Now, because of the unreasonable entanglement of parents, schools often become unlimited liability companies. As long as the child has an accident at school, as long as the parents make a fuss, the school must bend down to the parents, apologize, and even come up with a sum of money to calm the parents' anger.
Such a situation is not conducive to the image and development of the school, but in many cases, the school seems to have no second way to go except to choose to accept. Although the school wants to get rid of this shadow, this shadow is always around the school like a ghost, but it cannot be removed.
No, one evening this year, Xiao Xu, a sixth-grade student of a primary school in Jiangsu Province, broke a tooth after school, and his parents competed with the school and demanded 90,000 yuan in compensation from the school. What's going on?
At the end of the evening, students go downstairs in a line of boys and girls, with teachers next to them. While the students were descending from the third floor to the second floor, Xiao Xu, who was at the back of the line, accidentally fell down on the staircase steps. He fell to the corner of the landing in the stairwell, his teeth hitting the wall.
When the teacher who led the team found out that there was an accident, he immediately notified the parents and accompanied them to the hospital as soon as possible. After examination by the doctors at the hospital, it was found that one tooth was broken and the lip was bruised and bruised.
Xiao Xu's family believes that their child fell during the school day, and the school has a problem with the child's safety and has poor supervision, and must compensate the child for his injury.
Xiao Xu's family believes that although the medical expenses only cost 633.07 yuan, the follow-up treatment costs, especially the implant of a tooth, will cost about 30,000 yuan, which is a large expense, in addition to transportation expenses, lost work expenses, mental losses and other losses must also be considered. After such calculations, they finally came up with the final amount of compensation of 80,000 yuan.
But the school does not accept such blackmail, they think that it is completely out of nowhere, they have not done a good job, and let parents blackmail like this, there is no bottom line.
The school believes that it has carried out normalized safety warning education for students before and after class, and has repeatedly emphasized "going up and down stairs and walking in order". The stairs and other school facilities have passed the qualified acceptance of the higher authorities, and there are no defects that caused Xiao Xu's injury.
The school believes that it has fulfilled its responsibility of education management, and Xiao Xu's injury is caused by himself and has nothing to do with the school. Not to mention the loss of 80,000 yuan, even if it is only one yuan, the school will not pay.
After several rounds of communication between parents and the school, they could not reach an agreement, and in a fit of anger, the parents chose to go to court with the school.
The court inspected the scene of the accident and used VR technology to reconstruct the scene of the accident. The school combined VR to explain the location of the leading teacher at the time of the incident, the process of Xiao Xu's fall, and the process of the leading teacher at the scene of the incident to deal with the accident at the first time. Although Xiao Xu's father said that the school should be responsible, he could not say why the school should be responsible.
The court held that the school had fully fulfilled its responsibilities - the "Special Education Record Sheet" provided by the school stated that the school would carry out safety and health education every week; The staircase at the site of the incident has a clear yellow and black dividing line between the upper and lower sides, and eye-catching safety reminder signs are posted on many steps and walls, fulfilling the school's educational responsibilities.
The VR restoration of the accident scene, the results of the on-site investigation and the testimony of the students all proved that Xiao Xu's fall injury was not a problem with the stairs and other facilities. And after Xiao Xu was injured, the school notified the parents in time and immediately sent him to the hospital without the slightest delay, indicating that the school has fulfilled its management responsibilities.
The court held that if the school fulfilled its educational and management duties, there was no fault and should not bear tort liability. In the end, the court rejected Xiao Xu's father's claim.
Seeing such a verdict, many netizens expressed their support for the court's verdict -
"This is what the rule of law should look like, and you can't let schools and teachers take the blame at every turn."
"People who have judged well finally realized that when something happens, regardless of whether the school is responsible or not, the idea of losing money will suffocate education."
"This is the true rule of law, where judges should support the righteous side when deciding cases, and support initiatives that are good for society and the future of the country."
"There is justice at all. Parents now have the awareness that if a student has an accident (including outside the school), they must seek compensation from the school. ”
This penalty can be said to be worthy of affirmation. If a student has an accident at school, if it is the responsibility of the school, then it should be the responsibility of the school; Instead of school responsibility, the basin should not be put on the head of the school – it is necessary and deserved.
Dear readers, what do you want to say about the fact that the student broke a tooth when he went down the stairs and the parents claimed 80,000 yuan, which was rejected by the court? Everyone is welcome to leave a message and discuss.
