First, the discipline regulations issued by the Ministry of Education: Teachers can criticize students. 12 On February 29th, the Ministry of Education promulgated the Rules on Disciplinary Actions in Primary and Secondary Education (for Trial Implementation), stipulating that:
When it is really necessary, schools and teachers can punish students by education when they are disobedient, disturbing order, misbehaving, in danger or infringing on their rights and interests.
In the disciplinary regulations issued by the Ministry of Education, it is clearly stated that teachers can criticize students who slightly violate the rules and regulations, order them to apologize, conduct oral or written reviews, and stand in the classroom during a class.
Second, not directly naming and criticizing will also lead to doubts. The discussion on teachers' disciplinary power has a long history, but it has been unresolved. This time, the Ministry of Education issued a trial document on disciplinary rules, which made detailed provisions on teachers' disciplinary rights. In a sense, it is beneficial for teachers to perform their educational duties and protect the legitimate rights and interests of students.
But with the discipline, do teachers dare to punish according to the regulations?
Let's take a look at the recent events triggered by "no naming criticism":
A private school in Dongguan, Guangdong Province 14-year-old boy fell from the fifth floor of the teaching building. He is a junior three student. According to his father, the child was having a Chinese class before falling, and the Chinese teacher Tang was suspected of criticizing the students without naming them.
Subsequently, the child's father Wang voiced on personal social media, saying that the child's grades were poor and the Chinese teacher had targeted criticism, abuse and cold violence.
But the reporter learned from the school that the school was not at fault. The police think this is an "incident" rather than a "case".
Many netizens were surprised when they saw this. What is "suspected of not naming criticism"? This is a brand-new concept.
Third, if you don't name names and can't control the "degree" of criticism, you will also get into trouble. If the teacher really insults and satirizes the students' behavior without naming names in the criticism, and all the students know what they mean, it is actually beyond the disciplinary scope of "criticism", and the school and teachers must be responsible for the bad results.
But if it's just a general criticism, and it's "criticism without naming names", and it doesn't involve abusive behavior, and it's just that the students sit in the right place and can't get over it, what's wrong with the school and the teachers?
From the perspective of educational practice, teachers' normal criticism of students will not lead to students' suicide, and it is difficult to say that there is a legal causal relationship between students' accidents and teachers' criticism.
In the conclusion, criticism is not an insult, no matter whether it is named or not, and it should not be an insult. Criticism only points out the mistake of something, urges it to correct, and hopes that the result will develop in a better direction. Insult involves personal dignity and is different in nature. However, criticism should not go beyond "degree", otherwise it will lead to unexpected results.
In the face of children's education problems, whether teachers or parents, the more afraid they are, the more likely they are to have problems. It is not a bad thing to give children more frustration education. If parents do less "protecting calves", children will definitely become stronger.
Teachers' disciplinary rules have been issued, but I still hope that teachers can take responsibility according to the actual situation, but they must be flexible and not overly mechanical. It is not the right attitude to dare to teach and be afraid of taking responsibility.
Parents should also actively undertake the responsibility of family education. Education is not only a matter for schools and teachers, but also a matter of knowledge and achievement. We should pay more attention to children's inner world and listen to their inner voices.
