In the office, a teacher is patiently answering questions from parents in front of him. She is the first object interviewed by the members of this investigation team-teacher Wan Qiqi, the teaching director of Kaihui School. "At that time, I wanted to experience the fun of being a class teacher. I think I can care more about students. " When the investigation team asked about teacher Wan's consideration of employing people, she replied like this. There are various reasons behind teachers' career choices. Teacher Pan Huayu of Kaihui School said frankly: "At first, I came here only because of the public-funded normal students. At that time, I didn't know enough about the teaching industry. " But now, "happiness" has become their common key word. "Even if they face new challenges every day, children are more teacher-oriented and teaching them will be full of happiness." Teacher Pan, who has been employed for one year, has a satisfied smile on her face.

They are just a microcosm of the female teachers in Kaihui School. Maybe they were dreaming or confused at first, but when they stood on the three-foot platform, responsibility became their conscious choice. Teacher Wan said in an interview that women have contributed a lot of wisdom to rural education. Kaihui School has 22 teachers, 90% of whom are women. Compared with urban education, rural teachers deal with a wider range of affairs. In addition to daily teaching, it has become their duty to care about students' lives.
"Honesty and diligence" is the motto of Kaihui School and the action of every teacher. According to Mr. Wan, the local left-behind children in Kaihui Town account for a large proportion, and mainly their fathers go out to work, and their mothers play a major role in educating their children. In this case, students' mental health has become a key factor for schools to consider. In this context, Kaihui School actively set up a home visit record form, provided sunshine services and psychological counseling services, and established a special student management system. In addition to daily home visits during the semester, teachers will also pay attention to and visit registered key students every month. Grasp both inside and outside the school to help students grow up healthily.
Red Hometown: Spiritual Inheritance under Female Culture
Kaihui School, as the alma mater of Yang Kaihui martyrs, is adjacent to Yang Kaihui Memorial Hall, and has unique advantages in red cultural resources. When the members of the investigation team asked about the school's characteristic education model, all the interviewed teachers mentioned the school's red education practice activities in unison.
"At present, all moral education activities in the school are mainly based on red culture, mainly involving the deeds and spiritual inheritance of local outstanding historical figures such as Yang Kaihui and Miao Boying." Teacher Miao Chubin, director of moral education at Kaihui School, introduced to the members of the investigation team: "We will organize students to visit Kaihui Martyrs Cemetery on Yang Kaihui's birthday, Tomb-Sweeping Day and May Day. Students' practical homework in winter and summer vacations will also involve this aspect, such as listening to the story of the party, understanding the red figures, and collecting advanced models of red learning around them ... "Red education is truly integrated into the daily education of Kaihui School.

After teaching for two years, Mr. Miao was deeply encouraged. She is a teacher and party member. When she heard that the members of the investigation team were interested in the red education in the school, she took the time to explain it to us in detail, even though she was busy with the last business. Among them, the "Little Interpreter" activity jointly organized with Yang Kaihui Memorial Hall was mentioned by her many times. "The staff of the memorial hall will come to the school regularly to train the children, and we will often organize them to study in the memorial hall, so that the children with good performance will have the opportunity to become real practical lecturers. Being able to have the opportunity to go out and practice, the enthusiasm of children to learn the spirit of their ancestors has been improved. "
Carrying forward the red spirit and strengthening moral education, teachers in Kaihui School have truly achieved the organic combination of local red culture and moral education in primary schools.
Young team: the hope of Kaihui education in the future
The teachers in Kaihui School tend to be younger, with an average of only 27 years old, which is the result of a large number of retired old teachers and young teachers applying for jobs. Young teachers have many ideas, lively ideas and full of energy, which have injected fresh "blood" into the school's education.
The new teacher has new ideas and is easier to get close to the students. When interviewing Mr. Miao, the research group caught up with a parent who came to receive the notice of children. Teacher Miao hurried back to the class to get the notice and seriously explained to the parents: "Although the results are not very satisfactory, the children usually perform well in school." The heart of boxing reflects a teacher's concern for his students.
When asked about the overall education situation in Kaihui Town, Teacher Miao said sincerely: "First of all, I really think Kaihui is a good place. Although it is located in the northernmost township of Changsha County, many new teachers may not want to come to this place when they choose their posts. But in fact, after I came to this place, the humanistic environment and working atmosphere made me feel very comfortable. A younger team of teachers is conducive to the development of local education. I believe that the schools in Kaihui Town can get better and better! "
At the end of the interview, the members of the research team visited the red publicity and education exhibition board located in the lobby on the first floor, and realized the value connotation behind the text-"I lost my pride, the willow tree in Yang Jun was lost, and Liu Yang ignored it." From Yang Changji's desire to plant a big wooden pillar to heaven, to Yang Kaihui's aid to build a night school for women workers, and now the teachers of Kaihui School are playing with the fashion of the new era, the red spirit and education go forward together like two intertwined lines.
