College students who volunteered to teach and support the institute scolded the students for being stupid and aroused public indignation
On March 11, a female graduate student surnamed Liu of Dalian University of Technology posted a large amount of abusive information on her personal account during her volunteer teaching at Longling No. 1 Middle School in Yunnan Province, which became a hot topic on the Internet and once became the forefront of Weibo hotspots, with nearly 200 million discussions.
In her account, she scolded the children as "stupid", "stupid X", "how can they be so stupid", "intelligence must not be sound", and so on.
It wasn't enough to insult students, she also rose to the level of regional discrimination, saying that the entire Longling County was not as good as a service area in Jiangsu.
After this year's volunteer teaching experience, she came to the conclusion that "in the future, we must stay away from the old border and be poor, and we must go to the eastern coast" for development.
According to the official disclosure of the school, this student Liu is a member of the Yunnan Service Team of the 22nd Graduate Student Support Group of Dalian University of Technology.
Judging from her resume, she is a very good graduate, during her undergraduate years, she served as the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Youth League Committee of the University, and won many honors and awards such as outstanding graduates of Dalian University of Technology, excellent league members, outstanding league cadres, outstanding young volunteers and so on.
The school acted quickly, and Liu's dream was shattered
Some netizens expressed outrage at her remarks, believing that they were discriminating against and abusing rural students:
Some netizens also said: This is the new teacher's psychological gap is too big to complain, do not criticize on the line.
Dalian University of Technology also responded quickly, stating that it would thoroughly investigate the matter and would give a satisfactory result to the outside world.
The day before yesterday, Dalian University of Technology announced the punishment result of this female college student, and directly cancelled the girl's qualification for research.
Although swearing is not right
But rural education really doesn't work
I think it is a little strange that this matter is suddenly on the hot search, but the matter itself, and the attitude reflected by netizens, are worth talking about.
First of all, this Liu classmate's mouth cannon is indeed "powerful", and being disqualified is also self-inflicted, because she did cause harm to the children she taught.
Secondly, the criticism of this Liu classmate should not be on the line and demean her to a penny. When she was young, she was easy to keep her mouth shut, but in any case, she went to a mountainous area and chose to volunteer to teach, regardless of her motivation.
Finally, many netizens said that the people who went to the graduate student support group were impure in motivation and that the project should be canceled. In this regard, I think that the motive is not so important, and it is not necessary to ask saints everywhere, as long as it can really contribute to rural education, it is worth affirming. If there is any significance in discussing this matter, then the significance should be how to improve the incentive mechanism of volunteer teaching, so that rural children can receive better education.
I didn't grow up in the countryside, and I don't really have a say in rural education. However, according to statistics, among the college students in the 1980s, whether it is a key university or a general university, rural students account for the majority, and many universities even reach more than 80%. The vast majority of rural children can change their fate through the college entrance examination and stay in the city to work and live.
But times have changed, and this situation is quietly changing. Premier Wen Jiabao once said: "Almost 80% of the children in the class are rural, and even higher, but now it is different, and the proportion of rural students has declined." It's something I think about a lot." At the same time, the proportion of rural children in higher vocational colleges and universities has increased year by year. According to the "2016 Annual Report on the Quality of China's Higher Vocational Education", from 47% of the class of 2011 to 53% of the class of 2015, accounting for more than half of the students in vocational colleges and universities.
A 2015 sample survey of 1% of the country's population showed that the proportion of the rural population at all levels of education decreased as the level of education increased. Rural population accounts for 54 per cent of the country's population with a high school degree or less, and 67 per cent of the country's illiterate population aged 15 and above is rural.
An important reason why rural children have difficulty accessing higher education is the gap in basic education between urban and rural areas. Although the tone of Liu's speech was bad, she pointed out a fact: in terms of learning atmosphere, rural schools are not as good as urban schools, more truancy, disciplinary behavior, more bad class style, teacher-student relationship, classmate relationship, there are more students in the student generation who are unwilling to learn and perform poorly.
The bad performance of these students will infect and transmit to each other among classmates, thus affecting more students' values, learning attitudes, and even academic performance, education and so on. Among rural children, 29.8% do not have independent desks, 35.63% of households have "few" and "relatively few" books, and 44.77% do not have computers or networks. While these may not all be the causes of the school, the school is the basis for solving the problem. When discussing Liu's "quality", we should not turn a blind eye to these real phenomena.
Only by narrowing the gap between urban and rural education and achieving balanced development of urban and rural education can we meet the opportunities for the rural masses and their children to enjoy a good education, be conducive to achieving educational fairness, and better improve the quality of education and teaching of rural students.
"Refined egoism" driven volunteer teaching
There's nothing wrong with that
Finally, I would like to talk about college student volunteerism and "exquisite egoism." Let's not say that not all the students who support the teaching and research institute take this as a springboard, in order to make it easier to protect the research, let's say that this year's youth time, twenty-somethings, fresh graduates, the golden time in a person's life, with a subsidy of two or three thousand yuan a month, run to the mountain village to support teaching, this skill is worthy of respect, should not overturn a boat of people. Liu's problem is not because she has a utilitarian heart, but because she has not done a good job.
▲The movie "Over the Sky" that reflects the theme of volunteer teaching
Everyone's growth process is different, and not everyone has a great ideal of the world. For most people, having a good meal and having a decent job is the thing to care about. Reading is first for the sake of rice liang, and highly educated college students still can't avoid the shackles of the world. It is not a shameful thing to support education and research. Many things do not last long by moral inspiration, but are driven by profits more effectively. If someone told me that he went to volunteer for the sole purpose of giving and not asking for it, I would even wonder if what he said was true.
Therefore, volunteer teaching is necessary, and it needs to be developed and improved. This kind of teacher resources is very important for mountain children, and these talented and well-educated university students are likely to be the most talented people that these mountain children can access in this life.
Only by allowing the elite talents cultivated by the big cities to feed back the vast backward rural townships and towns can we ensure that some advanced ideas are disseminated, although they are negligible, but it is better than nothing.
I hope that our enthusiasm for attention can promote a little progress in the volunteer education system.
