However, the reporter learned from the doctor that it usually takes 6-9 months to recover after tuberculosis is diagnosed. During this period, we should ensure adequate rest, pay attention to diet and enhance immunity. Many students are worried that this seems to conflict with the pace of life in preparing for the exam in senior three.

Level 364 at the center of public opinion

debate

Parents of some students

Put forward the requirement of adding 30 points to the college entrance examination.

Huang's life was disrupted by a WeChat at 3: 48 pm on 18. On that day, in the parents' WeChat group of her daughter's class, the class teacher asked all parents of class 364 to take their children to the county CDC for inspection. On August 19, Huang's daughter Huang (pseudonym) was diagnosed as "upper right pulmonary tuberculosis with cavity" in Taojiang County CDC, and was diagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis.

Huang knows that her daughter has always missed the day when she went to college to join the army. "I later discovered that it is basically impossible for her to get this disease." As for the future, she never dared to think too much. "I just want to take one exam, nothing else."

Huang Like (pseudonym), who is getting better, is also worried about her daughter's college entrance examination. He told reporters that at the end of September, the parents of the sick students discussed together and drafted a "request". In this "Request", in addition to "advance 50,000 yuan for each infected student" and "the school will formulate a unified resumption plan", parents also proposed that "all infected students will increase their total scores after taking the college entrance examination in 20 18. This "requirement" has caused great controversy on the Internet.

Some netizens bluntly said that students' illness deserves sympathy, but whether the requirements of "extra points in the college entrance examination" and "random one" put forward by parents are too harsh has undermined the fairness that the college entrance examination should have maintained.

However, Lu Li believes that children's academic performance is very good, just because they are suddenly infected with diseases at school, which delays their studies, and the treatment time is still long, and the influence of diseases still exists. "I can't let my child run halfway and lose near the finish line, so I want to ask if I can add points as appropriate." More parents wrote down their consideration of this appeal through the "Request": "The first and second admission rates of the elite liberal arts classes in Taojiang County No.4 Middle School are over 97% every year, which is well-known in the whole city and even the whole province. The infected students are all students with excellent academic performance. If these students take the college entrance examination without affecting their health, do not delay their studies due to illness, and can study normally, they can all enter one or two domestic universities. "

The parents of the students told the reporter that this "requirement" was discussed by the parents of the sick students at a meeting, and they showed the reporters their joint signatures with fingerprints on them. Statistics show that ***47 parents signed this "request". However, President Yang of Taojiang No.4 Middle School said, "At present, there is no relevant policy support (parents' demands). "

A parent who signed the "Request" told reporters that if the national policy does not support the requirements of the college entrance examination, it can be discussed again. Parents' starting point is to hope that their children will have security in the future. Some parents also said that they did not support such a request. A parent told reporters that children can go to as many schools as they can, and it is not good to be admitted to school.

Principal of Taojiang No.4 Middle School: Exempt all senior three students from tuition fees.

The cluster epidemic of tuberculosis in Taojiang No.4 Middle School continues to attract attention. After the incident, the school once faced many accusations such as "failure to report information" and untimely epidemic prevention and control, and was deeply mired in the whirlpool of public opinion. On June165438+1October 18, Yu Yang, president of Taojiang No.4 Middle School, responded to some questions raised by netizens.

Before the incident

Deny "knowingly not reporting" and claim the investigation results.

What's the progress of tuberculosis epidemic investigation at present?

Yu Yang: The County Commission for Discipline Inspection started an investigation in the school on June 5438+07, and the National Health Planning Commission has also arrived in Taojiang. The specific progress of the investigation is not convenient to disclose.

Some parents questioned that the school had failed to report it before.

Yu Yang: The school didn't hide information. If you don't report it, you will bear the responsibility. Everything will be known when the investigation results come out.

There are 29 confirmed patients reported locally, but the statistics of students and parents themselves are much higher than 29. Why is there a difference?

Yu Yang: The data we released are provided by the CDC, and the data release must be subject to the CDC. As for whether students go to other medical institutions to be diagnosed with tuberculosis, and whether they are included in this figure, they should also ask the county CDC.

Diary of sick students

condition

There is no discrimination against students who resume classes, but some students who live in the school change to day school.

The class teacher revealed that 28 students suffering from tuberculosis had resumed classes after being cured.

Yu Yang: Yes. The school is mainly responsible for learning and helping, and the disease control department is responsible for diagnosis and treatment. Students can go back to school as long as they have the certificate of resumption issued by the CDC. Now, according to the wishes of myself and my parents, I can go back to the original class 364 or study in another small class.

Opened a small class of 28 students who resumed classes?

Yu Yang: Yes, but teachers in small classes can also be guaranteed. The head teacher of the small class is the math teacher of the original class, and the rest are the original class teachers. Only the English teacher made adjustments because she had just given birth to a baby.

Previously, some sick students said that they were discriminated against by other students after resuming classes.

Yu Yang: I go to see students every day, without discrimination. Students still get along well with each other.

What changes have been made to the students who resumed classes?

Yu Yang: In terms of study, their single subject scores fluctuate, but the impact is not particularly great. In life, some students who live on campus are now day students. However, there are not many students living in Class 364, and many parents voluntarily choose to rent a house around the campus to accompany their parents. Of course, due to tuberculosis, some students turn to day school. We believe that getting parents' care and strengthening nutrition will help them recover. As for how many students are involved, it is hard to say. This number keeps changing.

Poor child, I hope my studies will not be affected too much!
