Teachers were dismissed for corporal punishment of students, and 44 of the 47 parents worked together to retain them, causing a storm on campus
Education is a vital task, and for those who are engaged in education, it is necessary not only to impart knowledge, but also to have the wisdom and spirit of education. Students and parents expect educators to make learning more interesting and meaningful. However, the recent incident of corporal punishment of students by teachers at Liaobu Mingzhu Primary School in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, has attracted widespread attention and is shocking. Although the teacher was eventually dismissed, it sparked dissatisfaction among many parents. Why is this so? This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the causes and implications of the incident, in order to provide readers with valuable food for thought.
The event passed. Corporal punishment of students: On May 12, 2019, a second-grade primary school teacher in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, was dismissed from the school for corporal punishment of students. It is reported that the teacher once made the students walk for a long time, and if they did not do it well, they were subjected to corporal punishment, and uploaded the filming of the incident to the Internet. **The bruises on the child's body are clearly visible, which shocks and angers the parents.
Parents retain teachers: The incident sparked controversy when the teacher in question gave a social testimony arguing that the student made inappropriate gestures, causing her to overreact. The school issued a statement condemning the teachers involved and apologizing to the parents. However, more than ninety percent of the parents expressed their willingness to retain the teacher involved, believing that she was just impulsive and intended to educate the students.
3.At issue: Can teachers physically punish students?
At the heart of the controversy was whether a teacher could physically punish a student. The law clearly stipulates that corporal punishment is strictly prohibited in China, such as the "Disciplinary Rules for Primary and Secondary Education" promulgated in 2016. From a legal point of view, teachers must comply with relevant regulations when dealing with student discipline issues and avoid violating the law.
The importance of professional ethics in education.
The ethics and professional conduct of the education profession are of great concern. Teachers should not only be transmitters of knowledge, but also pay attention to the all-round development of students. The choice of corporal punishment by the teacher involved is contrary to educational ethics.
Choice of corporal punishment and education.
Parents and teachers have different views on the choice of education. In education, methods such as encouragement, praise, and rewards may be used to pay attention to students' psychological state, actively guide, create a positive educational atmosphere, and avoid the use of corporal punishment.
Summary. Education is a long-term and arduous undertaking that involves teachers, students and parents. This incident has taught us that when educating students, educators should pay attention to educational ethics, respect students' personal dignity, and adopt appropriate methods to conduct education. Parents should pay attention to their children's physical and mental health and establish a good cooperative relationship with the school. The whole society should attach importance to education work, respect education practitioners, and work together to create an excellent educational environment.
