the incident took place at the central primary school of dongcheng street, huangyan district, taizhou, zhejiang province. regarding the statement circulating on the internet that "parents knelt down because they were dissatisfied with dingtalk clocking in", yang yunde, director of the huangyan district education bureau, made it clear again in an interview with the paper on the afternoon of september 27 that the incident was not necessarily related to dingtalk clocking in. , "the parent may have been in a state of emotional control at the time. according to family members, this parent often loses control of his emotions."

the above-mentioned person in charge further explained that the school does not have a mandatory concept of clocking in. dingtalk is only a tool for home-school communication and is mainly used for issuing notices, daily communication, feedback on homework completion, and sharing of information and files, etc. regarding the use of home-school communication tools such as dingtalk, the person in charge said that it will be further standardized, "we are now implementing it in accordance with the requirements of reducing the burden on the grassroots and reducing the burden on parents. for communication tools such as dingtalk, qq, and wechat, follow-up will further standardize the application and optimize it so as not to add burden to parents."

previously, on september 26, the huangyan district education bureau issued a situation report: at around 8 a.m., a parent in front of the central primary school in dongcheng street, huangyan district was emotional and behaved abnormally, which attracted attention on the internet. the parent sent his child to school on the morning of september 26. because the child forgot to bring a water bottle, he became emotional after calling the child loudly at the school gate to no avail. after being patiently persuaded by school staff, he left on his own. around 10 a.m., a comment appeared online that "a matriarch asked the school to cancel the dingtalk check-in system at the school gate for the sake of her children." according to the investigation, dingtalk, as the school’s home-school communication tool, is mainly used to issue notifications, check student homework submissions, and share learning materials. in the next stage, we will further standardize the use of dingtalk to better serve home-school communication.
