The school and government hotlines have responded that students from a certain school in Dongguan will be charged 200 yuan for a semester of lunch break while lying at their desks
On August 28th, a school in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, paid 200 yuan for a semester's lunch break while lying on a table, which sparked a heated discussion among netizens. A netizen posted a screenshot of a group chat where school teachers charge lunch break fees. Screenshots show that every semester, sleeping on the stomach costs 200 yuan, lying flat costs 360 yuan, and the bed costs 680 yuan, all of which are voluntary principles. On August 29th, the staff of the school stated that this is a document issued by Dongguan City, and parents can choose voluntarily. Teachers will manage it uniformly.
The staff of Dongguan 12345 government service hotline responded that as early as 2019, there was a document about lunch break, titled "Notice on Promoting the Work of Lunch Break Service for Primary and Secondary School Students in Dongguan City". "The lunch break service is a service fee, which is voluntary participation and charged based on actual costs."
