Managed teachers in Yangzhou, Jiangsu are paid tutors and cannot make up lessons for relatives’ children. What do you think?

The opening of schools has been postponed, weekends and summer vacations have been reduced, and in some places there are no signs of schools starting yet. Of course, many education and training institutions will be affected accordingly. The reduction of student holidays has naturally affected their business.

Therefore, some people joked that the phenomenon of make-up classes that had not been solved for many years was finally solved by the epidemic. However, now that schools are open and there are holidays, education and training institutions also have opportunities. After all, they are also formal business institutions, and it is impossible for them to close down. This is also a big industry.

Since then, the problem of making up lessons has arisen.

It should be said that this market demand exists. Especially affected by the epidemic, some parents feel that their children's learning has been delayed a lot, and they really want to make up for it from the tutoring market. Whether it is an education and training institution or an on-the-job teacher, there are opportunities.

Although there are efforts to control the phenomenon of make-up lessons every year, and there are also efforts to rectify the paid make-up lessons provided by in-service teachers, the results have been minimal and difficult to eradicate. Because the biggest problem is that there is this demand. Today's parents attach too much importance to education and always want their children to make up more points. This may be a kind of psychological comfort, but also a great expectation.

However, a document recently issued by Yangzhou Jiangdu District Education Bureau’s “Implementation Opinions on Regulating In-Service Teachers’ Engagement in Paid Tutoring” clearly defines the behavior of paid tutoring and encourages real-name reporting.

If it can be truly implemented, this will be a heavy blow.

Among these, the most attention-grabbing one is helping relatives and children to make up lessons. The document clearly stipulates, “If you help the children of relatives and friends to provide free tutoring, but fail to report the number of free tutors to the school and the district education bureau, or if the number of people reported does not match the actual situation, it will be treated as paid tutoring. ”

That is, as an in-service teacher. First, you can make up lessons for the children of relatives and friends for free, but you cannot make up the lessons for a fee, and you cannot charge a fee; second, even if you help the children of relatives and friends to make up lessons for free, they must be registered uniformly, and the number cannot exceed 5 people.

There is another rule that is also quite powerful, that is, "Real-name reports are encouraged, and a reward of 1,000 yuan will be awarded and kept confidential." What is also worthy of attention is that "each school randomly selects more than 10 parents every semester to organize discussions or telephone interviews, and more than 20 students conduct questionnaire surveys to understand whether teachers are engaged in paid tutoring."

Obviously , launched a comprehensive supervision system for the situation of paid tutoring for in-service teachers. Not only are there reports, there are also investigations against students or parents.

It can be said that it not only blocks the excuse of relatives, friends and children, but also adopts a comprehensive supervision system. In-service teachers are paid to make up classes and are almost “doomed”.

However, even if it is so strict, there are still loopholes that can be exploited.

First, can the executor carry out the task truly, resolutely and fairly? Humanity still exists in this society. As an education department, can and dare we punish teachers who provide paid tutors? It is also worth observing. After all, some teachers also have connections or backgrounds. If they encounter intercession and greeting, can they still carry out it? If the implementation is selective, the seriousness of this regulation will inevitably be greatly compromised. This difficulty should be estimated.

Secondly, regarding paid or unpaid tutoring for the children of relatives and friends, the operability is not strong. It is not difficult to report this matter. What is difficult is how to define paid and unpaid. Since they are relatives and friends, there are many ways to give money. Even if money is really given, it is impossible to tell the outside world. What's more, teachers who are a little smarter won't be so stupid as to directly charge money for making up lessons. In short, they will have more ways to cope. After all, we are relatives and friends and spend too much time together.

The concept of friends is relatively broad. As long as we know each other, we can be considered friends. Even if you don’t know it, you can become aware of it.

Third, should teachers have a decent and legal way of income? The key reason why in-service teachers should be prohibited from providing paid tutoring is that some teachers take advantage of their teaching skills. After all, students or parents have requests from teachers, and even if they do so voluntarily, they may be forced to do so. This is not acceptable. It is obviously an unhealthy trend and should be strictly rectified.

However, an excellent teacher should be able to use his talents and rest time to earn himself a decent and legal income. This path should be available. The key is to standardize and regulate it. If used well, it can be regarded as giving full play to the residual heat of their knowledge.

Unless their teaching salary is high enough, or they can rely on their own ability and diligence to earn high income instead of low salary, they may not have that strong desire to make up paid lessons. Otherwise, if their income is low, teachers will have to find other ways to increase their income.

Of course, what is more fundamental is the in-depth reform of the examination and admission systems, and we no longer care about scores. But it’s too difficult for the time being. After all, what is relatively fair may actually be exams and scores. Otherwise, it is easy for the powerful to take advantage of the loopholes.
