Why is the status of teachers considered to be the lowest period ever? Reasons for this.
Throughout history, it is no exaggeration to say that the current status of teachers is the lowest it has ever been. Not only in reality, but also on the Internet, many teachers are already discussing the teacher-student relationship and expressing their worries. Quite a few teachers have even taken a direct stance – the status of teachers is currently the lowest in history.
Today, it is an indisputable fact that the authority of teachers is subject to the legal system, not only for parents but also for students. The current teacher-student relationship, whether intentional or unintentional, has a lot to do with eliminating paternalistic management from the perspective of protecting minors, with the aim of freeing students from the heavy pressure of paternalistic management, allowing them to gain freedom, learn democracy, and grow up happily.
It can be said that the starting point is good, thinking back to the adolescence of our generation, when the teacher was in a word, the order was like a mountain, and the classroom management method was single, either reprimanding or increasing the intensity of reprimand. Although the management effect is good and the results are fast, there are many shadows on the hearts of students, at least fear and trembling, and the relationship between teachers and students is difficult to be equal and not harmonious.
In order to correct the atmosphere of the past, the students had a lot of power and protection, which in turn restrained the teacher, who now only has some power to discipline and tickle. Students are now using fashionable words – freedom, rights, protection, unscrupulous in the teacher-student relationship, as if they are not educated, but defenders – guarding the rights and interests of self-aggrandizement! Some even override the teachers and look like bullies.
Many teachers feel the same way, the current primary school students are not afraid of teachers, some teachers play at will, but also a kind of scoundrel (especially in the compulsory teaching stage of the first stage of middle school), so that teachers are helpless, every day in the classroom happily teach, angry outside the classroom, alone to heal.
In the final analysis, what students are afraid of is actually the fear of teachers, and the fear of knowledge and life experience. If they are not afraid of the teacher, do not affect the teacher's performance of duties, and do not affect the teacher's class, then it is not a bad thing.
But the reality is not so rosy, there are many elementary school students who are restless, and they also disrupt the classroom, undermine discipline, and as teachers, they treat the classroom as if it did not exist. Over the years, the reason why the protection of minors has been defended is that under the traditional patriarchal system, under the dignity of the teacher, children tremble, develop physically and mentally deformed, deal with timidity and fear, and the vitality of innovation is extinguished, which also suppresses the heart of teenagers.
What's more, the patriarchal culture among teachers does not exclude some ** people from using their authority and power to coerce and coerce students, which is even more detrimental to the growth of teenagers.
Imagine, in terms of age, physical strength, development, experience and other factors, there is a big gap between teachers and students, which is reflected in the relationship between teachers and students: teachers are in a strong position, and students are in a weak position.
In this case, if we continue to adopt the traditional dignity of the teacher, the parental style prevails, and the students are easy to manage, but there are many students who are suppressed and suppressed, how can we liberate the students' learning, creativity, and innovation! The current policy is biased towards students, whether it is institutional protection or legal maintenance, students put on armor, they have courage, which is equivalent to students from the original weak side armed to the stronger side.
As a result, strong students and equally strong teachers fight each other. This plays both in the teacher and the student"Fight"The role of the protection of minors is also to reverse the trend of traditional paternalistic teacher domination.
Unfortunately, this is a time of change for teachers and students, with social policy, the legal system, and the public** all tilting in favor of students. This puts forward higher requirements for teachers' management and response skills, and to put it bluntly, the work of teachers in the current situation is getting harder and harder.
However, after the current period of teacher-student relationship change, the teacher group and the student group basically understand each other and form a general social consensus on the teacher-student relationship, then the dignity and awe of teachers will return, but not now, the current teachers are still in the process of changing the teacher-student relationship, which is the eve of the coming of light, the eve of the bright coming of the teacher-student relationship.
As a result, our group of teachers is still shivering in the pre-dawn night. After surviving this dark night before the dawn, a new teacher-student relationship will be opened, a new teacher-student relationship, which has both centralism and democracy, both discipline and freedom, both unity of will and personal comfort, and is alive, such a harmonious teacher-student relationship situation.
