Solve the problem of children's summer care
2022-07-25
As primary and secondary schools around the country usher in the summer vacation, children have valuable leisure and relaxation time, but some troubles of parents follow. For most families, how to work and take care of children during the summer vacation has become a difficult problem. "Parents have to go to work and leave their children at home alone. They are afraid that he will be bored and that playing electronic products all the time will affect their eyesight. But it's really not reassuring to let him go out alone." Shanghai citizen Ms. Wang said. Many families will choose to leave their children in the care of the elderly. But now, some young parents have higher requirements for their children's education. Feng Junlan, a reader in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, wrote, "before the summer vacation, we sent our children to live in their rural hometown for a period of time. The children have a good relationship with their grandparents, and the amount of outdoor activities is guaranteed. But the old man can't help their children with their studies. After the children come back, there are a lot of summer homework problems, and parents have to help and coach them bit by bit." Mr. Yu, a citizen of Xinyang, Henan Province, is a double worker with his wife. He has two children at home. "The old people on both sides are old and in poor health. Although they can help look at the children, they are too busy to do anything. In order to be safe and secure, the old people and children have to stay at home during the summer." Mr. Yu said, "summer vacation is a rare leisure time for children. Parents also want to try to arrange the time for study, play and rest, so that children can not only play safely and happily, but also exercise their bodies and cultivate their sentiments through outdoor activities, so that their bodies and minds can develop synchronously and healthily." The expanding market demand has spawned professional custody institutions, which have solved the problems of some parents. In July 2021, the general office of the Ministry of Education issued the notice on supporting the exploration and development of summer custody services, proposing to guide and support qualified places to actively explore and develop summer custody services. Subsequently, a number of trusteeship classes set up by communities, schools, enterprises and other entities appeared in Jiangsu, Sichuan, Hebei and other places. While doing a good job of nursing, they organized and provided some collective game activities, cultural and sports activities, reading guidance, comprehensive practice, interest development, homework guidance and other services. Not long ago, Jinan and other cities in Shandong Province issued a notice one after another, requiring all counties and cities to select hosting schools and provide summer hosting services in combination with the actual situation. Students and parents voluntarily sign up for summer hosting. In principle, the time of summer hosting is not less than 4 weeks. The main projects of the summer trusteeship service include providing students with places for learning activities, opening classrooms, libraries, activity rooms, sports venues and other facilities, guiding students to complete summer life assignments, and encouraging schools to carry out extracurricular reading, educational games, art and sports activities, comprehensive practical activities, etc. However, some readers reported that some chaos was also found in the process of carrying out summer custody services. For example, some schools force students to participate in summer trusteeship, called "trusteeship", which is actually a centralized supplementary course to learn the next stage of courses in advance. If students do not participate, they will be left behind in their learning progress. Some parents believe that this practice violates the relevant requirements of the education department. The Ministry of Education recently issued the notice on doing a good job in the summer work of primary and secondary schools in 2022, which clearly states that it is strictly forbidden to use the summer to organize collective make-up classes, teach new courses or start school in advance. There are also letters from readers that there are still shortcomings in the provision of summer custody services. The staff of some community sponsored summer trusteeship courses are mainly community volunteers. Their professionalism needs to be improved, and the services they can provide are relatively simple. If the community is difficult to provide appropriate custody services, parents turn to market-oriented custody institutions, but the fees are relatively high. At present, the average daily price of custody services in some cities is about 200 yuan, and the average daily price of high fees is about 400 yuan, which is not a small expenditure for ordinary families. "Summer trusteeship services are just needed for some parents. We should introduce management measures for trusteeship agencies as soon as possible, clarify the management requirements of trusteeship agencies, and provide a safe and happy environment for children." Li Jiaming, a reader in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, said that although some summer custody institutions are temporary, they cannot relax their requirements in terms of safety and supervision. "For example, there are clear requirements for dealing with the area, fire protection, personnel and teachers, food safety and other aspects of the custody institutions. At the same time, it should also clarify the competent departments of the custody institutions, organize and carry out regular law enforcement activities, crack down on the illegal acts of the custody institutions, and guide the standardized development of the custody institutions." Bao Lei, a researcher at the Institute of Sociology of the Jiangsu Academy of Social Sciences, said that to solve the problem of children's summer trusteeship, we should take a multi pronged approach. In addition to vigorously developing trusteeship institutions, we can also encourage relevant units to allow double working families and single parent families to work at home or flexibly at wrong times, and relevant departments can formulate preferential policies to encourage them; At the community level, while doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control, we should take the community as a unit and provide some help to parents with the help of volunteers, social workers, grid members, etc. (outlook new era)
