Original title: a university in Guangzhou has set sweeping as a compulsory course. If sweeping is not good, you can't graduate. Is that reasonable?
A university in Guangzhou has set sweeping as a compulsory course: only after completing credits can you graduate. On October 28, a university in Guangzhou set up a compulsory labor course, in which students swept the floor and cleared away rubbish. Students introduced that the labor class is divided into practice and theory classes. Originally, I didn't work very hard at home, 'now it's a good feeling'. The school teacher introduced that each semester has the required amount of class hours, and students can graduate only after completing credits.
In order to catch up with the fashion or simply to attract attention, some universities have launched tree climbing courses, Harry Potter and genetics, Three Kingdoms strategy courses, life and death courses (teaching students to write a suicide note, making a will) and other wonderful courses, the labor education launched by Guangzhou University seems to be a bit 'local'. However, the labor class is undoubtedly more grounded and more practical teaching style, so it is widely welcomed by students.
The purpose of carrying out the labor education system is to cultivate the students' independence, responsibility, cooperation, punctuality, self-discipline, initiative, honesty, service to others and loyalty to their duties, experience the essence of dignity and equality of personality, and form noble personality and efficient learning style through labor education. Of course, this is the saying of "from a high position". To a certain extent, labor class can really play such an effect. In fact, even without these reasons, it is necessary for schools to set up labor classes. At the very least, it improves the students' labor consciousness, exercises their practical ability, and helps them better adapt to the society and self-reliance in the future.
Although the labor class is good, it is only one class, only a few hours. For all people, labor is always a required course in life, which can not be separated for a moment. As long as they are healthy, they all rely on labor to support themselves, and at the same time create wealth for society and provide services for others. Therefore, labor class plays a more symbolic and guiding role. Real labor exists in real life. The ultimate goal of labor class is to consciously cultivate students' concept of consciously participating in labor and guide them to actively participate in social practice within their capabilities.
At the same time, the opening time of similar labor courses can be a little earlier, not necessarily until the children go to university, not necessarily through school education. Some developed countries attach great importance to work education, and adopt a combination of school education and family education. Some countries also stipulate in the form of legislation that children must participate in a certain amount of housework when they are six years old.
In contrast, Chinese parents seem to be more keen on enrolling their children in training classes and Olympic math classes, with a strong utilitarian purpose. As we all know, participation in labor and learning to work are indispensable to the cultivation of a sound personality and basic survival ability, and are the basis for a child to 'not lose at the starting line'. The concept of "starting from the doll" in labor education should be the consensus of the society.
