under the scorching sun, dozens of primary school students, with sweat on their faces, squatted or sat together to "enjoy" lunch on the school playground. this is a "campus scene" of a school in shenzhen recently. why don't they sit down and eat in the cafeteria or classroom? it turns out that this is not a "relaxation" method taken by the children, but a helpless choice under the strict "school rules".
it was revealed that some students were dissatisfied with the taste of the food in the school cafeteria and chose to have their parents deliver meals to school. the school issued a clear order: parents can deliver meals, but they must eat together on the school playground.
the incident was spread through the internet, and naturally attracted widespread attention from all parties. in response to the doubts, the school said: the school cafeteria is okay, but the food brought in from outside is not guaranteed. the reason for this last resort is that they are worried about food safety issues. such a response is obviously too far-fetched and basically cannot stand up to scrutiny - students have the most say in whether the cafeteria food is good or not. if it is really good, parents will not have to worry about it. in fact, in the video circulated online, the students said without restraint: the school food is too unpalatable.
it is worth noting that similar practices are also seen in some schools in hunan, including changsha city. for example, some schools have explicit regulations that students are not allowed to eat outside the school, and those who violate this rule will not be allowed to enter the school.
as a place for teaching and educating people, the primary task of a school is of course to provide students with a good learning environment and a comprehensive development platform. however, this does not mean that schools can ignore students' basic living needs, especially diet, which is an important part of students' health and growth. the quality of students' diet during their time at school is directly related to their physical health and learning status. however, there are many problems in the canteen management of many schools, such as single dishes, poor taste, and high prices. why do schools use hard or soft measures to "force" children to eat in canteens that are not popular with students?
we do not doubt that most schools do have good intentions for food safety, but we cannot deny that some schools do regard the canteen as a "profit point" and "cash cow".
if it is really for the good of students, the purpose of running a school should be corrected, practical actions should be taken to improve the dining conditions and service quality of the canteen. only when the children eat comfortably can the parents feel at ease.
