The students who agree that some classes are really unnecessary, and it is a headache to call the roll. The appearance of "substitute students" can help some students do something more valuable. It can also create "employment" opportunities for students with family difficulties.
On the other hand, opponents believe that the appearance of "substitute class" can easily lead to the serious proliferation of truancy. At the same time, it also encouraged the arrogance of some "noble students". When teachers heard about "substitute class", their first reaction was shock, followed by a clear and consistent attitude: resolute opposition.
Mr. He Zhaowu, an old professor in Tsinghua University, once described the days of "skipping classes to collect credits": "You can listen to the classes you like, and you can skip the classes you don't like. For example, Mr. Zhang Xiruo, head of the Department of Political Science, I didn't take two courses, the history of western political thought and the history of modern western political thought. I didn't take the exam and didn't count the credits, but I listened to it from beginning to end and was very inspired. Even now my major has become a history of ideas. "
Professor Zhang of a school thinks that although the system, management and curriculum of colleges and universities are inevitably unreasonable and imperfect, it is definitely wrong for students to spend money to find someone to take the place of classes. The certificate obtained by surprise test alone does not work in practical application. Giving up classes to practice is even more worrying. From this perspective, "substitute families" should never exist in schools.
Youth Times once reported that a university in Beijing has many "attendance machines". On the school BBS, some people posted advertisements to take classes for others and help take notes, and the business was booming. In addition, the school has also bred professional substitute agents to match the coordination time between truants and substitutes and collect kickbacks from them.
The World Manager Digest exposed an upgraded version of skipping classes in a university in Jiangsu, namely "substitute students of campus majors". They charge a substitute fee of 15 yuan to 20 yuan according to the difficulty and level of substitute. At the same time, the school also has supporting institutions to match truants and substitutes.
