Recently, Tan Bin Middle School in Yunfu, Guangdong Province changed the standard of students' food expenses to 1.430 yuan, 1.800 yuan and 2865 yuan for students to choose freely, which aroused parents' doubts and guided the trend of comparison. The local education authorities intervened in time, stopped the wrong practices of the school, and reached an understanding with parents. The students' meal fee per semester was adjusted to the original price of 1430 yuan, and the principal was suspended.

Luoding city Tan Bin Middle School in Yunfu City, Guangdong Province is a junior middle school. The school adjusted the standard of students' food expenses per semester from the original 1.430 yuan/student to 2865 yuan, which doubled the burden on students' parents and naturally caused parents to rebound. The school immediately changed the students' food standards to three grades. They are 1.430 yuan, 1.800 yuan, 2865 yuan, for students to choose freely. It seems that students can choose appropriate dining standards according to the family's affordability, so that students with poor conditions can have enough to eat and students with good conditions can eat well.

On the surface, the school provides students with more choices, but the students who choose 1.430 yuan's minimum standard are the children of poor families in the eyes of other students, the children who choose 1.800 yuan's standard are the children of middle-class families, and the children who choose 2865 yuan are the children of rich families. If students are divided into three, six, nine, etc. With the standard of dining, it will artificially create a confrontation between the rich and the poor among students, and make the children of really poor families feel very inferior psychologically.

Parents' doubts also stem from the fact that the essence of graded meals is to increase food expenses in disguise. Judging from the actual situation, after the school has set the dining standard as the third grade, the students who really choose the 1430 yuan standard are definitely a few. In order not to lose face in front of other students, most students will choose the relatively highest standard or even the highest standard. The result must be that the nominal three grade standards are finally merged into one standard, that is, the food cost per student is increased to 2865 yuan. The school's "one recruit, two styles" raised the students' dining standard from 1430 yuan to 2865 yuan. No wonder parents doubt that this move has the suspicion of guiding the wind of comparison.

Schools can reform the logistics system and bring benefits to students.

However, it is not the best choice for schools to set their own food standards. Schools should carry out socialization reform of logistics, reduce the rent-seeking space of leadership power, and give the greatest benefits to teachers and students.

You can invite public bidding, choose catering enterprises to uniformly distribute lunch boxes to teachers and students, or you can run your own canteen, which is run by the school itself, not for profit, so that teachers and students can eat well. We can also choose to let qualified canteen contractors manage the canteen through public bidding. The school will provide canteen space free of charge, let canteen contractors process meals, and pay attention to reasonable nutrition, so that students can swipe their cards in the canteen, which is more scientific and reasonable than fixed food labels.
