The possibility and necessity of textbook recycling is obvious. Since last year, all rural junior high schools and primary schools in China have provided textbooks free of charge, which means that all rural textbooks in the compulsory education stage are paid by the government. It can be seen that recycling textbooks can save a lot of money for the government. According to statistics, there are about 200 million primary and secondary school students in China at present. According to the calculation that each student uses 15 textbooks for two semesters a year, about 3 billion textbooks are consumed each year, and each book is priced at 15 yuan, which requires 45 billion yuan, which has great saving potential. The recycling of textbooks has become a common practice in developed countries. For example, in the United States, primary and secondary school textbooks should be distributed to at least eight students, and the average service life of a book is five years. In contrast, our textbooks have become a disposable "luxury".
Recycling textbooks can also effectively reduce waste of resources. China is the largest educational country in the world. According to rough statistics, it takes 550,000 tons of paper to print 3 billion textbooks every year, which is equivalent to cutting down 1 1 more than 1,000,000 trees with thick bowls. We should vigorously promote "green education", tap resources from textbooks and reduce waste.
However, the recycling of textbooks has not been appreciated by students, parents and teachers. On the contrary, everyone complains about this practice.
Recycled books are mixed.
Students and parents have different opinions on this initiative aimed at promoting environmental protection and saving resources. Praisers believe that this can cultivate students' diligence and thrift, and is also conducive to cultivating everyone's awareness of environmental protection, which is worth popularizing; Degraders believe that it is difficult for students to review, and now the content of textbooks is updated frequently, and old books will inevitably affect their study. The hygiene problem in the process of textbook recycling is also a concern of parents. Many parents believe that the users of textbooks are children, and children's hygiene habits are still in the formative stage. Even if there are no notes in the textbook, there will be many bacteria. Moreover, the disinfection of books is not only surface disinfection, but also page-by-page disinfection. Can the current disinfection level meet this requirement?
Textbooks can't "go home", which makes teachers "a little annoyed"
At present, these circulating textbooks are used in this way: the teacher divides the students into several groups and asks the group leader to send and receive textbooks between classes. That is, the teacher gives the students books before class and takes them back after class, which is managed by the teacher in a unified way. In this way, it will increase the burden on teachers. Teachers should pick up teaching books every class, register and distribute them to students, collect them after class, and then send them to the library. Some teachers who don't take exams simply don't give their students textbooks.
It is bitter for students. A student said: "When the teacher explains in class, we are used to writing the key points directly in the textbook and copying them into the notebook after class. Now I don't want to write it in the book. Even if I do, I will put away my books after class. Besides, there are some minor troubles. In the past, art assignments were based on pictures in books. It is not convenient to finish homework by imagination now. " Moreover, some science teachers also reported that in the past, science classes were filled out according to the transcripts in books, and now students have to copy them on paper. Now textbooks are not allowed to be taken home, and teachers have to complete these tasks in class, and there are even fewer classes.
Recycling textbooks "increases the burden" on students.
Now that the curriculum reform is implemented, the teaching materials are likely to be different from last year, which brings some trouble to recycling. More importantly, if students need to find what they have learned before, they will have no resources and it is not convenient to review their lessons. At the same time, sending and receiving teaching materials between classes also delays time. If students are allowed to keep their textbooks, it is difficult to recycle them, and now they are afraid that students will "copy" their previous homework.
Some parents think that recycling textbooks is a good thing from the economic point of view, but now the pressure of further study is relatively high, so it is impossible to keep students from reading more. Without books, how can children review and preview? Children's self-control ability is not strong, and they don't know what to do without textbooks. In fact, in some schools, some parents of students ask to buy another set of textbooks and keep them for their own use.
