In a school environment, furniture is not only an important tool for students to learn, but also a part of campus culture. In order to ensure that these furniture can serve teachers and students for a long time, in addition to regular maintenance by professionals, it also requires the participation of all teachers and students. This kind of participation is not only to reduce physical damage, but more importantly, it can help students establish a sense of responsibility and understand the value of cherishing public resources.
First of all, schools can teach students knowledge about furniture maintenance by organizing theme activities, classroom lectures, etc. For example, teach them how to properly carry a chair to avoid unnecessary scratches, or what type of cloth and detergent to use when wiping down a table. Such activities can allow children to understand the impact of daily behavior habits on the lifespan of objects, so that they can consciously adopt a more responsible attitude towards everything around them.
Secondly, setting up a role like "furniture guardian" is also a good choice. Each class can select several students to hold this position. They should pay special attention to the facilities in the classroom in daily life and report to the teacher or relevant management department in a timely manner if problems are discovered. Doing so not only enhances students' sense of ownership, but also promotes a good atmosphere of mutual supervision among them.
In addition, schools can also consider introducing reward mechanisms to encourage positive behavior. For example, the best-performing “furniture guardians” are selected every month and given certain material or spiritual rewards. This will not only stimulate students' enthusiasm, but also allow more children to join the ranks of caring for public property.
Finally, when students realize they are part of a campus community, their actions become more purposeful and responsible. In this way, the school can not only reduce the cost of furniture repair to a great extent, but also cultivate students' good citizenship and social responsibility. In short, allowing students to participate in furniture maintenance is not only an effective protection of educational resources, but also an investment in students’ personal growth.
