Desks and chairs are one of the teaching facilities that accompany students for a long time, especially for middle and high school students, who spend most of their learning time in school, and the height of the appropriate desks and chairs is very important for them.
In recent years, with the improvement of living standards, the average height of children is getting higher and higher, and some students are more than 1.8 meters or even 9 meters in junior high school, but many school desks and chairs are not followed by "long". Many parents and students reported that it was very uncomfortable to "card" in the desks and chairs for a long time, and "small desks" became the children's "growing troubles". How to solve the problem of "low distribution" of desks and chairs?
Ms. Chen's son, who is in his second year of middle school in Henan province, has grown to 1.78 meters. Earlier, when Ms. Chen went to the school for a parent-teacher meeting, she found that the school's desks and chairs did not match the child's height, and it was very uncomfortable to sit.
Ms. Chen: The desk area is very small, I can not sit comfortably, and the child is much taller than me. Moreover, the child studies for a long time every day, will the unsuitable desks and chairs be more uncomfortable?
Ms Chen's case is not unique. The reporter consulted teachers, parents and students in many places and found that the phenomenon of mismatch between desks and chairs in primary and secondary schools and the height of students is very common:
A parent of a high school student in Beijing said the desks and chairs used by all three grades are the same.
A high school teacher in Jiangsu revealed that the height of the school's desks can be adjusted, but it needs tools to disassemble and assemble, and it is difficult for students to adjust themselves, and it seems that the class's desks and chairs are all of the same height.
Shi Shaohua, director of the audio-visual equipment office of the Education and Sports Bureau in Changge, Henan Province, said that some schools overpursue aesthetics and consider maintenance costs in the management process, while ignoring the health needs of students. "The different height of the table will affect the overall beauty. Fixed tables are less likely to be damaged because they are strong and not easy to shake. The lifting table and chair because there are more parts, the damage rate is relatively large, and the maintenance cost will be higher."
Poor sitting posture will affect students' health
Schools should provide more scientific and useful desks and chairs
The recommended national standard "Functional Dimensions and Technical Requirements for School Desks and Chairs", which was implemented in 2015, stipulates 11 types of desks and chairs and the suitable height range for seating. In addition, various places have also introduced corresponding management measures for desks and chairs. The reporter learned that many schools allocate desks and chairs of different heights according to the height and weight of students:
Nanjing No. 9 Junior High School in Jiangsu Province will re-count the height of students every school year, and match the tables and chairs according to the height through the spreadsheet, which is assigned by the head teacher. The school will also adjust the height of some tables and chairs according to the personalized needs of students.
Quanzhou, Fujian Province, began to improve the configuration of desks and chairs in primary and secondary school classrooms last year, so that the height of desks and chairs matches the height of students and their sitting height, and encourages the provision of foldable healthy lunch break tables and chairs.
