Recently, a brave teacher called for the cancellation of winter vacation duty on social platforms, which resonated with the majority of teachers. Sadly, however, this voice also attracted a relentless attack from the trolls. These keyboard warriors attack and abuse teachers, and their words are full of meanness and ignorance. While we can't change the attitudes of these people, this society should pay more attention to the workload and psychological pressure of teachers, and give them the respect and support they deserve.
Teachers have a heavy extra task outside of teaching, and in addition to classroom teaching, teachers also have to deal with various administrative matters, communicate with parents, prepare lessons, write lesson plans, and so on. Even during the winter and summer vacations, teachers have no real rest, they are always ready to answer parents' questions about students' learning, deal with disputes between students, and even sometimes reply to parents' WeChat and ** late at night. Teachers' working hours are not fixed, and they must adjust their working hours according to the emergencies that occur at the school. For teachers, even after work, they are not truly relieved spiritually, because they are always in a state of being connected by all sides.
With this extra work and stress, teachers can't enjoy adequate rest and vacation. Winter and summer vacations are life-sustaining grass for teachers, and they are valuable rest time in exchange for overdrawing their living time and physical health. If the winter and summer vacations are canceled, teachers will no longer be as flexible as they are now, commuting from 9 to 5, and I believe most teachers will agree with this change.
If someone thinks that the work of a teacher is not hard, it only means that they know nothing about the work of a teacher. Teachers work hard to educate the next generation, and they take on the responsibility of shaping the future, which is undeniably rewarding. There is no reason why we should not be respectful of their work and not be grateful for their labor.
However, the trolls who have emerged in recent years have been biased and misconcepted about teachers and have turned their ignorance into attacks. They always call for the abolition of teachers' winter and summer vacations on the grounds that teachers have winter and summer vacations, weekend breaks, and paid vacations. These trolls are ignorant of the peculiarities of teachers' work, and their rhetoric is uninspiring and full of irresponsible ideas.
These trolls also advocate that teachers should resign, or that teachers will be assigned jobs after they resign. However, this idea is just naïve and ridiculous. If resignation solves the problem, then does everyone quit? Can all industries solve the problem by quitting their jobs? These trolls have a hard time understanding the efforts put in by the teachers and the pressures they face.
These trolls often question teachers' salaries and even advocate the abolition of teachers' salaries during the winter and summer holidays. They don't realize that during the winter and summer vacations, teachers still need to complete the tasks assigned by the higher authorities, communicate with parents, and cannot completely detach themselves from their work. Teachers not only have to provide financial support for their families, but also face the pressure of living costs, and the abolition of salary payments during winter and summer vacations is undoubtedly an unfair treatment for teachers.
These trolls advocate the abolition of teachers' winter and summer vacation duties, but they lack the ability to act. If the trolls have the ability to make the higher authorities, schools and parents not disturb the work and rest of the teachers during the winter and summer vacations, the teachers can also give up their salaries for free and go to other high-paying jobs. However, trolls only talk empty words, but they cannot take real action to change the status quo of teachers' work.
For teachers, being on duty during winter and summer vacations is very inconvenient for teachers and female teachers from other places. Most schools now have full-time security guards on duty 24 hours a day, and there are no valuables in the school, and thieves will not take the risk of burglary. During the period of duty in the rural school, there is not even a place to eat, which is even more inconvenient for teachers from other places. Therefore, we should respect the reasonable needs of teachers and give them appropriate rest and protection.
Teachers don't have to waste time arguing with them when confronted with these trolls, and they don't have to be angry at their attacks. We cannot expect others to fully understand our hardships and difficulties, because no one can truly walk through this difficult road for us. Everyone has their own educational background and life experience, and it is unrealistic to expect others to fully understand. Therefore, teachers should learn to let go, ignore these attacks, let them go, and let themselves go.
In this online age, which is rife with attacks and misunderstandings, the challenges and pressures faced by teachers are self-evident. We should be admired and grateful for the dedication and hard work of our teachers, and we should also give them the respect and support they deserve. ** Society should create a better working environment and treatment for teachers, so that they can focus more on education. The hard work and dedication of teachers deserve our attention and cherishment, rather than letting them be burdened with attacks and criticism.
