The decline of the village school

Jichuan Village in Shicang Township, Xianyou County, Fujian Province, more than 100 kilometers away from Putian City, is an ancient Han Dynasty village with a history of 2,000 years, and there is a Jichuan Primary School in the village, which at most had more than 500 students and more than 20 teachers. But after 2009, with a large number of young adults going out to work in the village, many children were also taken away to school. In the fall of this year, there were only two 6-year-old students and two teachers left at Jichuan Elementary School.

Seeing this is really full of helplessness, teaching is always the teacher's duty, but they did not expect that there will be a day when there are no students to teach, the school has been reduced to an empty school, such a scene, I am not strange.

In our village, when I was a child, there is still a school, there are teachers, and then I do not know how, slowly less and less people, to 2004 2005, the school students still have so 50 or 60 people, when the popularity of private schools, because public schools, not only are the teachers gone, the students followed to four kilometers away from the township elementary school.

According to the past situation, our village is the fourth grade before going to the township elementary school to continue to study, but because the public school no teacher is willing to come, and our village teachers are all out of the test, no teacher naturally no students, and then even the school because of the dilapidation of the school collapsed, so so scattered!

Last time I went home, I saw that the former school had been turned into a square, which was used by the village to organize activities as well as by the mothers to dance in the square! Things have changed, just such a situation has also become too fast, so fast that we are too late to accept. There are still a lot of children going to school in the village, but the younger ones are picked up and dropped off by adults every day, while the older ones walk or ride their bikes on their own!

The decline of a village school journey, explaining the demographic changes, but more is now people are going to high places, always feel better to go to a better school, naturally, they are not used to the village school, have the conditions to go to the outside, do not have the conditions to create the conditions for the children do not go to elementary school in the village.

This kind of event should be more favorable to the Ministry of Education, after all, one less village school, naturally, a lot less expenses, whether it is the teacher, or all kinds of learning tools, now there is no one, they saved, so about this kind of result, they are also happy to see la! So a village school, just one by one is gone!

As for the convenience of your children's schooling, that's your parents' business, and they have nothing to do with it, so the dispensable village school eventually disappeared in our village, which is a product of the times, but also has to face the reality. This may also be the result of the fact that there are fewer children nowadays, and each one is the baby of the family, so when it comes to children's education, everyone is quite willing to spend money and time on transportation.

And the village school has always given people the feeling that it is backward, broken and so on, mentioning the village school is that it is just a place for children to get together and play. So now the children go to school, are by the family adult transportation, but also a lot less companion together with the fun of going to school, of course, this is also less a lot of fights. The emergence of each phenomenon is not accidental, this is the trend now!

So we also accept the way the children go to school, but also have to accept the reality of the daily transportation of children to and from school, really do not have the time to transport, you can pay, looking for someone to help transport, because the village has a special business to do the children's business, but this is a private behavior, once the accident is a grudge nowhere to apply for, can only recognize the bad luck.

When we used to study in the village, it was so close every day that we could go there by ourselves after school, but now it's too far away, and even if the children are willing to go there by themselves, the parents don't feel confident. So now the children are really much happier, go to the township to study, both the quality of teaching and discipline are managed more strictly.

As for the so-called village schools, it is only a matter of time before they are abandoned, we all look on the bright side of the good, all for the sake of the children to learn, as long as there is a school, everything is good!
