After studying under the teacher, I often hear my peers say, "Mr. China wants to be utilitarian and teach whatever he takes."

The speaker's view that "teachers should be utilitarian" hit my heart and made me think deeply about the identity and responsibility of teachers again.

Han Yu, a man in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in Teacher's Theory: "A teacher is a teacher, so he is taught by his profession." But today's teachers have misinterpreted "preaching and teaching to solve doubts" intentionally or unintentionally. In their eyes, teachers are nothing more than teaching methods to solve problems, giving students the work of exams and solving doubts in exams. Driven by teaching utilitarianism, many teachers turn teaching and students into test-oriented tools, and no longer regard the classroom as an altar for educating people.

Understanding the identity of a Chinese teacher in this way is tantamount to equating a teacher with a job of making a living, paying standardized labor and obtaining quantifiable student achievements in exchange for salary rewards. As Jie Zheng, an "alternative principal", worried in "New Suggestions for Teachers 100", the consequences of doing so are always the same: "Perhaps, teachers' beliefs, personal pursuits and individual, leisurely, spiritual and unique life experiences are gradually disappearing. The function of teachers as spiritual teachers and soul engineers has weakened, so that teachers are no longer respected by society, and even students no longer respect and respect them. "

Chinese is the most spiritual subject. Teachers not only impart knowledge, but also exchange feelings with students and infiltrate together. If the Chinese class is weakened into simple memory training, which is something anyone can do, why do you still need the profession of Chinese teacher?

I remember an unforgettable saying by Yu Yi, a predecessor in the field of Chinese: I want to teach Chinese all my life and be a Chinese teacher all my life. Teacher Yu Yi is a person who takes Chinese teaching as his lifelong career. I have never heard her say that Mr. China wants utility, because what we feel from her is that "being a teacher is like a constant ferryman". Chinese teachers should enlighten people's ignorance, solve people's cover-up, and overcome students' spiritual suffering. How much role can Chinese education play in cultivating students' spirit? On this issue, the famous scholar Professor Qian Liqun once said: "When people look back on their lives, they often mention that it is the Chinese teacher who has the greatest spiritual influence on them. Chinese education in middle schools is to lay two foundations-the foundation of lifelong learning and the foundation of spirit. "

Einstein also had an interesting and thought-provoking exposition on education in On Education: "If you forget everything you learned in school, then the rest is education." If China teaches students with a strong utilitarian heart, what will students leave behind after forgetting their previous education? It is thought that Professor Qingchang Liu of Shanxi University defines the realm of teachers as "educational extradition", and teachers should ferry students from "uncivilized and savage areas" to "the other side of wisdom and civilization", because Chinese teachers are not only the imparting of knowledge, but also the spiritual guide of students. If so, the extradition of education in China can internalize many lasting spiritual qualities of students, such as criticism, questioning, wisdom, civilization and democracy.

Excellent Chinese teachers give students not the technical examination and training methods, but the subtle influence of behavior and thought. Zhu Qingsheng's Nineteen Zagreb Poems describes Lu Xun's memory of studying with Mr. Zhang Taiyan, saying that the teacher's Shuo Wen Jie Zi has long been forgotten, but "Mr. Zhang's voice and smile are still there". Teacher Zhang Taiyan is knowledgeable, open-minded and progressive, and has always been respected by Mr. Lu Xun. Mr. Lu Xun's Two or Three Events about Mr. Taiyan highly praised his heroism of "A hero is imprisoned, and the world is also sad" and his heroism of "Being hunted down seven times and imprisoned three times, but his revolutionary ambition is indomitable", which is called "a model for future generations". Nowadays, the traditional teaching methods have undoubtedly declined. Teachers in China seldom inherit the excellent heritage of traditional education consciously or unconsciously. What's more, a few people can preach and teach in the teaching process, and even set an example, and become a bright light and a star on the road of students' life with their distinctive personality and spirit.

Chinese teachers should be idealists, and more importantly, they should be idealists who constantly practice for the sake of educational beliefs. If a Chinese teacher has no ideal, no faith and no spiritual pursuit, it is difficult for his students to stand up.

When I think of the teacher's speech, I sigh and think of a sentence of Quyi in "Teacher's Realm": "It doesn't matter if you can't do it, save it for a beautiful appreciation, or pursue it as a group realm!"
