on september 18, a staff member of the moral education department of yundong middle school in huairen city, shanxi province told the beijing news reporter that on september 10, a student of the school was given a serious warning for going to the toilet at around 11:10 p.m. that night. he was deducted 5 points from the class's moral education assessment for this month as a "major violation of discipline" and was required to print 1,000 copies of "self-awareness" at his own expense and distribute them to each class, dormitory and office. the school has now refunded the student 100 yuan for the printing fee.

after reading the details of the report, it is not true that the school does not forbid students to go to the toilet after 11pm. the staff said that according to regulations, students are not allowed to go to the toilet or walk around between lights out and 11:40pm, except under special circumstances, "for fear of disturbing other students' sleep." if you must go to the toilet during this period due to physical discomfort, you must inform the management teacher in advance, otherwise you will be given a serious warning.

the problem is that it is common sense to inform the teacher in advance before going to the toilet. can the teacher stop the students from going to the toilet? if the teacher cannot stop the students from going to the toilet, what is the point of notifying the teacher in advance?

high school students live in a group, and if individual students do not regulate their behavior, it is possible to affect other students. however, the regulations issued by the school should be humane and have basic common sense in managing students.

the student who went to the toilet without informing the teacher was given a serious warning. to be frank, this serious warning should be given to the school. moreover, because the student's behavior of going to the toilet affected the class, they even had to print 1,000 copies of "self-awareness" at their own expense. how can this be a school?

the school's punishment is not necessarily for the students' physical and mental health. it is mostly because they are afraid that the individual behavior of the students will affect other students' rest and ultimately affect the school's enrollment rate. therefore, they restrict all aspects of the students' lives. in other words, all the students' behaviors must serve and give way to the college entrance examination, while patient education and careful care for students' daily behavior are ignored. in the end, the students' basic physiological needs are restricted.

the above-mentioned staff member revealed that the student involved was a freshman in high school, who entered school on august 26 this year. before making the decision, "the head of the moral education group said that since he had just arrived in high school, he wanted to focus on discipline and let the students pay attention."

to put it bluntly, they just want to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, so that other students can see the consequences of not abiding by school rules and regulations. however, is this kind of intimidation-style education what schools should do?

if students need to go to the toilet after 11pm, the school should care about their health and see if there is anything abnormal, instead of giving them a disciplinary punishment. it is impossible to achieve perfection in collective life. moreover, some students may reduce their water intake in order to avoid going to the toilet at night, which is also harmful to the body.

now, in addition to refunding the student's printing fee, should the school also cancel the punishment?

the local education department should investigate and deal with the school's improper behavior. not only should the incident itself be sorted out, but also the various regulations in "the first step to high school" should be reviewed and any parts that violate common sense should be cleared up. if the school management is found to have harmed the interests of students, they should also be held accountable.

students who are punished for using the toilet are also required to print materials at their own expense to report to the whole school, which will also harm the students' mental health. schools are places for teaching and educating people, and cannot be forced. only when schools respect students, respect their various basic needs, actively guide them when they encounter problems, and solve problems in a scientific way can they gain the respect of students.
