My primary school teachers are all private teachers, with low academic qualifications, but versatile, able to wear several hats, beautiful in Chinese and mathematics, and able to do well in any course. Mr. Yumin writes well, Mr. Fengqi paints vividly, and Mr. Listening Art teaches us to sing and beat time. I will also sing "Learn from Lei Feng's Good Example" and "Three Disciplines and Eight Notices" which he taught us. After school, the teacher took us to play games, somersault, erect dragonflies, weave a cage of slugs with straw and make kites. Under the guidance of the teacher, the kite we made can fly very high in the air.
One winter, the headmaster took all the teachers and students in our school to go cross-country It had just snowed heavily and it was very cold. We stepped on the thick snow and the captain carried the flag. Singing songs, we walked more than ten kilometers, bypassed several villages, set off from school and went back to school. Teachers and classmates are in high spirits. No one complains, no one is tired, and no one wants to stop and rest. In that cross-country run, the students not only honed their will, but also enhanced their sense of collective honor. Students on the way, you help me, I help you, and we are more United. Many years later, I mentioned it more than once on different occasions, which was the most unforgettable memory of my childhood.
Although the primary school teachers in my school have low academic qualifications and few honorary certificates with high gold content, and even some teachers will become public teachers soon after retirement, they have not complained because of their difficult situation and low wages, but have been rooted in rural primary schools for decades and have always devoted themselves to teaching with full enthusiasm, filling us with spirit in that era of material poverty in their unique way. Is this "dare to explore new ideas that have not been invented and dare to enter the uncivilized frontier"? I think they can be called first-class educators.
Today, our teaching environment has improved a lot. Even in rural schools, with the help of national policies, the school facilities are basically complete, but the conditions are getting better and better, but we have lost the most important thing as teachers-enthusiasm. Most of us teach students according to the standards set by the school. There are lesson plans before class, courseware in class, answers to correcting homework after class, old teaching methods and models, and we are lazy to innovate. Only students' homework and grades are in their eyes, but they don't pay enough attention to students' emotional cultivation, turn a blind eye to students' psychological needs, and often complain that students are not good at teaching, rebellious and selfish.
I just read an article by teacher Li Zhenxi the other day. He wrote that he often took his students out to play in the 1980s and mingled with them. He was severely criticized by the leaders at that time, saying that he was too courageous. But now, he is not in that school, but the former leader asked him to go back to give a report and talk about quality education. Teacher Li Zhenxi "wrote letters to students, established a home-school contact book, and taught gifted students and students with difficulties in accordance with their aptitude ...", which enabled students to grow into happy and complete people. His quality education not only enables students to grow into people with high emotional literacy in the classroom full of love and temperature, but also does not affect their academic performance. He dared to explore the truth of education and promoted quality education for twenty years. There is no conflict between quality education and grades, but our teacher doesn't do education with heart.
Although Dong Yan, an Anhui teacher, is a rural teacher, she takes her students to recite in the morning, read in the afternoon and spend the evening in the province, creating a poetic life for rural children. Excellent, she refused invitations from big cities and universities again and again, firmly rooted in rural land, and enjoyed their "pastoral poetic education" with her children. Li, a teacher in Qingdao, founded a teaching island to lead teachers to grow together. Teacher Ling from Sichuan has set up more than a dozen "Teaching Island Chinese Character Literacy Classes" to lead teachers from more than 20 provinces and cities across the country to make progress together.
The practice of these teachers, as Mr. Tao Xingzhi said: "If we want to stand on our own feet, we must enlarge our courage and shoot the spirit of experiments into new theories that have not yet been invented;" I am not afraid of hard work, fatigue, obstacles and failure, and I am bent on discovering the mysterious new principles of education. What kind of courage is this? People with such courage in education deserve our worship. "Teachers, teachers, teachers, teachers and teachers are all first-class educators.
Therefore, when we complain that students' ideological morality is not good enough and parents' quality is not high enough, we should first reflect on what we have done as a teacher. Can our ideas, our knowledge level and our moral cultivation guide students to move in the right direction of life? What should we do when we realize that our knowledge reserve and moral sentiment are not enough?
Even though we can never be first-class educators because of our own abilities, environment and other factors, at least we should improve ourselves through continuous learning, constantly explore in education and teaching, find methods suitable for our students, and cultivate students into happy and complete people.
