All around China student are writing Da Zi Bao, which are writings on posters that criticize the educational system. The students are making these during their school time and posting them all over their schools. This prevents the students from learning anything.Da Zi Bao posters should be banned and the students forbidden to write them.

I think the students are wasting their own time writing the Da Zi Bao and they are not learning anything in school as a result. Also many of the writings say untrue statements about the teachers which is another reason why the Da Zi Bao is a waste of time. Another reason why the Da Zi Bao are a waste of time is because they take a while to make and since all the kids are making them the posters are not going to stand out or make a huge difference. The Da Zi Bao have also caused innocent teachers suffering, they might have lost their jobs or were punished by the red guard. The Da Zi bao are horrible and should be eliminated.

Others might think that the Da Zi Bao are helpful and shows what teachers really are. They might think that it is good to have students know that the teachers are dangerous because they teach bad ideas. Also they might think it helps the students who normally struggle in school to contribute, and sometimes this may be true but writing negative things about people might negatively affect someone. Also many teachers are innocent and don’t deserve to be criticized.

            The Da Zi Bao are corrupting the youth and making them hate their old teachers. Most teachers have done nothing wrong and the posters should stop being written and teared off the walls of all school.
