Views on home visits

Which students need home visits, communicate by phone, WeChat or home visits, this initiative should be given to the teacher. It is natural to improve the treatment of teachers, but it should not be vaguely tied to home visits, because more often, home visits are an emotional exchange and should not be motivated by "treatment."

In the era of underdeveloped communication, home visits are an important way for teachers to communicate with their parents. When students are absent from class for a long time, when their emotional state is abnormal, or when their grades drop sharply in a short time ... when teachers think it is necessary to contact their parents, they will make home visits. This form of home visit has also spawned many warm stories, such as teachers helping children with poor family conditions to pay tuition fees, persuading parents to overcome difficulties and not letting their children drop out of school, mobilizing teachers and students to donate money for sick parents, etc ... This kind of home visit conforms to people's cognition of home visit.

"Come at me if you can, don't scare my dad at the parent-teacher conference" is a joke, but the parent-teacher conference is really limited.

Now, home visits are really getting more and more strange. In addition to the development of communication tools, heavy teaching tasks, accelerated pace of life, increased work pressure, alienation of interpersonal relationships, and many other factors, it may be an extravagant hope for teachers and parents to meet alone. Teachers' willingness to visit their homes is no longer as strong as before. Parents' acceptance of teachers' home visits has also been greatly reduced-for many parents, teachers often come to the door with the intention of "looking for trouble", which is also the potential reason why parents post on the Internet against home visits.

Parents' "fear of trouble" is understandable. In schools in large and medium-sized cities, the frequency of parent-teacher conferences has greatly increased. For many parents, attending parent-teacher conferences is already a bitter burden for them, not to mention taking time out to receive teachers. As a form of collective communication, parents' meeting can only serve as a notice for a group, but can't solve a student's individual problem. Therefore, when necessary, it is necessary to visit home as a traditional and beautiful communication practice. But don't turn it into the task of all students, or it will really become formalism.
