In fact, the physical education teacher as a class teacher is not new, as early as three years ago, the physical education class teacher has been reported by good parents for a round.
At that time, several major official media voiced, and the Ministry of Education also made an explanation: "Not only physical education teachers can be class teachers, but also music, art, labor, science and technology teachers." ”
But to this day, there are still many parents who feel that the physical education teacher is not the main teacher, does not understand the child's learning, if he serves as a class teacher, it will affect the child's academic performance, and will also bring the hip-hop and playful atmosphere to the classroom and affect the image of the class.
Why can't a PE teacher be a class teacher? Maybe it's time to make a name for the PE teacher.
01
The head teacher of the sports major, there are too many benefits
A middle school in Nanjing has always had a tradition of physical education teachers serving as class teachers, from one physical education class teacher 20 years ago to almost all physical education teachers serving as class teachers today, which not only did not cause teaching accidents, but won the praise of parents and children.
Facts have proved that the class in which the physical education teacher served as the class teacher not only did not lag behind, but also ranked among the best in terms of class atmosphere and discipline management, and the school's physical education team was rated as an excellent teaching and research team at the municipal level.

First of all, PE teachers are more energetic, which is conducive to creating a positive class atmosphere.
Physical education teachers are enthusiastic and energetic, often have more contact and interaction with students, and it is easier to "mingle" with classmates and become close friends of classmates, and their healthy and positive attitude to life will also infect students.
Under the leadership of the PE teacher, the students will also be more united and become a positive class group.
Secondly, PE teachers have more time and are able to solve students' problems in a timely manner.
A physical education teacher joked on social media that he usually does not have to change homework, and has more time than other class teachers, so he manages the class more strictly than other classes.
In the face of heavy class teacher work, physical education teachers also have a more dominant physical fitness, usually need to focus on self-study, follow early reading, supervise recess exercises, organize class activities, most of them can easily complete.

Finally, PE teachers know more about management and have an advantage in cohesion of the team.
Physical education teachers attach great importance to the cultivation of teamwork and competitive spirit, and these values can also play a role in class management, cultivating students' spirit of cooperation, collective honor and healthy sense of competition.
As for the "physical education teachers do not know how to learn" proposed by some parents, you know, the current physical education teachers are not bad, many of them are undergraduate or even graduate graduates, and there is no problem in taking primary and secondary school students to read texts and memorize words.
Don't look at PE teachers with prejudice, they are not only qualified to be class teachers, but also up to the job.

The standards of class teachers reflect parents' expectations of their children
The standard for parents to measure an excellent class teacher reflects behind it, which is actually the standard by which parents measure their children.
In the past, parents usually took grades as the only criterion for evaluating their children, thinking that good learning is a good child, coaxing and praising every day to meet the various needs of children, and once the child is labeled as a bad student, he becomes a bad child who is disobedient in the eyes of his parents.

Nowadays, there is an increasing emphasis on the importance of quality education and all-round development. Many parents accept this concept on the surface, but when faced with the choice of class teacher, they still think that children go to school only to learn, and should resist those people and things that do not help their children's learning.
If parents only want their children to do well in school and feel that other aspects of growth and development are not important, then they will hope that the class teacher is a non-language teacher and watches their children's learning every day.
But if parents want their children to develop in an all-round way, it doesn't really matter what major the class teacher is, because teachers of any major can educate their children in ideology and moral character and guide their behavior habits, without needing to be proficient in a certain field of expertise.
On the other hand, whether the class teacher does a good job or not is never linked to the subject or major, but depends on the teacher's ability to perform his duties and sense of responsibility.

My girlfriends often complained to me that the teacher's primary school class teacher was the Chinese teacher of their class, and the class was good, but the teacher was not moral, and often insulted the children and parents.
Children are most afraid of Chinese class now, for fear that if they say the wrong thing when answering questions, they will be called "pigs" by the teacher.
Such a homeroom teacher not only fails to improve the child's academic performance, but also affects the child's interest in learning and makes the child reject the school.
German educationalist Stephen once said: "The art of education is not to impart skills, but to inspire, awaken and inspire." ”
The role of class teachers is not to impart knowledge and skills, but to cultivate students' thinking and morality, stimulate children's potential, and encourage them to actively explore and dare to try.

Don't substitute your child's feelings for your parents' experiences
A mother said online: "Of the more than a dozen classes in the school, only two classes have physical education teachers as class teachers, and our class occupies one." The child came back and said a lot happily, but I was very scared. ”

Why is there a situation where "children are happy, but parents are not worried"? This can't help but bring to mind the saying, "There is a coldness that makes your mother think you are cold".
Many parents will use the perspective of adults to understand their children, replace their children's feelings with their own experience, and easily help their children express their opinions and make decisions, but they do not listen carefully to their children's ideas.
For example, if a child wants to try a new outdoor activity, parents may feel too risky and prevent the child from exploring independently.
Children are ostracized and bullied at school, and feel very lost, but parents feel normal and indifferent, which will cause secondary harm to children.
If parents always stand on their own standpoint, evaluate their children, understand their children, and guide their children from a high position, not only can they not help their children's growth, but they will also become a stumbling block to their future development.

Looking back on their student days, many people have a common memory: physical education teachers are often "sick", and they have feet and gastroenteritis at every turn, so physical education classes are often occupied by the main class.
When the physical education teacher becomes the class teacher, the children not only do not have to worry about the physical education class being occupied, but also have a positive and lively learning atmosphere and a life rhythm that combines work and rest.
Isn't this a good thing for children's learning?
