Teachers often play an important role in the growth of children, not only because of their professionalism in subject knowledge, but also because of their special status in the minds of children.
I believe that many parents have found that children seem to be more willing to listen to teachers than parents, but is there anyone who wants to investigate the reasons behind it?
01 Professionalism
Teachers who are professionally trained in the field of education and have more systematic educational knowledge and teaching methods may not be professional educators and their breadth and depth of knowledge may be relatively low.
Therefore, children are more receptive to the teacher's guidance in terms of subject knowledge, because the teacher can provide more authoritative and professional subject guidance.
Secondly, teachers often use a variety of teaching methods to make the subject content more interesting and engaging, while in the family, parents may face more pressure and the way the subject content is delivered may be more monolithic.
This makes it easier for children to empathize with the teacher's teaching style and are more willing to listen carefully in class.
02 The relationship is simpler
In the relatively independent space of the school, the relationship between the teacher and the child is usually more professional and clear, and the teacher's task is mainly to educate and guide students, and the relationship is relatively simple and more focused on the academic level.
In the family, the role of parents is multifaceted, ranging from care and education to the trivial aspects of daily life, which makes the relationship between parents and children more complex and may be affected by other factors.
03 Be more objective
In subject evaluation, teachers usually base their evaluation on subject knowledge and academic performance, which is more objective and fair.
Comparatively speaking, parents may be influenced by more subjective factors, such as being overly spoiled or too harsh on their children, and children are more receptive to objective evaluations from teachers, as this helps them understand themselves better.
04 Knowledge is more systematic
Teachers can provide children with a systematic subject knowledge system and guide them to establish a scientific way of thinking about subjects.
In the family, because parents may not have the same expertise, their knowledge may be more fragmented and one-sided, which makes children more willing to follow the teacher's guidance in subject knowledge.
On the whole, there are many reasons behind the child's preference to listen to the teacher's words, such as professionalism, diversified teaching methods, simple relationships, and objective evaluation.
For parents, they can learn from the strengths of teachers and formulate some clear rules and guidance for their children in the family to help them grow up holistically and healthily.
In a child's education, the family and the school play a role together to bring up a more well-rounded new generation.
