anonymous letter

When I got back to the office, I saw an anonymous letter before I sat down. For this sudden anonymous letter, I first thought, who, who will write me an anonymous letter? But then I answered with a smile, because I guessed it must be them.

After class, I handed the textbook to a student and asked her to deliver it to the office for me. And when I finished processing the students into the office, I happened to meet her and another girl coming out of the office. When they saw me coming, they quickly ran away with a mysterious smile. I guess it's because their fonts are so distinctive that I can see them at a glance.

So, what is the content of the letter? Several big squares caught my eye: Teacher, your desktop needs cleaning! How simple, but I have to sigh: how can it be reduced to reminding students to clean up the desktop? Has my laziness come up again recently? Or am I too busy? I don't think it's necessary to struggle, because all my classmates write anonymous letters to remind me to clean up my desk. If I don't clean up, I will be embarrassed if they remind me tomorrow. Must I save face? So I spent two classes at once, threw away everything that should be thrown away, and gave everything that should be given to the students, and finally satisfied myself for a while. Today, after class was over, the girl ran over and asked me if the desktop was cleaned. I said yes. Unexpectedly, she said seriously, Teacher, I want to check your desktop. Hearing this, if I use an expression to describe my mood, it must be the face in the WeChat expression. Later, she followed me into the office, looked at my desktop, and slipped out of her mouth: Well, it's clean. At that moment, like a teacher, she praised the fruits of my students' labor!

Now think about it: am I just cleaning my desktop? If I don't clean the desktop and am reminded by my classmates, is it really just about my face? I think these are the most superficial, perhaps, things will not be so simple. Students with good quality will not think: why don't teachers talk about personal hygiene? Students with average quality will not think: why should I talk about hygiene when teachers don't talk about personal hygiene? Students will also think: I reminded the teacher, why didn't the teacher respond? Teachers always say, correct mistakes when you know them. Why don't you correct yourself? In the face of these students' ideas, we can have our own set of rhetoric, but aren't these ideas naked facts to some extent? Perhaps, we can fool students with our own identities, but in the end, aren't we fooling ourselves? After all, we always say "learn from your teacher and believe in his way", but how can students "learn from us" and "believe in our way" if a teacher can't even do well in personal hygiene and refuses to correct his own mistakes?

Perhaps, some teachers feel humiliated by students, but from this incident, I really realize that students are often our mirrors, and their willingness to look after us should be our blessing, not our burden.
