Cover comment | Labor education is not only the task of children, but parents must also "make up for lessons"

□ Jiang Yanzheng

Recently, Hangzhou released a family labor list (draft for comments) for primary and secondary school students, and formulated the labor skills that each grade needs to master in detail. The labor list of each grade is divided into three parts: small life, creative master, and family helper. The labor tasks of junior high school and high school section will be more complicated. For example, when junior high school students go out and travel, they need to complete the luggage consolidation and storage independently; in addition to mastering basic labor skills, high school students also need to participate in some social activities, such as understanding local intangible cultural heritage, and learning to make a non -heritage cultural item Wait.

Not long ago, after the Ministry of Education issued the "Compulsory Education Labor Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition)", "labor education" quickly became heat. As a result, many parents are at a loss. In this context, some merchants smelled business opportunities and launched the "True Boiled Mini Kitchen" by potential, advertising to help parents teach their children to cook. In this way, the school, family, and markets are obviously still in the exploration and exploration stage. The more that, the more the competent authorities need to refine the terms and clear the guidance.

The labor list of primary and secondary school students released by Hangzhou is obviously to do "labor education" carefully and well. There are roughly two highlights, one is to further specifically specifically the labor modules of all ages and grades in the "Compulsory Education Labor Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition)" to expand its operability; second, it reflects "" The continuity and progressiveness of labor education, outside the stage of compulsory education, clarify the labor education at high school. Theoretically, this consistent labor education will help young people to form a good labor habit and cultivate reliable labor skills.

An interesting detail is that in the Hangzhou version of the family labor list of primary and secondary schools, junior high school students are required to learn to replace simple light bulbs, faucets, and gas stove batteries. Many netizens are deeply stressful and say "none of them." It is true that today, when you are used to "buying maintenance services", the hands -on ability of this generation of young parents is indeed much worse than the previous generation. I am not good at "labor", but I have to teach children to work. It is really difficult.

It is foreseeable that as "labor education" is becoming more and more important, there will be an educational institution that provides "labor education" to come into being, and many parents will be willing to pay for it. If this is the case, it may have deviated from the intention of the co -educational education of labor education. In a sense, "labor education" is not only the task of children. For parents, it is also an opportunity for "secondary learning" and "re -re -re -class". It should not be wasted.
