Yesterday, the "People's Daily" public account published an article ""Return the Ruler to the Teacher"! This Primary School Wants to Punish the "Naughty Child"" tells the story of a primary school in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province that wanted to "eat crabs" and introduced a system to punish the naughty child, and held a hearing for this purpose.

I think if this question were asked in ancient times, all teachers (teachers) would be very surprised:

Isn’t it natural for teachers to punish disobedient students?

I specifically checked the relevant information on the Internet and learned that:

In the oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the word "teaching" is vividly represented as: Children under the threat of corporal punishment with sticks, Learn arithmetic. The emergence of the word "teaching" has a long evolutionary process, and my country's "education punishment" has a long history.

Educator Yang Xianjiang said: "As long as there is life, there is education." So it can also be said that "With education, there is education and punishment."

Since education and punishment are educational Companionship has inherent and inevitable correlation, and it is only an important means and tool of education. But why now: When we talk about punishment, it often has a derogatory connotation?

01

Why does the teacher no longer hold up the "ruler"

?

" The son does not teach, it is the father's fault, the teaching is not strict , "Teacher's laziness", "A strict teacher produces a good disciple"...

I believe many people will recite these famous sayings before going to school. But, why now, the teacher doesn’t dare to hold up the “ruler” anymore?

On September 20, 2017, teacher Liu Hai used a pointer to hit the student's buttocks and legs because the student failed to complete his homework, and was eventually given an administrative demerit.

In June 2018, Mr. Xu, the head teacher, beat a student for punishing a student who urinated on the teacher. Finally, he apologized to the parents of the students, paid the medical expenses, was ordered by the school to learn the "Teacher Code of Conduct", and was given a warning. and communicate criticism.

I also saw this true story of a netizen on the Internet:

A famous math teacher who has taught in a county-level middle school for more than ten years, his professional standards are impeccable, and local students and parents are trying every possible means. She is proud to be in her class. This teacher lives up to expectations and does her best to continue the myth of mathematics teaching year after year. Everything looks very beautiful.

Until a video of the teacher beating a student was quickly spread on the Internet:

In the video, in front of the blackboard, the teacher punched, kicked and scolded three or four male students. Scolding...

In this way, this famous mathematics teacher who was respected by everyone fell into the whirlpool of public opinion:

The comments under the video were piercing sword after sword. Yashiro's personal attacks and the bottomless insults from Shangzuna and Shangyin instantly shattered her three views...

Perhaps, everyone is more likely to accept a teacher with a spring breeze and a rainy style, and cannot accept the vigorous and resolute behavior of an outstanding famous teacher. But she is the one who feels anxious and even angry when she sees students not studying hard: If she doesn't take advantage of her youth to work hard for a good school, she doesn't know how much trouble she will suffer in the future! ?

She believes in this saying: Take a break when you are young, and take a break when you are young!

Therefore, her anger reached its peak when those students continued to go their own way and did not do their homework despite her repeated orders...

The storm of the virtual world and the heavy blow of the real society , she has experienced it all.

After the education department intervened and investigated, the solution was quickly released:

The whole county was criticized, with one year's salary deducted, an apology to the parents involved, and transfer from the original unit to the countryside. Teach elementary school.

Later, it was said that this former famous teacher resigned voluntarily after teaching 1+1=2 to children in the countryside for half a year.

In the 1980s, there was a strong social atmosphere of respecting teachers and education. If a teacher slapped a ruler down, there would be no problem. Some parents would even thank the teacher for educating their children. Now, if you love your life and take action, the follow-up will be very troublesome.

Because as long as a teacher hits a student and is sued by a parent, communication with the parents will most likely be fruitless, and most of the time the teacher will compromise. Regarding school troubles, most education departments adopt a zero-tolerance approach to decisively deal with them, which must be the teacher's trilogy of "admitting mistakes, apologizing, and being punished."

Many teachers said:

Today’s teacher-student relationship is no longer so pure. Teachers must be wary and unable to let go if they have to risk their careers to manage students. Therefore, many teachers dare not raise the "ruler" and do not want to raise the "pointer"!

We do not rule out that some of the teachers who were punished were punished with excessive corporal punishment and committed heinous crimes. They deserved the punishment they received. However, we believe that many teachers hold a ruler in their hands and have light in their eyes. teacher.

Why do parents not accept that their children are being punished

I remember some time ago, a friend complained angrily about his son’s teacher in the circle of friends. After learning about it, it turned out that Because the child didn't complete his homework, the teacher slapped his ears corporally. The ears became red and swollen. My son kept complaining that it hurt, and he even cried and was scared when he fell asleep.

In recent days, my son has also shown great resistance. He does not want to go to school or see his classmates. Therefore, he was very angry and felt sorry for his child. He always wanted to go to the teacher to argue with him, and he also wanted to cause trouble to the teacher. Fortunately, his wife stopped him.

On July 25, 2018, Guilin Evening News reported a news story. Mr. Huang sent his son Xiaokai to a summer camp. On the way, his grandma picked him up after celebrating his birthday and found obvious bruises on the child’s thighs and calves.

After questioning, the son said:

During the break, two classmates teamed up to play with him, so he found a piece of wood and went to chase him. Later, the classmates complained, and the teacher took it. He was dragged to stand next to the boiler in the kitchen. I was very angry at the time. I felt that the teacher was being unreasonable, so I scolded the teacher and spit on him several times. Xiaokai said that the teacher then hit his right thigh one after another with a wooden stick. The teacher took him to the school hall and forced him to stand for more than two hours. In the middle, other students came over to watch the fun, so he pointed at them. When the teacher found out, he hit his right thigh again with a wooden stick.

Although, the teacher also said the reasons why Xiaokai punished Xiaokai:

Being naughty, not listening to the teacher’s criticism, spitting at the teacher and classmates, and repeatedly emphasizing that the child is too naughty, He refused to listen no matter what he said, so he was punished appropriately.

Mr. Huang, Xiaokai’s father, questioned:

What big mistake did the child make that would make the teacher so cruel as to injure the child?

I believe you have encountered or heard of such parents, because now they have only one child, who is the baby bump of the family, and the whole family is surrounding them, so how can they be willing to give it a spanking? Just like the flowers in the greenhouse that are doted on, if you say something serious, you are afraid of hurting your self-esteem, destroying your self-confidence, and affecting the healthy development of your children. Compared with those of us in the 1980s, who were generally beaten and scolded by teachers, they are more than a little fragile.

As a parent, it is inevitable to feel sorry for your children. As a teacher, it is your responsibility to educate your children. At present, parents and teachers seem to be incompatible with each other when it comes to their children's education.

Because, in reality, there is no clear boundary between "punishment" and "corporal punishment", and there are no clear rules. In this case, what teachers consider "necessary and appropriate punishment" may be regarded as "corporal punishment" by parents and students, leading to conflicts between teachers and students and even between home and school.

The power of education and punishment is not needed by teachers, but by our children.

If jade is not polished, it will become useless.

In the Ming Dynasty, an educator named Huang Zuo proposed:

If you skip school without any reason, you will be punished by reciting the book 200 times for one time; for the second time, you will be slapped with tarts and you will be punished with ten pieces of paper. Zhang; three times, he was punished as before, and his father and brother were still punished.

Teachers can not only "taunt" students, but can even punish students' families. (Although it is a rare and more personalized rule)

Lu Xun’s first teacher, Mr. Shou Jingwu, was a learned and extremely strict man. In his Sanwei bookstore, there was a ruler and a punishment of kneeling. rules.

In this world, teachers are the ones who should not be harshly criticized, and naughty children are the ones who should not be coddled and pampered. Although there are many materials that can be carved in the world, the process of carving them into rough jade is also very laborious. Only after the finished object can it shine.

Throughout the ages, there have been naughty children in every era, and there are also many teachers who manage and educate naughty children into elites.

The Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, Ding Weiyi, paid a special visit to his mentor when he returned home. He said, "I was born in a poor young age. Mr. He's teachings, which made me successful, are all thanks to Mr. He."

One of my former company bosses was very grateful to his primary school teacher for strictly disciplining him. When he was a child, he was the youngest child in the family. He was naughty and mischievous in class. After class, he would go around causing trouble and fighting with his classmates. He was often sued by his classmates' parents, and his parents treated him badly. I already had a headache so much that I didn’t even want to care about him. Fortunately, he had a good class teacher. He kept an eye on him during class and after school for half a year. He punished him severely and provoked him. He broke several sticks with the pointer. Finally, he slowly got him back on the right path. current achievements. So now I still have frequent phone calls, and I don’t forget to visit my teacher every time I go home.

Netizen "Yun Dan Feng Qing" said: If my teacher hadn't strictly disciplined me when I was a child, maybe I would have really become a street gangster. I'm glad that my parents didn't go to school. Go make trouble, otherwise, my life may be ruined.

Netizen "Prince" said: I got into college because of my teacher's beating. At that time, I didn't like studying, was naughty, skipped school and was almost expelled by the teacher. It was my father who apologized to the teacher that allowed me to continue studying. My father told the teacher that if I didn’t obey, I would be beaten hard. I am still very grateful to the teacher. Now that I think about it, I made the right decision.

Netizen "Invincible Test" said: When I was in school, every time we took a math test, the teacher would give us score requirements. If we didn't meet the required score, we would be given several whips if we missed the mark by a few points! Use the bamboo sticks of the bamboo broom to whip your back! I got a bloody pimple on my back from the bamboo knot. When I got home, my mother looked at it and said, "I deserve it!"

Netizen "Dong Ye Huo Lu" said: When I was a child, I was beaten by the teacher. I didn't dare to go home and tell my parents because I might be beaten again by my parents. I felt that the teachers at that time were highly respected, but actually my parents were also afraid of the teachers.

Teachers are engineers of the human soul, and teachers are the most glorious profession under the sun.

When Minister of Education Chen Baosheng appeared at the "Ministerial Channel" of the Two Sessions in 2018, in front of a crowd of reporters, Minister Chen's words "let teachers become an enviable profession" warmed the hearts of many teachers.

In 2017, a mother wrote an article "Child, I hope you can meet a teacher with a ruler in hand and light in his eyes" when her child started school, which attracted countless netizens*** Ming.

In a questionnaire survey of teachers, we came to the conclusion: More than 95% of teachers believe that appropriate punishment is necessary. In recent years, there have been more and more calls for "Return the Ruler to the Teacher" on the Internet.

Because the power of education and punishment is not needed by teachers, but by our children.
