It's another year of teacher's festival, and when teachers enjoy the fruits of their teaching and the wishes of their students and the recognition of their parents, the teacher of sports in a primary school in hangzhou, zhejiang province is not very happy - • he was recently appointed by the school as a second class teacher in the third grade, and did not expect to “leave out of school” after a joint opposition from 22 parents。
“how can a sports teacher be concerned about a child's performance in a classroom?” “the child has to take a mid-level test, achieve grades, and the teacher has to be the head of a class, which has an impact on the child's academic performance!” these are the reasons of parents. But isn't this money teacher really fit to be a class teacher
One of the school's teachers, wen, told the journalist: “the district education department has in recent years attached great importance to the development of physical education and education, with special attention to the development of young sports teachers”. In particular, he mentioned that the teacher was fully capable of being a teacher. He was very good: last year he was awarded the district's “leading award” and became a new member of the church, and during the school term he was a school clerk, very popular with students。
However, parents who are bound by traditional ideas are still in conflict with the fact that physical education teachers are school directors for their children. In their view, only the principal teachers, such as language, mathematics or english, could be class directors。
“this is a typical discipline of discrimination that has no justification.” according to mao jin-ming, director of the physical education college of beijing teacher training university, a sports education specialist, “we have always emphasized general education, and there is no requirement that only teachers in the language of instruction, number and number of external teachers be class directors. The role of the classroom teacher is to manage the class, and the teacher of physical education has the advantage of teaching physical education. If you want to be a class teacher, then let's just put it in order to see which class teacher is best suited to be a class teacher.”
As mao jin-ming said, some parents are now in the wrong zone: they do not place the criteria of being head of a class on the quality of the teacher himself, and that is why the parents joined up against the physical education teacher as head of a class, and the school was finally compromised by pressure from the parents. “this has disrupted the normal teaching of schools, and we did not expect the social impact of this to be so great.”。
In the case of such “leaved classes”, it can be assumed that the teacher of money will be very frustrated, after all, according to the school administration, well equipped to perform the work of the headmaster. However, from the point of view of society as a whole, it is no accident that the experience of a teacher of chauvinity has its own problems, which is one of the reasons why parents are not comfortable with the teacher of sport as a classroom director。
“all our physical education teachers should also reflect on themselves.” mao jin-ming told journalists that “since the creation of the subject of physical education, 109 years have passed and it has been a long time since quality education was introduced, but the image of physical education teachers among parents has not changed much. The image of physical education teachers in the parents' image is that they are not civilized, are not very nice, are not able to justify themselves, and are of mixed personal qualities, indicating that the quality of physical education teachers needs to be improved.”
