On the first day of school, for the children, it is the new school day, with homework and new books. For parents, it is a one-year school day, with light fighting。
This job seems to be simple, but it's actually very technical and has a lot of work to do. “i packed myself when i was a kid, i had to give my brother's bag, and now i'm giving my son a bag, and i think i'll have to give my grandkids a bag later ...” the real story of one of the netizens also resonates with many parents on twitter。
Status: parents have needs, but it's difficult to “cover books”
In view of this need of parents, there has recently been a new business at the stationary store outside jiangsu's primary school. - for the bookworks. Every shopkeeper's busy with paper. It is understood that the cost of a book is $2 and $3 for a book. It's pretty hot. It's got to line up. It's hot。
Does hangzhou have a stationary store with the same business? This week, newspaper hour journalists visited several stationery shops near the school at random。
These shops have one thing in common: they have been given the most prominent places in the store and even have been given banners for the business: “safe environmental bookskin has arrived, new school term packages have been offered”. There is also a wide variety of styles in the bookskin, including cow paper, colour wrapping paper, transparent film, finished bookcases, etc。
A store owner of stationery next to a primary school told the newspaper hour journalist that opening school was the busiest day in the store, especially the day when students received new textbooks, where students and parents came to pick up books: “many parents sent their children to the school, turned around and bought them, or picked them up after school. Sometimes i talk to these students, parents, and now most of the students, except for those in the upper part of the primary school, will pack their own books
According to feedback from shopkeepers, the best book-skinned format for this term is the transparent sheet of books that can be placed directly on them. One shopkeeper said: “our shop is near both primary and lower secondary schools, and the popular wind of the booksty style is mainly school demand. Our shop had been hot for the past few years, but since last year, transparency has been in high sales.”
Turning to the new “back-to-back” industry in the neighbouring province, many stationery shop owners said they had not tried it. “there are many styles of paper that require parents to tailor themselves and repackage them in textbooks, which is more time-consuming. Indeed, parents asked if there was a replacement service, and i said no. The start of the school season is already the busiest time, and it is too late to search for things, settle bills, make up for supplies
Survey: half of parents believe that the bag is necessary
In fact, it's a hot topic every semester. Are there any new books or not? Everyone's got their differences。
One of hangzhou's mothers said, "my daughter asked me to buy her a bag of paper, and i don't think it's going to protect a book. I don't have to. Every time i've worked hard on her, it's going to be a mess in a month."
In a small survey this week by newspaper hour journalists, nearly a thousand parents participated, and 33 per cent of parents, like the mothers above, did not feel necessary, 50 per cent of parents considered it necessary and 17 per cent did not care。
In the view of 83 per cent of parents, the protection of books is the most important reason for choosing the book skin. Because some textbooks are plastic, they have some water, oil and oil protection effects, but most of them are not。
In the new semester, 40 students in the fifth grade of shinhua primary school in hangzhou, 39 of them were covered with bookskin, and the only child who did not have bookskin because of the net purchases had not yet arrived. “i ask that the daily work be a book-covering exercise to give my classmates a sense of a new term of ritualism, while also protecting textbooks and improving their ability to do things.” the schoolmaster told the newspaper newspaper hour。
Of the 39 students in school, 23 were independent and the remaining students were actively involved, working with their parents. Most of the students have chosen transparent materials for their books. “there have also been parents who have challenged this, who have felt that the book is not environmentally friendly, and i respect the parents' opinion, and the child, who really did not have it for a semester, has become a mess. So now it's all over again." the teacher said。
Experiment: what happens when you don't have a term of paper
It was the impression of journalists that new business had been developed around the paper shop, as well as the services offered by the property company, and that a group of uniformed staff were in the lobby, giving a new book, “get dressed”, to many parents and children waiting in line, with children sitting on the floor with scissors。
There are also schools that have tried to address root causes. In the case of the hanzhou secondary school for embroidery and the hangzhou primary school, the initiative to “open school without book skin” has been launched to promote low-carbon living for all students, green school with open school without book skin, and is of interest to all。
The foundation of the school's guidebooks is not missing pages, painting, missing, etc. As soon as the initiative came out, members of the internet commented, mostly in support of the initiative, but also in anticipation that the cover might be gone by the end of the period。
In the current semester, journalists have returned to the primary school of yung yung and have randomly investigated the situation of the two classes. Out of a total of 44 students in 305 classes, only 5 children were covered in books. The children felt that they had not been able to protect their books very well through an earlier attempt to do so, and that they wanted to do better with the protection of their books this semester. Other non-book-covered children believe that, after a school year, they have accumulated a number of ways to protect their books, and that they can do so without the need to protect them。
In class 402, 36 kids don't have a full class。
The school's children's experience with books is that if there are stains on the pages, they can be rinsed with hard matter in time and washed with water in small areas, but not wet the whole face. If the book accidentally falls on the ground or accidentally folds, it must be flattened in time with heavy objects. And be careful when it comes to books, it cannot be cornered。
With the initiative of the school, the cooperation of the parents and the protection of the students from their hearts, it will be possible for the textbooks and the books to say good-bye, which will require that we work together to promote and nurture each other。
