How do Hong Kong college students cope with threatening teachers to boycott Putonghua?
The Students' Union of Hong Kong Baptist University recently incited students to "occupy" the school office and demanded that the graduation requirement of Putonghua be completely abolished. Hong Kong's Ping Guo Daily quoted the editorial board of HKBU Student Union as saying that Zhou Wei, the vice president (teaching and learning), immediately arrived at the scene that night to discuss with the students, and promised to arrange for them to retake the exam "free of charge" and discuss the necessity of graduation requirements of Putonghua in relevant committees. Roland Chin, president of HKBU, also responded to media inquiries on the 20th, saying that as a principal and teacher, whenever he met a student,

According to the report, Zhou Weili, Vice President (Teaching and Learning), Huang Yueshun, Vice President (Teaching and Learning) and Provost Huang Yueshun 17 arrived at the Language Center at about 6 o'clock to meet the students of Occupy Central. Liu Zikai, director-general of the Student Union who attended the meeting, criticized that the criteria for passing the exemption test were vague. For example, some students fail in the oral test because of "tone problems" and think that this is not a pure oral ability assessment. Students also questioned that it was inappropriate for teachers in the language center to serve as exam-free examiners. Because of "conflict of interest", they asked the school to hire a third party as an exam-free examiner.

Zhou Weili responded that questioning teachers' professional ethics is a very serious accusation, stressing that the two teachers reached a unanimous conclusion in the examination and thought that the examination method had met the requirements of the basic examination. However, students still question the lack of standards for teachers' grading and demand that the grading standards and related documents be made public. The director of the language center agreed to provide it later.

Zhou Weili promised that in the future, with the consent of students, samples of qualified students will be made public for students' reference. However, the relevant public samples and re-examination arrangements will increase the workload of the language center, which means that the school must discuss the detailed arrangements and make resolutions in different committees.

According to the report, during the meeting, the school promised to hold a meeting of the Teaching Quality Committee under the Senate in the future to discuss the necessity of the graduation requirement of Putonghua and the ways to revoke it, and also promised that the relevant discussions would not be subject to HKBU's "two languages and three languages" policy. Zhou Weili promised to hold a meeting with his classmates early next week to discuss and review the Putonghua Exemption Test and its grading standards. At that time, "all students are welcome to attend".

According to Hong Kong Oriental Daily (65438+1October 2 1), Roland Chin, president of Hong Kong Baptist University, said in response to media enquiries on the 20th that as a principal and a teacher, every time he saw the irresponsible behavior of students, he would feel heartbroken and sad. He said that the society's care and love for students also has high expectations for college students. The school will seriously follow up any rude behavior of students in accordance with the established procedures, and will also strengthen the work of teaching and learning to cultivate students to become moral and willing citizens.

According to the report, after Roland Chin made a statement, Liu Ziqian, president of HKBU Student Union, immediately apologized through the media. He claimed that it was just a "slip of the tongue" and didn't deliberately scold the teacher.

The headmaster's sadness makes people feel distressed, but if students stop threatening teachers and make a few "slips of the tongue", they can achieve their goals to a certain extent, and the living environment of teachers in Hong Kong will be worrying in the future!

Wouldn't it be nice to fire such a person?
