What is the primary threshold for becoming a teacher: teaching ability? Academic background? Work attitude? From this point of view, the most important thing about is "teacher's ethics". Only when teachers have teacher's ethics can they know what should be done and what should not be done.
Domestic teachers not only have high barriers to entry, but they also need to be strictly supervised by their parents at work. If they are reported accidentally, their teaching certificates will be revoked and their careers will be ruined. But obviously, foreign teachers are not bound by “teaching qualifications”. Does this mean they can do whatever they want?
A foreign teacher at Country Garden International School in Foshan, Guangdong, was accused of "seducing" an underage female student. The chat history between the teacher and the student was unsightly, and the photos were even more outrageous. The Education and Sports Bureau has responded.
An international school in Guangdong: Foreign teachers have been accused of "seducing" underage female students. The Education and Sports Bureau has responded
Domestic and foreign teachers are not uncommon. On university campuses, Sino-foreign cooperative education ’s study abroad classes are almost exclusively staffed by foreign teachers; ’s off-campus training institutions, IELTS, TOEFL and training courses, foreign teachers are far more popular than domestic English teachers. Even off-campus tutoring institutions in primary and secondary schools have successively launched foreign teacher courses.
English is a compulsory subject for Chinese students from childhood to adulthood, and the status of the main subject determines everything. As a language subject, parents have also acquiesced: Foreign teachers have spoken the language all their lives and will definitely teach it better than domestic English teachers. The most basic thing is that for the same tuition fee, you can learn the purest spoken English from foreign teachers, which is enough to attract parents.
Nowadays, domestic education is seriously involved, and the college entrance examination has become a hurdle for ordinary students. However, students from wealthy families can cleverly avoid this problem, that is, to study in universities abroad. However, studying in universities abroad requires students to have extremely high English proficiency. If we follow the training model of traditional domestic primary and secondary schools, it will be useless no matter how high the score is. Studying abroad will still result in mute English.
Parents have needs, and the market will respond. International schools have emerged as the times require. Students trained in such schools may have average scores in other subjects, but they can develop English as fluent as a "second mother tongue." Even ordinary colleges and universities have opened international departments and Sino-foreign cooperation classes to attract parents. The secret to 's enrollment is naturally foreign teachers.
We don’t know how well foreign teachers teach, but obviously, not all foreign teachers have teacher ethics. A student broke the news on the Internet: When he was studying in the International Department of Qian Yali Middle School in Changsha, Hunan, he was "seduced" by a foreign teacher. The most outrageous thing was that the female classmate was only 15 years old at the time and was still a minor, but she was raped by the foreign teacher.
"Foreignness" should not be a reason for teachers to excuse themselves. Schools must strengthen the review of foreign teachers.
Yali Middle School subsequently conducted an investigation and responded: The foreign teacher is no longer employed in the school and said it would verify the relevant situation. netizens investigated and learned that this foreign teacher has now joined Country Garden International School in Foshan, Guangdong. The staff of the school responded: It is under investigation.
Changsha Education and Sports Bureau responded immediately after learning about the situation: It is under investigation. The teacher's quick response and active investigation reassured the parents, but it could not heal the pain of the injured female classmate. After many years, she finally had the courage to stand up and accuse the teacher. You can imagine how much harm this incident caused her.
However, in the eyes of netizens, this is not the first time that foreign teachers have been morally incompetent. However, in the past, many students chose to seek help from their parents and schools privately instead of publicly exposing the incident. Foreign teachers frequently have problems. According to netizens, the root cause of this incident is that the school did not conduct detailed back-up on the renaming of foreign teachers.
Nowadays, whether it is hiring foreign teachers, domestic civil servants, or state-owned enterprise recruitment, candidates will be screened. Examining the person’s past experience is also the basic guarantee for the position. This is true for civil servants, and it should be even more true for teachers.
Especially foreign teachers, the Ministry of Education issued a notice not long ago, which has clarified that the employment of foreign teachers by off-campus training institutions must comply with regulations. From this point of view, the recruitment of foreign teachers in schools also urgently needs the Ministry of Education to promulgate strict qualifications.
The most basic thing is, Whether the teacher has a record of being reported or complained by parents when he was working as a teacher in his home country? If so, he should not be brought into the country and given the opportunity to serve as a teacher. Domestic teachers receive traditional education. During their studies in normal colleges, they were also deeply influenced by the spirit of teachers. It is inevitable that every teacher who takes up their post will do their duty and care for students.
If foreign teachers are particularly tolerant just because they are “foreign”, parents will never agree. The introduction of foreign teachers originally created an excellent English learning atmosphere for domestic students, but if foreign teachers cannot be strictly screened, it will only tarnish the teaching environment of domestic schools, parents will not feel at ease, and students will not be able to grow up healthily.
The author’s message:
I hope the Ministry of Education will severely punish this foreign teacher. I also hope that this incident will sound a warning to other international schools: they must treat the employment of foreign teachers with rigor and prudence in the future. Only by ensuring the safety of students can we promote the long-term development of education.
