In the past, parents often took the initiative to send blessings to teachers in the class group during the holiday season, although some of the blessings are not original, but it is indeed a way to express their hearts. However, this behavior was once criticized by **, and some people jokingly called these parents who took the initiative to send blessings "licking". Many people think that this gives people a bad feeling, so this culture gradually weakens, and many parents no longer take the initiative to send blessings to teachers, and even if the class teacher takes the initiative to send blessings, parents no longer pay attention. However, I think this situation is a bit excessive.
There is a reason for the parents' reaction, which may be a misunderstanding of this "licking" behavior, thinking that the parents who are mixed in the education group are just to please the teacher, and ignore the original intention of passing on their hearts. However, we can't give up food because of choking, and in this extreme atmosphere, we also need to think rationally about the meaning of parents' blessings.
Yesterday was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the author saw a scene in the third-grade parent group. At nine o'clock in the morning, the head teacher sent a blessing message in the group, blessing both parents and students, both in terms of content and time. However, before the class teacher sent out the blessing, no parent took the initiative to express the blessing to the class teacher, and the class teacher can be said to be the "first starter". The class teacher took the initiative to send blessings to parents and students, which is very valuable. It stands to reason that parents should also treat each other with courtesy and return wishes, even if it is a copy-pasted blessing, it is also a way to express their feelings. Surprisingly, however, only four parents replied with their blessings. According to the number of group members, this class is not very large, showing 51 people, and if you remove the teachers and distribute them evenly among the students' parents, there are at least 20 people. However, only four parents replied with blessings, not even half of them, which is indeed a bit less, and it is too little to give the head teacher face.
For a third-grade class, only four parents of more than 20 students responded with blessings, which is indeed a bit regrettable. As a child's first teacher, it is extremely important for parents to demonstrate and guide them in terms of etiquette. Although the act of "licking" will cause negative evaluations, and it is called sycophants and stammering, when the head teacher takes the initiative to send blessings, why not respond? It's also a basic courtesy. It is understandable not to take the initiative to bless the teacher, there is nothing excessive, but not to reply to the teacher's blessing is a bit unkind and not in line with social etiquette.
Whether it is from the perspective of ordinary people's interaction with each other, or from the perspective of education, it is natural to respond to the blessings of others. Rather than simply reducing the relationship between teachers and parents to stammering and sycophants, it is better to start from the basic respect and understanding between people, and face up to the hearts and emotions contained in such exchanges.
As a class teacher, they need the understanding and respect of the parents, not excessive stammering and flattery. Therefore, when parents receive the blessing of the class teacher, replying with a simple blessing in time will not be excessive, but reflects the parents' respect and gratitude to the class teacher. This kind of positive interaction and communication not only strengthens the relationship between teachers and parents, but also helps to create a good classroom atmosphere.
As a self-editor, I have independent thoughts and opinions on this phenomenon of "parents licking teachers". First of all, let's be clear that everyone's values and positions are different, and this kind of social behavior will be judged differently. However, in my opinion, taking the initiative to express blessings to the class teacher is a positive act of recognition and gratitude to the educator. Parents' respect and support for educators will help build a harmonious education ecosystem.
Of course, this does not mean that parents should blindly curry favor with teachers, or even use this as a means to obtain some kind of benefit. Education is a kind of guidance and companionship, and school and family are two important support points for children's growth. In this process, the interaction between teachers and parents is crucial. Parents' blessings are a simple and warm way of communication that can be passed on to teachers and class teachers, so that they can feel that their efforts and efforts have been affirmed and recognized.
Therefore, we should encourage parents to take the initiative to express their blessings to the class teacher, instead of judging this behavior with negative thoughts. For parents, replying to a blessing does not take too much time and energy, but it can play a positive guiding role. At the same time, teachers should also understand parents' hesitation and worries, and exchange their own efforts and sincerity for parents' understanding and support.
Finally, I hope that parents can face education and parent-child relationship with a positive attitude, understand and respect the efforts of educators, and convey warmth and care through simple blessings. The cooperation between parents and teachers will promote the all-round development and growth of children, and jointly create a more harmonious and beautiful educational environment.
