To be a good teacher, we must first be a "conscientious person", be enterprising, and have love, patience and responsibility for students. Love is the most important. Love is the root. "Without love, there is no education". Our director often says: "Love is the core of teachers' morality. "He said that to evaluate whether a teacher is excellent or not, the first thing to look at is whether he has deep love. Because knowledge can be learned, methods can be improved and experience can be accumulated, but love for every student must come from the heart. With love, the teacher is half the battle.
One autumn four years ago, I went to a remote village in XX District, Guizhou Province, as one of the third batch of volunteers from XX City to teach in Guizhou, which was more than four hours' drive from XX County.
The land there is barren, the people there are poor, and the life there is poor.
There are clear streams, but countless fruits can't be irrigated; There is also a winding mountain road leading to the county seat, but some people have never walked out of this mountain in their lives; The children there are eager for knowledge, but they can't afford the tuition in 50 yuan; There are schools there, too, but there is no modern equipment! There is often no electricity! Because there is no electric light, in winter, when the dawn is very late, the school can only postpone the time of going to school ... We have money on our teaching teachers, but we can't find a place to buy things; I have my mobile phone with me, but it's useless because there is no signal. Even wanting to take a bath is a luxury wish. Compared with there, Shenzhen is a paradise!
I remember one time after school, a teacher warmly invited us to his home. What kind of home I saw! Low earth wall, wet ground, grassy roof, under dim oil lamp, people and animals live together in one room. Although I was prepared psychologically, I was shocked by the poverty in front of me! 400 yuan's monthly salary is often not received as scheduled. However, it is they who, for decades, have been working in the poor position of teachers in obscurity and without regrets.
In the teachers in the mountainous area, I really realized the teacher's ordinary and kindness, and the teacher's heartfelt love for the students. This kind of "love" comes from noble teachers' morality, which means selfless dedication. Mr. Tao Xingzhi's broad feelings of "holding a heart without half a blade of grass" are a kind of selfless love and dedication. I understand that teachers' love for students comes not from personal grudges, but from the needs of society and education. This kind of love is stable, this kind of love is permanent, this kind of love is profound, and this kind of love is closely related to the social responsibility of teachers.
I often ask myself: if I want to stay in the mountainous area of Guizhou forever and take root in this barren land all my life, can I stick to this three-foot land without regrets like the teachers in the mountainous area? I am ashamed that I have the courage to teach in the mountains, which others admire, but I have no determination to take root in the mountains. Please forgive me, it's hard for me to do it. Local teachers, they did it. They worked here for a long time, received a meager salary, and remained uncorrupted until they were too old to stand on the podium and died. On my deathbed, don't forget to educate my children to inherit the glorious profession of teachers! I am proud that I have the same name as them as a "teacher", and I am more satisfied that I am a teacher in Shenzhen, an educational paradise.
The story of the mountain teacher cleansed my mind, struck my soul and shocked my heart. It prompted me to leave all my energy and love to these treasures in the mountains. In class, I teach my children cultural knowledge while teaching them. I am poor only because I have no money, but I must have hope in my heart. Every weekend, I will visit students' homes in different mountainous areas; On a cold winter night, I used a flashlight to look at the students who rented houses next to the school, to see if their quilts were covered, to check whether the doors and windows were ventilated, and to worry that they would be poisoned by burning those inferior coals for heating. ..... As a teaching teacher, there is only so much I can do, which is far from the continuous dedication of teachers in mountainous areas for decades!
Every day, there is a wild flower with morning dew on the windowsill of my house, which is picked by children who have to go to school barefoot because they are poor and have no money to buy shoes for my teaching teacher on the way to school. Those beautiful little wildflowers are the pure hearts of children. Until today, the wild flowers stained with morning dew in Guizhou mountainous areas are still in full bloom in my heart and will never fade! Always so fragrant, always so delicate and charming.
I returned to Shenzhen with the shock and touch of teachers and students in Guizhou mountainous areas, and became the first batch of experimental teachers of curriculum reform, serving as the head teacher of first-grade children. Each semester has 2 1 week. I insist on writing a letter to the parents of 52 students in our class every week. There is a topic to talk about every week, such as children's performance in school, class situation, exam results, and education methods for children. Many parents cherish these letters printed in ink. Last year's Teacher's Day, when I was on vacation at home, I received a letter from the mother of a student who was not outstanding in the class, a handwritten letter with a stamp of 80 cents. In the letter, she said, "Maybe my child is not your best student, but you are my child's best teacher." At that moment, I shed tears. I feel the understanding, support and affirmation of students and parents. As a teacher, I feel extremely honored! What kind of feelings can be so sincere and simple? What kind of feelings are more touching?
I am not a poet, so I can't eulogize my career with touching poems. I am not a scholar, and I can't think about my own value with profound thoughts; I am not a singer, so I can't praise my post with my beautiful voice. However, I will write down my lifelong commitment with my full love: to be a people's teacher full of love for students!
The cause of flowers is sweet, and the cause of fruits is precious. Let me do the business of leaves. I would like to be a green leaf and care for innocence with love; Cultivate growth with wisdom; Open your heart with sincerity; Fly your ideals with hope; Hold up tomorrow's sun with both hands! Create the brilliance of life with love!
