Chinanews client, Beijing, April 13th (Lang Lang) There are only less than two months left before the college entrance examination and senior high school entrance examination.

Any factor that may affect learning will be regarded as a scourge, such as mobile phones.

  Recently, news related to the smashing of mobile phones at Xinyang No. 1 Middle School in Henan has caused heated public opinion. Some people support the school’s tough attitude and believe that “no rules can’t make a circle”; others question whether this action infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of students?

School smashed mobile phones to cause controversy: Is it reasonable or legal?

  Right now, for the third and third grades of junior high school, whether it is students, teachers, or parents, everyone's spirits are becoming increasingly tense and entering the final sprint.

  Recently, a school in Xinyang, Henan Province organized students to collectively smash mobile phones on the hot search.

In the video posted by netizens, the students walked up the flags one by one, picked up a small hammer and smashed their mobile phones.

The principal responded that he smashed two students' mobile phones (the parents' old phones), which was in line with the parents' request, and the students agreed.

  The matter stirred up heated discussions in public opinion.

Supporters believe that mobile phones have been repeatedly banned from entering campuses and that smashing mobile phones is really helpless, and this has indeed restrained students from the outside world.

  Critics believe that smashing phones and those who support smashing phones lack the awareness of the rule of law.

This method is typical of cutting feet and fitting shoes, and giving up food due to choking.

  With the increasing popularity of mobile phones, many adults are "kidnapped" by mobile phones, and the mobile phones in the hands of elementary and middle school students have always been worrying.

Review: Mobile phones are forbidden to enter the campus, repeated bans continue

  In fact, it is not the first time that students’ mobile phones were destroyed for warning purposes in junior and high schools in China.

  Previously, Fanting Middle School in Yuanping City, Shanxi immediately broke or threw the mobile phone brought into the campus into a bucket, and Fengtai Gucheng Middle School in Huainan, Anhui publicly smashed students’ mobile phones... Almost every year, mobile phones "die" by the school’s hammer. under.

  Similarly, "prohibiting mobile phones from entering campuses" is not a new topic. The reason behind the ban is not only because indulging in mobile phones will affect learning, but also because of the impact on students' eyesight health and other aspects.

  At the press conference of the Ministry of Education in August last year, Wang Dengfeng, director of the Office of the Leading Group for the Response to the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic of the Ministry of Education, introduced that according to the Ministry of Education's assessment of the vision of 14,532 primary, junior high and high school students in 9 provinces (regions, cities) during the epidemic According to the survey results of the changing situation, the myopia rate of the surveyed students increased by 11.7% in half a year. Among them, the myopia rate of primary school students increased by 15.2%, junior high school students increased by 8.2%, and high school students increased by 3.8%.

  In order to establish a protective barrier between students and electronic products, the education department has become more and more stringent in related aspects.

  As early as August 2018, the "Implementation Plan for the Comprehensive Prevention and Control of Myopia in Children and Adolescents" issued by 8 departments including the Ministry of Education and the National Health Commission clearly stated that it is strictly forbidden for students to bring personal mobile phones, tablets and other electronic products into the classroom. Those who enter the school shall be kept in a unified manner.

  "Do a good job in primary and secondary school homework, sleep, mobile phones, reading materials, and physical fitness management." At the National Education Work Conference in 2021, Minister of Education Chen Baosheng stated that schools should be regarded as a pure land for information management and a quiet reading atmosphere in schools.

  Immediately, in February, the Ministry of Education issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Mobile Phones for Primary and Secondary School Students". In principle, primary and secondary school students are not allowed to bring personal mobile phones into campus.

If there is a real need, a written application must be obtained with the consent of the parents. After entering the school, the mobile phone should be kept by the school and it is forbidden to bring it into the classroom.

  Although at the policy level, mobile phones are basically "blocked" by campuses, how to correctly handle the relationship with mobile phones has become an important topic of education nowadays when communications are becoming more and more developed.

Expert: Criticizing education cannot break the bottom line of respect

  Regarding the question from netizens that “the school’s action infringed on the property rights of students”, An Xiang, director of Beijing Dexiang Law Firm and deputy director of the Civil Law Committee of the Beijing Bar Association, said, “There is this suspicion, I think it is difficult for students and parents to accept it voluntarily. Such an approach is probably just reluctantly accepted due to the school's requirements."

  "Smashing mobile phones is a crude move that just shows an extreme, it is to promote an extreme solution. This behavior is not a value that is worthy of promotion to the students."

  An Xiang believes that it is a good idea not to let mobile phones affect students' learning, but it is not necessary to adopt such extreme methods to solve the problem.

If a student can't concentrate on studying, even if he doesn't have a mobile phone, he will find other ways to entertain.

  "This is not the first time that mobile phones have been smashed in public to serve as a warning and demonstration role, but from the perspective of the effect, it is not ideal." said Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences.

  He believes that the school’s handling of the problem in this way is a manifestation of "anti-education". No matter how "carefully designed" the method and process of destroying mobile phones in public, what is exposed is still the eagerness and simplicity of education. , It is effective in the sense of "tool", but it brings more harm to the realization of the goal of "education".

  Experts believe that the practice of destroying mobile phones in public may be effective in solving the current problem of students secretly playing mobile phones, may be effective in forcing students to focus on their studies and improve their grades, and may be effective in reversing children's disobedience to parents and teachers. However, this This approach will not be effective for cultivating a sound person.

  For the other students who were asked to witness the whole process, Chu Zhaohui saw that they received an education that "dignity is not important" and conveyed the wrong orientation that "human dignity can be so ignored."

This may cause the thousands of students present to adopt an indifferent attitude of choosing sides when faced with the dignity of others being hurt. This will have a wrong impact on students' emotions, attitudes, and values.

  Students who violate the rules naturally need to be punished, but this kind of criticism and education cannot break through some bottom lines, and the destruction of students’ mobile phones is suspected of infringing on the property of others.

Use suspected illegal means to solve the problem of students' violation of school regulations, and the importance is reversed.
