校长带领全校跳鬼步舞！边唱边跳嗨的不行！别人家校长，实在厉害！ 鄞州中学广播操&校操 正式视频 [Official] China’s Tiger Parents Find a New Obsession: Cambridge English. SHANGHAI — On a chilly Saturday morning in mid-December, a big crowd has formed outside the gates of a downtown primary school.
Children stream into the building, while teachers try to keep order and parents jostle to say goodbye. Only one girl, dressed in a thick red padded jacket, hangs back. She clings to her mother’s arm, weeping as she watches the other students pass through the gates. Her mother tries to console her. “If we can’t make it on time, we’ll just take the exam next time,” she says. The daughter, however, appears to take little comfort from these assurances — and it’s easy to understand why.

Xi’s China Crafts Campaign to Boost Youth Patriotism. In the era of Mao Zedong, China used propaganda posters to urge young people to create a great socialist nation.
After the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989, the Communist Party rewrote textbooks to deliver its version of history and to steer its young away from Western ideas. Today, China is embarked on another campaign to re-educate its young people. The message is more blatantly nationalistic than anything in recent decades, with President Xi Jinping’s image often at the center.
And it is far more sophisticated than anything Beijing has attempted in the past. In Rural China, Schools Tackle a New Subject: Sex Ed. Secondary school English teacher Bao Tiantian recalls feeling baffled when her principal asked her to attend a sex education training course.
“I’d never heard that sex required education,” the 37-year-old tells Sixth Tone. Bao is from Kang County — a rural region in China’s northwestern Gansu province, where talk about sex remains firmly taboo. When Bao attended school, sex ed consisted of a single biology class in which the instructor was supposed to explain menstruation and some basic anatomy. Even then, her teacher opted not to speak at all during the lesson, she says. China’s Dickensian Boarding Schools.

Girls’ Protection, a Beijing-based nonprofit, has released three reports on sexual abuse cases involving minors, compiled from media reports from 2019 as well as two surveys on sexual health issues.
The reports were released at a press conference Monday, in the presence of several delegates from the National People’s Congress. The delegates are likely to raise some of the issues touched on in the reports during the “two sessions” — high-profile meetings of China’s top legislative and political advisory bodies — in the coming week. Here are some key takeaways from the documents: Report on sexual abuse From analyzing 301 media reports about the sexual abuse of minors in 2019, Girls’ Protection found that 70% of the accused perpetrators were known to the victim and included teachers, family members, and neighbors.

“All those people who complain that each generation is worse than the last should look at you the way I’m looking at you — full of admiration,” said He Bing, a film and television star with a baritone voice, in a commercial for a Chinese online video service.

Julian Chang, the former Schwarzman Scholars associate dean of student life who joined the program in its inaugural year from the Harvard Kennedy School, also in 2015 became a nonresident senior fellow at the Center for China and Globalization, a Beijing-based think tank that was founded by the Western Returned Scholars Association—itself officially directed by the United Front.
CCG’s founder, Wang Huiyao, describes himself in an online biography as a “member of the expert advisory group of the United Front Work Department.” Schwarzman himself met with Sun Chunlan, the former national head of the United Front, in April 2018 at Zhongnanhai, the party and government headquarters in Beijing. In July 2018, Schwarzman Scholars co-hosted a conference on Chinese philanthropy with Tsinghua University and the CCG.

Last week, China’s Ministry of Education published a draft of new rules meant to guide elementary, middle, and high school teachers in enforcing classroom discipline, and they included a request for public feedback.
The public required little prodding. On popular microblogging platform Weibo, a related hashtag attracted over 100 million views in just two days as users carried out a lively debate on the rules’ merits. “A student at our school broke open a security guard’s head, but the teachers only reprimanded him — they could not hit him or implement corporal punishment,” wrote one user. “His parents pretended to criticize him at school, but they continued to spoil him at home, and he was only in third grade.
Head-Scratching Rules at Chinese Universities: A Recent History. There are regular rules, and then there are ridiculous rules. Some Chinese universities have found themselves in the latter category, as educational institutions enforce guidelines that leave students scratching their heads — or perhaps even banging them against the wall. From policies prohibiting campus cuddling to discouraging long hair, such rules have been slammed as arbitrary and draconian, though some schools still defend them as vital disciplinary measures.
Here are some of the unconventional university rules that have made headlines in just the past few weeks. No Daytime Dorm Access Dormitories at the Henan Institute of Economics and Trade are off-limits to students during the day, even when they’re between classes. Sun Zhihong, who is in charge of student life at the vocational school, said the rule has been enforced for over a decade and has proved to be “advantageous” for janitors, who find it easier to clean during the student-free hours.

Mr. 【小欢喜姊妹篇】小别离 01丨A Love For Separation 01 (主演:黄磊 海清 张子枫 汪俊 TFBOYS) A Little Reunion 01（黃磊、海清、陶虹等主演） Why’s Beijing So Worried About Western Values Infecting China’s Youth? In early December, Chinese President Xi Jinping ordered the country’s universities to “adhere to the correct political orientation.” Speaking at a conference on ideology and politics in China’s colleges, he stressed that schools must uphold the Chinese Communist Party’s leadership and “guide the broad masses of teachers and students to be strong believers” in Marxist theories and socialist core values. The conference had the highest profile attendee roster of any education event in recent memory: top university officials, representatives from the country’s military and propaganda apparatuses, and four of the seven members of the all powerful Politburo Standing Committee. ‘A Little Reunion’ Dives Headlong Into China’s Thorniest Themes. A Chinese drama that has sparked a storm of discussion on contemporary social issues since its premiere just over a month ago aired its final episode Tuesday.
“A Little Reunion” tells the story of three Beijing high schoolers as they and their families prepare for the gaokao, China’s notoriously difficult and hugely important college entrance examinations. The gaokao is often a family affair in China, with parents going to great and sometimes absurd lengths to ensure that their children are well-prepared to excel on the tests and secure coveted spots at top universities. The series has been widely praised for its acting, pacing, and dialogue, earning an 8.3 average rating on the often unforgiving review website Douban. But the aspect of the show that has attracted the most attention is the Pandora’s box of topics it touches on. China’s Newest Cram School Craze: Sex Ed Camps.

Guideline Clamps Down on ‘Xiaonao’ at Chinese Schools. Chinese authorities issued a guideline Tuesday aiming to crack down on acts they say cause illegal disturbances at schools. The guideline — jointly issued by five national agencies, including the Ministry of Education, the Supreme People’s Court, and the Ministry of Public Security — lists seven forms of xiaonao, or violence against school staff, that sometimes surface when there are safety issues or accidents on campus. The rules appear to be directed at aggrieved parents who feel they or their child has suffered an injustice, and so take their case to campus in an effort to gain visibility and increase their chances of receiving favorable compensation.
According to the new guideline, behaviors such as assaulting educators, damaging school property, and bringing flammable items on campus will now be punishable offences under the Public Security Administration Punishment Law.
