Is it true that I visited my teacher's home 38 years ago and talked about the differences between education in the past and the present?
In my memory, there are always some people and things that are indelible. Of all the teachers we have met, there will always be one or several of them, whose smiles, words and demeanor seem to echo in our minds all the time. As the years passed, the reverence for them became deeper and deeper, and the thoughts became longer.
After decades of study, I have become acquainted with dozens of teachers, and for me, Mr. Chen is the best mentor.
38 years ago, those days with Mr. Chen were unforgettable. Ms. Chen is the principal of the small town school and also a mathematics teacher. At that time, the small-town school was still a five-year school, and Ms. Chen, who was about 40 years old at the time, was in charge of teaching the fifth-grade mathematics course.
Before I was in the fifth grade, I already had a taste of Mr. Chen. He always has a smile on his face, his voice is like **, and he always bends slightly when talking to students, or squats down, although he is also the principal, but there is no high shelf in the slightest.
When I entered Grade 5, I found Mr. Chen to be a very dignified teacher. As soon as the class bell rang, his expression became serious. If a student makes a mistake, he will criticize it bluntly. All the students were in awe of him, and they were quiet and attentive in class.
He likes to use vivid examples as a supplement in his lectures, which is interesting, and at the same time he will talk about some life philosophies, which is full of passion. We have benefited a lot from each class, and we are deeply admired and loved for his classes. In my class, many of my classmates did very well in math, and I was able to get perfect marks from time to time.
When I was in the sixth grade, I transferred to the tutoring district school, and Ms. Liu was also transferred to become the principal, responsible for teaching mathematics in the sixth grade. Since we are from the same village, we have a very close relationship. Teacher Liu was very kind to me and cared more about my Xi. Every day after school, I would go to his office for a while, and he would bring out some delicious things to share with me, treating me like his own child.
On weekends, Ms. Liu often visits our home. In the countryside, every family lives in poverty, but he is not particular about it, as long as there is something to eat, he will share. I remember one time, he got two fish out of nowhere, saying that it was to improve our brother's food. I especially liked that when he came to visit my home, he and my father had a great conversation, and I listened quietly, which was very interesting. He never conveyed any negative information to my parents, always praised me for my excellent Xi, and believed that I would definitely become a college student in the future.
This is Mr. Liu, the best mentor in my mind. In the few years I spent with him, I really felt happy, and this wonderful memory will be an unforgettable part of my life.
Recently, I went back to my hometown to visit Ms. Liu and talked about the topic of "the difference between education in the past and the present". When I was in my hometown, I was often able to meet Mr. Liu, but later I was transferred to the south, and in the past 20 years, I rarely had the opportunity to go home, and I never saw my teacher again, and I felt guilty in retrospect.
This year, I finally returned to my hometown and visited Mr. Liu on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Now Mr. Liu is over 80 years old, although his ears are a little deaf, but his physical condition is not bad, and his face is still as red as I remember.
Ms. Liu's son is also a middle school teacher, and there are several relatives and friends in the family who are also teachers. Mr. Liu happily received me and introduced me to the other guests, and then everyone tasted snacks, tea, and chatted together. Looking back on his 40 years of teaching experience, Mr. Liu is full of emotion, especially when he mentions the "difference between education in the past and the present".
When talking about the changes in teaching conditions, Ms. Liu highlighted the poor situation of the school in the past, especially in the village primary school, where the desks were originally made of mud bricks and wooden boards, and then replaced with long tables made of carpentry. The blackboard is made of several wooden planks, painted with black paint and hung on the wall. Most of the schools are bungalows, and the walls are whitewashed with lime. Now, the school building is spacious and bright, the campus is full of greenery and facilities, not only has many first-class equipment and computers, but also the students wear uniform uniforms. The improvement in conditions should have inspired students to learn better Xi, but Ms. Liu questioned whether today's students are as diligent as they were in the past.
In terms of teachers' salary, Ms. Liu recalled that the salary level 38 years ago, when it was only 35 yuan per month, and later it rose to 40 yuan when he became the principal. Although the salaries were not high at that time, no one complained because it was an honor to be a teacher. With the passage of time, the salary has gradually become more than 100 yuan, from tens of yuan to more than 100 yuan, and then to hundreds of yuan, and each increase in salary has brought a sense of honor and satisfaction to teachers, and they are grateful to the country and the country.
Today, Mr. Liu's monthly pension has reached more than 5,000 yuan, compared with more than 100 times that of the original. Teachers' salaries are now in the quadruple figures, and in some places it is rumored to be in the hundreds of thousands a year. The state's attention to teachers' treatment has also been increasing, however, Mr. Liu, observing that teachers' sense of superiority gradually decreases as salaries increase, he raised questions about this phenomenon and pondered what the root cause of the problem is.
Teachers make up lessons differently. Back 38 years ago, there was no such thing as "paid tutoring". At that time, if the student's grades are not satisfactory, as long as the parents are concerned, the student is willing to work hard, and communicate with the teacher, the teacher will use his spare time to make up the Xi after school, completely out of concern for the student, neither charging nor charging.
Nowadays, the state stipulates that in-service teachers are not allowed to engage in "paid tutoring", but there are still some risky teachers who cross the "red line". Although there are still responsible teachers today, they are willing to sacrifice their break time to do compulsory Xi in order to improve student achievement. However, due to the possibility of "complaints" and even misunderstandings and troubles, these teachers often have to stop halfway.
The burden on teachers is different. In the past, due to poor teaching conditions, village primary schools often had a shortage of teachers. Some teachers are responsible for multiple grades, some are responsible for private classes, and some are responsible for teaching duplex classes, and the teaching tasks are relatively heavy. However, the teachers at that time were distracted, focusing their time and energy on teaching, and they were obliged to teach more than 20 classes in multiple grades every week, but few voices complained about fatigue because of this.
Modern education is showing a trend of specialization, and cross-level teaching and double-entry classes have been relatively rare, and have gradually become a thing of the past. Although teachers have a relatively small number of lessons per week, there are relatively many tasks outside of teaching. In the face of various inspections by superiors, tedious evaluations, various activities inside and outside the school, and all kinds of attention and praise involving parents, teachers have to be busy sorting out materials, participating in various meetings, and also participating in various trainings in continuing education. Under this burden, it seems to be a luxury to dedicate oneself to teaching and nurturing students.
Teachers have changed dramatically in terms of their social status. In the past, in the villages, teachers were not necessarily the wealthiest, but definitely the most respected. Parents may not often give "red envelopes" or "gifts" to teachers, and occasionally invite teachers to eat a simple meal, but their respect for teachers is sincere. Teachers are addressed as "sir", and in villages, families often ask "sir" for advice when they encounter a problem. Because of the absolute trust that parents have in their teachers, students rarely dare to oppose their teachers.
Nowadays, the popularity of mobile phones and various network communication software has made communication between teachers and parents more convenient. However, the emergence of complicated tasks in the parent group makes parents feel tired to cope, and some parents even choose to "quit the group", showing that today's parents seem to have less trust and respect for teachers than in the past. Teachers are often "complained" by parents, and some parents keep a certain distance from teachers.
The students are better at technology and have more mastery of various network technologies than their teachers. Some students are addicted to games, pursue fashion, lose interest in Xi school, and aggravate rebellious thoughts in adolescence, which has a negative impact on education, may lead to conflicts between teachers and students, and even lead to unpredictable accidents. Many teachers have said that students are now difficult to manage, and the responsibilities of teachers have become more and more daunting.
In these turbulent times, history is moving forward. The development of society and the progress of the times have also brought about earth-shaking changes in the field of education. These disparities should be seen as normal in the development of education. The new changes have put forward higher requirements for the majority of teachers, and only by constantly improving their own level and adapting to new situations can they keep pace with the times and become a competent new type of educator.
