Recently, a parent in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, reported through the Internet that the family committee of a class in Grade 5 of the Fourth Primary School in Dongsheng District, Ordos City organized the collection to renovate the classroom, asking each parent to pay 300 yuan. The official replied on September 6 that after verification, the problems reported by netizens were true, and the family committee had been ordered to return all the fees collected from parents of more than 12000 yuan, and the head teacher had been ordered to make a written inspection.

The above netizens reflected on the leadership message board of People's Daily Online that they are the parents of Dongsheng District No. 4 Primary School, and their children are in Grade 5 this year. Their class switched classrooms in Grade 5 this year. Before that, they changed classrooms every year. Every time they switched classrooms, they collected class fees to purchase school level fixed assets (wardrobe, etc.), renovated the classroom, and awarded rewards with class fees. These are all violations of the rules. Their head teacher clearly said nothing, but gave a general idea, and gave the power to the members of the family committee to deal with these class affairs. Once the classroom is changed, all the things I bought before will not be used. Now I want every parent to pay 300 yuan for changing the classroom. There are about 50 students in a class. "The parents who take the lead are from the family committee. They take the lead to hand over the shift fee and let other parents agree or not. We don't dare to say that they disagree. So I want to complain about their teachers on your platform and report the situation of such arbitrary charges. What's more, our parents should not pay the fees of the school."

After receiving the feedback from netizens, Dongsheng District Education and Sports Bureau made the following treatment for the illegal charges in class management and the ineffective supervision of the family committee in Dongsheng District No. 4 Primary School: 1. Immediately order the family committee to return all fees collected from parents. 2. Instruct the head teacher to make a written inspection and the whole school to circulate a notice of criticism. 3. The school will remind and talk to the vice principal and head teacher in charge to avoid such things happening again.

Essays/written talks on education (sharing campus anecdotes and commenting on educational phenomena)

The family committee, a name that many people have never heard of, has been searched many times since the beginning of school. From the perspective of educators, the existence of the family committee is necessary, which can better build a bridge between home and school, safeguard the interests of students, and smooth the voice of parents.

Unfortunately, the work of the family committee has been "played" by some people, so that there has been a lot of heated discussion around the family committee. Many people said frankly that if the family committee has too many "operations", it would be better not to.
