution.
Therefore, considering the guardianship responsibility of minors involved, the child's guardian should sign a written agreement with the hotel before accepting the service, specifying the service content, guardianship responsibility and civil liability in the event of a dispute.
Secondly, is the hotel venue suitable as an "online classroom"?
For these minors who need to take online classes, not all of them have good self-care ability. So, can the hotel operator ensure the personal safety of the children under custody?
During the "Online Classroom" service period, the hotel will still open its doors as normal, and the occupants are complex and difficult to manage. For young minors with weak self-care ability, it is inevitable that there will be certain security risks, such as the epidemic situation. Cross-infection, personal safety status is violated, etc.
Furthermore, how to ensure that the hotel staff are competent for "carrying baby service"?
Off-campus hosting institutions generally have certain qualification requirements for staff, including no criminal record, good health, no mental illness, infectious disease or other diseases that may affect the health and safety of students.
Can hotel staff meet all of the above criteria?
In addition, if there are many children under the custody, whether the hotel staff can complete the care and care of the children under the custody is also a matter of concern.
The emergence of "online classrooms" and "caring services for children" may be a "burden reduction" move for parents who are busy with work and cannot bring their children.
But whether this move is legal or not is worth considering.
A sound system, effective supervision, and scientific operation are the keys to the development of managed "online classrooms" in compliance with laws and regulations.
Under the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, relevant industries need to have clearer industry self-discipline and other discipline for "self-rescue", and how to find a balance between legal and compliant operation and innovative development is still a proposition to be pondered continuously.
