Every child deserves to be loved and respected at school, not hurt and insulted. However, a shocking incident occurred in an elementary school in Huai'an, Jiangsu Province. An English teacher took an extreme punitive action when she found several girls eating in class: she slapped herself and ordered the boys to make up the slap. This kind of behavior is not only physically harmful to the children, but also an insult to their personality. As a guide and role model for students, how should teachers correctly deal with students' mistakes and how to effectively discipline them?Let's take a look at the details and reflections of this incident.
The incident occurred in a primary school in Huaiyin District, Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province. The English teacher found several girls eating in class, but was unable to determine who they were. So she ordered all the students not to eat in class. However, such a reminder did not stop the girls from continuing to eat. The English teacher questioned the students twice, but none of them came forward to admit their mistakes. In a fit of rage, she made the bizarre decision to have each girl slap herself 10 times and order the boys to slap the girls a few times.
The girls were dissatisfied and angry at this punishment. They think they didn't make a mistake, so why should they suffer this humiliation?This is discrimination and injustice against girls. Even though the girls did what was requested, they didn't really accept the punishment. At the same time, who would want to make such a ridiculous request to let themselves beat themselves?After all, such actions do not make any sense and only hurt themselves. Although the English teacher was furious, she herself knew that it was not appropriate to act in this situation. So, she asked a few boys to slap the girls in her place.
This incident has not been ignored in the past, after a girl was found by her parents to have some redness and swelling on her face, the whole incident was **. Angry and disappointed, the parents demanded an explanation from the English teacher and demanded that the Education and Sports Bureau take serious measures. The English teacher said that the reason why she was so angry was because the girls had been eating in class and had been reminded many times and did not admit it. However, parents do not accept such an explanation. They think that the child is not eating in class, why should they be slapped?The child's face was beaten red, is this considered "not a heavy beating"?Parents not only reported it online, but also complained to the Education Bureau, demanding that the English teacher be dealt with seriously.
As a guide and role model for students, teachers should be able to correctly handle students' mistakes and guide them to grow. Discipline is an indispensable part of education, but the purpose, method and scale must be clear, and students must not be overly punished or harmed. The English teacher's handling of this incident was clearly wrong.
First of all, the teacher should guide the students in the right way, rather than using violent means to solve the problem. It is important to emphasize that a child's misbehavior should not cause them to be slapped in the face, let alone allow other students to hit them. Blows and injuries do not educate good character and morality.
Second, the punishment must be clear about the specific mistake and the corresponding punishment. If a student eats in class, it should be guided in an appropriate educational way and the student should be made aware of his or her mistakes. Instead of collective punishment for all girls, including those who did not make mistakes.
Finally, teachers should remain calm and rational when dealing with student mistakes. If teachers are already feeling overwhelmed, they should choose to suspend classes or find other ways to relieve their emotions. Negative emotions and unreasonable behavior should not be allowed to cause harm and humiliation to students.
The incident aroused widespread indignation and condemnation, and the Education Bureau also took corresponding measures. As educators, we must seriously reflect and learn from them. Teachers should lead by example, give students the care and respect they deserve, and guide them in the right way. Only in this way can we build a harmonious, respectful and safe educational environment, so that every child can grow up healthy and happy.
