Core Viewpoint - The internal letter from Yu Minhong, founder of New Oriental, sparked controversy by highlighting the disconnect between the poetic imagery of his experiences in Antarctica and the harsh realities faced by employees, raising questions about the social responsibility of entrepreneurs and the fairness of education [1][2]. Group 1: Empathy Crisis and Entrepreneurial Responsibility - The controversy surrounding Yu Minhong's letter reflects a disconnect between individual narratives and collective struggles, emphasizing the lack of acknowledgment of employee pressures and challenges [1]. - Similar instances of "empathy crisis" have been observed with other entrepreneurs, indicating a trend where successful narratives overlook structural inequalities, leading to increased societal anxiety and diminished trust in business leaders [2]. Group 2: Educational Practice and Challenges - The concept of "the rich helping the poor" in education is fundamentally about ethical resource redistribution, requiring not just equal starting points but also efforts to narrow the gaps in processes and outcomes [3]. - New Oriental's transition from K12 training to diversified sectors like quality education and live commerce illustrates a response to policy changes and an extension of corporate social responsibility, yet it raises concerns about whether the focus on new business growth neglects the original mission of educational equity [3][4]. Group 3: Paths to Implement Social Responsibility - Educational enterprises can implement social responsibility through three main pathways: combining hardware investment with software empowerment, enhancing teacher training and career support, and providing targeted assistance to disadvantaged groups [4][5]. - Specific examples include funding for smart classrooms in impoverished schools, teacher exchange programs, and personalized educational plans for vulnerable populations [4][5]. Group 4: Reconstructing Social Responsibility Narratives - The controversy serves as a warning for entrepreneurs to prioritize empathy and action over mere sentiment, suggesting that educational companies should establish two-way communication mechanisms and integrate social responsibility into their core business strategies [5]. - Collaboration with government and industry to promote educational equity is essential, advocating for increased public investment and forming alliances to share resources effectively [5][6].

Core Viewpoint - The recent requirement from Changzheng Primary School in Xinzhou, Shanxi Province, for parents to disclose their social resources on a home-school contact card has sparked widespread controversy, leading to an apology and retraction from the school. The core issue is that the collaboration between home and school should focus on supporting children's growth rather than becoming a "resource exchange" [1][2]. Group 1: Education Principles - The principle of "education without class distinction" has been a fundamental value in Chinese education for over two thousand years, and linking education to parents' social resources contradicts this principle [2]. - The practice of assessing parents' resources can create a hierarchy among families, leading to feelings of inferiority among those with fewer resources, which undermines the concept of equality in education [2][3]. Group 2: Home-School Cooperation - Effective home-school cooperation should be based on equal, voluntary contributions focused on children's needs, such as parents sharing their skills in reading or sports, rather than on their social resources [3]. - The requirement to disclose social resources transforms the nature of home-school relationships into a competition over resources, which detracts from the original intent of fostering collaboration [3][4]. Group 3: Trends in Education - There has been a growing trend of schools conducting "resource surveys" to gather information about parents' social resources, which can lead to a commodification of education and a focus on profit rather than nurturing children's potential [4]. - The shift towards a buyer's market in education, due to declining birth rates, suggests that schools that continue to prioritize resource extraction from parents may face obsolescence [4]. Group 4: Educational Values - Education is fundamentally about nurturing talent and character, and schools should adhere to their educational mission by avoiding short-sighted, profit-driven behaviors [5]. - Upholding the principle of "education without class distinction" is essential for achieving true educational equity and developing well-rounded individuals for the future [5].

Group 1 - The core issue revolves around the inappropriate linking of parental social resources to education, which contradicts the principle of equal education for all children [1][2] - The requirement for parents to disclose their social resources has been criticized as a means of classifying families and potentially creating a hierarchy among students based on their parents' backgrounds [1][2] - There is a growing trend of schools conducting surveys to gather information about parents' social resources, which is seen as a shift from nurturing children's potential to a more utilitarian approach focused on resource competition [2][3] Group 2 - The article argues that education should not be treated as a business that integrates parental social resources, and that the relationship between schools and families should not be a medium for profit exchange [3] - With the declining birth rate in certain regions, the education market is shifting towards a buyer's market, suggesting that schools that continue to adopt a profit-driven mindset may face obsolescence [3] - The importance of maintaining the original educational mission and principles, such as "education for all," is emphasized as essential for fostering true educational equity and developing capable individuals for the future [3]

Core Insights - The article discusses the design and implementation of an "AI Child-Friendliness Assessment" aimed at evaluating mainstream AI models in their interactions with children, particularly focusing on their ability to address children's unique questions and needs [2][4][5]. Assessment Framework - A unique five-layer pyramid evaluation model has been developed to outline the ideal characteristics of an AI partner for children, based on decades of theoretical foundations from education, sociology, and human-computer interaction [4][5]. - The five layers of the model include: 1. **Safety and Reliability**: The foundational layer emphasizing the importance of not causing harm, providing accurate information, and maintaining confidentiality [6]. 2. **Understanding and Growth**: AI should facilitate learning and comprehension, using language that children can understand and encouraging critical thinking [7]. 3. **Empathy and Care**: AI should be capable of recognizing children's emotions and providing genuine encouragement [8][9]. 4. **Relationship Support**: AI should help children build social connections and not isolate them in a virtual environment [10]. 5. **Autonomy and Empowerment**: The highest layer, where AI should respect children's choices and foster their decision-making abilities [11][12]. Performance Evaluation - In the assessment of AI models regarding "left-behind children," significant differences were observed across ten evaluation dimensions, with lower scores in higher-order skills such as empathy and relationship support [20][22]. - The highest scoring dimensions were related to basic safety and reliability, with scores of 4.04 for confidentiality, 3.88 for accuracy, and 3.87 for non-harmfulness, indicating a strong foundational performance [20][48]. - However, higher-order skills like understanding emotions, enabling autonomy, and facilitating friendships scored below 3, highlighting a critical gap in AI's ability to provide emotional and social support [20][48]. Comparative Analysis - The AI model "Deepseek" scored the highest in the assessment, although its performance was not as pronounced in the context of "youth sexual education" [22][48]. - There was no significant difference in the child-friendliness of domestic and international AI models regarding the topic of left-behind children [24][48]. Emotional and Social Dynamics - AI performed best in addressing emotional topics, scoring 3.64, but it primarily exhibited surface-level empathy rather than deep emotional understanding [26][39]. - The assessment revealed that while AI can simulate emotional support, it struggles with providing context-specific guidance and understanding the complexities of real-world situations faced by left-behind children [49]. Implications for Education Equity - The article raises concerns about whether AI will promote educational equity or exacerbate resource inequalities, emphasizing that while AI can democratize access to knowledge, it may also obscure the need for real support systems [50]. - The findings suggest that the most significant inequality lies in the "understanding" gap, where children may relinquish their critical thinking and decision-making to AI, potentially leading to a loss of autonomy [51]. Future Directions - The article advocates for a paradigm shift from merely providing powerful tools to fostering comprehensive human development, emphasizing the need for AI to activate children's self-efficacy rather than replace traditional learning methods [52]. - Ultimately, the goal is to ensure that AI serves as a supportive companion in children's growth, particularly for vulnerable groups like left-behind children, rather than a mere source of information [54][53].
