To protect minors from teachers' harassment, this new regulation of the Ministry of Education has made many netizens applaud. what do you think?
The Ministry of Education issued the Rules for the Maintenance of Minors' Schools, requiring schools to take necessary measures to prevent and stop teaching staff and other personnel from entering the campus to commit the following acts: falling in love and having sexual relations with students; Indecent behaviors such as touching or deliberately touching specific parts of students' bodies; I like students' flirting, teasing or sexual suggestion. Although, from the perspective of protecting minors, especially from the perspective of "avoiding sexual assault on campus", standardizing teachers' words and deeds is not a new topic. For example, in the red line of teachers' morality in primary and secondary schools and colleges and universities designated by the Ministry of Education before, it was understood as "no unreasonable relationship with students, and no form of molestation or sexual harassment";

But in fact, there are still some institutional defects or vague space. Among them, an important performance is: does the "teacher-student love" on campus also belong to an "unreasonable relationship" and should it be explicitly stopped? In practice, a very clear answer has been lacking for a long time. The Rules for the Maintenance of Schools for Minors emphasizes the need to "prevent and contain the love relationship between faculty and students" and explicitly says "no" to the love between teachers and students, which is also regarded as a kind of behavior similar to paroxysmal love and obscenity that harms students' physical and mental health, and officially falls into the category of "the maintenance of schools for minors".

This undoubtedly not only enriches the connotation of "minor school maintenance", but also helps to fill the gaps in the above system and sort out the relevant vague space. In primary and secondary schools, it is obvious and complete for underage students to understand the rationality and necessity of saying "no" to "love between teachers and students" in the name of "maintaining campus". First of all, it should be noted that in the special field environment of campus, the role relationship between teachers and students is actually in a natural state of inequality and inequality, no matter in the fundamental identity, status and rights, or in the corresponding mental ability and degree. Teachers have some overwhelming absolute power in the practice of students, especially those underage students with immature minds.

Based on the fundamental role relationship between teachers and students, once the "teacher-student love" appears, it will inevitably be a truly equal and innocent emotional relationship, which will easily lead to various behaviors that may seriously harm students' interests and physical and mental health. For example, under the guise of love, teachers use their positions to seek various unreasonable interests, and even take the opportunity to sexually abuse and play with students to satisfy their own selfish desires. According to some surveys, acquaintances account for 70% of juvenile sexual assault cases, among which teachers (including teachers of counseling institutions) account for 40%.

According to the previous survey, regarding the "teacher-student love", 66.8% of the college students surveyed think that there may be unreasonable interest exchange, 45.9% think that it will destroy ethics and the order of teacher-student relationship, and 47.3% agree that "there should be no freedom of love if the rights and interests are not equal". -The "love between teachers and students" on university campuses where most students are adults remains the same, especially in primary and secondary schools with minors as the main body. To take a step back, even if "teacher-student love" is only a simple emotional relationship, from the perspective of the fundamental professional ethics of teachers, "teacher-student love" may also have obvious conflicts with this professional ethics requirement in practice-it may not only obviously damage the professional image of teachers themselves as "teachers", but also further harm the educational fairness of "teaching without distinction" and form an inequality among the originally equal students.

In fact, it is precisely because the harm of "teacher-student love" is obvious that in some countries with developed education, such as the United States and Japan, "teacher-student love" has also been explicitly and severely stopped, not only in primary and secondary schools, but also in universities. Of course, while fully affirming the above-mentioned "rules" that explicitly say "no" to "teacher-student love", we should also see that in order to ensure that this prohibition of "teacher-student love" can be strictly implemented and give full play to its role of "protecting minors", it is necessary to further supplement, refine and improve the relevant systems. For example, how to accurately identify the "teacher-student love"? I'm afraid the requirements will be more clear and detailed, and there will be more ideal operating norms and basis. As we all know, the so-called "love relationship", which is often presented in the name of "personal feelings", is often ambiguous, shady and fraudulent compared with other behaviors with obvious characteristics of illegal contributions, such as obscenity and sexual assault.

Therefore, if there is no clearer, more detailed and more operable identification standard, the communication principles and behavior boundaries between faculty and students can be more scientifically determined, which will inevitably affect the timely and accurate identification of "teacher-student love". On the other hand, from the students' point of view, in order to effectively implement the "teacher-student love" ban, in addition to the ban itself, relevant primary and secondary schools should also strengthen corresponding and more perfect sex education and anti-sexual assault education, so as to improve underage students' understanding and discrimination of unreasonable and unhealthy love and sexual relations such as "teacher-student love", and then actively and blindly resist this knowledge and talent. This is clearly understood in the new version of the Law on the Protection of Minors, which was officially implemented a few days ago. "Schools and kindergartens should carry out sex education suitable for minors, and improve the ability of minors to maintain their knowledge and prevent sexual injuries and sexual harassment."
