2, Wuhan Municipal Academy of Education, family and community research office of the deputy director Chen Hongmei said, from the usual contact with the case, now the prominent problem is that parents' education concepts and methods lagging behind, the atmosphere of family education is not strong, some parents and even the pressure of the work in the form of anger transfer to the child, yelling at the child, and the child sent to tutoring classes in lieu of family education, the legislation may be the family education The legislation may make legal provisions for the operation and safeguard mechanism of home education.
3. Experts say family education should not be allowed to become a legal vacuum because it is both private and public ****. For example, the misfortune caused by parents spoiling their children is a great loss to the family and, at the same time, a loss to society and a nuisance to others. Parents or guardians who have not fulfilled their obligation of family education should be held legally responsible; for families with unscientific education methods or lack of education ability, the relevant mandatory counseling and assistance provisions should be clarified in the legislation.
In 2010, with the introduction of the National Guidelines for Family Education and the Outline of the National Medium- and Long-Term Education Reform and Development Plan (2010-2020), various regions began to promote the construction of family education. At present, there are still three major shortcomings in family education in China, which urgently need to be regulated, supported and guided by legislation.
One is the lack of an effective social support system. Take teenage Internet addiction as an example: in the second half of 2010, in Siachen County, Anhui Province, a 15-year-old high school student suffering from Internet addiction Qinqin (a pseudonym), strangled his mother who tried to stop him from going online. One such tragedy after another stems from the serious lack of an effective social support system for family education. An authoritative report shows that urban Internet-addicted teenagers in China now account for about 14.1 percent of young Internet users, but there are no answers to the questions of what degree of Internet addiction needs to be kicked, what kind of organizations are qualified to treat Internet addiction, and what standards need to be followed in treating Internet addiction. The current situation is that schools are at a loss, parents are powerless, students have no way out, and the tragedy cannot be eliminated.
The second is the uneven quality and educational ability of parents themselves. 2010 saw the rapid rise of an online group called "Parents are a Woe", whose majority of members are post-80s. The same encounter so that they get together on the Internet, tips to counteract parents. Li Qiming's comment "My father is Li Gang" sparked outrage: How do some privileged, affluent parents educate their children?
Third, there is a lack of systematic theory and research methods. Guan Ying, a researcher at the Institute of Sociology of the Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that there are few full-time researchers in family education, and the instructors are mixed up, showing simplicity, vulgarity, and eagerness to achieve quick results in the instruction method. Some family education guidance has even been misdirected, such as emphasizing children over parents in terms of service targets. A special survey conducted by the Beijing Municipal Family Education Research Association in 2009 found that there are very few private family education service organizations in the true sense of the word, and that the service market is small, scattered, weak, chaotic, and lacking in professional support.
"Legislation is needed for the standardization, specialization and systematic development of family education." Prof. Li Mingshun, vice president of China Women's College, pointed out that the fundamental purpose of the legislation is to safeguard the physical and mental health and all-round development of family members, and that it is necessary to clarify the responsibilities of state organs, enterprises and public institutions, social organizations, parents and guardians for family education in terms of content. At the same time, the legislation is to strengthen the regulation of the family education market and build a comprehensive social support system.
For example, parents' right to educate their children is not well protected in the existing legal provisions. China's compulsory education law stipulates that parents or other legal guardians of school-age children and teenagers should, in accordance with the law, ensure that they enroll in school on time to receive and complete their compulsory education. It is against the law for parents to run "home schools" at home to educate their children. However, it is not uncommon to see successful cases of parents educating their children at home in real life.
In October 2010, the China Family Education Association and the All-China Women's Federation held a seminar on family education in China in Nanjing, where a panel discussion on family education legislation was held. Wang Daquan, director of the Legal Affairs Office of the Ministry of Education, said at the meeting that the "Outline of the National Medium- and Long-Term Educational Reform and Development Plan (2010-2020)" requires "the formulation of laws on examinations, schools, lifelong learning, pre-school education, and family education, etc.," which means that the relevant legislative argumentation and drafting work will enter a substantive stage. The work will enter a substantial stage.
Zhu Xi, a professor at the School of Educational Sciences at Nanjing Normal University, pointed out that family education should not be allowed to become a legal vacuum because it is both private and public. For example, the misfortune caused by parents spoiling their children is a great loss to the family, and at the same time, it also causes loss to society and nuisance to others. Parents or guardians who fail to fulfill their obligation of family education should be held legally responsible; for families with unscientific education methods or lack of education ability, the relevant mandatory counseling and assistance provisions should be clarified in the legislation.
"For the child's education, I as a father did not do a good job, I feel ashamed." This is the reflection Li Gang once made in a media interview. So who will characterize and quantify Li Gang's homeschooling responsibilities and consequences? Should Li Gang bear the responsibility of improper education? How to bear? These operational and targeted issues are the blind spots and difficulties of the current legislation on family education.
The former vice-chairman of the All-China Women's Federation, vice president of the Chinese Society of Family Education, Liu Hairong, said that the family education legislation involves a wide range of time-consuming, as short as three to five years, as long as seven to eight years, the need to open the door to the legislation, listen to the views of all parties, and urgently do it.
(a) family education is one of the pillars of the education system, the status of family education is in urgent need of legislative confirmation
Legally, the right to education can be divided into three categories: the right to family education, the right to state education, the right to social education, the latter two education rights belong to the right to public **** education. The right to family education originates in the creation of the family, and as long as family relations exist, there is family education. The right to state education originates in the creation of classes and of the state. The state holds the power of education for the purpose of safeguarding the self-interest of the ruling class. But on the other hand, it is also to alleviate social conflicts, to satisfy the educational needs of taxpayers, and to maintain social stability and development. The state's right to education, therefore, is both class and social in nature. The right to social education, which arose almost simultaneously with the right to state education, is a right and interest recognized by the state and society as a result of the spontaneous public **** education and teaching activities carried out by a part of the society that possesses educational resources, either by a group or by an individual. China has always paid attention to the private school, in the late Spring and Autumn period, there is "the decline of the official school, learning in the four barbarians", in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, private academies have also been popular. According to the legal classification of the right to education, a country's education system can also be divided into family education, state education (i.e., public education), social education (i.e., private education) three major parts of the family education is obviously an important part of a country's education system and one of the three pillars.
If we divide a country's education system from the perspective of the main body of education implementation, we can divide education into three parts: family education, school education and social education, and family education is also an indispensable and important pillar. Historically, school education became a major independent form of teaching only with the development of capitalism and the progress of natural science; before that, family education was the mainstay of the growth process of minor children in the history of mankind, and due to the decentralized, empirical, and individualized characteristics of family education, it was not possible to form an independent system, and there were no specialized educational ideas and methods. However, in the context of the rapid development of modern science and technology and the complexity and diversification of social life, the "characteristics" of family education have become advantages and strengths conducive to humane education, the cultivation of the all-round qualities of young people, the shaping of talents needed by the society of the future, as well as the safe development of society, and have therefore attracted widespread attention and have been raised to the importance of an independent education system. Independent education system of the important position, become a new educational discipline. The law should enhance and change people's original understanding, comprehensively improve the organization of family education institutions, management systems, material conditions, in order to lay a good foundation for family education to really play the role of independent education system.
In China's current education system, national education (school education) is the most complete. From a legislative point of view, China has promulgated the Education Law, Compulsory Education Law, Teachers Law, Vocational Education Law, Higher Education Law and other laws and regulations, establishing the legal status of state education, and providing a more complete specification of state education behavior. Private education was once very developed in China's history. Since the reform and opening up of China, private education has made a new start in China and has developed rapidly; in 1997 the State Council promulgated the Regulations on the Running of Schools by Social Forces, and on December 28, 2002, the Standing Committee of the Ninth National People's Congress adopted the Law on the Promotion of Private Education at its thirty-first meeting, thus formally establishing the status of private education in China's education system. However, despite the fact that all sectors of society are no less concerned about family education than they are about state and private education, and that emphasizing family education is a fine tradition in China, there is no legislation on family education in China, and family education is still regarded as basically an appendage of school education, with its rightful place in China's education system far from having been established. Outline of China's Children's Development Plan for the 1990s", issued by the State Council in 1992, put forward the requirement of strengthening legislation on family education. Therefore, speeding up legislation on family education and giving it the legal status it deserves is an urgent requirement for perfecting China's education system. Shanghai has taken the lead in formulating the Regulations, which will provide useful experience and reference for the improvement of China's education system.
(2) The formulation of the Regulations is the need to cultivate the healthy growth and success of young people
The British educator Locke famously said, "Family education, the influence of the child's bones, is any school education and social education can never be replaced". Family education plays a special important role in nurturing the healthy growth and success of young people. Criminological research has proved that the failure of family education is an important reason for young people to go on the road of delinquency. According to surveys of the causes of juvenile delinquency conducted by work-study schools and juvenile reformatories, 87% of them are due to improper family structure or defective family education. The organic combination of family education, school education and social education is a necessary condition for the healthy growth and success of young people. In this "three-in-one" framework, school education is "mass" education, social education is the continuation and development of school education, and family education is "individualized" education, the foundation of school education and social education. Family education is "individualized" education, which is the foundation of school education and social education and determines their effectiveness. Therefore, regulating and guiding family education by way of legislation and enhancing the scientific nature of family education are not only necessary for the prevention of juvenile delinquency and crime, but also for the healthy physical and mental growth and success of young people. On a macro level, it is also a major issue related to the future of the country and the nation. As the former Soviet Union famous ****productivist educator An-She Makarenko said: "Today's parents educate their children, is to create the future history of our country, and therefore the history of the world".
(3) The enactment of the Regulations is the wish and voice of the majority of parents
According to the survey, in order to have a better future for their children, about 99% of the parents in Shanghai are trying to do their best to invest all their hopes, energy and funds in their children's education. However, about 95% of the parents are often in trouble and anxiety, feeling that they can not pay as much as they wish. About 30% of parents admitted that they are "failed parents". The majority of parents have expressed the urgent desire to improve the quality and science of home education. For example, some books on family education, such as "Harvard Girl Liu Yiting", "Don't Mind Your Kids" and "I'm Mediocre, I'm Happy", have attracted the warmest attention of parents and have recorded a phenomenal sales volume. For example, as of December 31, 2002, the rate of parents' participation in family education instruction in Shanghai reached 96.90%, a substantial increase of 46.90 percentage points compared to the 50% rate of parents' education in 1995 (there were no statistics on family education before 1995). Since the beginning of 2002, when the Municipal Women's Federation put forward a proposal to legislate on family education at the Municipal People's Congress, parents have had the strongest reaction. In the course of the study, many parents have expressed great concern and support, and many touching stories have occurred. It can be said that the formulation of the Regulations has become a strong wish and call of the general public of parents.
