voluntary ordering of milk becomes a forced sale in disguise

the video showed that students lined up at the entrance of longze experimental school in yucheng city, shandong province, and school staff checked students' schoolbags one by one. several staff members stood outside the school gate. under their watchful eyes, students opened their schoolbags and displayed their belongings. only those who passed the inspection could enter the school. there were parents watching at the scene and asked why their children were not allowed to bring milk. school staff said that it was cold and the school milk had been heated uniformly, and the milk brought by the children themselves could not be heated. the staff of the yucheng city education and sports bureau office stated that they have paid attention to the matter and are checking and handling it, and there will be a formal notification later.
more than 10 days ago, incidents of "forced selling" of milk broke out in two places in hubei.
on the evening of september 9, some netizens posted pictures saying that a teacher from the no. 4 primary school in xianning city, hubei province made a request in the class group to order 108 boxes of milk for one semester, with a total price of 324 yuan. parents who do not order will be asked to explain and threatened, "children should also accept criticism!" for those parents who choose to buy milk outside, the teacher directly asks: "why can't you support the teacher's work?"

the matter has not subsided. three days later, another netizen posted a video saying that a first-grade teacher at the no. 4 middle school in laohekou city, xiangyang city, hubei province asked students to order milk for 330 yuan a semester. students who did not order milk must provide a medical certificate of milk allergy. .

in response to this, some netizens commented that teachers also came to "copy homework". because in september last year, a school in suiping county, zhumadian, henan province required students to order school milk, otherwise they needed to issue a medical certificate. there are different opinions on the internet: "teachers from xiangyang were trained in zhumadian" and "it is not easy to learn well, but it will slip away when you learn badly."
the responses from the education departments after the incident were similar. the two education bureaus in hubei province also responded that ordering milk was voluntary and not mandatory, putting the blame on the teacher's "inappropriate words". in september last year, relevant departments in suiping county responded to zongkan news that the incident was a personal act of the school teacher.
just when a teacher in hubei was asking parents "why can't they support the teacher's work?" because of unsatisfactory milk ordering, a teacher from zishan lake school in yiyang city, hunan province came up with a more "clever" method. on september 9, netizens posted a video saying that at zishan lake school in yiyang city, hunan province, when the students were drinking milk, the teacher asked the students to toast each other. the children who had not ordered milk lay on the table in aggrieved manner.
the "cheers" incident not only made netizens angry, but even the staff of the yiyang municipal education bureau expressed their stance: "this behavior is definitely wrong. the children must be very uncomfortable, and it is targeted so deliberately." some experts believe that the teacher violated the education policy the concept of fairness "will cause psychological imbalance and even a sense of humiliation to children who do not order milk."
be wary of schools using compulsory measures in the name of voluntariness
regarding the recent frequent public opinion about milk ordering in schools, relevant experts said that the country’s implementation of the “student milk nutrition plan” has good intentions and is to enable children to grow up healthily. whether to subscribe for "student milk" must follow the principle of "voluntariness", but in some schools, the "good sutra" is read "crooked", and the so-called "voluntary" becomes a disguised coercion. parents dare to be angry but dare not speak out, and can only be obedient. pay money.
judging from the response from the education department, “voluntary” has become a commonly used term in response to public opinion. however, behind the "voluntariness", it has caused troubles to students and parents who choose "no", and to some extent, there has even been invisible pressure from many aspects, "forcing" students and parents to choose to participate in the unified purchase for convenience and safety. peace of mind.
in recent years, there have been many examples of schools forcing students to subscribe. every incident of forced subscription will cause students and parents to question: is there a benefit transfer relationship between the school and the dealer?
the "compulsory education law of the people's republic of china" clearly stipulates: "schools shall not collect fees in violation of national regulations, and shall not seek benefits by promoting or selling goods or services to students in disguised form." at the same time, the national development and reform commission and the ministry of education issued the "about the "notice on regulating issues related to the management of service charges and charge collection in primary and secondary schools" also clearly states that "service charges and charge collection must adhere to the principle of voluntariness of students or students' parents. forced or disguised forced provision of services is strictly prohibited." this shows that forcing students to order milk is illegal and illegal.
relevant experts said that taking various measures to require students to order and drink milk is a compulsory and arbitrary charging behavior. to this end, reporting channels should be opened up so that arbitrary charges in education have nowhere to hide. education departments at all levels should open channels for reporting illegal education fees, and effectively intensify the crackdown on complaints and reports of illegal education fees. relevant departments should respond in a timely manner and verify carefully. once verified, they should investigate and deal with it seriously to form a warning and deterrent.
