The topic is a bit sensitive, really because many incredible things have happened in the school since the beginning of school recently.
Although I am a flexible off-campus employee-an unemployed teacher, I have children at home.
And I've been thinking about giving gifts recently.
Of course, my principle is that flowers can be sent, but never gifts. Sending flowers is a heart, and giving gifts is a welfare.
I wonder if this understanding is correct. I always think that sending flowers to teachers is a blessing to hard-working gardeners, and it is to let children develop the cognition of loving teachers from an early age. Once a gift is given, it becomes the need of others and the hope that the teacher will take care of my child's interests.
On the contrary, parents and teachers are embarrassed.
But also easy to cause involution.
You 500, I 1000, revenge. However, at this point, the social atmosphere cannot be changed by manpower.
To give a few examples,
Two days ago, in a school in Liuzhou, a committee group asked parents to chip in to buy cosmetics for their teachers. One of the parents refused to participate and was asked to quit the group. After the incident was exposed, the local education department took the initiative to reprimand it, and the matter went away.
The letter from the education department is very well written, and it is in the form of an open letter, saying that it is necessary to build a clean and upright relationship between home and school, and that it is absolutely forbidden for faculty and staff to accept gifts under various excuses and excuses in violation of the provisions on honest teaching.
And called on parents to take the initiative to resist giving gifts to bad styles.
However, I always feel that this is not the point.
On the one hand, there is no list of schools and classes involved.
Not once or twice, but every year. It was exposed this year, but it was not sent. What about last year? What about the year before last? Although it is disgusting to turn over old accounts, violations also need to be traced. If it is found out, can it be punished by publicity? Make an example of others?
On the other hand, it lacks appeal to parents' demands.
Obviously, the family Committee has already done this, and it is tacit. We should find the root of the problem. If the school can match resources and manage teachers well, whether parents give gifts or not, teachers can set an example, don't look at others and don't teach because of money, then parents naturally have no motivation to give them.
Everything has a cause and effect.
Just like the popularity of off-campus training, the internal cause is that schools can't satisfy it;
Parents get together to give gifts to teachers, but the internal cause still needs to be found from the school.
Management mechanism, moral standards, punishment decision.
Only by fundamentally restraining teachers and managing behavior from the system can we stop this unhealthy trend.
Let's give a very simple example. In the kindergarten where my daughter attended, it was once popular for parents to buy food for the children in the class, and the whole class bought it as soon as they bought it.
Later, the garden found that this behavior caused psychological and economic pressure on some families, so it stopped directly and parents were not allowed to bring food into the garden. Birthday parties are organized by the garden, and it is enough to organize birthdays for the children of that month once a month.
Everyone is quiet, and parents don't have to worry about "what gifts and snacks to buy".
Do you think parents can be controlled in school?
You can even control your parents' travel codes and health codes. You said you couldn't control the gifts?
