The issue of urban left-behind children has been constantly exposed with the level of urbanization reached 46.6%, population reached 622 million in the urbanization process of China. However, the corresponding research is rarely involved. Children are the future of our nation in relating to the national quality and the future construction of a harmonious society. Nowadays, urban left-behind children has become the new social vulnerable groups. Therefore, the author carries out some empirical research in this field, which serves a modest spur to induce others to come forward with valuable contributions.

In the family, family patterns have changed since one parent or both became migrant workers. Left-behind children are influenced in a degree for lacking of family education, which mainly reflects on academic performance, moral behavior, mental health, personal safety and so on. In the school, school education is out of line with the students'real lives. Pragmatism ideology has penetrated in the school and influenced the universal ethical principle orientation of students gradually. Teachers almost only concern on students'academic performance. The level of trust is very low between the teachers and children. Education behaviors seriously lag behind the educational ideals. School education has no corresponding measures for the group or individual left-behind children, and a series of educational resources on'Left'are not effectively integrated and so on.The issue of left-behind children is not only a question of families or schools, but also involves in government and social fields.
