There are many female colleagues in the office. In the small talk, I talked about the education of children. Several female colleagues said that during the Double Eleven period, they specially bought a product: a ruler.

I searched the internet and looked at the photos in my colleague's mobile phone. It looks like this.

I asked my colleague: If the child is disobedient now, will you still fight?

Colleague replied: Of course. I can't do it without fighting. Why else would I buy a ruler?

I asked again: The child was beaten by the teacher at school. What would you think in your heart?

The female colleague said: Of course not. Your own children can fight by themselves. How could they be beaten by others? There is only one child.

I specially checked the data online: one month after the start of school in September, 500,000 parents searched on Taobao: ruler. There are 1.6 million people placing orders. There are 340 thousand people. After thinking about it, they still calmed down.

It seems that for the sake of children's growth, do you want to fight? Many parents are still very concerned about this problem. How to educate children has become a big problem in life.

It was not a problem for parents to beat their children, but it actually became a problem. This not only makes me think.

Ruler, a plank used by teachers in private schools to punish students in the old days. Also known as the "ruler"

According to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang hired a tutor Xu Shanshu for his son to teach his son Judy. As a result, Judy was quite naughty from an early age. He only likes to dance with knives and guns, and he doesn't like reading.

Xu Shanshu changed the old teacher's coercive method. Every time I teach, I kneel in front of Judy, put the book on my head and let Judy read while teaching.

Seeing this great anger, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Xu Shanshu a ruler and said, "If this ruler comes in person, Ai Qing will hit his palm with it if the prince does not obey."

With this ruler, Judy is afraid. From then on, follow Xu Shanshu to study hard and never be naughty again.

It can be seen that this ruler was originally used as a square sword.

Since then, the teachers in the old private school have been holding rulers. Students are disobedient and don't study hard. Let's wait until we fight. Students can't resist. This is called the authority of a gentleman.

There is an article written like this:

Zou Taofen, a teenager, recited "On Mencius Wang Hui" in front of his father, and there was a bamboo board two fingers wide on the table. When he can't remember, he will be beaten. I have memorized half a book, and my right palm is swollen by half an inch. His mother, who was with him, even cried and said "well played".

It can be seen that in the past, rulers were the exclusive and authoritative of teachers. As important as official hats. Teachers have authority, students have fears and parents have expectations. Undoubtedly, the ruler is an important pillar under the Confucian traditional education.

1987, I am in junior high school. The class teacher's surname is ao. Born in an old private school. Born landlord. This birth during the Cultural Revolution was a disaster. After the Cultural Revolution, he regained his identity. Teaching Chinese in a local junior high school. It's my head teacher in junior high school.

At that time, a Shaolin Temple was popular all over the country. The junior high school boys in Dashangougou have become martial arts fans. Of course, I was not spared.

Learning will naturally not rank second. Ranked first, I just want to be a martial arts master. Obsessed with reading all kinds of martial arts novels. What you still remember: Liang Yusheng's Seven Swords in the World, Jin Yong's Trilogy of Shooting and Carving, Eight Dragons, Duke Gu Long's Chu Liuxiang, Lu Xiaofeng, etc.

People's attention is limited. Obsessed with novels, homework naturally falls behind. The learning ranking naturally dropped from the first three to fifteen.

Study at night. Others are reviewing their lessons. When I was reading a novel, I put my schoolbag on the cover in order to avoid being found by the teacher. The cover of the book is politics, but the packaging is "relying on heaven to slay dragons".

I was caught by Mr. O. Called to the podium to face the whole class. Then he picked up a bamboo stick on the platform. Bamboo sticks are usually used as pointers. Give me your hand, snapped. I held out my hand.

The teacher knocked three times with a bamboo stick. It hurts. It hurts. In an instant, tears came down.

The teacher said to the whole class: when your parents handed you over to me, they all said in front of you: if the wretched don't listen, they will fight. As long as it's not bad. I'm sure you all remember.

Decades have passed, and the teacher has driven the crane west, but these three sticks will never be erased.

Four: What if the teacher doesn't clap his hands now?

When I graduate from normal school, I will be a teacher myself. Corporal punishment of students has been banned. The traditional three pieces of slapping hands, lifting ears and pulling eyelids are no longer working.

So there are three new works.

Face the wall-don't think about anything seriously

Punish copy operation

Do push-ups

With the emergence of more and more only children. Punishment of students' bodies has become a forbidden area. The authority of teachers has been challenged.

So the punishment for students becomes the punishment for parents:

Parent group

parent-teacher conference

Cram school

Five: ruler, is it meaningless?

Life is measured, life is measured.

Rulers are always necessary.

On the surface, the disappearance of ruler is the average authority between parents and teachers. The fundamental reason lies in the reform of the education system.

How to train the next generation is always a question with no standard answer in this pluralistic society.

I hope everything is the same: to be useful.
