Recently, many people were stunned by a document from Zezhou County, which issued the "Nine Measures to Promote the Balanced Development of Population in Zezhou County" at the end of last year, which in addition to a series of drastic subsidies, incentives, and preferential policies, but also opened up a new track -
"Two and three children can add 10 points to the middle school examination".
Yes, you read that right, it is the "middle school entrance examination" of junior high school and high school, and the "second and third children" of one child, two children and three children.
If nothing else, can this kind of thing really be so casual? Flipping out the Notice of the General Office of the Ministry of Education on Further Standardizing the Work Order of the Middle School Entrance Examination in Various Places, I can't find a legal basis for arbitrarily adding points to a certain group.
Even if it is legal, it must be reasonable in addition to the law. With this short line of words, will you feel that your three views have been shattered?
Only children from two- or three-child families enjoy extra points in the high school entrance examination, and one-child families do not have this treatment. Thinking about it, I actually began to feel sad about the family with only one baby in the county... Who did they recruit and who messed with.
How did a one-child family become a cushion?
It is even possible that a two-child or three-child family, the eldest in the family does not enjoy any extra treatment, only the second and third can enjoy it. Why, only blame the boss for not being in time?
In the past, we thought that in the matter of encouraging childbearing, only the group that did not have children should be the object of our "education". "Not giving birth" and "giving birth" are the two sides of the same coin.
Now it turns out that in some places, it is nothing to have children, but those who gave birth to a baby fell to the bottom of the chain of contempt, they have to suffer discrimination because they gave birth to a baby, and this child also has to bear a very specific price.
What is even more incredible is that this discrimination against one-child families still comes from "education", which is said to encourage childbearing, and it has become an educational kidnapping.
Adding 10 points to the second child and the third is essentially using educational inequality to force parents to have another one.
In the past, some people may still feel that "not giving birth to a sorry human being", but now it is better, they will only feel that "if you give birth to one, you are sorry for your own child"...
The high school entrance examination crosses the single-wood bridge, even more fierce competition than the college entrance examination, you add 10 points as soon as you come up, as if you are joking, thinking that this is a supermarket full to give points.
To put it bluntly, once the policy of adding points to the examination of two children and three children is implemented, it is to use education as a tool for birth, which is a blasphemy against education.
Educational equity is one of the most conducive environments for a country, and if educational equity cannot be achieved, people will not even have children, let alone two children and three children.
I really don't understand that some people don't try to find ways to encourage marriage and having a child, but here they are already having a child, and this is a good idea to come up with after reading many sage books.
We hear the words "fertility friendly" every day. The purpose of a childbirth-friendly society is to reduce the burden of parenting and education on families, and to provide a healthy environment for children to grow up.
But if the "friendly policy" of a place is "conditional", and the condition happens to be the number of children, and the friendliness is all aimed at two children and three children, is this called a "childbirth-friendly policy"? This is called the "one-child policy."
Take a closer look at their encouragement policies, in fact, it is really atmospheric and very moving——
If two or three children are born, as long as they complete the prenatal examination, they will receive a subsidy of 1,000 yuan;
If you give birth to two or three children, as long as you are hospitalized and have a baby, you will receive a subsidy of 1,000 yuan;
A one-time reward of 5,000 yuan for families with two or three children;
23 children 0-1 years old monthly subsidy of 500 yuan;
Extended maternity leave to 218 days for female employees who give birth to three children;
Parents of two or three children can work one hour less every day, and one parent can work from home until the child is three years old;
Two or three children can see a doctor first and pay later;
50% subsidy for girls with two or three children receiving HPV vaccine;
50% reduction in the fee for childcare for two children, and free of charge for childcare for three children;
The tuition fee of the kindergarten for two and three children is all free, and a subsidy of 2,000 yuan is also given;
The subsidy for the admission of two and third children to undergraduate is 3,000 yuan, the junior college subsidy is 2,000 yuan, and the vocational school subsidy is 2,000 yuan;
The second and third children can add 10 points to the public high school entrance examination.
You see, it looks like so many "subsidies" and "benefits", but the prefix is "two or three children".
It's like arranging all the clearance routes for you - having a baby can only be regarded as an entry, if you really want your child not to suffer, you have to have at least one more
In fact, we all want to reward families who have more children, can subsidize, can give benefits, can directly send red envelopes, whatever, we have no opinion.
However, preferential treatment of the birth group cannot be at the cost of "using the group with fewer children or even no child as cannon fodder".
If you want to kidnap children with education, this is not even more to encourage childbearing, and the nature changes.
We have children, not tool people, not hostages.
Even if you put aside the point of "fairness", think about it from another angle, assuming that a policy like this "extra points for the examination of two or three children" is really very effective, and can quickly make every family willing to have two or three children, the fertility rate is soaring, and then, each child is added ten points, which is equal to no addition, only the parenting cost of each family and the competitive pressure after more children are changed.
A childbirth-friendly society is about reducing the burden and improving the happiness of families who have children, and I wonder whether their policy can reduce the burden on families or improve happiness.
In fact, what is really scary is not the policy of "extra points in the middle school entrance examination" itself, but the increasingly distorted ideas in some places.
It is necessary for humans to encourage fertility. But shrimp encouragement is unnecessary, and even more useless.
Today it is said that "two or three children are extra points in the exam" everyone does not agree, tomorrow will no one may come up with other "magic plans". It seems that as long as it can stimulate people to have more lives, the bottom line can be ignored.
Once this policy is really implemented, all families with children will panic, because education can be used so easily, fairness can be broken so arbitrarily, and one day unfairness will fall on their heads at will, and who can say for sure?
Even the most basic bottom line of fairness is gone, who dares to give birth?
In fact, an important decisive factor for people to have children is a sense of security, not short-term subsidies or benefits, let alone the temptation to create discrimination. Only when the entire social environment makes people feel safe and fair, and the children can be healthy and happy, will everyone be willing to have children. Instead of being born to enter a world where you compete with each other, there is no fairness, you can only win by stepping on it, and it is full of anxiety.
Most importantly, people are equal, and no matter the rank or number of births, every child should be the wealth of society. If you think that "one child" is worthless, does not matter, and only cares about two children and three children, I am afraid that you will not even get a child in the future.
If there really is such a day, will the one-child family still have a balance in their hearts? People won't take revenge, right? Yesterday! You are cold to my one-child family, turn a blind eye, step under your feet and crush into dust... Tomorrow! Sunny to cloudy 6-20 degrees...
