Recently, the incident of Shanghai parents backhanding teachers for making up classes has aroused widespread attention. This incident shows a lose-lose situation: parents lose, children lose, and teachers lose. We should reflect deeply from this incident and pay enough attention to the phenomenon of make-up classes.
First, parents lose themselves. Although the parents' children's grades increased from 80 to 140 points through make-up classes, seemingly a victory, they lost the trust of friends and colleagues. After knowing that the parents reported the teacher, the people around them will begin to suspect the parent's ungrateful and mercenary character. Such image damage is not conducive to the development of parents in the workplace and society, and may even be excused by employers or superiors.
Secondly, the child also loses. As a parent's child, can he still maintain the relationship between friends after his classmates know about it? He will face suspicion from his classmates, as the teacher loses his job due to the parent's report, and the child may experience psychological stress and confusion. And when the leader investigates illegal make-up classes, he is also likely to talk to the child, which is an unpleasant experience for the child.
In the end, teachers are also losers. The Ministry of Education has long clearly stipulated that no illegal supplementary classes are allowed, and once discovered, they are immediately dismissed from public office. It was a huge failure for the teacher to break the rules for a small profit and ended up losing his job. As educators, you should lead by example, fulfill professional ethics, and set the right example for students.
This incident has led us to think deeply about the phenomenon of make-up classes. The prevalence of make-up classes reflects parents' excessive anxiety and utilitarian mentality about their children's academic performance, and also reveals problems in the education system. Parents should face up to their responsibilities, provide a good family education environment for their children, and cultivate their correct values and learning attitudes.
At the same time, we also call on the education department to strengthen the supervision of the problem of supplementary classes, strengthen the training and guidance of teachers, clarify the punishment measures for illegal supplementary classes, and ensure the fairness and justice of school education.
We need to build a relationship of trust between parents, children and teachers to contribute to the growth and development of children. Only in this way can we create a good educational environment where every child can receive full care and education.
