When I was in kindergarten and primary school, the only thing I could expect was Children's Day.
The reason is not complicated, just because I can have a holiday.
Coupled with small gifts from teachers and new clothes bought by parents, this festival can be more comfortable than a birthday.
However, there is a saying that joy begets sorrow.
I never imagined that the "festival" that once brought countless joys would become the "Du Jie" that I am overwhelmed with now.
Just after May Day, I received a notice from my parents that the kindergarten would "welcome June 1".
To tell the truth, after seeing the title of this notice, my first reaction was that the teacher was stolen.
Because even if you want to perform on June 1 day, you won't be notified so early, and the rehearsal for the Spring Festival Evening is not so early.
But the notice is true, and so is the preparation for buying clothes.
In order to show active cooperation, I immediately followed the other parents and answered "thank you, teacher." .
After paying for clothes and receiving the program, I thought there should be nothing for me next.
But it never occurred to me that some programs still need parents to perform together.
This reminds me of the scene of the kindergarten sports meeting last month, when I was carrying my baby and a large group of dads on the 400-meter plastic track.
In retrospect, it is not so much a kindergarten sports meeting as an organized "walking father".
So after thinking of rehearsing the June 1 program with Eva, I almost want to ask how to legally and reasonably sever the father-son relationship temporarily.
If I remember correctly, when I was a child, I volunteered to perform programs and rehearsed by myself.
Singing, singing and dancing are not very good, but the children have a good time.
But today's program is arranged in an orderly way.
Although it is voluntary, as long as there is a "catfish" in a parent group, basically all members are equal.
If you don't participate, you will be promoted to the height of "not accompanying childhood" and "not paying attention to children" by good parents.
How can this make sense?
And the environment of collective performance is like competing with parents.
When I see other people's Niu Wa, I feel that I am not a chicken baby.
If others can turn around three times in the same place, they can't wait to pick up the baby and turn around five times.
For a time, I seem to understand why the square dance aunts often have conflicts in order to compete for C.
To tell you the truth, I can't remember how many times I took time off to practice rehearsals.
Anyway, if I come here like this for another month, I guess I won't have to take this class.
I don't know if the child is happy or unhappy, but I'm not happy at all.
I have been rehearsing for more than three weeks, and now I am much more energetic.
My waist is not sore, my legs are not painful, and I can sleep until five in the morning.
Sometimes thinking about the rehearsal task in the afternoon feels more nervous than talking about an important client in the morning.
But I don't blame the teachers, because although they gave the task, they were actually uncomfortable.
In April this year, a friend of a kindergarten teacher talked about "Children's Day is coming, and I have a headache".
That's true.
We should arrange programs, organize rehearsals, buy clothes and contact the venue.
Generally speaking, zero zero is more complicated than buying new year's goods.
Moreover, the teachers in each class are also competing with each other, for fear that the students in their own class will appear too hip-jerk in front of the programs in other classes.
It is tantamount to adding a ranking link to an ornamental performance, and it may not be an exaggeration to say that it is an evaluation of kindergarten teachers.
In this case, the contradiction seems to be concentrated at the kindergarten level.
Because whether the children are happy or not is more important than whether the organization is eye-catching and whether the program is wonderful.
After all, this is an important weight for batlle to compete with other kindergartens on the spot in the next competition for students.
But the question is, does it really lie in the "utility" of kindergartens?
I think they may have been kidnapped to some extent.
Why should kindergartens compete for students through activities such as Children's Day?
To put it bluntly, it is actually afraid that people will say that you are "unprofessional".
In a series of illusory ideas such as "high-quality companionship" and "father and son grow together", the role of many educational details is being expanded infinitely.
Even it has formed an independent theoretical system.
Therefore, many private kindergartens do not add the names of "latest", "initiative", "science" and "founder of XX" in their propaganda, but look more like liars.
But does it really work?
I don't think so.
Because if I look at it according to their standards, then my childhood is simply "unworthy" to be an individual.
In the post-80s generation, few people can reach that height at all.
This is not to say that those new ideas are useless, but exaggerating the details will distort the essence.
Not only kidnapped the kindergarten, but also tired the teachers, parents and children.
With all kinds of new ideas, Children's Day has become a "parental robbery".
I don't know if the child is happy, but I'm not happy at all.
I think, in such a festival with children's happiness as the core theme, if there is no other better way, it is better to give them a day off.
After all, children's greatest happiness is not complicated at all, just do what they want to do.
Therefore, instead of rushing to "show" on Children's Day, it is better to let that simple happiness leave them a precious memory.
