Recently, the incident of prohibiting college students from installing bed curtains in dormitories has rushed to the hot search.
It is understood that many schools, such as Xinjiang Medical University, Northwest University for Nationalities, and Henan Nanyang Normal University, have explicitly prohibited hanging bed curtains in dormitories.
Why has the bed circumference in the dormitory become an 'invisible wall' for potential safety hazards and interpersonal communication?
The reasons given by the schools are roughly as follows:
- Bed curtains are a safety hazard. As a kind of cloth or plastic shield, the bed curtain can easily be ignited and become a medium for the acceleration of the fire.
- The bed curtain obstructs the examination. When the dormitory manager inspects the hygiene and facilities of the dormitory, it is troublesome to have to open the curtains frequently. In addition, if a student has a sudden illness or emergency, the bed curtain will hinder timely detection and first aid, etc.
- Bed curtains affect student health. Hanging a curtain on the bed will cause poor air circulation and bacteria growth, etc., and turning on the air conditioner in summer and heating in winter will hinder air circulation. In addition, if the material is not good, the body will be affected over time.
- Bed curtains hinder the communication of feelings between students. The dormitory is not only a place to rest, but also a place to exchange feelings, one by one hanging the bed curtains to form an invisible wall, immersed in their own small world, easy to lead to interpersonal tension, and even cause conflicts.
A few reasons, which seem to make a lot of sense, see what netizens say?
Support: For the sake of everyone's safety, students should be forbidden to sleep in beds, everyone should sleep standing, and for safety, they can't sleep together, everyone takes turns to sleep better!
Support: This kind of regulation everywhere, under the guise of "for your good" paternalistic style, seems to be conscientious, but in fact it is suspected of lazy government. Is it normal for banks to be afraid that you will be scammed and not let you withdraw your money?
Support: I'm weird, I'm in my 20s, can't I have a little privacy? Anyway, hang the bed curtains, feel safe, and sleep soundly
Support: In the future, when my child goes to college, I will not only make her a bed curtain, but I will also make her an independent kingdom.
Support: The sheets, bedding, and clothes on the bed are all flammable, so should they be banned together?
Support: Today's social development is basically very information-based and transparent, and the mobile phone camera can be turned on at any time, which is easy to involve privacy issues
Against: Our student apartment, a building with more than 2,000 students, is on fire 2 times a year on average, if the school doesn't care about hanging bed curtains or smoking in the dormitory, who will be responsible for the accident
If you were living in a college dormitory now, would you choose to hang?
Central media: The root cause of this "bed curtain dispute" lies in the mismatch between management concepts and students' needs
If the school blindly tries to do it for your own good, it seems to be doing its job, but it does not solve the root problem. The fundamental purpose of university education is to "become adults", to cultivate students to think independently and act independently, and schools and teachers cannot just provide nanny education.
Under the premise of ensuring the safety of students, it is necessary to give students appropriate freedom and development space.
