How to deal with the parents' request to change teachers?
Urged to see the headmaster. I invited my parents to the conference room. After asking, I learned that the parents of these classmates heard that there would be a new teacher in the new school year, and a young head teacher would take over. They were afraid that their inexperience would affect their children's future education, so they named a teacher as the head teacher. Faced with these fierce parents, I feel that they have high expectations for teachers and a strong sense of intervention in school management. They think that their children should be taught by the best teachers. Young teachers are inexperienced, and children will suffer. And I heard that this teacher didn't even get a college diploma, and his teaching level is definitely not high, which will mislead the children ... Do you change your plan according to your parents' wishes, or ignore your parents' requirements? If the parents' wishes are met, it will inevitably lead to a great adjustment of the division of labor among school teachers, arouse suspicion among teachers, and even cause great mental pressure on the teachers involved, which will adversely affect the future development of the school; If you refuse your parents' demands, you must have good reasons to convince them. Faced with this problem, I reflected on the allocation of teachers in this class: this teacher is young, but of good quality, has several years of teaching practice, has a good reputation among parents and students, is serious and responsible for the teaching of the graduating class that has just been sent away, and is fully qualified for the teaching of this grade. Because she usually spends a lot of energy on improving students' quality, she spends her spare time preparing lessons and making home visits, which delays several self-taught review classes. However, parents don't understand this, and it is obviously not comprehensive to infer the teacher's teaching level from the aspects of age and education. So after listening to parents' opinions, I patiently introduced the situation of teachers, especially the teaching achievements in recent years and the feedback from students and parents, and suggested that they could learn from these parents and make an objective evaluation of teachers. At the same time, I hope parents will not blindly exclude young teachers. Everyone has his own advantages. The growth of young teachers is the key work in the construction of school teachers. When arranging teachers' work, the school is thoughtful and can't be irresponsible to students. What we pursue in the process of education and teaching is the common development of teachers and students. Please trust the wisdom of the teacher and let time prove everything. If you have any comments, you can communicate with us again in a month. After listening to my reply, the visiting parents felt very reasonable and finally left with questions. After seeing my parents off, the leadership and I made a serious analysis of this matter. Teachers' quality has become an important factor for parents to choose and evaluate schools, so improving teachers' quality as a whole is one of the driving forces for a school to maintain sustainable development. At the same time, we should also reflect that schools should actively publicize the advantages of teachers so that parents can fully and objectively understand their children's teacher level. Of course, what schools need more is to establish an evaluation mechanism for teachers and actively guide teachers to constantly improve themselves to meet parents' expectations. So I called the young teacher. When she heard about it, she was very sad and felt wronged. She thinks the parents in this class are too difficult to get along with, and they will never get along with each other in the future. I helped her analyze her parents' mentality, let her understand their desire for success, and encouraged her to correctly understand this matter: "Everything has two sides. If you give up and quit inexplicably, how can you lead the class development in the future? " Besides, parents are hearsay and don't really know you. Why can't you take this opportunity to prove your strength and give parents and students a satisfactory answer? I have great confidence in you. What you have to do now is how to fully release all your potential and fully display your talents in a month! "Two weeks after the start of school, I held a symposium for some students in this class to listen to the students' reflections on this teacher. The students agree that the new teacher is very serious and friendly and is very popular with everyone. At this time, my hanging heart was half down, and I didn't see the wrong person. Another month, I was ready to wait for my parents to pay a return visit, but I didn't see their shadow. The parents of this class have never asked for a new teacher. It can be seen that the opposition of parents has disappeared, but it may still be waiting to see. Never mind, time is the best judge. From the teacher's relaxed smile, I believed my own judgment. At the end of this semester, the principal's office actually received a thank-you letter from the parents of the class, thanking the teacher for caring for the children, surprised by her weight in the children's hearts, and expressing deep gratitude and apology to the teacher. When I exchanged views with my teacher, she said, "Thank you, Principal, for giving me great trust at a critical moment. During this time, I really felt the loftiness and greatness of the profession of teachers. I didn't expect to be so creative. I have endless words with my students every day. I am glad for their progress. Although I am much more tired than before, I think trust and respect are worth cherishing more than anything else. "At present, teachers need help and care more than ever before. The growth of teachers should not only be the personal responsibility of teachers, but should be the focus of the principal's attention. Principals should go into teachers' hearts, understand teachers' needs and personalities, create a stage suitable for teachers' development, encourage teachers to pursue Excellence and promote teachers' continuous growth. The above cases show that when parents don't trust teachers, principals must treat them calmly and objectively analyze the basic qualities of teachers and whether the reasons given by parents are sufficient. On the premise that there is no evidence to show that teachers do not perform their duties seriously or that schools are not properly arranged, principals should give teachers full trust, support teachers, encourage teachers to win the trust of parents with excellent educational and teaching achievements, and establish their own good image. On the other hand, if parents report that the situation is true or the school arrangement is improper, they should treat it correctly with a realistic attitude, do a good job in teacher education, take effective measures to adjust in time, recover losses as soon as possible, and ensure that the quality of running schools and social reputation are further improved. ■ Song Hongbin, Principal of Changjiang Road Primary School in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province
