saw an article on the headlines today, saying that teachers are too cruel and should not use the example of a student with a fever to insist on attending class as an example to encourage other students to attend class on time. It also posted a record of the conversation between the student and the teacher.
I read the full text carefully and also looked at the screenshots he posted. I silently reflected on what I said in class and reviewed it. Fortunately, I didn’t say that. Because my students did not give me this opportunity, they all asked for leave when they had a fever.
Of course, I don’t let them continue class even if they have a fever. When they have a fever, most of them are accompanied by a headache. When they have a high fever, they will feel cold all over, and many people will be drowsy.
All the willpower is used to resist the pain and discomfort. I don’t even want to eat. How can I have the energy to attend class?
The teacher is not a god. He has had a fever himself and knows what it feels like. How can he let a student with a fever attend class?
Look at the screenshot again. The teacher said to the two students respectively:
"Sleep peacefully." "If you feel uncomfortable, just rest and take medicine." The teacher clearly recommended that the students rest.
Thinking about it carefully, what actually makes this parent unhappy is that the teacher advises the students with fever to rest, but uses the perseverance and self-discipline of the students with fever to encourage other students without fever!
But the question is, is this wrong?
The encouraged students probably didn’t have a fever but didn’t go to class. Then the students who had a fever still persisted in order not to miss their homework. Shouldn’t you who don’t have a fever go to class on time?
Is there anything wrong with such a conscientious teacher?
It is also possible that a student who did not attend class also had a fever, but did not ask for leave. The teacher did not know that he had a fever, so he just followed the requirements of healthy students. Then you don’t ask for leave from the teacher and you don’t have a sharp eye, how would you know?
It’s not the teacher’s fault if I don’t ask for leave!
So, this parent just took the quote out of context and made trouble out of nothing.
As a teacher, I understand that although teachers may not necessarily treat students as lovingly as children, they will never have any ill intentions toward students. They just want to help students gain more, learn more, and become better while accompanying them.
virus At present, no one can be alone. People who often go out can be sheep, and those who stay at home can be sheep. The same virus has different symptoms, and only you can understand the feeling.
I am very curious. If the teacher asks for leave and does not attend class because of fever, what will the parent say?
I listen to my son’s teachers every day. As long as it’s a teacher from another class, I know I won’t be able to hold on. I can’t tell if I have a fever or not. But the speaking voice was hoarse.
The English teacher was the one with the longest illness. For at least a week, every day I heard the teacher teach students with a hoarse voice, reminding students of their homework, and occasionally accompanied by the crying of children. I really felt sorry for that teacher.
But she never missed a minute of class because of coaxing her children. She never paid attention to her son's crying. His throat sounded hoarse. Did he feel like he had swallowed a razor blade? What I know is that he did not correct a student's homework less, and did not take care of a student who did not write his homework on time.
The day I had a fever, I had a splitting headache, body aches, and dizziness. I just wanted to sleep. My husband was not at home at the time, and I had to take care of a child who also had a fever. At that time, I asked a colleague to take my class.
But after the fever subsided the next day, I started taking it on my own. The effectiveness of online classes is not good in the first place. If students have to adapt to new teachers, the learning effect will be further reduced.
Therefore, when the teacher said something like that, he was just asking students without fever to go to class on time so as not to waste their time and live up to their youth. It really does not match up with the cruel label that the parent put on them.
What do you think? Do you think the teacher is responsible or cruel?
