In recent years, there have indeed been some strange things that are incomprehensible or dissatisfied with the education on the mainland.
These strange conditions reflect some deep-seated problems and contradictions in education, and they deserve our serious analysis and consideration.
Non-teaching work dominates
I saw such a sentence on the Internet: Teachers are busy all the time, but they are not busy with teaching; The principal is in charge of everything, but he is not in charge of teaching.
It was really tearful.
Just as a soldier's duty is to protect his family and defend the country, a doctor's duty is to save lives and help the wounded, and a teacher's duty is to teach and educate people.
However, it is an indisputable fact that in today's primary and secondary schools, teachers have more and more tasks outside of teaching, and the burden of grassroots education is getting heavier and heavier.
In recent years, primary and secondary schools have responded to many types of supervision and evaluation, standard acceptance, inspection and evaluation, etc.
Psychological Counseling, Archives, Demonstration Campus......
Another example is "to carry out the city's xx target management assessment plan", "to create xx characteristic school assessment management plan", "to carry out xx activity plan assessment......
The number of activities is dizzying, and the school has long lost the "main position" of teaching, and the principal has become a "professional household for inspection" and "professional escort".
"Practical work" requires material photos to prove, and the traceism has become a great problem for teachers.
These formalisms are becoming a heavy burden on grassroots schools and teachers, and even more seriously, they are interfering with normal education and teaching activities.
The student becomes God
Teachers are reduced to waiters
There are two words of praise for teachers:
One is "A teacher is a candle that burns itself to illuminate others";
One sentence is "The teacher is a diligent gardener who cultivates the flowers of the motherland".
"Candle" emphasizes the spirit of sacrifice and "Gardener" points to a sense of responsibility, but they have one thing in common, that is, "for the sake of others".
"For others" is the core content of service, so many experts believe that in this sense, teachers are waiters.
It's just that the content of the service is unique, that is, the service of ethics and knowledge.
The place of service is fixed, i.e. the school.
The target audience is specific, i.e., the student.
With the discovery of society and the progress of education, society is emphasizing the need to run an education that satisfies the people.
There is nothing inherently wrong with this philosophy. The fault lies in some people's over-interpretation:
Education that satisfies the people does not mean that education has become a service industry, nor does it mean that education serves students and parents well.
An education that satisfies the people is an education in knowledge and ethics that everyone can learn.
Under the misinterpretation, in the long run, teachers who undertake the task of teaching and educating people begin to become disadvantaged groups.
Become a profession where everyone can criticize and even report.
Is it really a great blessing for education that teachers have been reduced to waiters?
A large number of teachers have no choice but to lie down, is it really what you like to see?
It is forbidden to rank students
Rank teachers in a big way
The state vigorously implements the "double reduction" policy, and the second article of the double reduction clearly stipulates: no ranking of students' grades, our final exam results are presented in a grade system, and students' grades cannot be announced, let alone ranked!
But what is the state of the real school?
On the one hand, the double reduction is implemented, and on the other hand, teachers are ranked.
All teachers will read the ranking of teachers' class grades one by one, and in some places even set up a "black list", and the teachers on the list will face the punishment of deducting performance pay.
What is the logic of not allowing children to grade but teachers to grade grades?
Right and wrong are never determined by right and wrong, but by who has the ability to reverse right and wrong.
The basis for the ranking of teachers is the ranking of students' grades, and the teachers on the black list are afraid, so they can only take the students under the knife, put pressure on the students, brush questions and tests in violation of regulations, in order to improve the students' grades, and other teachers are also afraid of following in the footsteps and desperately involution.
What's the point of going on like this?
Such a strange brain circuit is really the most dazzling wonder among the thousands of flowers in spring!
The water flows downward
People go down
As the saying goes, people go high, and water flows low.
For all industries, there is a desire to move up the ladder.
But in recent years, there has been a very unusual phenomenon in the field of education, in which many secondary school teachers are eager to transfer to primary school.
"People go to lower places" has emerged in the group of teachers, and many teachers would rather go to primary school to teach than to go to middle and high school.
The reason is very realistic, on the one hand, the salary gap between primary and secondary school teachers is not large, on the other hand, primary schools do not need to study in the morning and evening, and the pressure on going to school is relatively small.
"People go to lower places" is also reflected in the fact that many teachers are reluctant to go to the city, preferring to stay in the township.
In the summer selection season, many places are abnormal, and many qualified teachers are unwilling to sign up, and some are not even willing to sign up without even participating in the written test and going directly to the interview.
In the past, teachers in towns and villages had to go to the city with their heads squeezed, but in just a few years, what happened in the middle?
In recent years, the state has given rural subsidies to teachers in townships and towns, and their salaries are higher than those in urban areas.
At the same time, many places have opened a green channel for the evaluation of rural teachers' professional titles, as long as they reach the corresponding working years and meet the conditions, they can be assessed without quota restrictions;
In addition, urban schools have large class sizes, strict management, and high pressure on teaching evaluation, while rural schools are much better than those in rural areas.
Write at the end:
Nowadays, there are more and more problematic students in schools, and it is becoming more and more difficult to be teachers.
Centennial plan, education-oriented, the "root" here is fundamental, the foundation is not good, how to build from the ground?
If the sapling is not planted properly, how can the towering tree grow?
If we grasp all social problems from the root, we can find the cause from education.
As a grassroots educator, I sincerely hope that the "strange status quo" in education will not be taken lightly or even forgotten by people.
Hopefully, in the near future, education in this vast wilderness will be promising.
