Field witness
Playing cards in the shop
Venue: Dachong Primary School
At about 4 pm on March 2, the reporter went to Dachong Primary School near Tonggu Road in Nanshan District. At this time, it is school time, and many parents have already waited at the school gate. At 4: 10, the reporter saw that parents and students had already filled the entire Tonggu Road, and many passing vehicles had to stop temporarily.
After 20 minutes, the outside of the school gate slowly returned to calm, but there were still 10 more than seven or eight-year-old children carrying schoolbags, playing together, and then dangling around the school gate. A junior high school student told reporters that his family lives far away, and his mother picks him up every day and can't arrive until half an hour later. After a while, the reporter saw three students running to a small hardware store two or three hundred meters away to play cards. According to the owner of the surrounding shops, the school closes at 4 pm. At this time, parents are at work, there is no one at home, and the children have nowhere to go.
Play football in the street.
Venue: Jinglong Primary School
At 4: 30 pm on March 3, hundreds of people were waiting to pick up their children at the entrance of Jinglong Primary School. The reporter saw that almost all the people present were old people or nannies.
Grandma Wang, who lives in Xinshi Village, told the reporter: "Although she is close to home, her 10-year-old grandson is extremely naughty. If she doesn't pick him up, she will be worried and he won't come back to do her homework. "
At 5 o'clock, the students after school poured out in batches. The reporter saw that more than half of the children went home with their schoolbags. They walked back in groups while playing.
After 5 o'clock, the number of people at the school gate began to decrease, and students who were not answered got together to play. Business in the small shops around the school began to improve. In a small shop in the north of Jing Tian market, the reporter saw seven or eight students buying fish eggs, milk tea, dried fish and other snacks to eat. In front of the Lotus Sub-district Office, three primary school students are playing football on the sidewalk. They often kick the ball onto the road. Cars coming and going are very dangerous. On the road on the west side of Jinghua Garden, several pupils are walking and reading comic books, while two younger ones are playing checkers. The reporter saw one of the little fat people with a key around his neck and asked him, "Don't you go home after school?" He said, "There is no one at home. It's boring to go back. Mom and dad won't go home until 7 o'clock. "
Sneak into the internet cafe to play games.
Venue: Luoling Foreign Language Experimental School
At 4: 30 pm on March 3, the reporter waited at the gate of Luoling Foreign Language Experimental School. School is almost over, and parents are coming to pick up their children. An official who asked not to be named told reporters that he "slipped" out of the unit to pick up the children and bring them back to the unit until he got off work at 6 o'clock and went home together. Another parent in the same situation said that he also knew that it was wrong to pick up children at work, but there was no way. You can't let the children wait outside from 4: 30 until after 6: 00.
According to parents, if you pick up your children from school, it will definitely affect your work; Instead, let the children wait at the school gate for more than an hour, not afraid that the children will play accidents everywhere; If you let your child go home by himself, the child is too young to be at ease.
The reporter saw at the scene that many students were not picked up after school at 4: 30. Some play at the school gate, and some sneak into the nearby Internet cafes to play games.
A parent told reporters that many students have neither family members to pick them up nor custody, mainly because their families are close, and their parents are dual-employed, so that their children can go home by themselves. The children ran in groups in the alley, unaware of the traffic. Although most companies have the opportunity to slow down, there are also many drivers of pickup trucks and vans who are eager to whistle and drive by as fast as usual, which makes people sweat for their children.
The parent said that after school, the classrooms, playgrounds and many facilities in the school were idle. According to the actual situation, can you find some good ways that don't embarrass schools and teachers and don't charge too much, make full use of these facilities, cultivate children's hobbies, do a good job in their studies and reassure parents?
Parents' reaction
Ms. Wang: Take 40 minutes off every day to pick up the children.
At the gate of Jinglong Primary School, the reporter interviewed Ms. Wang who was waiting for her children. She said that her parents-in-law went back to their hometown in 2008, but she hasn't returned to Shenzhen yet. It is a big problem to pick up and drop off children every day now. My daughter has just entered the first grade, and going home alone makes her very uneasy. My husband is a civil servant working in Baoan District, so he can't come back to pick up the children. She works in a hospital and can't get off work until after 6 pm. These days, she takes 40 minutes every day to pick up the children. She said that she had called several domestic companies, and there was a shortage of nannies and hourly workers. I really hope to set up a "4: 30 school" nearby, so that children can do their homework and wait for their parents to pick them up after work.
Mr. Wang: It's uncomfortable to leave the child at home alone.
Mr. Wang, who lives in Baishizhou, told reporters that parents really feel inconvenient now that their children are out of school at 4 pm. Mr. Wang said that he works in Baoan Shajing and his wife works in Nantou. It was past 6 o'clock when he got home, and the time from 4 o'clock to 6 o'clock became a blank spot. The child has just come from Hubei. He is only seven years old. He is very naughty, and he is uneasy to stay at home alone. Mr. Wang said that he was really racking his brains for this matter.
Mr. Song: It's a good idea to run a "4: 30 school"
Mr. Song, who lives in Meishan Garden, said that there is a "4: 30 school" in Meilin Village, and the children feel much more at ease after entering. In the past, children used to watch TV or play computer when they came home, and sometimes they would hang out together, which was a waste of time and unsafe. Now the teacher is in charge, and the scores of safety, English and mathematics are higher than before. He believes that running a "4: 30 school" is an effective way to solve students' after-school problems and is worth popularizing.
Ministry of education statement
Students' class hours
No more than six hours a day.
A person in charge of the Nanshan District Education Bureau Office told the reporter that according to the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Education, primary school students should not spend more than 6 hours in school every day. Generally speaking, you can finish school around 3 pm, and most schools finish school around 4 pm. However, after the implementation of the "one-fee system", all kinds of "trusteeship" classes previously offered by schools were basically cancelled in primary and secondary schools and operated by the society, resulting in another drawback. Generally, this kind of custody class charges 300 yuan to 500 yuan for one month. Some trusteeship classes gather a dozen students in a small room. The house and food hygiene are poor, and the safety of students is worrying.
Baoan District Wen Ya Community
Neighborhood committees set up free "4: 30 school"
(Shenzhen Business Daily reporter Hao correspondent) Primary school students in Xin 'an Street Community in Bao 'an District no longer have to huddle in the school reception room or lie prone on park benches to do their homework after school in the afternoon. The reporter saw in the neighborhood committee of Wen Ya community that more than a dozen children of grade two or three were doing their homework in the free "4: 30 after school" class run by the neighborhood committee. Children say that this has become their "second class" after school.
Lin Tieming, director of Wen Ya Neighborhood Committee, told reporters that there are hundreds of primary school students in this community. In the past, I often saw children in many communities wandering around after school, and some sat on the roadside doing homework in twos and threes, which made people sad. There happens to be a tutor center in the community. After many discussions, I tried to open such a free "4: 30 School", which was warmly welcomed by parents.
Yuan Fei, the principal, said that there are nearly 50 students, all of whom are children of neighborhood committees and are attending primary schools. Every day, the school sends special teachers to Jian 'an Primary School and Hongya Primary School nearby to pick up students for self-study in several classrooms of "4: 30 School", and the children do their homework and attend self-study under the guidance of the teachers. At half past six, parents take their children home.
Meilinyi village
Training institutions set foot in student trusteeship
This newspaper (Shenzhen Business Daily reporter Huang Qingshan) launched a "4: 30 School" enrollment banner after a training center entered Meilin Village Community Cultural and Sports Center, aiming at students who left school in the afternoon near Meiyuan Primary School.
Teacher Chen of "4: 30 School" introduced that the school is actually a training point. It opened in February last year, and the students are not bad. Now we have recruited a class with more than 30 students, who are specialized in recruiting students from grade one to grade three, with a monthly income of 180 yuan. Now the parents who live nearby have come to consult and plan to run another class next month.
