Anxious parents at an experiment school in Huangpu, Shanghai were upset when the school banned them from purchasing air purifiers for their children’s classrooms.

The school rejected the parents’ proposal because there was no precedent for such a request. The school also thought that it was not right that some classrooms would have air purifiers and others would not. This could cause psychological distress amongst students and make the school more difficult to manage.

Mr. Zhang, a parent and advocate of parent-funded air purifiers in the classroom, took to WeChat to rally support from other parents after the proposal was rejected by the school.

Mr. Zhang said that the school official told him that is was not a question of who would pay for an air purifier, but a question of if the school should have them at all. If parents purchase air purifiers from one classroom, those of other students may feel pressure to do the same.

The school official added that there has been no precedent for something like this from any other school. The Huangpu school may come under criticism from other schools if they accept the proposal.
