With the rapid development of the times, people's living standards have also changed greatly, and parents have also paid more attention to cultivating students, hoping to enable students to receive better education and thinking, and even derived the "chicken baby" mentality, and made the "involution" more and more intense.
When the older generation of parents cultivate their children, the main focus is a "selfless dedication", they would rather suffer a little harder, but also let their children enjoy a better life, and modern parents receive better educational resources, the education of the next generation of children, is also more than that, smashing the pot and selling iron also to let students "win at the starting line"!
From the study tours and research activities that have emerged in various places in recent years, it can also be seen that parents are no longer satisfied with letting students attend training classes and make-up classes, but pursue a higher level of research, aiming to allow students to better increase their knowledge, broaden their horizons and patterns, and improve their comprehensive quality in the way of tourism.
And this also gives some institutions an opportunity to provide short-term travel services for students and parents under the guise of "public welfare teaching", but when teaching is mixed with commercialization, it becomes a "business", and even is regarded as a "shortcut" by some people, is there any meaning in changing the flavor of "volunteer teaching"?
The children in the city spent more than 10,000 yuan on tourism to teach, and the money was really moving!
Travel, for many families are no strangers, even if there is no time to travel abroad, but the surrounding travel is also very common, especially taking advantage of the students' holidays, many parents have taken time to accompany students to a short-term trip, and some parents sign up for students to study groups, or in the name of "teaching" tour groups.
However, the price of these tour groups is not low, most of the itinerary is about 7 days, but the registration fee is as high as more than 10,000 yuan, the location covers the backward mountainous areas in China, orphanages, etc., such as public welfare education, animal protection, etc., or popular foreign resort areas, such as Thailand, Bali and so on.
It's just that the children in the city spend more than 10,000 yuan to travel and teach, go to the mountains to play for a few days, and when they come back, they can get a good reputation of "participating in public welfare teaching", and they can also add points to their resumes, and if they go abroad, they can also be "gilded" and apply for foreign schools.
In the name of obligation, but in essence it is a business, so it is no wonder that it is called a "volunteer education" that has changed its taste, and what is the meaning and benefit to the children in the mountainous areas?
They just regard the teaching as a play and tourism, come and stay for a few days, pat their buttocks and leave, leaving behind "chicken feathers", and from the perspective of children in the mountainous areas, they are not even familiar with people, so how can they talk about listening carefully to lectures and learning knowledge?
In addition, some institutions will provide students with relevant certificates, listing many "benefits", which means that students can obtain higher "gold content" for future studies and study abroad through volunteer teaching activities, but whether there is really gold content is not verifiable and doubtful.
Although there is a demand, there will be a market, but when teaching becomes a kind of "business", people can't help but sigh: Sure enough, money is moving! Training institutions can obviously make money openly, but it is really outrageous to turn good public welfare teaching into a "business"!
The key is that there are still many parents "buying", although the parents' original intention and intention is good, but if you encounter a bad organization, it will inevitably appear "spend money to buy sin" situation, maybe it will be a waste of time and energy, it is better to lead your children to travel, but also to have a deeper understanding of local culture and customs!
Is it meaningful to go on a volunteer trip? Parents need to keep their eyes peeled
"Read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles" is also the good expectation of many parents for students, and the meaning of travel is naturally needless to say, and the teaching trip is also meaningful, but the premise is to find a reliable research institution, so that students can experience the true meaning of teaching, rather than treating it as "child's play".
Parents also need to stay sober, don't be confused by the words of the institution, and when spending a lot of money but getting nothing, the student's experience will be very poor, and maybe they will be resistant and bored.
Moreover, parents also need to "shop around" and try to choose more meaningful volunteer teaching trips, rather than rushing for quick success, or wanting to "take shortcuts", etc., most of them will also "step on the pit".
Parents also need to establish a more correct three views and thinking for students, understand the true meaning of volunteer teaching activities, and gain more profound truths and experiences from them, not just "go through the motions".
Written at the end: the educational resources in big cities are very rich, but the educational resources in remote mountainous areas are very scarce, although the teaching activities of some institutions can drive the local economic and educational development, but in the final analysis, teaching is not a "business", but don't let education be contaminated with "copper smell"!
