The following are my views on how teachers should behave:
First, this is also the most important one. It is necessary to make clear the disadvantages and harms of teaching. Don't repeat the mistakes of the previous generation, start from its disadvantages to improve and solve the problem (it may be difficult to solve, but it needs to be done as much as possible). This is not only to be worthy of "teaching and educating people", but also to support and respect freedom and human rights as a person's fundamental obligation.
(Note: "Teaching and educating people" means that teachers care about and care for their students. While imparting professional knowledge, they use their own moral behavior and charm to guide students to find the meaning of life, realize their due pursuit of value and shape their perfect personality. Excerpted from Baidu Encyclopedia)
Second, define yourself within your power and adhere to the concept of freedom and human rights first to manage students. For example, as a class teacher, grade/department head or other teachers with certain management power, execution power and decision-making power, we should make good use of these to manage students and create breakthroughs in quality and ability. Instead of just overwhelming students' thirst for knowledge and enthusiasm for exploring truth with the slogan of quality education.
Mainly on the above two points. Here, it is necessary to explain in detail some methods and ways of "improving and solving problems from its disadvantages" and "sorting yourself out within your power"
First of all, don't fall into the framework of "score first", treat them equally, and emphasize that scores only consume the self-destruction of youth to satisfy the vanity of self and parents (or in other words, the purpose is to explain the importance of scores and the importance of humanity, freedom and human rights). It is necessary to actively help and encourage students with poor grades, so that students can realize the concern of teachers and treat them equally, so that they can get rid of the vicious values of "score first".
Furthermore, manage students according to their abilities. I can talk about the method of a Chinese teacher I know, which is similar to your situation. As the head teacher of the "top class", he tries not to pay attention to his grades, but only requires normal performance and discipline in completing his homework. In daily teaching, we don't pay attention to classical Chinese and other teaching courses, but often talk about extracurricular contents such as history, politics and humanistic values, so that students can think and explore themselves instead of passively accepting and absorbing knowledge. He often arranges essays on social phenomena on weekdays, which is also an effective way to link students' thoughts with social phenomena, rather than just reciting ancient poems and training worthless stereotyped reading comprehension. In daily life, he pays attention to the dignity and freedom of students, and does not suppress students with grades or dogma. This is also a good behavior pattern.
Of course, it is not easy to really break away from the "score first" of the social trend, but as a dignified, respected and trusted teacher, we must follow the mantra of "teaching and educating people" and never deviate from the right path and fall into mediocrity.
May you become a respectable teacher.
I am incompetent, I hope you can accept it.
