Resist bad habits and cast a noble teacher's soul

People say that teachers are silkworms, candles, and cattle that work silently, but I think that teachers are more engineers of the soul, propagators of civilization, and responsible for the continuation of learning from the saints.

Teachers should be sacred and perfect—not to consider gains and losses, only to give, not to take, to give youth to children, to dedicate life to education. In a sense, the teacher is God, the engineer of the soul, the savior and preacher like Shakyamuni of Buddhism and Jesus of Christianity.

Just like the modern educator Mr. Tao Xingzhi "came with a heart and did not take half a blade of grass", teachers should have a noble personality charm, be respected and emulated by the world, become a model for the world, and profoundly affect the moral feelings and spiritual world of a group of students. In admiration, students silently produce self-motivation, self-cultivation and self-transformation of thoughts and behaviors. On the contrary, if the teacher's personality is not sound, his words and deeds are improper, his work is rough, his sense of responsibility is not strong, he has no love for his students, and he is not honest and unclean, it will have a greater negative effect on the development of students, so that students will have a sense of distrust of people, things, and society, and even lose confidence in the future.

We have seen that in the Sichuan earthquake, a number of teachers with high moral character like Tan Qianqiu and Qu Wanrong emerged. They protected the students with their lives and forged the soul of the teacher with their blood. They are exemplary teachers, and their heroic act of saving people is a concentrated embodiment of noble teacher morality. However, we also see that there are also outliers such as "Fan XX" in the teaching team. Only consider their own safety, not the student's life. Although "Fan XX" is an outlier and a minority, we must constantly torture our own souls - how far are we from "Fan XX"? Although we have not ignored the lives of students, we ask ourselves whether we have ever inflicted corporal punishment on students, whether we have asked parents for money, and whether we have forced students to make up classes in disguise...? It cannot be denied that such a reality is happening around you and me. So, what makes the love of teachers pale, and what makes the spirited young teachers disregard the dogma of teacher morality? It is the social reality of lack of love and freedom and impetuosity that confuses the eyes of teachers. It is the social atmosphere of competing with each other and chasing fame and profit that shakes the moral bottom line of teachers. Shi De was isolated and crumbling in the fierce wind and rain of reality.

It is true that the moral decline in today's society is an indisputable fact, and the superstition of power and the pursuit of money have broken people's will. As a result, some people hollow out their minds to seek benefits, do not hesitate to reverse black and white, invert the beauty and ugliness, and only ask the results by any means. There is no doubt that teachers will also be affected by the bad atmosphere, in order to obtain money, in order to obtain profits, to extend the hand of greed to students, to do all kinds of ugly things that corrupt the morality of teachers.

Gong Zizhen said: "If everyone knows that there is shame, the country will never be shameless; if a soldier does not know shame, he will be a great shame for the country." In order to solve the social problems of moral decline and lack of faith, the Party Central Committee made a decision at the Sixth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee to develop and prosper culture and build a socialist moral value system at an appropriate time. "Touching China", "China's Good People", "Hebei Good People"... The selection of various moral models is very popular. "The most beautiful mother", "the most beautiful driver", "the most beautiful teacher"... All kinds of advanced figures were born in response to the situation. These moral models are the models of social morality and the backbone of China. "Learn to be a teacher, and behave in a worldly manner." In this great change in socialist moral values, teachers should take advantage of the momentum and walk in the forefront of socialist spiritual construction. We must be able to guard the poverty and loneliness, withstand the temptation of reality, resist the torrent of social moral decline with lofty teacher morality, and adhere to the campus, the garden of Eden of the human spirit. Through educating the next generation, we will cultivate the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and re-establish the socialist moral value system.

In the new situation, to enhance teacher morality is to consciously resist the influence of bad social trends and not to use the convenience of one's position to seek private interests. Education itself, as a kind of educational activity, cannot replace the law of educational activity with the law of economic activity, and cannot equate the process of educating people with the process of commodity exchange. In recent years, some people have taken educational activities as for-profit activities, and made money the starting point of all activities - forcing students to buy textbooks from designated bookstores to benefit from them, inducing students to apply for a certain "well-known school" and extracting profits, and even selling the bonus system of some examinations as "commodities" for profit... These acts have had a serious negative impact on the Party's educational cause and the image of great teachers. Therefore, in order to enhance the moral cultivation of teachers, we must persist in putting righteousness first, putting selfish interests second, resisting the temptation of money and fame and fortune, resisting corruption and degeneration, not taking ill-gotten gains and illegal benefits, not coveting the property of students and parents, not contaminating bad habits in society, and always setting an example for students and the world with honest moral behavior.

To improve the morality of a teacher is to love the whole world, and there is no class in teaching. Mr. Tao Xingzhi said: "There is Watt under your whip, Newton in your cold eyes, and Edison in your ridicule." "On the teacher's mental scale, giving every student should be the same weight. Teach impartially and teach with integrity. Treat every student fairly and justly in education and teaching activities. It does not show different forms because of the differences in the gender and intelligence of the students, and does not adopt different attitudes and emotional patterns because of the differences in the students' family situation and whether the student's father is "Li Gang".

To enhance the morality of a teacher is to teach by example and to behave in the world. As "engineers of the human soul", teachers should take the lead in everything and always pay attention to their words and deeds. Elementary school teachers work for growing minors with great plasticity, and the moral performance of teachers can affect students' lives. As a teacher, the power of example is infinite, and its teaching is bound to be more important than words, so the pursuit of excellence in their own professional ethics and the pursuit of high standards are shaping the hearts of children and building the foundation of our future national moral quality. Therefore, whatever students are required to do, they must do first. Adhere to the lofty moral sentiments, truly embody the image of truthfulness, benevolence and beauty, use their own practical actions, and use the image of a noble and beautiful people's teacher to influence students and edify students, thereby promoting the improvement of social moral standards and promoting the construction of socialist spiritual civilization.

Since I have chosen the profession of teacher, I have the obligation and responsibility to use the good spiritual outlook of teachers to compose the song of the people's teachers in the new era on the holy land of the campus. Since I have stepped onto this "three-foot podium," I should always keep in mind the lofty professional ethics of "teaching with integrity" and "teaching in peace and happiness," and let it remind me from time to time -- resist all unhealthy trends and forge a noble and enthusiastic soul.
