Primary schools force parents to take turns on duty, and they can't take leave? Official response! Netizen: Three children to stand for three days?

After the child enters school

Parent-teacher conferences are often called upon as volunteers

Maintain travel safety at the school gate

Of course, everything is premised on the student's parents' voluntariness

However, recently, some netizens broke the news

A primary school in Zhengzhou forced parents to stand guard and be on duty

Or even have to take time off work to stand guard?

This news immediately attracted attention from all parties

Netizens reflected on the People's Daily Message Board that a primary school in Huiji District, Zhengzhou, forced parents to take turns on duty and required that they could not be absent from work; If the scheduled standing time coincides with the work point, parents are asked to take one day off to stand at work.

In response, the secretary of the Huiji District Party Committee replied on June 25 that the safety of children in school is a matter of great concern to every parent, and the school's arrangement of duty is also out of consideration for the children. Everyone takes turns standing guard, and the time you can work in a semester is limited. Not only your child's school, but also schools in other districts have similar rules, and it is unfair for all parents to not want to pay and only want to enjoy the convenience of other parents, right?

Huiji District also mentioned in its reply, "The school also said that it can be adjusted privately, family members can also participate, or take a short vacation, there are many solutions." ”

On July 13, the reporter called the Huiji District Education Bureau, and the staff said that the school's request for parents to perform duties should be organized by the school, not the education bureau.

In this regard, many netizens do not buy it

Some netizens complained:

If it is a three-child family

It's not about taking three days off

Some netizens said

"Isn't it a little too much?"

"Something ridiculous!"

But some netizens believe:

"Parents taking turns standing guard helps with safety

But the implementation details are worth exploring."

Some parents said:

"For children to accept once a year"

In fact

This is not the first complaint

There are already many precedents across the country

It has repeatedly attracted the attention of public opinion

In May 2023, a complaint that "a school requires parents to take turns standing guard on duty" in Jingyan County, Leshan, Sichuan, caused heated discussions. The complaint argues that the school's requirements are excessive.

The Jingyan County Education Bureau responded that "this behavior is not improper, and if parents do have delays, they can communicate with the school in time to make adjustments."

Many local schools in Henan have taken the same measures, and some parents complain that a school arranges parents to direct traffic four times a day to make them "breathless".

Parents are involved in part of the school's work

It can indeed increase the connection between home and school

Enable schools and parents to work better together

Nurture and educate children

But parents also have their own work and life

When requested by the school

We should also be considerate of the difficulties of parents

Have you been on duty at school?

What do you think about this?
