CCTV.com Review:
Don’t let the right to punish education become an “restraint ruler” that cannot be moved
Another teacher was criticized and was disqualified from the two-year evaluation and promotion qualification. A teacher in Suining, Sichuan announced the Chinese scores of the midterm exam in the class QQ group, and criticized the score below 85 points to hinder the class.The school determined that the teacher "violated the teacher's ethics and style", but some people believed that this was a normal "punishment" educational behavior and that the teacher should not be punished.
cut from related reports from Red Star News
educator Makarenko once said: "Appropriate punishment is not only the right of teachers, but also the obligation of teachers. If you do not understand punishment, teachers will give up some of their responsibilities." In July this year, the "Opinions on Deepening Education and Teaching Reform and Comprehensively Improving the Quality of Compulsory Education" issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council , clearly granting teachers the right to punish them.
However, in actual teaching, how many teachers dare to pick up the "rule" and exercise the right to punish? Not long ago, a reporter from "Banyuetan" interviewed many principals and teachers in Hunan, Jiangxi, Yunnan and other places. They said that for a long time, education authorities at all levels have repeatedly banned corporal punishment, but have "silent-mouthed" in supporting teachers to exercise the right to punish the right to moderately. The imbalance between discipline enforcement and rights protection has made some teachers choose to "be self-protection" and "do not want to, cannot, and dare not manage."
The "rule" in ancient schools was forged by the concepts of "strict teachers to produce high students", "not leading teachers to teach, no academic success", and the social atmosphere of recognition and punishment education gives space for display, and the purpose of "doing what you do, and stopping what you do" gives motivation, so you will naturally dance. So many decades ago, some parents said to their teachers: "Just treat their own children, and if you don't learn well, just beat them!" However, the harm caused by excessive corporal punishment is also obvious: some students are beaten by teachers, and some students have psychological and mental problems.
Therefore, in recent years, more and more people have agreed to "appreciate education", so that as long as the children are unhappy, they blame the teacher, and the children cannot say or touch it. A middle school teacher in Ziyang, Sichuan was beaten by a social staff gathered by his parent Shu. The reason was that the teacher had stopped Shu from playing with his mobile phone at school; a primary school teacher in Anhui was intercepted and beaten by his parents for criticizing his class violations, with scars on his forehead reaching more than ten centimeters. In such an atmosphere, which teacher can move the education "rule"? If you can't hold the "rule" and you will lose one educational method, the result can be imagined that some teenagers are lawless and lack punishment education since childhood is one of the important reasons.
The ancient "rectangle ruler" could not be used, but its driving force can be learned from. The "rule" of contemporary education should be moved. The most important thing is to create an educational environment and social atmosphere that allows "punishment". The most fundamental thing is to establish a scientific education concept that is widely accepted by society. The most important thing is to have practical and clear implementation rules. Only in this way can punish education get out of the quagmire formed by corporal punishment that brings harm and abandon unprincipled spoiling. It not only saves teachers from unknown "reports", but also better educate the next generation.
