1. School motto is an important part of campus culture, which is naturally of educational significance, giving consideration to ideological and moral cultivation and behavior, with concise language and loud slogans.
2. School motto and school spirit are inseparable and are an important part of them.
3. The school motto reflects the overall value orientation of the school, is the guiding principle for implementing educational policies and objectives, and condenses its school purpose, characteristics and tasks.
4. The school motto should be very individual. Schools of different levels and natures should have different school mottos to guide students' thoughts and behaviors. Even in similar schools, the school motto should have its own characteristics.
5. The school motto has a wide range of pertinence, which is not only applicable to the main body of teaching: students and teachers, but also binding on the faculty of the whole school. It is extremely absurd and contrary to reality to think that school motto is only the rule and goal of cultivating students.
6. The purpose and content of school motto are always changing and developing, reflecting the brand of the times and shining with the glory of the times.
To correctly grasp the overall characteristics and exclusive attributes of school motto, the above six aspects are indispensable.
School motto is the embodiment of school tradition, a directional educational means and management measures. In the course of its development, each school will more or less form its own unique historical tradition and humanistic landscape, attracting, infecting and shaping individuals in every atmosphere. Using this long-term invisible force to educate teachers and students' thoughts, emotions, will, character and behavior is naturally irreplaceable by any other way.
Our school has attached great importance to the construction of school spirit since its establishment. 1985 The school motto of "unity, preciseness, truth-seeking and innovation" was put forward, which revealed the quality specifications of talents trained by the school in concise language, made clear the direction of teachers and students' efforts, prompted teachers and students to form high-spirited thoughts, condensed the centripetal force of teachers and students, and made due contributions to the construction of campus culture, the formation of excellent school spirit and the development of the school.
The 20th century is an information age. The requirements of economic and technological development for people's quality can be expressed as "fourfold": emphasizing foundation, method, ability to absorb and process information, innovative spirit and practical ability. Adhering to the characteristics of the times, the younger generation put forward new requirements for the unique functions of school motto, such as edification, infection, assimilation, guidance, encouragement, cohesion, restraint and evaluation, hoping to reflect the characteristics of the times and the will of the main body. School motto is the best advertising word in a school, so it should show its own characteristics and avoid similarity and rigidity. The same or similar school mottos as our school are: Beijing Institute of Technology: unity, diligence, realism and innovation; East China Electric Power University: unity, diligence, realism and innovation; East China Jiaotong University: United, rigorous, realistic and diligent; East China University of Science and Technology: seeking truth and diligence; Shantou University: innovative, realistic, diligent and United; And Shanghai University: Diligent and realistic. Because the school's characteristics, professional characteristics and expertise in cultivating students are not fully displayed, few people answered when we investigated the school motto of teachers and students in our school. The role of school motto can be seen.
In order to strengthen the construction of spiritual civilization on campus, cultivate and build excellent school spirit, absorb the rich heritage of national culture according to the requirements of the times and the purpose of higher education, and reflect the characteristics and personality of our school,
Based on the principles of "novelty", "elegance" and "practicality", and taking philosophy, conciseness, catchiness and easy memory as the standards, we propose to carry out school motto collection activities throughout the school, hoping to form a school motto with China characteristics through the brainstorming of teachers and students, and become the concept of school development. "Grasp the beginning of life; Don't forget the great cause, wait for me. " This is an enhanced school motto.
"Today is the beginning of students; The pillar of tomorrow's society. " This is an interpretation of the school motto.
"Life has just begun, and the size of time must be cherished; Great things are waiting for me, and young people must work hard. " This is the deepening of the connotation of the school motto.
School motto poem. This year marks the seventieth anniversary of Zhengshi Middle School. An old alumnus specially wrote a Tibetan poem of the school motto to congratulate him:
Life is seventy years old, and it's still spring.
Ye Wei and Fang Xingdong danced with the wind, and I waited for Kunpeng to fly to Wan Li.
The poem praises Zhengshi's great achievements and encourages Zhengshi students to prepare for a bright future thousands of miles away.
