The biggest lie in education: There are no students who cannot teach well, only teachers who cannot teach.

I don’t know who first said this and under what circumstances In short, many leaders still talk about him and regard him as a wise saying. However, as a teacher who has been working on the front line of teaching for a long time, I want to make my opinion clear: this is actually a complete lie and a ridiculous fallacy.

First of all, this sentence goes against the basic principles of education. Everyone knows that education is not a matter of teachers alone. It is a two-way interaction. Without students, how can we talk about education? And students have personality differences. Even a newborn baby is not really a blank sheet of paper. Whatever you apply. Different students have vastly different IQs, understandings, and receptive abilities, but the teaching goals are the same. This will inevitably lead to mixed results among students. If we look at overall quality rather than academic performance, it is even more impossible for everyone to be trained into high-quality talents.

Secondly, this sentence overstates the role of education. Its subtext is actually "education is omnipotent." Is education everything? If education is everything, then why do countries set up prisons? Just invite those prisoners to school for education. Education cannot be everything, and even the best education cannot cultivate every student into an outstanding talent, unless each of your students is himself a talent in the world. More than 2,000 years ago, Mencius once expressed emotion: "I would like to educate the world's talents." This shows the importance of outstanding students to teachers. Not to mention modern society. The best proof is that schools of all levels and types are competing for high-quality students.

Taking a step back, even if education is omnipotent, teachers cannot be omnipotent. Teachers are just ordinary people, not almighty God. He also has his own emotions and even his own shortcomings. How can we ask every teacher to educate every student well? Of the three thousand disciples of Confucius, only seventy-two were trained as "sages." Even if this is true for the sage Kong Kong, let alone our ordinary teachers today.

In fact, by analogy with other industries, we can also see the absurdity of this sentence: There are no students who cannot teach, only coaches who cannot teach; There are no patients who cannot be cured, only those who cannot cure. Doctors; there are no employees who cannot manage well, only leaders who cannot manage them; there is no war that cannot be won, only soldiers who cannot fight... We can see at a glance that these absurd remarks are inconsistent with the logic of life. of. So, why do some people believe this lie in the education industry? This kind of idealistic statement overstates human subjectivity and ignores the limitations of objective conditions. It reminds people of the slogan during the "Great Leap Forward" period: How bold the people are, how productive the land is! In three years, we will become the Premier League. Five years to catch up with the United States...

Perhaps the author of this educational "famous saying" just used it to motivate himself, which is understandable, but if someone takes it as a golden rule and requires all teachers to follow it If you execute it, you will be suspected of having water in your head!
