Last August, the government (政府) in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, asked parents to make their children do housework for at least two hours each week. The regulation (规定) is the first such local regulation on labour (劳动) education in China.

People had a discussion about it. Some thought it was necessary to teach young children simple life skills, and others said children would be too tired if they had to do housework every week.

Zhou Xiaoyu is the mother of a seventh grader and she didn’t agree with the regulation. “There are many ways to help students learn life skills, but the regulation is not one of them. ”

Wang Xing, a high school student, said she didn’t have time for housework although she wanted to help her parents. “I have much homework to do and many exams to prepare for. I only have a few hours to relax every weekend,” said Wang.

“Parents’ role is important in labour education. However, many parents only care about students’ grades,” said Xiong Bingqi, an expert in education. “They don’t ask their children to do housework or learn life skills. In fact, labour education is good for students’ mind and body. ”
