Please also give primary and secondary schools a quiet educational sky

Primary and secondary schools carry the important mission of continuing the future, educating people and educating talents, prospering the country, and thriving nation, primary and secondary school campuses must be a quiet and elegant, relatively independent, and not too much interference from the outside world, primary and secondary school teachers as professional and technical personnel, engineers of the human soul, the most glorious profession under the sun, undertake the sacred duty of preaching and teaching, and must have a quiet lectern, which can allow them to cultivate the pulpit, guard the classroom, devote themselves to teaching, and educating people with peace of mind. However, in recent years, especially since the popularization of smart phones, the phenomenon of assigning tasks to primary and secondary schools under various banners, using various guises, and using various names, or completing tasks through primary and secondary schools, has become more and more intense. Some people joke that in addition to funeral homes, other departments and institutions can assign tasks to primary and secondary schools, such as celebration performances, investment demolition, station street duty, patrol pond guards, App downloads, and "fan increases" and "sales" and so on. Some tasks occupy a considerable amount of energy of front-line educators, so that many primary and secondary school teachers are overwhelmed, unbearable, tired of coping, complaining, but also bring a huge burden to the school, interfere with the normal teaching order, but also affect the improvement of school education and teaching quality.

Many of the young teachers I have contacted who have just joined the company have said that they thought that the campus was quiet and quiet, and the teachers were at ease to teach and educate people, and after entering the campus, they found that the campus is so impure, teaching and educating people seems to have become a side job, and doing trivial things that have nothing to do with education and teaching all day is the main business. After they finished the miscellaneous things every day, they were exhausted, but they found that they had lost the energy they put into teaching, and there was little time left.

If primary and secondary schools are tossed around by various apportionments all day long, if primary and secondary school campuses lose the solemnity and tranquility they deserve, if the teachers' physical strength and energy, time and time are all sprinkled on those things that have nothing to do with teaching, I would like to ask, who should worry about the children's learning? Who is responsible for the future of the children? Who should fulfill the mission of teaching and educating people? Who should control the future fate of the country and the nation?

To reduce the burden on primary and secondary schools, but also the clear and refreshing sky of primary and secondary school campuses, from top to bottom, three orders and five affirmations, why is the phenomenon that primary and secondary schools are assigned tasks that have nothing to do with teaching or not, or even more and more serious?

I think that one of the reasons is that some localities and departments believe that primary and secondary schools have a large number of personnel, a large team, and a strong force, and that implementing a thing through schools is not only time-consuming and fast, but also has good results, high efficiency, and easy political achievements. They feel that even if some problems are difficult to solve, some work that is difficult to promote, according to the conventional method, it is possible to complete the difficulty, the effect is slow, and once the apportionment to the school, with administrative means to exert pressure, linked to the target assessment, the school has no choice, and then in accordance with the "principal - class teacher (teacher) - student (parent)" procedure, layer by layer, step by step, which student does not dare to listen to the teacher's words? How many parents dare to be difficult teachers? As a result, it can have an immediate effect, a quick battle, no effort, and receive a multiplier effect with half the effort. As a result, there are predecessors and successors who assign various additional tasks to primary and secondary schools.

Of course, the most fundamental reason, on the one hand, is that formalism and bureaucracy are at work. Some departments are on top, the style of the yamen is prevalent, the guidance work relies entirely on meetings and issuing documents, and the promotion of work mainly depends on reading materials, listening to reports, inspecting and supervising, and appraisal and appraisal; to complete the work, it only aims to "save trouble", play "simple calculations", regardless of the actual situation, indiscriminately, grasp the eyebrows and beards, and evenly allocate tasks, one "spreads" things, and one "sends" everything to be lucky. As for primary and secondary schools and teachers, they have not taken a long view, considered their particularities, and respected their uniqueness. Some may even regard primary and secondary schools as a pawn in the game of power on their own turf, and arbitrarily dispatch and arbitrarily manipulate primary and secondary school teachers as a virtue of shaking the wind, showing power, and brushing the sense of existence. On the other hand, it lacks the traditional virtue of respecting teachers and emphasizing teaching. At present, some formalism to the school continues to transfer, many administrative tasks to the campus, related commercial interests in disguise to invade the campus, in the final analysis, or some localities and departments lack of deep understanding of the importance and particularity of education, for the school, for the teacher, and even for the child, lack of the most basic emotions, the minimum respect, the most devotion. They say that education is important, busy is secondary, and they do not want it when it is critical, reaching out to education, arbitrarily apportioning to primary and secondary schools, and casually "assigning work" to primary and secondary school teachers.

In order to fully implement the "Circular on Prohibiting the Apportionment to Schools of Directive Tasks Such as "Rising Fans," "Evaluating," and "Selling" That Have Nothing to Do with Education and Teaching, issued by the Office of the Education Steering Committee of the State Council, I think we should grasp the following aspects.

First of all, we should adhere to categorical governance and accurate supervision. The strategy of "curing the symptoms" is to check against each other, highlight the key points, strictly clean up and standardize matters unrelated to the teaching of primary and secondary school education, strictly control the inspection and evaluation and assessment items involving schools, strictly implement the approval system for social affairs to enter the campus, and strictly prohibit the allocation of various directive tasks such as "rising fans", "evaluation" and "sales" to schools; The strategy of "curing the root causes" is to grasp the joint management, do a good job in social governance, improve the level of governance, and really form a joint force for primary and secondary schools and teachers to loosen the shackles and reduce the burden. Those whose implementation is ineffective or inadequate should be investigated to the end and seriously held accountable.

Second, the whole society should vigorously promote the pragmatic trend and fundamentally eradicate the soil of reproduction formalism and bureaucracy. Formalism and bureaucracy, as two major cancers, are very harmful to society. If it is allowed to proliferate, spread from society to education, and erode to schools, it will be even more destructive. Because education is a human undertaking and is related to human development. The school is a place to cultivate and shape people, and it is also a place where children's dreams are released and their lives set sail. The uniqueness of education and the persistence of schools determine the purity of education and schools, and cannot be tarnished by any formalism and bureaucracy. It is necessary to return the tranquility of the campus as it should, and to give the teachers their due dignity and dignity, so that the teachers can devote themselves to education and teaching, and undertake the sacred mission of teaching and educating people. Mr. Tao Xingzhi's "thousands of teachings teach people to seek the truth, and thousands of learning to learn to be real people" does not accept the rampage of formalism and bureaucracy on campus, because this is related to whether we can make "true" education, run "real" schools, and cultivate "real" people who are needed for the times.

Third, we should vigorously create and carry forward a good atmosphere of respecting teachers and emphasizing education. Education bears the future of a country and a nation, schools shoulder the lofty mission of cultivating talents, and teachers are an important role in facing the future and shouldering a lofty mission. In everyone's life, no one grows up without benefiting from education, no one can leave school along the way, and no one dares to say that he has not been taught by a teacher in his life. It can be said that our growth is to rely on education, school, and the relay of one teacher after another to ferry us to a certain high ground of life.

"The prosperity of the country will be bound by your teachers" "Respecting education and persuasion, and building the foundation of the country; In a sense, the degree of respect for teachers and re-education reflects not only the ruling consciousness and ability of a locality and department, but also the attitude and feelings of a local and departmental towards education and schools, teachers and children; It not only affects the improvement of the overall quality of the people, but also promotes the progress of the country and the development of society. Respecting teachers and re-teaching is not to say that they are on the lips, hanging on the wall, and writing on documents, but they must be implemented in action. In addition to taking a high look at education, loving education for three points, and treating education as a conscience project that benefits the livelihood of tens of millions of people, the biggest action is to understand the important position of education, support the subjectivity of schools, respect the uniqueness of teachers' work, give education due care, give schools due space, and give teachers due time, due care, and due kindness.

I have the simplest idea, that is, we may be limited by many conditions, and we can't really respect teachers for a while, but we should at least do not disturb education, school, teachers, do not add chaos, do not toss, minimize the additional apportionment tasks for the school, give the education side a quiet space, give the teacher a quiet lectern, give the children a quiet desk, let education return to the proper road, let the school return to its due direction, let the teacher return to their due work.

Only when the burden on primary and secondary schools and teachers is effectively reduced, and when we continue to create a relaxed and quiet educational and teaching environment, and gradually transform this ruling behavior into a long-term and sustained social joint effort, will the ideological concept of respecting teachers and emphasizing teaching truly enter, enter, enter, and enter the heart. Of course, as the competent department of education and primary and secondary schools, for some inexplicable apportionment and burdens from the outside world, we cannot refuse those who come and accept everything according to the order, but should be good at bidding farewell, dare to refuse, have the courage to say "no", reflect a due responsibility and responsibility, a necessary righteousness and confidence!

When the education sky of primary and secondary schools is quiet, the beauty and happiness of education are not far away!
