Why do parents in rural areas pay less and less attention to their children's education?

Wen / a rural teacher

The day after the summer vacation, when I was walking on the street in the village, a parent of a student said something like this to me: Mr. Lin, how much did Kong Xiaoye in our family score in the exam? I said: not very good, barely passed, the day after tomorrow to the school to get the notice, you will know the details of her situation.

Kong Xiaoye's parents laughed and said, "it's good to pass. I don't expect her to be admitted to college. I just need to graduate from high school. It's not very useful to go to college now. I just need to work after graduating from high school."

After listening to him, I didn't say a word. I can't help thinking of how my father treated our brother and sister on the issue of education when I was a child. As long as the homework assigned by the teacher is not done well every day, he will spank with a broom. what my father and teacher say most is: teacher, as long as he doesn't study hard and you beat hard, we don't blame you.

What about parents in rural areas now? It is not only Kong Xiaoye's parents who do not attach importance to their children's education, but many rural parents no longer attach importance to their children's education. Through the observation of many teachers in our school, it is found that there are the following reasons.

one。 I feel that educating students is a matter for school teachers and has nothing to do with parents.

Many parents in rural areas think that since we have sent our students to school, whether the students are good or not is your teacher's business. many parents even say bluntly to the teachers in our school, "my child's grades are not good." it's your teacher who can't teach.

Familiar with it, educating children is the common responsibility of school teachers and parents, and family education occupies a more important aspect. Because children spend more time with their parents, only with the organic cooperation of school education and family education can children make greater progress in knowledge and skills.

Second, the theory of the uselessness of reading prevails in rural areas.

Now there are many reports that the salary of so-and-so college students after graduation is not as high as that of migrant workers. Yes, there are many people in our village who go out to work right after graduating from junior high school. now they all have cars and houses, and college graduates of the same age have only a few thousand yuan a month.

In addition, the cost of going to school is getting higher and higher, and the tuition fees for high school and college add up to 100,000 yuan. Many parents think that with so much money, it would be better for their children to start a small business and learn some technology. There is no good return on going to college.

It is precisely when many parents see such a comparison that they feel that reading is useless and that they can't earn more money after school, so why go to school? they don't go to school and go out to work early.

Of course, there are many reasons why rural parents do not attach importance to their children's education. Some rural parents also pay special attention to their children's education, but they have no time. In order to earn money, they have to go out to work and leave their children and the elderly at home.

Finally, end with a paragraph written by long Yingtai to Andre and send it to all the parents who read this article.

"son, I ask you to study hard, not because I want you to compare your grades with others, but because I hope you will have the right to choose a meaningful and time job in the future, rather than being forced to make a living. When your work means something to you, you have a sense of achievement. When your job gives you time and does not deprive you of your life, you have dignity. A sense of achievement and dignity will give you happiness. "
