This school is in a remote place in Guizhou, not in any big city. More than 90% of the students are left-behind children, and their parents are working outside. These children lack parental discipline. They have not yet established a mature outlook on life, values and aesthetic concepts. It is at a critical moment of growth, and it is very necessary for someone to guide it correctly.
The video of the teacher carrying a bucket to remove makeup from students spread quickly on the Internet, causing many people to watch. The school responded that the reason why the bucket at the school gate was removed was because it was responsible for the students.
Indeed, students should look like students. No matter which school, middle school students are not allowed to wear heavy makeup to school. Students concentrate on reading, and makeup will distract them.
They are too young to establish a correct aesthetic concept, thinking that wearing heavy makeup is beauty. There is nothing wrong with school teachers intervening. Especially when parents are not around, teachers are very concerned about them.
And they certainly don't need particularly expensive cosmetics, and they don't even know the importance of makeup removal. Make-up will do great harm to the skin. In the long run, delicate skin will age early, clog pores and lead to acne.
I believe that when they grow up and understand and find that their skin is not bad because they started wearing heavy makeup early, they will thank the teacher for removing makeup.
However, it is impolite to carry a bucket at the school gate and remove makeup from so many female students. It is disrespectful to girls' self-esteem and not so hygienic. Although the intention of the school is good, we can choose a better way to solve this problem.
Educating students should also consider their self-esteem and be more humane, instead of simply and rudely making a fool of themselves in public. This seems to solve the problem of makeup, but it will also cause other psychological problems.
