Children's picture books mainly focus on illustrations, which are in line with the interests of kindergarten children and can basically be read with relish. However, recently, a parent shared his unhappy feelings and experiences after buying a children's picture book for his son online.
This parent's son is five years old and is attending kindergarten. In order to enrich his child's after-school life, his parents bought him a picture book called Ship 1 pop-up book, in which there was a section called Busy Pier, and it was in this section that his parents found the illustration that made him uncomfortable.
The illustration shows a naked man, covered with a blanket, lying on a massage chair, and a female staff member massages her behind him. Parents are worried that such a naked man may be suspected of teaching bad children.
After all, children of kindergarten age have gradually become gender-conscious. Such an illustration is nothing to adults, but it is not necessarily the case for kindergarten children. In the opinion of this parent, this illustration is somewhat unsightly and not suitable for kindergarten children.
Confused, this parent shared his experience on the Internet, but most netizens' views are different from those of his parents. Netizens not only don't think this illustration is suspected of teaching bad children, but think that parents are too sensitive.
In this regard, some netizens gave a very vivid example: our generation grew up watching Crayon Shinchan, and there were many "unsightly" pictures and illustrations in that cartoon, but we didn't feel anything crooked or bad habits.
Kindergarten children are at the critical enlightenment stage in their lives. We should attach great importance to their learning and acceptance, but we can't do it across the board. Although the man in this illustration is naked, after all, the sensitive parts are covered with blankets and massaged. I believe that as long as parents can explain clearly to their children, most children are acceptable. What are the problems with illustrations of primary school textbooks that expose children's private parts besides ugliness?
Illustrations in the textbooks of People's Education Press not only have the problem of "Down syndrome" face, but also have the following three unforgivable problems:
1. Too close contact; 2. Color discrimination; 3, highlight the body parts
1, too close contact
First of all, some parents in our country have not established gender awareness for their children when they are young, so we often see some mothers taking boys to take a bath in girls' bathrooms. However, there are some similar problems in the illustrations in the textbooks of People's Education Edition. For example, there is an illustration in which a group of students are playing with eagles to catch chickens. As a result, the boy behind the girl who plays mother hen is holding the girl's chest tightly with both hands, and there is an illustration in clothes in which a boy is tearing at the skirt of a female classmate. Obviously, there are serious problems in this illustration, so it will cause such a big controversy.
2. Color discrimination
Secondly, an illustration that has been madly forwarded recently is called Sweat! The content of this illustration is: a girl with closed eyes and a proud face reaches out her hand to smell the sweat on her arms for two boys, who are yellow and black respectively. The caption of this illustration is "It smells good". This illustration is obviously praising white people and then belittling yellow and black people. If this illustrator is unintentional, I absolutely don't believe it.
3. Highlight the body parts
Finally, some illustrations in the textbook of People's Education Press still have the problem of highlighting the body parts. For example, when a little boy is playing table tennis, the zipper part of his pants is particularly prominent. If this is a coincidence, then I think it is not a coincidence that the girl's chest is highlighted in the later illustrations. Moreover, so many illustrations with problems can actually enter the textbook of People's Education Press. It must be said that the publishing house has a very big problem. Kindergarten teachers create warm-hearted illustrations to pay tribute to anti-epidemic workers. How do you evaluate this kindergarten teacher's works?
The kindergarten teacher created warm-hearted illustrations to pay tribute to the anti-epidemic workers. Xiao Bian feels that this kindergarten teacher's works are not only vivid, but also rich in far-reaching significance. Because of the epidemic situation, many people's lives have undergone tremendous changes. Some people fought in the front line and protected thousands of small families behind them through their own efforts. There are also some people who abide by local requirements and stay at home honestly, and they also want to contribute to this war epidemic through their own efforts. This kindergarten teacher is also very kind. Through his own understanding, he recorded those warm anti-epidemic pictures.
This kindergarten teacher's works are very wonderful. In everyone's impression, kindergarten teachers play with children. It really takes a lot of courage to become a kindergarten teacher, and at the same time, they have to learn a lot of talents. Painting is one of them. This kindergarten teacher is a teacher in Hangzhou. Because she saw many meaningful anti-epidemic pictures on campus, she wanted to record them with a brush. For example, when the dark clouds were overwhelming, two volunteers wore red vests and held a party flag in their hands. These volunteers have overcome many difficulties, even if they are dangerous, but they will not easily retreat.
The work is full of connotations and is worth savoring. Some people may think that it will be easier to take photos directly, but taking photos is only a moment, but when creating paintings, they can pay a lot of effort and have deep feelings. Through these warm pictures, we can understand the teacher's voice, and at the same time, we can make the broad masses of people more and more moved.
Use your own abilities to contribute to the fight against the epidemic. The unity of China people is obvious to all. Although everyone has different identities, their hearts are together, and they are United as one. Everyone hopes that mankind can win in this war epidemic. I believe that through everyone's efforts, this victory will definitely come to everyone's side soon.
