As a contemporary educator, Li Xigui's decades of teaching experience should have different feelings about the pain points of China's education system. As a headmaster, he should also have a lot of management experience. Through the book How Schools Work, I saw the future schools in China: student-oriented; At the same time, there are many shadows of management. The school governance structure is very scientific. In the words of his book, "the problems that can be solved by the structure do not need the system, and the problems that can be solved by the system do not depend on the meeting". His management experience is to make a difference in the organizational structure of the school without touching the rules and regulations under the original system, and the institutions that operate with high-quality structures are scientific institutions.
After 80s, we grew up in "quality education". After more than 20 years of school education, we know more or less the structure and general operation mode of the school, but if we really want to understand the mode from the inside, we can only have a half knowledge. I am not engaged in education, but now, as the father of two children, it is particularly unusual to look at the operation of the school from the perspective of parents! President Li Xi said, "If you take teachers as the center, teachers will take students as the center." As a basic school, student-oriented is not to give students what they want, let alone to indulge, but to think about their future based on their growth.
This reminds me of a recent topic, which is the rectification of off-campus discipline training institutions. Perhaps there are many "reasonable" reasons for the existence of off-campus training institutions: helping parents who have no ability and time to coach; Improve children's competitiveness; Solve the employment problem. Undeniably, these remedial classes are really helpful to children's learning objectively, but they also cause the involution of this society to a certain extent. Yesterday, Luo Pang's Inspiration Club mentioned this problem, and the cram school caused a "theater effect": one person in front stood up, causing the people behind to stand up and watch, but in the end, what everyone saw was just a play. At the same time, there is a trend of polarization in education: the rich use money to educate their children and get superior educational resources, while the poor can only spin around in a bad educational environment. In the long run, the phrase "let knowledge change fate" can only stay in history, and the division of education will also lead to the division of classes! And this time, the rectification of the extracurricular tutoring industry, to some extent, also hopes that everyone in this country can see their rise!
And this hope will eventually be implemented on the shoulders of the school! President Li Xi's thoughts on school system also aim at enabling children to develop and grow through the platform of school. The most important thing is to give all children a fair chance to receive education. Of course, on a large scale, it needs the support of national policies and regulations. The implementation of this system in a specific school means the management of the school, which makes the school run more smoothly and scientifically from strategic top-level management, front-line teaching, middle-level management, auxiliary staff to ensure the smooth progress of teaching, teacher team management, matrix management and other management methods.
Of course, there is one more thing that I have to mention. Regarding the organizational change mentioned by President Li Xi in the previous chapter, he thinks that the organizational form of the school can't be static, and we must always cope with the changes in the social environment and constantly push ourselves out of the comfort zone. Moreover, the change is not as changeable as the wind and rain. Only with the pioneers and watchmen of reform can we get the best model at the lowest cost. The most successful leaders are those who train subordinates to be leaders and those who train leaders to be changers. While promoting change, leaders are also sentinels scanning risks and grasping the direction of school development in the face of the overall situation!
