When the first rays of sunlight in the morning have not completely dispelled the chill of night, a unique "trend" has quietly surged in the streets and alleys of the city - the "pick-up tide" of students going to school. Parents rode electric scooters or private cars on the road to the school, forming a large "escort" team, adding to the already busy city traffic. This phenomenon has undoubtedly become the focus of heated discussions in the current society, and has also attracted the attention and criticism of experts.
Why is there such a "wave of pick-ups"? What kind of social phenomena and educational problems are hidden behind this?
First of all, we have to admit that the "escort" behavior of parents is more out of concern and concern for the safety of their children. In today's complex and ever-changing social environment, parents are afraid that their children will encounter accidents and worry that they will be harmed on the road. This worry stems from the fear of the unknown world and the expectation of the child's future. However, is excessive "escorting" really good for the child's development?
Experts have harshly criticized this. They believe that this "wave of pick-up" will make children lose their independence and autonomy, and cannot develop the courage and ability to deal with difficulties and challenges. Children grow up under the care of their parents, just like flowers in a greenhouse, once they leave the greenhouse, it is difficult to adapt to the wind and rain outside. This kind of education method is undoubtedly burying hidden dangers for children's future.
However, how should parents respond to such criticism? Are they really willing to give up the "escort" of their children?
In fact, the feelings of parents are understandable. They choose "escorts" because they are afraid. Fear that the child will be hurt, fear that the child will be wronged, and fear that the child will lose his future. This fear stems from their deep love for their children. They are willing to give everything for their children, including their own time and energy. However, should they also think about whether such dedication is really conducive to the growth of children?
Perhaps, we can look at this from another angle. Parents can try to let their children face some difficulties and challenges on their own, so that they can learn to be independent and autonomous. This is not to say that children should be left alone, but that they should be given the necessary support and help at the right time. For example, on the way to and from school, parents can walk with their children for a while and then let them walk the rest of the way on their own. This will ensure your child's safety and allow them to learn to be independent.
At the same time, schools and society should provide more safety and support for children. For example, strengthen safety management around the campus, increase traffic warning signs and monitoring equipment; Strengthen safety education for students and improve their awareness and ability to protect themselves. Only in this way can children grow up in a safe and healthy environment.
The emergence of the phenomenon of "pick-up and drop-off" is not only a social phenomenon, but also an educational problem. It has both the rationality of its existence and its potential harm. We need to look at this problem from multiple angles and find a solution to the problem. At the same time, we also need to reflect on our own education methods and think about how we can really benefit the development of children.
Finally, I would like to conclude this article with a quote: "The purpose of education is not to cultivate flowers in a greenhouse, but to cultivate towering trees that can withstand wind and rain." "Let's work together to create a better future for our children!
