Some people say that in the county seat of their hometown, the most lively place is not a shopping mall, not a night market, but the entrance of the school. In the morning and evening, after school, parents who pick up and drop off their children are endless, and the water that surrounds the school gate on the three outer three floors is not clear. As a parent who picks up and drops off my children every day, I agree with this.
After the alarm goes off at 5:10 a.m., I get up immediately, simply wash my face, make milk powder for my child, and call the students to get up at 5:20. I kept staring at the time, afraid that he would sleep one minute less, and called on the students to get up, put on their school uniforms, and wash up. I hurried downstairs to start a good car to wait, ensuring that I would arrive at school before 6 o'clock, afraid that the child would be criticized by the teacher for being late.
It was still pitch black outside, and the sky was full of stars. If you arrive near the school at around 5:50, the car will be crowded into a lump at this time, and you will be blocked so much that you will be miserable. School ends at 10:30 p.m., and leaves at early 9:30 a.m., waiting at the school gate for the first time, for fear of delaying the students' time to go home.
Good weather is fine, rain and snow weather is more troublesome. Students have three weeks off, there is no sun at both ends every day, and the pick-up and drop-off of students with stars and moons is the normal life of many of our parents and a landscape around the school.
Every day when it comes to school, the doors of various schools are always surrounded by parents who come to pick up and drop off students, and cars and pedestrians are really difficult to walk. During school hours, the road sections around the school are very congested.
Now it feels like a normal phenomenon, with the development of the times now people's living conditions are better, the family scooter from the bicycle to the car, our small county has become very congested, there are many cars on the road, every day there will be a variety of unexpected events.
Many of our parents are not at ease to let their children go out alone, coupled with the heavy learning tasks of children in junior high schools and high schools, they want to let students rest for a while, so they pick up their children to and from school every day, which has become a mandatory task for parents, and parents picking up and dropping off children has become a normal phenomenon in society, and everyone can understand it.
A few days ago, I saw a university professor's remarks, he said: Parents send their children to school to ruin their children's lives, the reason is that sending children to school, can not exercise the child's self-care ability, such a doting way, will make the child become overly dependent on parents.
Yes, this truth we all know, parents have no way to follow their children for a lifetime, after all, there will be a day when children need to face the world by themselves, and children who lack self-care ability are easy to suffer losses in society.
30 years ago, children are free range, no matter the wind and rain, the wind and the sun are carrying their own school bags to school, to and from school there is no one to pick up, students are traveling together, far away from their own riding on foreign bikes to go.
Today's society is completely different from the previous society, and now many schools will be built in very busy areas of the road, and there are many vehicles on the road.
Coupled with the time after school, it is also just in time for the evening rush hour, office workers are also off work, there are many cars on the road, and it is very dangerous for children to be alone in such an environment, so they must be escorted by their parents, and parents will be at peace.
In fact, most of the parents of the family are mostly picking up and dropping off students! The phenomenon of picking up and dropping off students is also very understandable, after all, children are the future of the motherland, and it is also the responsibility of each of us to protect them from harm.
On the way back and forth, children share bits and pieces of joy and sorrow in school with themselves, such a payment is also an opportunity for emotional integration, and picking up and dropping off students is a kind of "tired and happy" thing. I prefer a copywriting of picking up and dropping off students on Douyin: I am rain or shine, you read hard in the cold window, no matter what the future holds, I am responsible!
Do you think there are pros or cons to parents picking up and dropping off their children every day? Would love to hear your opinion!
