There is a news that many people are very concerned about, that is, the price of skipping rope for the high school entrance examination has risen very much. Why is it that an ordinary skipping rope can be sold for such a high price of 158 yuan? Is there anything special about this skipping rope? Today, let's explore this issue together to see what secrets are hidden behind it, and what kind of impact this has had on our fair access to education.
In many places, similar situations have happened. Behind this, it often involves the "little secret" between the education department and some skipping rope manufacturers. Sometimes, in order to facilitate management and assessment, the education department will designate a certain brand of skipping rope as a special rope for the high school entrance examination. This designation is usually mandatory, and the school will require students and parents to purchase this jump rope. In this way, those designated skipping rope manufacturers can easily occupy the market and achieve monopoly operation.
As a result of the monopoly, the price of skipping ropes is getting higher and higher, but consumers have no other choice. In order for their children to get good results in the high school entrance examination, students and parents can only grit their teeth and buy this expensive skipping rope. This kind of forced consumption behavior makes many people feel very unfair.
What is even more worrying is that this market monopoly has a serious negative impact on our educational equity. Educational equity means that every child should have an equal opportunity to receive a good education. However, when skipping rope for the high school entrance examination became a cash cow for some manufacturers, educational fairness was broken.
The high price of skipping ropes has brought a lot of financial pressure to many families. For some families with poor economic conditions, buying this skipping rope may be a big expense. They may feel that their child has lost at the starting line from the beginning, and this sense of unfairness makes them very uncomfortable.
Market monopolies also limit our options. In the case of monopoly, we can only buy those designated jump ropes, and cannot choose other brands according to our preferences and needs. This restriction makes us feel very uncomfortable and reduces the competitiveness and vitality of the market.
Market monopolies can also breed corruption. When there is an exchange of interests between the education department and the manufacturer, it is easy to have corrupt phenomena such as power-for-money transactions and power rent-seeking. This not only undermines the reputation and credibility of the education sector, but also undermines the fairness and fairness of education.
Faced with the problem of soaring prices of special ropes for skipping ropes for the high school entrance examination, we must take action to solve it. First of all, the education department should strengthen the supervision of the skipping rope market for the high school entrance examination, break the monopoly situation, and allow more brands and manufacturers to participate in the competition. In this way, the price of skipping rope will come down, and we will have more options.
The education sector should also strengthen the management of schools and teachers by prohibiting them from forcing or implying that students buy designated skipping ropes. At the same time, schools should also communicate more with students and parents, so that they understand that it is not necessary to buy a special rope for the high school entrance examination, and they can choose according to their actual situation.
We also need to strengthen social supervision and public opinion supervision. For the phenomenon of soaring prices of special ropes for skipping ropes in the high school entrance examination, we must dare to expose and criticize. Through the power of public opinion, we will promote relevant departments to strengthen supervision and governance, and maintain the fairness of education and the order of the market.
The soaring price of special ropes for skipping ropes in the high school entrance examination is a microcosm of the challenge to educational fairness under the market monopoly. We need to face up to this problem and take practical and effective measures to solve it. Only in this way can we ensure that every child has equal access to educational resources and opportunities, and achieve true educational equity.
In addition to the issues mentioned above, there are some specific details that we need to focus on. For example, some schools will organize rope skipping competitions, but only designated skipping ropes are allowed. In this way, those students who did not purchase the designated skipping rope could not participate in the competition, which was undoubtedly a deprivation of their rights.
In order to let their children get good results in the high school entrance examination, some parents will blindly pursue the so-called "special rope for the high school entrance examination", thinking that this kind of skipping rope can improve their children's skipping rope performance. But in reality, the improvement of skipping performance mainly depends on the child's practice and technique, not the skipping rope itself. Therefore, parents should be rational when buying skipping ropes and do not blindly follow the trend.
Let them understand that it is not necessary to buy a special rope for the high school entrance examination, and they can choose according to their actual situation and needs. At the same time, we also encourage students and parents to participate in more physical activities to improve their physical fitness and skipping skills, rather than relying only on buying expensive skipping ropes.
Equity in education is an important cornerstone of our social development. We can't let market monopolies undermine this cornerstone. We need to work together to maintain educational fairness and market order by strengthening supervision, introducing competition, and strengthening educational guidance. Only in this way can we create a fairer and better educational environment for every child.
