The designated brand for the exam is recommended by the school teacher, and the price is indeed not cheap, but it cannot be bought. "Xinhua Vision reporter recently found in a survey in Hangzhou, Zhejiang that for more than a decade, local education departments have long required students and parents to use a certain brand of jump rope for the middle school entrance examination. Many primary and secondary schools require students and parents to purchase jump ropes in a specified or implied manner, with each jump rope priced at 78 yuan, far higher than similar products in the market. If it weren't for the school's requirements, I would definitely not have bought this brand of jump rope. This brand is a bit heavy. Originally, children could jump more than 190 times per minute, but using this jump rope can only jump 160 times. If it weren't for the school's requirements, I would definitely not have bought it. "Mr. Huang, a citizen of Hangzhou, said that his son will participate in the high school entrance examination next year, and he chose jump rope for his sports test project. Due to the use of the brand "Hengyou" for the Hangzhou high school entrance examination jump rope, in order to familiarize children with the exam rope in advance, he reluctantly bought this jump rope under the guidance of the school teacher. I searched online for ropes of the same category, and one rope costs only over ten yuan. This one costs 78 yuan. Similar to Mr. Huang, Ms. Lv, a parent of a second grade elementary school student in Shangcheng District, Hangzhou, said that almost everyone in the 39 students' class bought the "Hengyou" jump rope at the teacher's request. Some parents also bought two, one for home practice and one for school practice. In August 2020, the Ministry of Education and five other departments issued the "Opinions on Further Strengthening and Standardizing the Management of Education Fees", which clearly stated that "it is not allowed to force or imply students and parents to purchase designated teaching aids software or materials". Why do some schools still recommend buying this rope when it is explicitly prohibited? Some physical education teachers in primary and secondary schools in Hangzhou have admitted that skipping rope is a mandatory physical activity in grades one to six of primary school; In high school, it is also one of the items in the middle school entrance examination. Due to the fact that the rope used in the Hangzhou high school entrance examination is "Hengyou", some primary schools benchmark high schools with "Hengyou" skipping rope. Late use is better than early use. We would recommend parents to purchase 'Hengyou' ropes to strengthen training, but it is not mandatory for teachers to buy them. Schools also provide corresponding jump ropes to meet students' needs as much as possible. A third year student in Hangzhou told reporters that due to the high cost of 'Hengyou' jump ropes, she usually uses a few yuan per piece of rubber rope when practicing at home; During physical education classes at school, practice with the school's "Hengyou" rope. Some students from good families in the class also bought 'Hengyou' ropes with Bluetooth counting function, which cost more than 140 yuan. According to a survey conducted by reporters, some homeroom teachers or physical education teachers in primary and secondary schools in Hangzhou verbally informed or sent links to parents, allowing parents to purchase the brand ropes themselves. The customer service of Hengyou Sports Taobao flagship store stated that Hangzhou High School Entrance Examination Jumping Rope provides "Hengyou", which is recommended by many schools in Hangzhou such as Shangcheng, Gongshu, and Xiaoshan. Huang Lian, a "skipping rope lifting class" in Hangzhou, told reporters that more than 20 primary and secondary school students who came to train here also feel that the rope handle used in the middle school entrance examination is heavy and the rope is thick, and it is not as easy to jump as other ropes. In order to cope with the exam, children can only register for class training. Why did the "Hengyou" rope become a special rope for the Hangzhou high school entrance examination? Is there a standard for the rope used in the middle school entrance examination? Shen Hao, Deputy Dean of Hangzhou Education Examination Institute, responsible for purchasing sports equipment for the Hangzhou High School Entrance Examination, said that neither the country nor the province has
