Guangxi No.1 Middle School advocates parents to donate money to install air conditioners. Do you think it is reasonable for parents to invest in installing air conditioners in classrooms?
In today's increasingly rich educational resources, we often hear some disputes between schools and parents. A typical example recently is the incident in which parents donated money to install air conditioners in classrooms in Pubei No.4 Middle School, Qinzhou, Guangxi. This incident has aroused widespread concern in society, and it also makes us rethink: Is it reasonable for parents to invest in air-conditioning classrooms?

First of all, from a legal point of view, it is illegal for parents to donate money to install air conditioners. China's "Education Law" clearly stipulates that schools should provide educational facilities and equipment that meet the standards set by the state to ensure students' normal study. Classroom air conditioning belongs to the school's infrastructure, and the school should bear the responsibility of installation and maintenance. Parents donate money to install air conditioners, which actually transfers the responsibility that the school should bear to parents, which is not in compliance with the law.

Secondly, from a fair point of view, it is unreasonable for parents to donate money to install air conditioners. Educational equity is an important cornerstone of social equity, and every student should enjoy equal educational resources. If parents donate money to install air conditioners, it may further widen the gap between the rich and the poor, which is not conducive to the realization of educational equity. It is unfair that students from poor families may be affected because they cannot pay their donations.

Furthermore, from the perspective of education, it is not a good way for parents to donate money to install air conditioners. Education is not only imparting knowledge, but also cultivating students' morality and values. If schools solve infrastructure problems through parents' donations, it may send a wrong message to students: solving problems can depend on others, not on their own efforts. This is not conducive to cultivating students' independent thinking and problem-solving ability.

Finally, from the reality, there are also many problems when parents donate money to install air conditioners. First of all, how to determine the amount of donations? The economic conditions of each family are different. How can we ensure that every family has the ability to donate? Secondly, the use and supervision of donations. How to ensure that all donations are used to install air conditioners instead of being misappropriated or abused? These are all issues that need to be considered.

Generally speaking, it is unreasonable and illegal for parents to chip in to install air conditioners in classrooms. Schools should assume the responsibility of providing a good educational environment, rather than passing the responsibility on to parents. At the same time, we should also be alert to the possible negative effects of this practice, such as affecting educational fairness and transmitting wrong values. It is hoped that the relevant departments can strengthen the supervision of such incidents, safeguard education fairness and protect students' rights and interests.
