Where did all the pupils' money go?
■ I want everything you have. Whoever is the most expensive has the most "style"

■ Some primary school students actually played a "gambling" game.

■ More than 20% of children want to be paid for housework.

Recently, many parents of primary school students in Nanchang reported that their children spend too much money, with an average of four or five hundred yuan a month. Where did all this money go? Parents said it was not clear. To this end, the reporter recently interviewed and investigated the pocket money consumption of primary school students. The survey results show that 60% students spend most of their money on "eating" and "playing", and only a small part of their money is spent on "studying".

■ Compare consumption and see who has more "style"

65438+2 pm on June 6 is the peak time for students to attend classes. The reporter came to the entrance of Ai Guo Road Primary School. Here, the reporter saw that many students did not rush to school, but went to the nearby department store to buy things. The reporter walked into one of the department stores and saw that the students were not buying school supplies at all, but spending money to play a game where they could win prizes by pulling open the shell with their hands. The reporter saw that the game was arranged on a wooden frame about one meter long and one meter wide. There are many matchbox-sized squares on the frame, and a piece of white paper is stuck on each square. Students pay, poke one of the squares casually, and they will get a small ornament in the square. The owner, Ms. Chen, told the reporter that she didn't know the name of the game, but the nearby department store had fifty cents, and all of them had prizes. Students especially like to play this game in groups. At most, her shop attracted more than 40 students. The reporter stood by and saw a primary school student give Ms. Zhang a 1 yuan coin, so she opened one of the small squares with her hand, which contained a bracelet woven with red rope. The student didn't think it was funny, so he threw it on the table and poked a small square, this time in the shape of a plastic toy. The students left contentedly. The reporter asked the primary school students who came to play this game, do you think it is fun? "Well, it's not fun." The pupil replied childishly, "I only want the toy shape inside, and all the students in our class have it." If I don't have them, I will lose face! " "

At the gate of this primary school, the reporter also noticed that many students were holding "noodles", "vegetarian chicken" and "hot dogs" in their hands. Student Li Li (all the students' names used in this article are pseudonyms to protect the privacy of minors) told reporters that buying snacks is a "fashion" for students. Whoever buys the most expensive snacks has the most "style", and sometimes the snacks you buy can be exchanged with your classmates. This is called eating "a hundred meals". Li Li's coherent remarks made reporters laugh and cry.

Subsequently, the reporter also came to the gates of Hongdu Primary School, Beihu Primary School and Zhang Yu Primary School, but the situation here is the same as that of Ai Guo Road Primary School. Students seem to be used to spending their pocket money on "eating" and "playing".

■ Parents don't buy toys, they buy them themselves.

/kloc-on the morning of 0/7, Ms. Hu, who lives in Shengli Road, Nanchang, told this newspaper that she and her husband didn't buy many toys for their children because of their busy work, but every time they cleaned their children's rooms, they would find some new toys in their desk drawers and quilts, and some toys that she thought were not suitable for children aged eight or nine at all. Before, she also asked the children where the toys came from, and the children said they borrowed them from classmates. Ms. Hu wondered that the borrowed things always have to be returned, but some toys have been left in the children's desks for more than a year, and no children have returned them. Later, Ms. Hu learned that the child used the pocket money he gave him every month to buy toys. Ms. Hu is angry, but there is nothing she can do. On the same day, the reporter interviewed the parents of children who are attending primary schools in some communities in Nanchang. More than 60% of parents said that children secretly used their parents' pocket money to buy toys.

The reporter also interviewed more than 20 primary school students of different grades at random. More than half of them thought that buying toys was their own business, and they should learn to buy them themselves instead of just reaching out to their parents. Student Lin Ming said that his parents both have jobs, and when they are busy, they usually don't care about their homes. How can they have time to buy him a present? Grandparents have no money, let alone want them. But every time I see other students have new toys in their hands, I feel itchy and can't control myself. I can only save some money for meals and travel expenses given by my parents. It's different from saving enough money to buy it yourself. Ma Ming, a classmate, also said that his parents were so stingy that they only gave him 5 yuan pocket money at a time and told him never to play games in the street. It's not good to play games by yourself, so you can reimburse the money for playing games for up to 2 hours. Later, seeing that other students bought a cheap handheld game machine with pocket money, he began to save money and finally got what he wanted in three or four months.
