If it hadn't been reported by the Xinhua News Agency, who would have thought that an ordinary skipping rope would be sold for a high price of 78 yuan in Hangzhou's primary and secondary schools? What is going on? Could it be that this skipping rope has any special function, or is it of particularly good quality? The answer is no. This Hengyou brand skipping rope has no special function, the material is ordinary, and the cost is even lower. So why can it be sold at such a high price? The reason is very simple, because it is the designated rope for the Hangzhou high school entrance examination.
What is even more unacceptable is that this skipping rope is not suitable for primary and secondary school students. The physical education teacher reflected that this skipping rope is designed according to adult standards, and it is too heavy for primary and secondary school students to jump at all. However, what everyone could not have imagined was that the local education department was the initiator of the designation of a special skipping rope, implying or asking students and parents to buy it. Doesn't this kind of behavior infringe on the right of choice and bargaining power of students and parents?
In fact, as long as you search a little on the online shopping platform, you can know that an ordinary skipping rope with digital display is mostly 20-30 yuan, and some of the high sales can even be bought in single digits. At the same time, on the online shopping platform, after this incident was reported, there were still skipping ropes with the words "designated for the exam" on sale. It is understood that the cost of the 78 Hengyou brand Hangzhou high school entrance examination special skipping rope is less than 10 yuan, which is still not digital, and the digital display function is sold for 148 yuan. It's just that the skipping rope is not so easy to hold in the hands of the students.
The relevant person in charge of the education department in Hangzhou said that they are reflecting and considering allowing students to bring their own skipping ropes to take the exam. However, is it too late for such a reflection to be made? How ridiculous is it that an obviously unreasonable thing can exist in a grand manner for more than ten years? Moreover, the manufacturer of this skipping rope sells more than 100,000 pieces of this skipping rope in physical stores in Zhejiang every year, and it is very profitable. Does this mean that the so-called bidding is just a formality, and the real purpose is to make the producer profit?
At this point, we can't help but ask, what is the fairness of education? Why do parents have to pay for such unreasonable designations? Why does the education department pass on the cost of public services to parents? Does this mean that in the eyes of some people, education is only the maximization of commercial interests, not for the all-round development of students?
For this incident, netizens have said that their local schools have a similar situation, for the sake of their children's test results, 79 eyebrow pencils do not buy a special skipping rope designated for the exam. Everyone believes that this skipping rope should be prepared by the school when students take exams, and it will not become a burden on students' parents.
As we all know, equity in education is an important cornerstone of social equity. We hope that the education department in Hangzhou will truly reflect on and abolish this unreasonable designation rope, so that students and parents can have a real choice, so that education can return to fairness and justice. We hope that this revelation will alert other areas and schools that have similar situations, and if they do not, they will be encouraged and rectified immediately. It's not easy for everyone to make money, what do you think about this event? Follow me and update the social information at any time.
