In a middle school in Hunan, a middle school principal did an "incredible" thing in the canteen to prevent students from wasting food.
This incident also pushed him to the forefront of public opinion: Do we need to educate our children?
In order to put an end to waste, the headmaster of Hunan ate up the leftovers of students in the canteen, which caused controversy: why not improve the food?
As we all know, many children will choose to have lunch in the canteen after they go to middle school.
But now many school canteens are facing a very common problem, that is, students lack the awareness of saving and waste food when eating.
At home, parents will still supervise their children, but in the school canteen, most children lack restraint and the food in the canteen is not to the taste, so it is even more difficult to want a "CD".
In this regard, the headmaster of Yongzhou Middle School in Hunan decided to set an example for the children with practical actions. When the students were eating, he squatted beside the garbage can where the leftovers were dumped in the canteen. Whenever he sees the unfinished food on the students' plates, he will persuade them to finish it and not to waste it.
Even when the students are puzzled, the headmaster will take the plates in the students' hands and eat the leftovers in public.
Principals are so "frugal", do students still have the face to waste?
A few days after the headmaster set an example, the waste situation in the school canteen has been greatly improved. Many children can't bear to see the headmaster eat leftovers, so they try to eat as much as possible and strive for "CDs"
Originally, it was a positive behavior, but after this incident was exposed, many netizens began to question the headmaster's practice and thought that instead of staring at the students, it was better to find ways to improve the food in the canteen.
Some people even questioned that the headmaster's eating leftovers was hype and unsanitary.
Some netizens support the headmaster, thinking that he is not afraid of being dirty or too dirty, and tell the students what "cherishing food" is with his own practical actions.
Even if it is a show, such behavior is worth promoting, at least let some young people know that waste is a shameful behavior.
In addition, as a principal, it takes a lot of courage to eat students' leftovers in front of so many people, which shows that the principal has no antipathy to students.
Is it necessary for us to set an example of saving education for our children?
The headmaster can't help but remind people of a Chengdu father and son who used to eat in the cafeteria.
In the video, the father took his son to eat in a cafeteria. In order to show that he can eat very much, his son kept putting vegetables on the table, and soon the table was full.
At this time, the father told his son to take as much as he could and not to waste it. If he can't finish it, he won't take him out next time.
The son played a narrow-minded role at first sight. When his father got up and left, he emptied all the food on the table into the trash can. When his father came back, he lied about eating all the food he brought back.
The father glanced at the trash can and saw through his son's tricks. Next, the father went through the trash can, grabbed the food left by his son and swallowed it in one gulp.
The son was shocked by this scene and quickly stopped his father from eating: stop eating, these are dirty and can't be eaten!
But dad didn't stop. He took this opportunity to educate his children that food is hard to come by. Every meal can't be wasted. You should follow the principle of "take as much as you eat" when eating buffet.
Indeed, both the headmaster who eats leftovers and the father who picks up food from the garbage can understand the importance of "setting an example" in educating children.
So when people question whether it is necessary to educate children in this "disgusting" way, the answer is obvious: of course.
The core of example power is not to cater to the public's tastes everywhere, but to let children think, realize and awaken in the words and deeds of their elders.
