The teacher satirized the students' ugly shoes, which attracted criticism from netizens
Controversy caused by teachers' inappropriate words and actions.
Looking at the bright makeup and high-quality shoes on the students' uniforms, we couldn't help but think about the differences in the students' family backgrounds. Children from wealthy families will have better fit, cleaner and neater school uniforms, and will wear more tasteful shoes. However, we can't make fun of students because of what they're wearing. As teachers, we must always treat all students fairly and equally. Unfortunately, not all teachers are able to do this. Recently, a teacher posted a photo of a student wearing beautiful, shiny leather shoes on the Internet, and ridiculed the mentality of the student's parents who chose such shoes. As a result, the teacher was slammed by netizens and accused of not knowing how to appreciate the value of objects.
Teachers play a balancing role and should promptly correct students' misconceptions and eliminate discrimination among students. However, the teacher did the opposite. He took a picture of a boy wearing a pair of golden leather shoes during recess, with the following text:"I really want to know, what kind of parents would choose such a pair of shoes for their children?For what reasons and considerations would parents make such a decision?This remark made the parents very unhappy. Teachers do not have the right to judge what students are wearing. As a teacher, don't you even have this basic quality?What's more, the object of your criticism is the parents of the students, and this distorted view is incorrect. This partial view is too one-sided, and the issue should be viewed from multiple angles at the same time. Parents are not to blame for this problem.
It turned out that the shoes the boy wore were called golden Chelsea boots. It is a footwear that is very popular among schoolchildren and is even called schoolchildren"Baby"。So in the student body, these shoes are very cool existence. Just like some girls like that kind of sparkly princess shoes. These shoes are not bought by parents when they want to, but out of respect for their children. Parents don't want to leave their children with childhood regrets. These are good parents who don't need to be ridiculed by teachers. Teachers must first have the right values.
Get student preferences and safety issues right.
Actually, this problem is easy to solve. The teacher can call the student into the office individually after class and talk about what the student likes, such as:"These shoes are so cool!"。Then you can find out if the student really likes the shoe, ask the parents about their attitude towards the shoe, etc. Then it can be clearly pointed out that it may not be very convenient to wear such shoes to the playground and there is a high risk of injury. It is even more inappropriate to wear such shoes during playtime and physical education classes. If you accidentally sprain your ankle or break your shoes, it's not good. If you like, you can dress for fun during the day, but at school, it's better to wear sneakers. This not only protects the student's self-esteem, but also solves the problem. Instead of posting the student's private affairs on the Internet, so that netizens can see it and blame the parents for the parents' decisions and the children's behavior. We often say that as teachers, we have a responsibility to correct the values of our students. To do this, you must first make sure that the teacher's own values are correct. If there is a problem with the teachers themselves, then everything that follows is hypocrisy.
Parents must also respect their students' choices and allow them to have everything they want, within the range of options available. But at the same time, there are security issues to consider. Regardless of whether the shoes look good or not, it is not safe to wear them for exercise. Parents can bring a pair of sneakers for their children, or simply skip Chelsea shoes to school. If students want to show off, parents can consider letting them wear them during breaks, or prepare a small party and invite some good friends to verify the coolness of the sneakers. There are many ways to meet the psychological needs of students. While satisfying emotions, it is also important to pay attention to safety. Even some popular military boots should be worn selectively.
Conclusion. This issue has caused a lot of controversy. As an audience, I would like to say a few words. Good teachers are hard to find, and not all teachers can deal with the problems that happen around them. In this society, not everyone can not swear when they are in a bad mood. It's best not to comment casually without knowing whether the topic is right or wrong. When you don't know if what you're saying is right, it's best to keep silent. It's hard to guarantee that a teacher who looks at things with tinted glasses will be able to make sure that students have a lot of the right values in mind. Teachers have a lot of influence, so self-cultivation needs to be constantly improved.
Finally, I would like to ask you what you think about this incident
