如何看待中學為防攀比禁止學生穿進口鞋？

A middle school in Jinjiang, East China』s Fujian Province, has apparently banned its students from wearing imported shoes to stop them from competing with each other over who has the fanciest footwear.

近日福建晉江一所中學出台了一項禁令，禁止學生穿進口鞋，從而防止學生互相攀比誰的鞋子最好。

A statement allegedly issued by the Zijiang Middle School went viral on February 24, which said that students have recently begun to compare their shoes with each other on campus. In order to be the coolest kid on the playground, some of the students have asked their parents to purchase them expensive imported shoes, the viral statement said.

2月24日，一份據稱是紫江中學發布的聲明被瘋傳，聲明稱該校學生最近開始互相攀比自己的鞋子。這份聲明稱，為了讓自己成為操場上最閃耀的明星，一些學生要求家長為自己購買昂貴的進口鞋。

In order to curb these comparisons and promote frugality, the school says that students in some grades are now forbidden from wearing imported shoes on campus.

為遏制這種攀比之風、提倡進勤儉節約，該校表示說某些年級的學生現在禁止在學校穿進口鞋。

A teacher at the school surnamed Ye confirmed with news site thepaper.cn that the announcement is genuine and only applies to one of the school』s grades.

該校葉老師向澎湃新聞證實說，這份公告確有其事，但是只適用於該校一個年級。

Ye explained that the school has previously banned students from using cellphones and made them wear uniforms. In the absence of any other sartorial or technological distinction, the students then focused on their shoes. "Some students have even told their parents that they will quit school if they aren』t given good shoes to wear," said Ye.

葉老師解釋說，該校之前曾經禁止學生使用手機，並要求他們穿校服。在沒有好看的衣服和其他高科技設備的情況下，學生們把目光放在了鞋子上。葉老師表示說：「一些學生甚至威脅他們的父母說，如果自己沒有好的鞋子就要退學。」

However, the statement triggered heated debate online, with Net users saying that the statement implies that all Chinese shoes China are cheap.

然而，這一聲明卻在網上引起了熱議，有網民表示說這份聲明的意思豈不是說所有國產鞋都很便宜?

Netizens named several made-in-China shoes that cost thousands of yuan a pair, saying that the students could just buy these shoes and avoid any lesson in frugality.

網民們列出了一些幾千元一雙的國產鞋，表示說學生們可以買這些鞋子，那樣就可以避免被教育勤儉節約了。
