Teachers' corporal punishment or disguised corporal punishment of students is not formed overnight, and there are many reasons for this phenomenon. The first is China's traditional educational concept. For a long time, parents have mostly used violence to educate disobedient children, thinking that "if you don't fight, you won't succeed", "if you are strict with teachers, you will become a master" and "if you fight, you will love, and if you don't fight, you will easily get worse". Under the influence of this traditional concept, it is natural for teachers to punish students.
Secondly, it is teachers' own moral cultivation and psychological quality. Some teachers feel that their income is low and they have no position in society. They have learned so much knowledge for nothing, which leads to the feeling that everything is unsatisfactory. Once something goes wrong, it will be vented on students.
Finally, the negative effects of exam-oriented education. Some school leaders believe that as long as they can improve students' academic performance, no matter what methods are used, they even secretly support and encourage corporal punishment or corporal punishment in disguise.
In the process of educating students, teachers should treat every student who makes mistakes well according to their psychological characteristics and the law of physical and mental development, in line with the principle of respecting and caring for students, and pay equal attention to sensibility and rationality. Help students raise the sails of hope again.
Respecting teachers and valuing morality is a traditional concept in our country. If the teacher punishes the students and doesn't recite good customs, it is not considered a crime. At present, China's current laws do not stipulate the right to punish students, and whether schools or teachers have this right has caused discussion.
Some people think that teachers' disciplinary power is directly entrusted by parents' disciplinary power, and school teachers have the right to educate and punish students on behalf of parents. However, according to the general theory in our country, parents' disciplinary power is different from teachers' disciplinary power, and teachers don't get disciplinary power because of the transfer of parental power.
Some scholars reevaluate the theory of educational opportunity guarantee from the legal system of punishing students in the United States, and think that it comes from the guarantee of learning right. It is necessary to punish teachers for educational purposes.
Each of the above statements has its own basis. In fact, due to the achievement of educational goals, teachers have educational behaviors such as teaching freedom, educational evaluation right and life guidance right when implementing school educational activities. At the same time, they have the responsibility to protect students' life guidance and the obligation to maintain school order.
