Question 1: Why doesn't the teacher study? Teacher Zhu tells the truth: Teachers study less and less, and teachers spend less and less time on their studies.
I haven't studied whether there are fewer and fewer teachers studying, but as a teacher, I do feel that teachers spend less and less time studying. Complicated affairs occupy the time that teachers should have read, prepared lessons and written; All kinds of activities make teachers in a hurry and tired, so how can they have the energy to study?
Several teachers in the office often laugh at themselves during rare work breaks: they start to be busy as soon as they walk into the school gate every day, and sometimes they don't even have time to sit down for a drink in the morning. Everyone always sighs helplessly. In this era, teachers' homework has almost become a sideline, and the main task has become to complete various extra tasks imposed on teachers and students by various departments. Schools, teachers and students seem to be good carriers for government departments to carry out and complete various tasks. No matter which administrative department in society has the right to assign various activities and tasks to schools in the name of various competitions and awards. As long as these tasks are assigned, teachers have to organize students to complete them. If you don't finish them well, maybe the school leaders will force you to finish them with evaluation. In this way, how can a teacher who has to work and take care of his family and children find the energy? Where is the time? Where is the mood? Where can I sit quietly and read a book I like or a book I have to read?
Listening to Mr. Bob's live lecture in the evening, one sentence touched me: He said that every Chinese teacher should live a life with words every day. Now I see a sentence from Teacher Zhu: Without a good life, it is difficult to have wonderful reading. She also said that making a physically and mentally exhausted human body realize that "reading is a kind of enjoyment and happiness" is like turning a desert into an oasis overnight, but thinking about it is only a beautiful thing. Unconsciously immersed in it, it takes not only time but also mood. Both teachers' words are reasonable. I like them and agree with them. For me, reading is a kind of enjoyment and happiness since I was a child. When I was a child, in the countryside, there were few books, and extra-curricular books were even rarer. It's rare to have extra-curricular books, and I have to avoid my mother when I read them. Mom can't read. In her opinion, all books except textbooks are idle books. So as long as I see the "idle books" in my hand, my mother will definitely scold me, and I will definitely feel that I have not studied hard. Even so, compared with other rural children, I was lucky and happy when I was a child. Dad is a teacher and a book lover. I remember when I was very young, there was a bookcase on the wall near the window in my north house. I dare say that bookcase is definitely the only bookcase in our village. Most of the bookcases are junior and senior high school Chinese textbooks collected by my father, and some are classical novels such as Elvis Presley and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. At that time, my father was the headmaster of the village primary school. There are subscriptions to People's Daily, Gansu Daily and one of my favorite newspapers in the school. I remember calling it Youth Digest. At that time, as long as I took the newspaper home, I would read every word, even the advertisements in the gaps of the newspaper. Youth Digest made me remember a lot of extracurricular knowledge. I remember that at that time I would use some notebooks with plastic covers to extract a lot of common sense about science, literature, history, geography and so on. Such excerpts greatly enriched my knowledge reserve. I remember that in the first few years, I taught in a primary school in the suburbs of the county. At that time, the Internet was not as popular as it is now. If my colleagues encounter any problems, I can probably speak a little, so everyone jokingly called me "PHS" at that time. When I was a child, my father subscribed to a magazine every year, which was the famous "Scholar". In the 1980s, this book was called Reader's Digest. That's also my favorite. Until now, Reader is also a magazine that I must buy and read every issue.
As a Chinese teacher, I feel that I live a life of words every day. Every day, no matter how busy I am at work and how tired I am when I get home, as long as I pick up my favorite book, I will keep reading ... People around me often say that I envy me for reading so many books, but many people around me will fall asleep as soon as I pick up the book. I think this is due to my family environment when I was a child. Although my father never asked me how to read when I was a child, I feel that there are books at home and books everywhere, which is an education, an edification and an influence for children. So today, as a teacher, I often meet parents complaining that their children don't like reading. Usually, the first question I ask them is: "Do you have any books at home? Have you read books with your children? " I told them that if all children can see are books, if parents can put down their mobile phones and pick up books at the right time, and if parents can take time to accompany their children to the bookstore, browse books and buy books every weekend, then as children, there is no reason not to love books.
Teacher Zhu said that for teachers tempered by exam-oriented education, it is difficult to make reading a way of life unless they cultivate interest and develop the habit of reading from an early age, because common sense tells us that once any interest is missed in the early development, it is difficult to really develop. I think if I tell my parents the second half of Mr. Zhu's words, they will probably pay more attention to the cultivation of children's early reading habits.
