On September 8, a news that a parent group was preparing to buy gifts for teachers for 5,000 yuan quickly rushed to the hot search, attracting the attention of the whole network, and also caused heated discussions on the Internet, some people supported, some people accused.
It is said that this incident occurred in the junior high school of Taiyuan Ivy League Middle School, and it was an initiative issued by the parent committee of a class in the class group, in which it was said that it would cost more than 5,000 yuan to send five sets of cosmetics, two sets of parker pens and seven bouquets of flowers to the teacher, and these expenses were evenly distributed to each parent.
Some parents think that the parent committee does not have such a big right, and some parents think that the parent committee organizes gifts to teachers, and only the members of the parent committee show their faces in front of the teacher, and other parents do not get any benefits, but let the children of the parents of the parent committee get the attention of the teacher.
After the incident continued to ferment on the Internet, it attracted the attention of the local education department, which said that it had intervened in the investigation to pay attention to the matter, and the staff of the local education bureau had clearly stated in an interview with the media that the school was explicitly forbidden for teachers to accept gifts.
In fact, Teachers' Day is a respect for teachers, and the parent committee organizes parents to give gifts to teachers, which obviously changes the taste of this festival and will also cause dissatisfaction among many parents. When Teachers' Day approaches, local education departments have also issued rules and regulations, explicitly prohibiting teachers from receiving gifts, requiring teachers to adhere to honesty and self-discipline, strict self-discipline, clean teaching, and not asking for and accepting gifts from students.
Some parents say that giving gifts to teachers will make education unfair and damage the image of teachers. The school's parent committee raised money in the class group to buy gifts for teachers, even if they acted spontaneously, the teacher should refuse, and the school clearly prohibited teachers from accepting gifts, which is also very popular.
On this Teachers' Day, are you giving gifts to teachers? In fact, the so-called spontaneous gift giving to teachers by the parent association is not appropriate, and it makes people feel a little strong to drink water on the head, which will cause pressure on many parents and make Teachers' Day vulgar.
As a bridge between parents and schools, the PTA is supposed to be an organization that promotes home-school cooperation and cares for children's growth. However, recently, some parent associations have been cloaked up as "holding parents hostage to the festival", which has caused many parents to feel distressed and dissatisfied.
On the occasion of Teachers' Day, some parent associations took this opportunity to collect fees and force parents to buy expensive gifts for teachers, which caused dissatisfaction among many parents.
This practice undoubtedly brings great financial pressure and psychological burden to parents. Many families are already burdened, and the PTA's practice of "holding parents hostage" undoubtedly makes parents feel oppressed and unfair. Some parents have to go against their will, participate in activities they do not want to, or even go against their own values.
Parent associations should pay more attention to the needs and opinions of parents when organizing activities. We need to encourage parents to participate in school activities in their own way, rather than imposing their participation. Only by truly respecting the choices and rights of parents can we establish a harmonious home-school relationship.
As parents, we must also be brave to express our opinions and needs. If we are not satisfied with the practices of the parent committee, we should actively participate in the discussion of the parent association and put forward our own suggestions and opinions. Only through communication and cooperation can the ideal home-school cooperation effect be achieved.
