Enough stigma education is enough, and the teacher takes a group photo of the failing students, causing the students to cry
True education is the integration of intellectual development with virtue and good deeds. Sometimes, a teacher's words are like a ray of light that can leave a lasting impact on the students' minds. Sometimes, a teacher's behavior can make students doubt themselves or even lose self-confidence for a long time. However, there are large differences of opinion on some educational methods in society, and it is difficult to reach a consensus.
Take, for example, what an elementary school teacher did.
After an exam, an elementary school teacher decided to take pictures of students with different grades. The teacher first arranged for the students who scored more than 90 points to stand on the podium in two rows and take pictures of them as a souvenir. The students were all smiling and elated. As you can imagine, the teacher should have affirmed these students and encouraged other students to learn from them.
Subsequently, the teacher arranged for the failing students to come to the stage, lined up in several columns, and took a picture of them **. These students have their arms down, looking a little restrained, their eyes lacking brilliance, and some even full of frustration and helplessness.
The two groups** were in stark contrast, with one of the parents' daughters feeling depressed because she didn't pass. The mother decided to talk to her daughter after receiving the **, but the child cried and expressed her inner grievances.
For this incident, there was a heated discussion on social **.
Some argue that the teacher's approach is understandable. Praising students with good grades can not only increase their self-confidence and motivate them to learn, but also motivate students with lower grades to see their goals and work hard.
A netizen said: "After experiencing setbacks and feeling ashamed, only then can you have the desire to change and move forward positively." This helps to develop excellent individuals. ”
There are also some parents who support the teacher's approach, thinking that when they were young, they all stood up in class and took pictures!
However, there are also those who believe that the teacher's approach is wrong. Categorizing students by grade can hurt a child's self-esteem and is not motivating. They emphasized that "true education should be a combination of intellectual development and education of virtue and good deeds." ”
This incident has triggered a deep thinking about the way of education in society, and people have become more and more heated in the discussion about which education method is more effective.
The teacher's intentions in this approach may be positive, with the intention of making parents feel ashamed, motivating them to invest more time and attention in their children's learning, and at the same time hoping to inspire students to be motivated to work harder and strive for good grades.
However, the actual situation may not be what the teacher expects, and it may cause resentment among parents and hurt students' self-esteem. The teacher's expectations may be wishful thinking.
One parent expressed difficulty in accepting this motivational approach, emphasizing that her child already knows how to respect everyone, rich or poor, by the age of five. She worries that if a child encounters such a situation at school, it will have an irreversible impact on her worldview. The parent said she would be very angry if her elementary school students were photographed by teachers for poor academic performance. She understands the teacher's desire to push the students to go further, but she can't accept this approach and doesn't want the young children to be traumatized.
Another senior teacher shared his opinion, saying that he did not approve of this practice after more than ten years of teaching graduating students. She stressed the importance of avoiding hurting the self-esteem of children and parents in education, and even being cautious about naming them in groups, because once the damage starts, it becomes very difficult to reverse it.
At any given time, it is quite inappropriate to shoot a group of students who have failed. What's more, primary school students are still in the stage of development, and every child contains great potential. This practice of taking pictures can take a serious toll on a child's self-confidence.
Life is like a marathon, and failing the current moment does not prevent you from excelling in the future. Every child is unique, and grades alone don't give a full picture of a child's potential. Oppressive education may be effective for a very small number of children, but it may not work for the vast majority of students.
In the process of educating students, teachers can first try to adopt "encouragement" education, find out the bright spots in students, and give more encouragement and support. Use more effective methods, and if they really don't work, consider other ways.
There are many ways to educate, and not just one is limited. When educating students, it is important to keep in mind the diversity of the world, and that every student is developing and unique.
What do you think about this? Have you ever been in a similar situation?
