Who is the school for?

When it comes to educators in China, people often think of Confucius, Zhu, Cai Yuanpei and Tao Xingzhi. Educators in China seem to exist only in people's memory. In fact, in the real society, there are many teachers and educators with noble morality and lofty sentiments. They have the ability and talent to engage in education and management in schools at all levels and in various educational posts. They not only have rich practical experience, but also have made unremitting exploration in the field of educational science. Their theoretical exploration and research is an important driving force for the development of educational science in contemporary China. The column of "Xingtan Accumulated Salary" in Modern Principal Weekly will focus on the in-depth thinking of grassroots educators based on practice. It is hoped that more educators will pick up their pens, rationally sum up and improve the practical experience at the grassroots level, and make the torch of contemporary China's educational thought burn more brilliantly. -Editor-One of the reflections on the practice of traditional education management. Schools are places to educate people. The ultimate goal of the school is for the development of students, and the school is naturally run for students. However, in the face of the routine of education management that everyone has been accustomed to, we can't help thinking deeply. Many schools like to write educational policies on the walls of their buildings. In primary schools and kindergartens, there are copper characters that "education should face modernization, the world and the future". I think, "three aspects", can children understand? If you can't understand it, then why write it in the most attractive place? Who is it addressed to? Can't you write "study hard and make progress every day" on the wall that students can understand? The mottos of schools all over the country are mostly eight words, and quite a few of them contain the words "pioneering" and "innovation". School motto is the soul of school culture and the core connotation of school spirit. But isn't the same school motto a signal of the loss of school culture? Many schools also write school mottos on the walls, but if there are few teachers, let alone students, who are these school mottos written for? With the development of economy, some new school buildings have been built all over the country. The school building is beautiful, but it always looks like a government office building when you look left and right; Some schools paint the walls of school buildings white, but they always look like hospitals. Many people think that culture needs to be accumulated, and it is certainly impossible for a new school building to have culture. Some principals decorate cultural construction, just stick a few students' works on the wall and stick a sign casually in the green space. "How can you stand on the grass?" I think, does the cultural construction of newly-built schools really have to wait 100 years? For the university campus, the appeal of cultural heritage is the most important, while for primary and middle school students, the cultural atmosphere is more appealing and more educational than cultural heritage. The creation of cultural atmosphere is related to the development of students, but why is it difficult to walk? The superior leaders will come to inspect and the school will launch a general cleaning of teachers and students. The leader came, and the students were at the school gate, holding flowers and shouting slogans in the cold wind. In order to implement the law on the protection of minors, a school called all the students to the playground and invited the township head to make an "important speech". The wind and sand were rolling on the playground, and the leader talked for half an hour. It seems that many times, schools are not for students! I often see the principals of some famous schools talking about being admitted to Tsinghua Peking University. I will ask: How many hours do your students sleep a night? Many schools take less than seven hours. We adults usually sleep for eight hours every day. Why do we let students sleep so little? Just to get into Tsinghua Peking University? If it is at the expense of health, it is considered that everyone has been admitted to Tsinghua Peking University. Is it worth it? If you let students sleep for eight hours, will the college entrance examination fail? It is an undeniable fact that middle school students have a heavy academic burden. With the enrollment expansion of the college entrance examination, the most difficult students everywhere turn to junior high school students. Three years have passed, and the innocent and lively pupils have become junior high school graduates with dull eyes and pale faces. After the senior high school entrance examination, many students were admitted to key middle schools, and the principal was on his high horse. The slogan "Congratulations to a classmate who has been admitted to a key middle school" is hung all over the street. If the red scarf is dyed by the blood of martyrs, what is this bright red slogan dyed? In order to implement quality education, the higher authorities hold art festivals, science and technology festivals and sports festivals. The school attaches great importance to it, because it is the only window to show the effectiveness of school quality education to the society. Schools choose seedlings first. Physical education class relies on strength to organize several students to train every day; Dance, vocal music, large-scale programs invested tens of thousands, please surprise rehearsal by famous teachers; For individual projects, parents invite social training institutions to conduct surprise training; Scientific and technological works, or parents do, what small inventions, what small production, parents across the ocean. Winning the lottery, under the cover of the gold medal, the whole school students have less sleep time. It seems that many times, schools are all about fame! There are only two months before the end of the semester, and there are still classmates fighting. The teacher was in a hurry and handed the students over to the class teacher. The class teacher was annoyed and called his parents at once. "Now is not the time to fight. Take it back and make it clear before you study. " The most common way for parents is to scold their children: "How can I meet people if I don't live up to expectations and can't get into the top few?" After the storm, parents send their children to school, and teachers are preparing lessons or changing homework or attending classes. "Go to your seat." An understatement is enough. I thought, why don't teachers teach students to be human? The teaching task is too heavy, are you too busy? If you only teach without educating people, can you also enter the hearts of students, and can you be regarded as an engineer of the human soul? But I thought, can you blame the teacher? Almost all schools assess teachers because the indicators of educating people are too difficult to assess. In fact, they only look at students' scores. If too much education affects grades, can a teacher bear the pressure from all sides? In the open class, a young teacher jumped up and down on the podium with great passion; A few lucky students are also very enthusiastic about this; Attendees are also infected by teachers; It's just that a group of students sitting in the back row are not interested. The audience asked the students in the back row why, and they said, "She's acting, whatever!" Why is the teacher acting? There are too few opportunities for open class activities, so teachers should try their best to impress experts and leaders in the limited opportunities. It seems that many times, the needs of students are not taken into account by educators! Everything is for students, for all students, for all students. How well said! I think, when will this sentence really be more than just a slogan?
