The phenomenon of waste on campus is serious, and frugal education still needs to be "introduced"

In the dormitory, the computer is on all day long to download things, there are a lot of leftovers in the cafeteria, and the bathroom faucet is constantly No, the lights are still on in the classroom during the day... Recently, reporters interviewed some universities in Jilin Province and found that extravagance and waste can be seen everywhere on campus. Faced with the question of "whether it is too wasteful", some students showed indifference and thought that "it is not a big deal". Diligence and frugality, a traditional Chinese virtue, are missing from these college students.

Students’ waste is shocking, frugal and virtuous universities are “in the cold”

At noon on April 8, the reporter saw in the student restaurant of Jilin University that as the students were leaving in batches, The swill buckets used to recycle leftovers in the restaurant are gradually filling up. The reporter found that some steamed buns had not been touched. When asked, "Isn't it a pity that so much of it has been thrown away?", a girl who threw away the fried rice she had just eaten a few bites replied: "It doesn't taste good, so I have to throw it away. It's not a pity." ”

A staff member of the restaurant told reporters that there are usually many people eating in their restaurant, and the number can reach more than 2,000 at most. After one meal, the remaining food can hold about a dozen Swill buckets, even breakfast can hold two or three swill buckets.

The reporter then visited three other universities in Changchun City and found that waste in canteens is very common. In the smallest restaurant, there are an average of four or five buckets of leftovers thrown away every day, including not only potatoes and tomatoes. Etc., there is even a lot of chicken, duck and fish, and white rice is even more common. The reporter randomly communicated with 18 students and found that almost everyone had records of dumping leftovers. More than half of the students said that they had to throw away leftovers every day, and about a quarter of the students said that they basically ate half and poured out half.

During the interview, the reporter found that waste does not only exist in college cafeterias, but can also be seen in every corner of the school. A reporter at Changchun University saw four computers placed in a male dormitory where six people lived. A classmate surnamed Li told reporters that their computers are often left on all night long, downloading games and movies online. Few people actually use them to study. They spend most of their time playing games, watching movies, and chatting online.

A corridor cleaner at Jilin Institute of Physical Education told reporters that she could see many dormitory lights still on during the day; in the washrooms of student dormitories, there were often faucets running but no water. People take it seriously; many students do not wash clothes with their hands, but only rinse them with water; in the bathroom, the nozzles are empty but no one is using them...

"When washing clothes, many people soak them with washing powder. Put the clothes directly under the faucet and rinse them for more than ten minutes. Some people poured a large basin of water because the person next to them accidentally splashed a few drops of water in, so they poured out the entire basin with a wave of their hands. "Wang Nan, a student at Changchun University, said: "It's really heartbreaking to see water flowing away in vain."

Students' "ignorance" of waste reflects the "absence" of frugal education.

Diligence and thrift are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, but why is it ignored in today’s colleges and universities? During the interview, many people believed that there are many reasons for students' serious waste, but the main problem is that students' concept of frugality has not been "taken into their hearts".

Shen Ji, a teacher at Jilin University, said that at present, the conservation education for students has been weakened. Now, "it is noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping from the soil. Who knows that every grain of food is hard work." "In the hearts of many college students, it is just a poem, which cannot arouse their excitement. Schools should strengthen humanistic education for students in this regard, so that students can improve their self-cultivation and become models of social morality.

In some universities, reporters saw that almost all restaurants have posted slogans or public service announcements about saving food, but there is almost no real special education on saving food. The reporter communicated with some students on campus. When asked "Do you have any waste in your life?" many students thought about it for a long time and then suddenly remembered some of these practices in their daily lives. Some people even asked the reporter while describing: "Is this a waste?" Faced with the problem of waste, many students believe that "it is my own money that is spent, and it does not harm the interests of others" and "now that living standards have improved. Yes, it’s understandable to pour some food, there’s no need to be so fussy about it.”

In the interview, some college teachers said that the current waste phenomenon in schools is indeed worrying, but what is even more worrying is the indifference of students to this waste. Wang Shang, a teacher at Jilin University, believes that the vast majority of teenagers currently are only children and have relatively superior living conditions. They are unaware of the dangers of resource shortage and waste, and it is difficult for them to turn resource conservation into conscious action. Therefore, strengthening their conservation education is an important task for society.

In fact, in recent years, our country has not lacked education content for students to be diligent and frugal. The "Code for Primary School Students" stipulates: "Live frugally, cherish food, not be picky about food and clothing, and don't spend money recklessly." "Middle School Students" The "Code for College Students" stipulates: "Live a frugal life, pay attention to hygiene, do not smoke, do not drink, and do not spit." The "Code for College Students" stipulates: "Actively participate in various labors organized by the school, work hard and plainly, be diligent and frugal, cultivate the concept of labor, and cultivate In this regard, some teachers feel helpless: "Education is education, and some students still go their own way. Besides, teachers can't supervise them at school or at home."

There is an urgent need for innovation in methods and methods of frugal education

When it comes to the problem of waste on campus, Zhu Jie, principal of Changchun No. 11 Middle School, said that building a frugal society depends on the efforts of the whole society, including strengthening the education of teenagers on thrift awareness. is an important link. Some people in the education industry also pointed out that it is urgent to strengthen students' diligence and thrift education, but the new era requires innovation in diligence and thrift education.

Wang Dantong, a teacher at Northeast Normal University, believes that conservation education must start from childhood, start with small things, and be innovative based on the characteristics of the times. Specifically, the activities of "carrying forward the national spirit and creating a conservation-oriented campus" should be carried out in primary and secondary schools. Where conditions permit, students should be actively organized to participate in activities to create "conservation-oriented families" and "conservation-oriented communities", and at the same time carry out "conservation stars" ” activity to set an example for young people to build a conservation-oriented society.

At the same time, school teachers and parents must also set an example and serve as role models. Students are required to be diligent and frugal, and teachers must first take the lead in doing so. Parents should also make demands and actively cooperate with the school to do a good job.
