on september 21, at a symposium themed "home and school work together, build and share together - discussing school development and child cultivation with parent representatives", the principal of puning school affiliated to south china normal university in puning city, guangdong province, publicly told parents that "anyone who dares to speak ill of the school will be attacked by all". on the morning of the 23rd, staff from the puning municipal education bureau responded that after investigation, the situation was true and the principal had been asked to review and apologize to the parents.
as a sacred place for teaching and educating people, schools should be open and inclusive and welcome reasonable suggestions and supervision from all parties. parents are the first teachers of their children and important partners in school education. their evaluation and feedback on the school are crucial to the development of the school. the principal's "overbearing remarks" are obviously contrary to this open and inclusive educational philosophy.
from the principal's perspective, his remarks reflect a wrong management mindset. perhaps in the principal's view, to maintain the school's image, there cannot be any negative voices. however, there are bound to be some problems and deficiencies in the school's education and teaching process, and parents' feedback is one of the important channels for discovering and solving problems. if parents' voices are suppressed blindly, the problem will only be covered up and not solved in a timely manner, which will ultimately damage the interests of students and the long-term development of the school.
for parents, the principal's words will undoubtedly make them feel chilled and worried. it is normal for parents to care about their children's education and have expectations and requirements for the school. they hope to express their opinions and suggestions in a reasonable way. the principal's threatening remarks may make parents dare not speak out about school problems in the future, and even cause them to distrust the school. this will greatly affect the atmosphere of home-school cooperation and is not conducive to the growth of children.
in this era of highly developed information, any attempt to cover up problems and reject criticism is tantamount to "stealing the bell while covering one's ears". having problems is not terrible, but what is terrible is not daring to face them. only by establishing a communication mechanism of equality, respect and trust can we truly achieve unity between home and school, build and share together, and create a better educational environment for children.
