Are all these things "ultra vires" by schools or teachers, beyond the boundaries of school education?
At best, these behaviors are home-school interaction, at worst, schools and teachers let parents do what they should do. In recent years, such incidents have aroused the dissatisfaction of many parents.
Why are many parents dissatisfied with schools and teachers now? Another very important aspect is that the boundary between schools and teachers on home-school education is blurred, which leads to contradictions.
Parents often complain: teachers ask parents to check or even correct their children's homework, teachers ask parents to urge their children to recite texts, and so on.
Parents think they are tired after a day's work. When they come back, they will look at their children's homework, correct it and check their recitation. Aren't these all tasks that teachers should complete? When did you become a parent?
Don't say that parents with a little culture can complain about counseling. What should people who have no culture do?
The unclear boundary reflects the real problem.
The parents of a small business were called to school by the teacher to talk, saying that their children's academic performance was poor, they often didn't finish their homework, and the correct rate of homework was low, so they asked their parents to go home and have a good discipline.
Parents complained: "I have a low level of education and can't tutor my children. What can I do if my child does well in school? " We are a small business, busy day and night, and come home late every day. We can't care about children at all! "
Thinking about this parent's words from the educational level at least reflects the following information:
First, school education shifts the responsibility of education to parents. Because it is not the responsibility of parents to help their children with their studies.
Second, it reflects that teachers' education and teaching level is not high, and they can't complete their education and teaching tasks with high quality in school, so they can only put unfinished tasks on their parents. Imagine, would a good teacher do this?
Unclear boundaries, improper cross-border operation, easy to cause trouble.
For example, a school carries out "quality education", arranges children to go home to do housework, and teaches children to wash clothes and cook. Isn't this depriving family education of the task it should undertake?
For another example, some time ago, in the incident of "the teacher took the child to have a haircut and caused the child to commit suicide", was "haircut" the teacher's educational and teaching task? Not to mention the relationship between haircut and children's suicide, it is worth thinking about whether it is necessary to take children to have a haircut.
Conflicts caused by various events even lead to vicious incidents. As an educator, teachers are sometimes really "unclear". This is actually a disaster caused by unclear borders.
Clarifying the boundary can neither "give in" nor "cross the border"
School education and family education are two different concepts. School education is mainly about learning knowledge and cultivating ability, which is the process of children's socialization. Family education is mainly about shaping children's character and quality, which is a personalized process.
Both school education and family education should follow the law of education, but the purpose, method, subject and object of education are different. Only by combining and complementing each other can school education and family education form a better educational environment. However, combination and supplement are not vague boundaries.
Therefore, from all kinds of events, we can draw a correct conclusion. As educators, including teachers, parents and everyone in society, we should learn to keep our educational boundaries rationally and legally, and neither "give in" nor "cross the border", so as to make education more clear and easy to understand, and to create an educational environment for the healthy growth of children.
