Recently, an education news in Qingdao, Shandong Province has attracted widespread attention on social media. A 10-year-old boy was severely educated by his father because of the gesture of drawing the middle finger on the test paper and the bad habit of giving the middle finger to others, and was even punished for standing the middle finger for nearly 1 hour.
In the video, the father sternly asks the child: "Don't you like this action?" The boy wept and replied, "I don't like it." My father said meaningfully: "You don't even write the exam papers, and you still draw this gesture on it, so I will let you do enough today." ”
Regarding the incident, the boy's father, Mr. Jin, explained in an interview that his son usually likes to make this gesture, so he decided to punish him for standing with his middle finger raised, crying and admitting his mistake. He thinks that this method is relatively effective, and he expects that the child will never dare to do it again in the future.
This practice has sparked heated discussions from all walks of life. Some netizens expressed their support, believing that such a punishment was appropriate. Some netizens said, "The punishment is very good, I don't dare to say the mantra of some primary school students in the community, it's really dirty"; Another person recalled his own experience, "I remember that a child who was about a first grade sat on the back seat of his mother's electric car and gave me the middle finger, and I directly rode his bicycle to chase him for two streets, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head"; Some people even expressed "strong support, some children learn bad mantras or behaviors, we should intervene in advance to stop it, otherwise we don't know what to do."
However, there are also some who question this approach to education. A netizen said, "Although this child may indeed need education, such a public humiliation is too much, and you can choose other ways to teach"; It was also argued that "parents could take a more gentle approach, such as in-depth communication with their children to understand the root cause of the problem, rather than disciplining them in an open way".
In this homeschooling incident, we see a non-traditional form of punishment in which children are made to repent through personal experience. Behind this practice is a strong antipathy and concern for misconduct, as well as an exploration of educational methods. However, it is still worth thinking about whether such an educational method is appropriate and whether it is too drastic.
In general, this family education incident has aroused the thinking and concern of the society. Parents can try a variety of ways when it comes to nurturing their children, but there are various factors that need to be weighed when choosing an educational approach to ensure that the impact on the child is positive and beneficial. In terms of public opinion, appropriate interference should be maintained in family education, which not only protects the rights and interests of children, but also respects the independence of the family.
