I've been a teacher all these years, and I really haven't thought about getting anything out of the students' parents. I only care about students' academic performance and moral development, and those material rewards, to be honest, really don't pay attention to them. It may be that I have a more traditional concept, and I always feel that teachers should take teaching and educating people as their own responsibility, rather than relying on the relationship between students' parents to improve their own living standards.
But then again, there are times when it's hard to refuse the kindness of parents. I remember one time, a student's mother insisted on giving me a box of self-made snacks to thank me for my care and teaching to her child. Not only is the dessert look good, but the taste is also superb, and to be honest, I almost couldn't resist taking a few more bites. Although this is a piece of the parents' heart, how can I be embarrassed to accept it? In the end, he only politely declined.
In fact, I believe that most parents give gifts out of genuine gratitude, not to bribe teachers. But as teachers, it is our duty to educate every student well, not to accept their gifts. If we accept gifts, it will inevitably give the impression that we are favoring a particular student, which will not only damage the fairness of education, but also damage our own image.
So, as teachers, we should stick to our principles and not accept the benefits of students' parents easily. Of course, if they have to express their gratitude, we can accept some small gifts, such as a bouquet of flowers, a greeting card, etc., which is not rude, but also makes parents feel that we care. But in any case, we must remember that education is sacred, and we must not allow any material gain to tarnish this sacredness. Only in this way can we truly be a role model for others and set a good example for our students!
