Why is teacher status the most instantly recognizable in a crowd?

I am a retired teacher. This question has been tucked away in my mind for a long, long time. So I was happy and willing to chime in when I saw this discussion topic.

There is one thing that has been puzzling. And it's something that I've actually experienced myself. It was more than twenty years ago. Once went to the city to play colleagues home, home by tricycle, my home in the mountain village more than twenty miles from the city. Just as I got on the tricycle and sat down, the driver of the tricycle said to me in a loud voice, "Teacher, please sit still. I wondered how he knew I was a teacher when I had never met him before. But I deliberately asked the driver without showing my face, "Master, what did you say just now? The driver turned back to me and said, "I said, teacher, please sit still and steady. "In the car driver turned around to look at the face, I am 100% sure that this car driver has never met, much less an acquaintance. At this point, I said to the driver a little seriously, "I'm not a teacher. But the driver said with certainty: "I bet you are a teacher, and elementary school teacher." This is strange. "This is strange. I still said, "I'm not a teacher," but the driver said, "I bet you're a teacher, and a primary school teacher. But the driver said with a more certain tone: "Well, go back to your village and ask the people in your village, if you are not a teacher, the fare will not be charged: if you are a teacher, you will have to pay three times the fare to me, okay? "(When I got on the bus, I said that the fare was 20 yuan) Boy, I did not expect the bus driver to make a big joke. Carry on like this is no fun. Because back to the village once asked to know, then have to pay two times the fare. Not worth it! I had to say to the driver: "Master good eyesight. I am a teacher, and indeed an elementary school teacher. But I sincerely want to ask the master, how do you know that I am a teacher and your tone is so sure. But the driver slyly said: "This is a secret, not to be divulged to the public.

This is the first time that I have ever seen a teacher in the world, and I have never seen one.

Friends, this problem I have been puzzled, now take the opportunity to discuss, please masters can help me answer, this car driver and I do not know each other, but why can you see that I am a teacher to come?

In the crowd, it is easiest to be recognized as a teacher is primary and secondary school teachers, especially rural primary and secondary school teachers

1. Most rural primary and secondary schools are short of staff, the proportion of young people entering the teaching profession is very small, and many old teachers who have just retired soon returned to the school as substitute teachers. According to the statistics of my neighboring schools, the average age of teachers is over 46.5 years old.

2. Mediocre appearance. Rural primary and secondary school teachers are dressed very neutral, "not soil not foreign ″, male absolutely few green leather flat head, and no strings tattoos; female few dyed hair big wave volume, and no heavy makeup ...... general teachers are not representative of the professional attire, even if the individual school has a uniform clothing, the quality is also poor, the teachers are reluctant to often wear. The overall image is slightly tidier than that of migrant workers (without discriminatory tendencies).

3. Dull skin color. Teachers' work characteristics in society have a lot of misunderstandings, in fact, teachers work under pressure, intensity, long working hours, the vast majority of teachers suffer from varying degrees of chronic diseases, occupational diseases, and leave difficulties, can only be carried. Teachers work and rest although there is a certain degree of regularity, but get up early (two hours earlier than the general institutions) is the norm, stay up late is often, long-term work at the desk, lack of exercise. A variety of factors superimposed, resulting in blood deficiency, reflected in the body surface of the most obvious feature is the gray face.

4. The vast majority of teachers' eyes are not good, a little younger myopia, a little older or myopia or astigmatism, and wear glasses are generally cheaper frames, more pristine.

5. Professional character. General primary and secondary school teachers' education to secondary teacher training and specialization, undergraduate, especially full-time undergraduate is very little, the external talk without academic; no civil service administrative authority and the professionalism of a particular institution; neither foul language nor chaotic bragging; the public places gentle and elegant and unobtrusive, the commercial places out of the constraints of a slightly small gas.

In short, teachers are still very recognizable in the crowd, especially rural primary and secondary school teachers, according to the author's experience, in all likelihood, see an accurate.

Why is it so easy to recognize a teacher in a crowd?

A few nights ago, the surrounding neighborhoods skipped a round, Huo!

The other night, I took a look around the neighborhood!

There is a sliver of restaurants open, overcrowded. There are a few platforms to engage in barbecue, pandemonium, its happy. Oil smoke barbecue, smoke, men and women, young and old, bustling, there is no lack of men bare chest, bare feet crossed legs, eat a lot of fun, really lively.

On the way back, the child said, near these new neighborhoods, moved to so many people, we have become "outsiders".

Yes, the new tenants of the foreigners is too powerful, all night hustle and bustle; and then there is, a small park to make the gongs and drums, and the square dance, and singers, really doubt that they are not sleeping all night! At twelve o'clock there are still people shooting jitterbugs.

"How come our neighborhood is so quiet at all times?"

The child's words made me wonder. Until I saw this question today. Indeed, it is ah, around the neighborhood new, mostly coal mine workers, either family members. Our neighborhood is an old neighborhood, living and teachers' families, on the morale, it is not the same!

In a crowd, it's really easier to be recognized as a teacher.

This has a lot to do with the profession.

From the point of view of the dress , teachers inevitably wear some orthodox, and even some can not catch up with the fashion, even if the female teachers, but also give a person the old formal or even outdated, anachronistic feeling.

From a verbal point of view, teachers speak courteously, and even some of the words, loud, clowning only a few.

From the point of view of personality, teachers are modest and elegant, so there are also few wildly shouting, domineering. There really aren't that many workers who can be aggressive or vulgar and reckless.

Some people have said that teachers are pedantic and acidic. This may indeed have, the reason, or professional, you can think about, education, knowledge of people, really should be "is is, not is not", as small as a stroke, as big as a formula, should be so! If you can say "maybe, probably, almost", do you think such a teacher can teach good students? The first thing you need to do is to make sure that your child is in good hands with such a teacher!

This is what the attitude towards knowledge is all about.

Over time, stained ears, do not learn to be able to. So, even if the teachers' family home, most of the people have assaulted this atmosphere, so our neighborhood is really considered clean, quiet, safe and calm.

Of course, such a neighborhood, the most unlike teachers are those who engage in logistics in the school, they are in our compound, a glance can be seen. Because what? The professional temperament is different.

Nowadays, people are quite critical of teachers, such as finicky, stingy, have never seen the world, light fear of being fooled.

In fact, the calculations can not be considered a defect, right? A profession that makes a class of people to be meticulous, not only to their own constraints, but also to the contribution of society, is it wrong?

What if you live in a lawyer's family compound? I do not know who has had that feeling, living in the hospital family building? And what is the feeling? That should be a small group of "cleanliness"?

Gouging, I think belongs to the individual's way of spending money, generous not to care, spending money like water, I think it may not be the "workers" to do it?

"Have not seen the world", "light afraid of being fooled"? This is some connection, because teachers, most of them are "from door to door" career, that door out, is a graduate student, this door in, is the work of the teacher, so, the society of the seven or eight, the social filth and deceit, most of the teachers really experience very little, that have never seen the world, really quite a lot of it.

So, the "fear of being fooled" is normal.

In fact, teachers are also a group of people who are not really understood by society. They also have their own problems and difficulties. The first time I saw this, it was a very good thing that I was able to get my hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and I was able to get my hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world. What about being a slacker? To be honest, when you are doing it, you are serious about it, and "being a teacher" will eventually lead to a lot of people doing what they are doing, seriously and meticulously.

So, teachers for the pursuit of family life less, for the pursuit of ideals more people, the heart has enough, so ignore the external. Thus, the people who mocked them for their old-fashioned dress and old-fashioned speech and behavior also happened to be the people who did not understand them.

But teachers are also a group of people who are lifelong learners, similar to lawyers and physicians. I don't know if you know, most of the teachers who have changed their profession are doing a great job, either in politics or in business, and teachers are not bad at all. This has to do with their ability to learn, their management skills, and their rigor.

Teachers in the crowd is easy to see, teachers are gentle and courteous talk from not loud and have respect and let. Other people ask questions or ask others. All are pleasant, never hurt people. Roughly, these are: there are many more subdivided.

Every move, every action, every word, no matter how you talk, no matter how you act.

Two sleeves and a pen in the breeze,

Three-foot podium and snow stained temples.

Schools are not the same as society,

but they are a mixture of fish and dragons.

The school is different from the big society,

and there is a lot of fish and fowl in the sea.

The actor's wit, the politician's cunning, the scholar's wisdom, the businessman's shrewdness.

Facing decades of students, there is no foul language in his mouth. Hearing profanity sardonic, being polite to people. Serious, self-esteem, good teacher. Thinking childish.

I am also a teacher, a few times to buy things in the supermarket, go to pay, the cashier said, you are a teacher, right, I asked with a smile, how do you know, she said, from your demeanor to see out.

She said this, you wear a pair of glasses, polite, speak in a fine voice, I initially concluded that you are a teacher.

Later, I thought carefully about what the cashier said, there is indeed her reasoning, I also carefully observe the people around me, carefully identified, indeed, teachers seem to give themselves a label, can be seen at a glance.

Most of them are gentle, speak politely, treat people quite politely, and have a distinctive temperament.

The above is only a personal opinion, if not, please correct the criticism. I'll take it with a grain of salt.

What's in a person's head is what's in a person's head!

I'm the kind of teacher who looks like a teacher.

In fact, I'm not technically a teacher at all. I don't have a teaching license either. I teach in a training organization. We deal with managers of corporate businesses.

But somehow. I just carry the phase. Anyone who says I'm a teacher.

To say that may be because I am thin.

Teachers, especially college teachers, are mostly open-minded and shy! It is not like the TV series that acted as a gentleman and elegant, lady style.

My contact is with the first line of university teachers who are on their way to the podium.

They are a group of pragmatic people. The key is that there is no such thing as an unhealthy, unhealthy, unhealthy, unhealthy, unhealthy, and unhealthy. The key is that there are no conditions for paper and gold, nor do they have the funds for luxurious enjoyment. All there is is the trouble of sending papers. The pain of engaging in projects. Add to this the mischievous students (the troubles of the second and third schools) or the harshly tested leaders of the department and the courtyard. (A book of misery)

This is: starve their bodies, labor their bones. Bitter their minds, empty their wallets!

So, the college teachers I'm in frequent contact with, including myself, are thin. Woah, woah, woah, not even a decent fat person.

Clothing-wise. Teachers don't even have designer labels. The economy doesn't allow it either! If you don't have a husband who earns a lot of money. The women teachers are all plain and unassuming in their appearance.

But, given the teaching and educating people at least fall a wind does not blow, the rain does not hit, not on the night shift, do not drag the class. (You want to teach more students still do not do it). So teachers are generally more stable. The tone of voice, not panicked, not anxious, not impatient heart, in fact, is a very good face value baking tool.

I know several teachers. Not very old, but, lively and not impetuous. Calm but not shriveled. Quietly blossomed their unique flavor in the crowd.

In fact, being a teacher is also a way to cultivate oneself. Especially college teachers. The high school grades sift out the students who are particularly mind-numbing. They are not as distraught as elementary school teachers. Nor are they as stressed as middle school teachers. University teachers and students, teaching and learning, and still quite comfortable.
