How does the school satisfy parents? This requires us to put ourselves in the parents' shoes and consider this question: If you are the parents of students, what are your requirements for the school and how do you want the school to meet them? Parents will be satisfied with the school when we solve the problems that parents expect. Generally speaking, parents expect the following problems in schools:
First, I hope my children can do well in school.
Although quality education is advocated now, the education administrative department no longer emphasizes students' academic performance, nor does it advocate publishing students' examination results. However, parents are particularly concerned about this issue. You don't announce that he wants to know his children's academic performance through various channels, and even take papers from other schools to test his children. This is not because parents don't understand quality education, but because the employment system and further education system of the whole society make parents have to pay attention to this problem. At present, most parents in the country seem to have a unified mode of thinking: let their children go to a good kindergarten-a good primary school-a good junior high school-a good high school-a good university-and find a good job. It can be said that this is the weather vane of society, and schools can't ignore it. Nowadays, it is more difficult for college students to find jobs. As soon as the children go to kindergarten, parents will consider the future employment problem. In the annual government civil service examination, institutions and enterprises with good benefits are one in a hundred, especially in terms of academic qualifications and whether they are key universities. These requirements are very harsh and have played a guiding role in society and parents. Although the existing college enrollment system emphasizes not only the theory of scores, scores still play a decisive role when the degree of social integrity is not very high. Therefore, in this case, it is unrealistic for parents not to pay attention to grades, and schools do not pay attention to teaching results, which is a problem of their own development and survival. Quality education is not about not taking exams, the key is how to take exams and what to take exams. If our exams can guide students' all-round development and focus on examining students' quality and ability, parents will naturally support the school's approach.
In addition, teaching is the central work of the school, which is the basic law of education, because students spend most of their time in the classroom, and the development of students' knowledge, ability and quality is mostly improved through classroom teaching, so it is reasonable to measure teaching quality and pay attention to teaching results. In the curriculum reform of basic education in China, students are mainly evaluated from two aspects: one is the subject learning goal, and the other is the basic development goal. The learning objectives of various disciplines are mainly reflected in the curriculum standards of various disciplines, which are mainly achieved through the three-dimensional goals of knowledge and skills, processes and methods, emotional attitudes and values. Our exams should reflect these ideas and requirements, which are exactly what parents are concerned about.
Second, I hope children have good behavior habits.
Parents not only pay attention to their children's academic performance, but also pay special attention to their behavior habits, such as moral behavior habits, learning behavior habits, life behavior habits and so on. Parents want their children to become adults. Especially in kindergartens and primary schools, there is little pressure to enter higher schools, and various behavioral habits are gradually formed. Parents pay special attention to this problem. Although parents have a great responsibility to cultivate their children's behavior habits, especially moral habits, labor habits and living habits, such as making children respect others, honor their parents and elders, do housework from childhood, pay attention to hygiene, pay attention to economy and so on. Schools play a more important role in this respect. This is because students spend most of the day in school, which is a systematic education with a plan and purpose. Teachers are specially trained professional workers, and the collective life atmosphere of the school also plays a role in urging and encouraging students. Therefore, many parents lament that children listen to their teachers and not their parents. Some children are good students at school, but not at home. What's more, some parents are busy with work and life and have little time to discipline their children. Therefore, the responsibility and role of the school in this regard is particularly important, and parents have more expectations for the school. Some parents find that their children's bad behavior is often attributed to school education. Therefore, parents pay special attention to whether students can develop good behavior habits. In fact, this is also in line with the laws of education. The "basic development goal" of the basic education curriculum reform mentioned earlier includes six aspects: moral quality, civic literacy, learning ability, cooperation and communication, physical education and health, aesthetics and performance. These are all related to students' behavior habits. What's more, the Code of Conduct and the Code of Conduct for Primary and Secondary School Students have clear requirements on students' behavior habits, so parents' expectations are reasonable.
Third, I hope that children have certain abilities and specialties.
Parents not only require their children to have good academic performance and good behavior habits, but also hope that their children can have certain abilities and specialties during school. This is not only because the reform of senior high school entrance examination and college entrance examination in recent years has consciously guided these aspects, but also pays attention to examining students' abilities and specialties in the form and content of the examination. In addition, parents also hope that after their children enter the society in the future, they will increase the weight of competition and have more abilities to give them more competitive opportunities. I hope my children have the ability to cope with a highly competitive society, such as communication and cooperation, and expression. At the same time, I also hope that children can live a happy life in the future and improve their quality of life, such as having a healthy body and sports skills, aesthetic taste and expression ability. Therefore, elective courses and special extracurricular activities offered by some schools are particularly popular with parents. Especially in primary school, there is little pressure for further studies, and parents are particularly concerned about the school's special courses and activities. When choosing a school, they also want to go to a distinctive school.
Fourth, I hope the school has a good teaching staff.
Running a school well requires many conditions, but the key issue is the teaching staff. Why do some newly-built schools have excellent school buildings and teaching facilities, but parents are unwilling to send their children, while some old schools have poor hardware conditions, so parents still try their best to let their children choose schools in these schools? It's important to value the teachers' level in these schools. A few years ago, some famous schools ran private schools and rented school buildings, and the teaching and office conditions were crowded, but parents of students were still willing to spend money to send their children to these schools. Why? Parents value not only the reputation of the school, but also the teachers in these schools. The main difference between schools is not the hardware, but the teachers. In recent years, we have carried out the balanced construction of basic education, invested in some rural schools and weak schools, and greatly improved the school buildings and hardware conditions. However, we found that the imbalance of teachers is an important reason for the imbalance of education. Some key middle schools have more than a dozen in-service special-grade teachers, and some districts and counties have no ten special-grade teachers; Some schools have a large number of senior middle school teachers, and some school teachers are not up to standard in academic qualifications. Some parents send their children to good schools because of these famous teachers. Just like hospitals, with doctors, the number of patients will be full, and some hospitals still have empty advertisements. Now some good schools have promoted the surrounding housing prices, which is the famous school effect and the famous teacher effect. Therefore, how to improve the level of teachers in schools is a problem that parents are particularly concerned about. This is also the key to improve the quality of school education and teaching.
Fifth, I hope to have a good teaching environment and equipment.
Although school buildings, environment and teaching equipment are not the main factors that determine the quality of education, parents pay special attention to the conditions of school buildings and learning environment while paying attention to the above conditions. First, most families are only children now, and their families have a good life. Parents don't want their children to suffer in school, such as classroom equipment, canteen conditions and campus environment, which are all concerned by parents. Parents want their children to live and study in a beautiful, safe and clean school environment. In addition, parents hope that their children's classes are all good students with excellent academic performance, and parents all understand the truth that "when something happens, they can't help themselves" and "those who are near Mexico are black, and those who are near Zhu Zhechi are black". This is the main reason why some parents choose good schools and classes for their children. Parents believe that children will not learn badly in an environment with good school spirit and positive class spirit; On the contrary, in a bad environment, children are easy to get into some bad habits, and good children are easy to get bad. So parents not only care about the hard environment of the school, but also care about the soft environment of the school.
