Educational testimony

A few days ago, I was chatting with the Jiansong brothers in Ruruzhai, Xiamen. My wife talked about working in the handicraft industry for more than 10 years, investing countless efforts, but the prospects are becoming increasingly bleak. She is determined to retreat and pursue pure art. Jiansong said that he went to Beijing last year and all his friends in the circle were ashamed of working in handicrafts. When my wife hears it, it's even more unpleasant.

Listen to others' professional opinions, think about yourself, what is it like to be a teacher for 15 years? Apart from awkwardness, there is only shame left - on the one hand, I have never disdained being a teacher. What is the purpose of grades and life aspirations? On the other hand, I have always been unable to be a good teacher. My lazy nature is always used to pushing aside all the trivial tasks and meeting time alone. How can I achieve good results in teaching like this?

The starting point determines the level of future communication. "This is my view on the acquaintance and interaction between people. Actually, isn't it the same for professions? From the beginning, I came with the aim of finding a suitable job, hoping to seize my "secluded life" under the premise of "easy living" and in the space of "tranquility and solitude". But how could it ever be achieved? Firstly, it was not quiet, and gradually it became increasingly difficult to find a place. Moreover, the rare warmth between teachers and students had long been driven away by the demon king of scores. Is there any intention of continuing in this profession? Give up, how can you survive? For over a decade, I have often asked myself this question and made many attempts, including the hasty decision to go to a private school five years ago. In the end, the situation has changed, but the problem still exists and appears in a more acute form. How should I face it?

I don't know

Let's continue to endure.

Looking back, after teaching for 15 years, I have some emotions. Moreover, as an idealist in life, what ideals do I hold towards education?

I am pondering.

Education is about attention rather than indoctrination, about care rather than nitpicking, about guidance rather than coercion, about interaction rather than pressure.

The responsibility of a teacher is to help students go through this difficult journey of learning and growth, to constantly enrich and improve their knowledge, abilities, and soul, and to face the external world with a stronger self and find a foothold in life.

The art of teaching lies in igniting students' infinite longing through limited explanations.

Schools create a good educational environment and promote the common growth of teachers and students.

The greater the space provided by schools in addition to students' grades and teachers' treatment, the more practical a stage is created for quality improvement, and the greater the prospects of the school.

If one can become a teacher with such a mindset in such an environment, I think it is truly a teacher and a unique experience for educators. I'm just paying attention.
