Recently, the Wuluo School in Wuyi County, Hengshui, Hebei Province, was exposed to a female teacher physically punishing students, which aroused media attention, and the female teacher was subsequently dismissed by the school.
According to some videos circulating online, female teachers instructed other students in the classroom to press a student to the ground and repeatedly physically punished the student with a stick.
The beaten student was a boy, and during the beating of the female teacher, the boy knelt on the ground and cried out" "Don't run". The student was allegedly motivated by "non-discipline" and "unfinished assignments."
The female teacher is Yao Mou, the class teacher who was beaten, and has been dismissed. The school has also been criticized by the whole county, and the main leaders and leaders in charge of the school will be held accountable.
The School is a private school
It is understood that the school is called Wuluo School, which is a boarding private school integrating primary school, junior high school and high school, and the director is Wuluo Education Group.
Wuluo School is divided into three campuses, Wuluo School Campus, Seongnam Primary School Campus, and County New Campus, which are located in the new industrial area, the county seat and the south of the city.
The School of Wuluo now has about 8,600 students and a total of 168 teaching classes. The school's fees for 2021 are:
Primary school: tuition fee 5000 yuan per semester, accommodation fee 600 yuan per semester;
Junior high school: tuition fee 6000 yuan per semester, accommodation fee 600 yuan per semester;
High School: Tuition fee is 10,000 yuan per semester, and accommodation fee is 600 yuan per semester.
In contrast, the fees of the Wuluo school are still relatively expensive. The tuition fee of Hebei public schools is between 600 and 1000 yuan, and the accommodation fee is about 350 yuan.
It is worth mentioning that Wuluo School has won the honorary titles of "Advanced Unit of Social Forces running schools in Hebei Province", "Safe and Stable Civilized Campus", "Civilized Unit" and "Advanced Unit of Quality Education" at the county level.
However, now that the school has produced such a teacher who punishes students, even if he has now been dismissed, the reputation of the school has also been affected to a certain extent.
As a private educational institution, schools should have long strengthened the warning education of "teacher ethics and teacher style education" and "typical cases of violation of teacher ethics and teacher style" for teachers in the whole school.
In terms of "teacher morality and teacher style education", the school should indeed review, and it is not surprising that the main leaders of the school have been held accountable.
The assessment of teacher morality and style has "one-vote veto power"
After the female teacher Yao Mou was dismissed, some netizens "shouted injustice" for her, believing that if these teachers who were serious and responsible and strictly managed students were expelled, then no one would dare to manage students in the future.
In fact, this logical thinking of netizens has a "stealing concept": Yao Mou, who physically punishes students and causes psychological harm to students, is equated with "a teacher who is seriously responsible and strictly manages students".
The Measures for Handling Violations of Professional Ethics by Primary and Secondary School Teachers stipulate that acts of "discriminating against and insulting students, abusing and harming students" are violations of professional ethics and should be dealt with.
The "Rules for Discipline in Primary and Secondary School Education" stipulates that in the process of teaching and managing teacher certification education and implementing educational punishment, the following acts shall not be committed: "corporal punishment that directly causes physical pain by means of beatings, stabbings, etc."; "assigning students to carry out educational punishment on other students".
In the revised draft of the new Teachers Law, the assessment of teachers' morality and teaching style has also been further strengthened. Teachers who violate the teacher's morality and teaching style should be dealt with seriously, and the evaluation of the teacher's morality and teacher's style has "one-vote veto power".
It can be seen that the female teacher Yao Mou was immediately dismissed by the school, in fact, there is no injustice at all; her corporal punishment behavior has completely violated laws and regulations, causing serious psychological harm to students.
In the next step, the female teacher will be held legally responsible in accordance with the law.
How should teachers in the new era properly manage their students?
With the change of the times, the concept and method of education should keep pace with the times. However, many teachers still hold the educational thinking of "yellow thorn sticks make good people" in the past, and in the process of managing students, corporal punishment and insults against students have repeatedly occurred.
This phenomenon of corporal punishment and insulting students is resolutely not allowed in the new era, and teachers should update their educational thinking.
1. Teachers must first keep pace with the times and change the "old-style educational thinking".
From a certain point of view, this kind of "old-style educational thinking" is also one of the important reasons for the contradiction between teachers and students and the contradiction between home and school. Therefore, in the face of the current rapid development of the era of society, both parents and teachers need to change their "old-style educational thinking". "Stick education" is no longer suitable for students in today's society.
2. Teachers should be good at caring for students' psychology, and students' mental health is more important than academic performance.
Teachers who scold students basically have one thing in common, that is, they are "strictly managed" to students. They believe that only strict management can manage good results. However, today's students' mental health problems are more concerning and need to be cared for; in the face of physical and health, academic performance is secondary.
3. Teachers should learn to "teach according to law" to protect both students and themselves.
Both the Teachers Law and the Disciplinary Rules for Primary and Secondary Education give teachers the "right to discipline." Teachers have the right to discipline students who repeatedly violate discipline in accordance with law. When teachers learn to "teach according to law," they will get a "win-win situation", protecting both students and themselves.
Conclusion:
In the past, teachers had "too much power" in the process of educating students, and when students made mistakes, the teacher had the final say. But this is no longer the case, and the "educational power" of teachers has gradually shrunk.
Teachers discipline students by giving only the little power that is allowed to use, and the rest of the part that exceeds their own authority is powerless for teachers.
Teachers should understand that education is not omnipotent; nor is teachers omnipotent. Problems with students should be resolved through joint consultation between parents and teachers within the framework of laws and regulations!
