When the female teacher mentioned her resignation as the head teacher, the principal said something that made her cry
The teacher offered to resign as a teacher, and the principal said a few words, and she cried: It's not easy.
In schools, class teachers are often considered to be the busiest group of teachers. In order to successfully complete the class work, teachers have to deal with the principal, subject teachers, students and parents every day, and often have to leave early and return late, which makes the work more difficult. In particular, due to their weak health, many female teachers have to take care of housework in addition to work, and are busy between school and family every day, which makes it difficult for them to take on the work of class teachers.
In Beijing, a teacher who offered to resign as a class teacher couldn't help but secretly shed tears after hearing the principal's words. The 35-year-old *** is a high school Chinese teacher at a school in Xicheng District, Beijing, teaching the first class of the eighth grade in the spring semester of 2023.
The school requires students to begin their morning reading class at 7:40 a.m. every day. However, some students arrive earlier, around 700 or so. Therefore, the class teacher should be at school by 7:15 in order to take care of the classroom management and avoid any safety issues or other emergencies.
Since the start of the after-school service, the teacher arrives at school at 7 a.m. every day and leaves at 7 p.m., working more than 12 hours a day, which makes *** feel very tired, she often feels like she has to continue working as soon as she falls asleep, and sometimes feels exhausted throughout the day.
One morning, Ms. Li dropped her son off at the entrance of the kindergarten only to find that it was only 6:50. In the dark yard, only her son was running alone, which made Ms. Li very sad. So, she played with her son for a while, and only when the other children arrived one after another, did she hurry to school.
At 7:15, she had just walked into the campus when she ran into the principal. The principal told her to be late and stressed that she would have to arrive early in the future. Although the guilt for my son has not dissipated, because of the principal's criticism, ** feels a little uneasy.
She defended herself"Headmaster, there aren't many students in the classroom, so we don't need to come so soon. The headmaster, visibly annoyed, said firmly:"As long as there are students coming, you have to be there because you are the class teacher. "
**After hearing this, I felt a little uncomfortable and said:"Principal, I sent my son to kindergarten in the morning, and he was on his own, which was really inconvenient. Can I come later?There will be no delays in class. The headmaster replied:"Other teachers can overcome family difficulties, can't you let your husband come and pick up your son?
Ms. Li was a little angry that her husband was working in the field and had delayed work in order to pick up the children from school and cook dinner. If he is also asked to pick up and drop off the children in the morning, then he will have to take the morning and evening holidays, which is obviously not feasible. **Say without hesitation:"Principal, then I'll just resign as a class teacher!"
The director smiled indifferently:"Xiao Li, I know that you and your husband live in a rented house. In Xicheng District, Beijing, renting a two-bedroom apartment, no matter how small the area is, will cost **1,000 yuan per month, and your monthly salary is only more than 8,000 yuan. If you're not a class teacher, how do you think you can afford to pay the rent?You have to think about it, if you don't think about it, there will always be someone willing to take over. "
Professor Li stared blankly at the director's distant back. The principal is right, the reality is very cruel. Watching his son run around the dimly lit kindergarten, he couldn't help but burst into tears. This is an example I have seen on the online platform, which truly reflects the difficult situation of today's class teachers, and it is deeply moving.
The job of a teacher is indeed very difficult. The working hours are long and the tasks are many and complex, not only to manage the class, but also to take care of the family, and to ensure the quality of teaching. The class teacher must have considerable coordination, physical strength and ability to work under pressure. Mrs. Lee's monthly salary as a class teacher is $3,000. In contrast, in other places, some class teachers earn only $2 to $300 a month, which shows that this is a job with a very asymmetrical effort and reward. Therefore, society should have a sympathetic attitude towards the class teacher.
However, there is a clear lack of humanity on the part of the school management. **The school is located in Xicheng District, Beijing, and the above incident fully shows that the school management is too principled and has no humanity at all. The principal's words and deeds only consider the interests of the school, and do not take into account the feelings of the teachers at all, let alone how to help young teachers solve practical problems. This kind of rigid management will lead to teachers' lack of sense of belonging, superiority and respect, weaken teachers' enthusiasm for work, and seriously dampen teachers' enthusiasm for work.
Professor Lee's dilemma is not an unanswered question. She seems to be in a dilemma when she can't pay the rent without being a teacher, and it is difficult to take care of her children as a teacher. However, this is not a dilemma for a wise principal. Schools can have a young, loose teacher to help with the class, or have teachers rotate between subjects, and the problem can be solved, giving you the best of both worlds.
In short, the principal is at the forefront of school education and teaching, and has a great responsibility. Let parents and students understand the work of the principal more and be less demanding;Let the principal have more encouragement and help, and become a strong backing and strong backing for the principal.
