After-school service is a free childcare service provided by the school for students after school in the afternoon, aiming to promote the all-round development of students and solve the problem of parent pick-up and drop-off. However, in practice, after-school services in some places have gone sour, causing dissatisfaction among students, parents and teachers.
First of all, after-school services should be an enjoyable time for students to participate in a variety of interesting activities and develop their interests and strengths. However, in some places, after-school services have been reduced to a tool for "make-up classes", and students are forced to participate and lose their original meaning. This not only increases the burden on students, but also makes them lose interest in school.
Secondly, for parents, after-school services should be an opportunity to reduce the burden and allow children to be cared for at school while also saving time and energy. However, in some places, after-school services have problems such as arbitrary fees and low quality, which make parents complain.
Finally, for teachers, after-school service is an opportunity to showcase their talents and use their strengths and professional skills to provide better services to students. However, after-school services in some places have problems such as heavy workload and low salary, which makes teachers feel dissatisfied and stressed.
Therefore, in order to solve these problems, it is recommended that schools re-examine the aims and objectives of after-school services, truly understand the real needs of students, parents and teachers, and take effective measures to improve them. At the same time, the government and the education sector should also strengthen the supervision and management of after-school services to ensure their quality and equity.
In short, the "after-school service" should be valued and improved. The voices of students, parents and teachers should be listened to and respected, and together they should create a healthy and harmonious school environment.
