It seems that he is referring to a draft Circular of the Ministry of Education and Training. That is the Draft Circular regulating rewards and discipline for students in schools that recently eliminated the form of temporary suspension for students. Instead, depending on the level, primary school students will be reminded or asked to apologize; middle and high school students will be reminded, criticized or write self-review reports.
According to the Ministry of Education and Training, the purpose of discipline is to prevent and stop student violations, while helping students self-admit to their violations to voluntarily adjust their behavior and overcome the consequences, thereby forming disciplined habits and lifestyles. However, schools are not allowed to use disciplinary measures that are violent, insult humanity, affect the physical and mental health of students.
It is true that discipline by suspension will interrupt students' studies, causing many consequences such as creating a depressed and negative psychology. From there, students can be lured and drawn into unhealthy activities.
But if you remind, criticize or write self-criticism, will it help students realize their mistakes? The teacher's friend said: "Student fights, even traffic violations, and security and order violations are not uncommon, especially the consequences of social networks. So what should teachers and schools do?".
It is worth mentioning that in the Circular issued in September 20, the Charter of the junior high school, high school and high schools with many education levels with the acts of students who are not allowed to do, including: insulting dignity, honor, infringement of the body of teachers, officials, staff of the school, other people and other students; Fraud in learning, examination, exams and enrollment; Buying and selling, using alcohol, beer, cigarettes, addictive substances, other stimulants and firecrackers, fire -explosive substances; Using mobile phones, other equipment while studying in class does not serve the study and is not allowed by the teacher; Fighting, disturbing order and security in schools and public places; Using and exchanging cultural products with content that provokes violence and depravity; use toys or games that are harmful to your own healthy development; Students must not violate other prohibited acts as prescribed by law.
Along with that is a disciplinary regulation related to the corresponding behavior of "temporarily suspending learning at school for a period of time and implementing other educational measures according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training".
If the Circular on rewarding and disciplining students comes into effect, the School Charter must change the regulation on "temporary suspension of study at school".
From "school changes" to "temporary suspension of study at school" and now there is no provision for temporary suspension, suspension of study can be considered towards humanistic education.
However, it is also necessary to consider disciplinary measures so that students are deeply aware and responsible for each of their actions towards themselves, their families and society.
