One slap in the face, two teeth, who pays for the trauma of the child?
An apology, 100,000 compensation, who is testing the bottom line of morality?
When the whip becomes a murder weapon, and when the teacher falls off the altar, how can we protect the smiles of children? Let us enter this little-spoken topic that has plagued us for many years, unveil the layers of fog of school violence, and explore a good way to reform ourselves in education.
The price of blood: the child's two teeth, in exchange for an apology from the teacher?
An ordinary campus, with immature smiling faces, should be a pure land of books and laughter. But on this day, a slap in the face shattered the innocence of children and the dignity of education.
The 11-year-old child was slapped twice by the teacher just because of an untidy piece of clothing, and the two teeth left him forever.
The child's mouth was full of blood, his eyes were full of tears, and his heart was full of incomprehension and grievances. At this moment, he was too young to understand why his beloved teacher would be so ruthless.
In the infirmary, the child's wounds were treated simply, but the wounds in his heart were not cared for. The principal and the teacher hurried over, and they only bowed their heads and apologized, as if everything could be easily turned over.
However, have they ever thought about what it means for these two knocked out teeth? At the age of 11, it is the critical period for changing teeth, and these two teeth may never grow back.
From now on, the child will have to face the embarrassment of missing teeth, the strange eyes of his classmates, and the disability of his life. And is all this really worth just a word of sorry?
Some people say that the teacher is also out of control for a while, and there is no intention of harm. But violence is violence, and for whatever reason, it should not be a means of education.
What's more, this is just the tip of the iceberg that has surfaced. In front of such a teacher, how much more do children have to experience unknown humiliation and injury? Will their self-esteem and enthusiasm for learning be shattered by a little bit of blowing, just like those two teeth?
An apology in exchange for the child's lifelong shortcomings. The price is too heavy. But what is even more heart-wrenching is that in the process of pursuing responsibility, how many people stand in the position of children?
Is the parents' claim of 100,000 yuan asking for a sky-high price, or is it a helpless move? Can a child's physical and mental trauma really be measured and compensated for with money? Every child should have a childhood full of sunshine without fear.
100,000 compensation, is it a lion's mouth or should it be?
When the child's two teeth were knocked out, the parents angrily demanded $100,000 in damages. For a time, this number became the target of public criticism.
Some people say that this is the parents taking advantage of the fire to rob, and the lion opened his mouth; Some people say that this is a matter of course, and whoever let the teacher commit the murder first. One by one, the keyboard warriors seem to have become the judges of the incident, arguing fiercely in the online courtroom.
But when we put aside our emotions and calmly examine this number, we will find that behind it is the cost of a wounded child, the trauma of a family, and the flaws of an education system.
Some people questioned whether 100,000 yuan was too much? After all, the teacher had apologized and the school had negotiated. But the question is, can an apology make a child's teeth grow back?
Can negotiation erase the shadow in the child's heart? We might as well try to feel the mood of the parents from their point of view. A healthy and lively child, suddenly turned into a poor little toothless child.
From then on, he may have to endure physical discomfort, face the ridicule of his classmates, and suffer an inferiority complex in his heart. And all of this takes time and money to fix. Dental implants, plastic surgery, plus psychological counseling, 100,000 yuan may be just a starting point.
What's more, how to repair the child's wounded heart?
Some people say that even if you want to pay compensation, you can't do so much. After all, the teacher didn't mean it, let alone support his family. Such a voice seems to imply that parents should not be too harsh and should be considerate of teachers' difficulties.
But if we think about it from another angle, if the abuser is not a teacher, but a stranger, will we still be so tolerant? Violence is violence, harm is harm, and no matter who the abuser is, they should pay the price.
What's more, as educators, teachers are expected to take on more responsibilities than ordinary people. Their words and deeds affect the growth of children. If you can't adhere to even the most basic teacher ethics, how can you take on the heavy responsibility of teaching and educating people?
Of course, we can't put all the blame on the individual teacher. Behind this incident are the shortcomings of the entire education system. For too long, we have placed too much emphasis on the authority of teachers and neglected the rights and interests of students.
Corporal punishment and verbal abuse seem to have become a "commonplace" in education in the eyes of some people. But as everyone knows, every violence can ruin a child's future.
The claim of 100,000 yuan is not only a warning from parents to teachers, but also an appeal to the whole society. Only by establishing a sound supervision mechanism and strengthening the building of teachers' ethics and style of teaching can we fundamentally prevent the recurrence of tragedies.
100,000 yuan, which seems to be expensive, is actually insignificant. No amount of money pales in comparison to the healthy growth of a child. But if this number can arouse more people's attention and promote the process of education reform, it will be worth it.
After all, what we want is not only compensation, but also a safe and dignified environment to grow up. Every child should have a fearless childhood, and every teacher should also take love and responsibility as the background color of education.
With a single thought, why did the teacher "become" the abuser?
We are all shocked and outraged by the tragic fact that a child had two teeth knocked out. In this incident, there is nothing more incomprehensible than what the teacher did. How can a person who is supposed to guide the healthy growth of his children become a violent perpetrator in the first thought?
When we condemn teachers for their negligence, we should reflect on the underlying reasons behind them. After all, every teacher has had the ideal of teaching and educating people, and what made them deviate from their original intentions and embark on the road of no return?
On the front lines of education, teachers are under unimaginable pressure. On the one hand, they have to face the differences in students' personalities, teach them according to their aptitude, and teach them patiently. On the other hand, they also have to deal with the expectations of parents, the demands of superiors, and the judgment of society.
Under such pressure, some teachers will inevitably feel physically and mentally exhausted and emotionally out of control. Especially when they encounter "problem students", the negative emotions that have accumulated for a long time may explode in an instant. A cruel word or a slap may just be an outlet for pressure catharsis, but it invisibly hurts students and destroys the trust between teachers and students.
But pressure is not an excuse for a teacher's violence. As educators, they deserve a higher level of professionalism and emotion management skills. Unfortunately, these critical competencies are often overlooked in the current teacher development and management system.
Many teachers are given the aura of "educators" the moment they step on the podium, but they do not receive adequate psychological construction and behavioral guidance. They are often at a loss in the face of stress and conflict, and even use violence. This not only hurts the students, but also causes the teachers themselves to suffer and blame themselves.
Teacher ethics should not only be a slogan, but should also be reflected in all aspects of education. To strengthen teacher ethics education, it is not only necessary to strengthen teachers' sense of responsibility ideologically, but also to help teachers improve their emotional management and communication skills from practice.
Psychological counseling and stress counseling are carried out regularly to provide professional support and care to teachers. At the same time, it is also necessary to establish a scientific evaluation mechanism, so that teachers' moral performance can become an important indicator of teachers' evaluation. Only in this way can we fundamentally prevent and reduce the occurrence of violence against teachers and create a good education ecology.
One thought, heaven and hell are only a thin line. Every teacher should always be vigilant and nourish the hearts of students with love and wisdom, instead of hurting their dignity with violence.
On the road of education, teachers are not only imparters of knowledge, but also shaper of personality. Only by leading by example and teaching with virtue can we win the trust and respect of students. Only by establishing an equal, democratic, and fraternal teacher-student relationship can the true meaning of education be demonstrated.
Under the haze of violence, how to protect the smile like a flower?
When one school violence incident after another is exposed, we can't help but ask: how many more times will such a tragedy be staged? Some data show that in 2022 alone, hundreds of school violence incidents occurred across the country, and the victims covered all ages from kindergarten to college.
corporal punishment, verbal abuse, beatings, sexual assault...... The campus, which was supposed to be the safest place, became the "hardest hit area" of violence.
In the face of these alarming figures, none of us can afford to stay out of it. After all, it is not only the bodies of those children who are hurt, but also the future of the whole society.
School violence is by no means a problem of schools or teachers, but reflects the educational ecology of the whole society. To eradicate violence once and for all, schools, teachers, parents, and all sectors of society need to work together to weave a dense protective net and build a strong firewall.
Schools should establish a sound safety management system, improve the construction of teaching staff, and regularly carry out safety education and mental health education. Teachers should strengthen their moral cultivation, learn modern educational concepts and methods, and influence students with love and patience.
Parents should communicate more with their children, detect their children's abnormal emotions in time, and seek professional help if necessary. All sectors of society should create a good atmosphere of public opinion and provide strong support for the development of education. Only by forming a joint force can we weave a protective umbrella and hold up a safe sky for every child.
In the final analysis, the key to preventing school violence lies in building a harmonious teacher-student relationship. The true meaning of education has never been simple discipline and control, but the exchange of equals, fraternity and mutual trust.
Teachers should learn to empathize, look at each student with appreciation and tolerance, listen patiently to their voices, and respect their personality development.
At the same time, it is also necessary to make rational use of educational wisdom to guide students to establish correct values and cultivate their sense of self-discipline and responsibility. Only when a deep emotional bond is established between teachers and students can education be revitalized and revitalized.
Epilogue:
Tearing away the camouflage of "the dignity of the teacher", what we see is a fresh and fragile life. Students are not clay sculptures to be beaten, and teachers should not be judges.
The true meaning of education lies in love and respect, and only when it is nourished by appreciation and tolerance can children's talents blossom.
Let us work together to build a school full of trust without fear, so that children can grow up healthily in laughter and laughter, and teachers can regain their mission and dignity in their posts. Only in this way can education bid farewell to the "haze of violence" and usher in a "spring blossom" tomorrow.
