A teacher should be a child's what
What kind of teachers do students need most? In the eyes of parents, teachers who can make their children get high marks may be defined, but do they think so in the eyes of children? Let's discuss it with examples! Teachers are good or bad, we should stop at those aspects! This year, my son Kane is in the third grade, so he often receives short message advertisements such as homework counseling. These advertisements all claim that they have a strong faculty, and famous teachers and teachers have their own unique tricks, which can enable students to get higher test scores. Somehow, nowadays parents often regard their children as machines, thinking that as long as some excellent teachers with proper teaching methods are invited to guide them, their children will "get" high marks or learn better. I only partially agree with the idea. Good teachers are really important. However, the key lies in how we define a "good teacher". The director of the International Admissions Office of MIT once told me that it is the middle school teachers, not the university professors, who have an impact on people's lives. There is an unusual middle school teacher in new york. Five of his students won the Nobel Prize in physics. Obviously, the key to the problem is to find out what kind of teachers can have a significant impact on a generation of students. In school, teachers with different teaching styles can also cultivate students with high scores-one kind of teachers adopt high-pressure teaching methods, which will inevitably stifle children's interest in learning; Another kind of teacher will stimulate children's enthusiasm for knowledge and let them stay with them for life. Let me give two positive and negative examples to let parents think about what kind of teachers their children need. "High score" Kane's educational achievements in a key middle school. His head teacher enjoys a high reputation among schools and parents, and is an expert in "scoring high marks". Teachers' teaching methods can be described as unique, including scolding, humiliation and intimidation, making students obedient, studying hard and getting high marks in exams. In order to supervise Kane's study, she even asked Kane's classmates for nearly an hour, in order to find out whether Kane had a good impression on a girl in the class. In order to let the children concentrate on their studies, the class teacher tried to cut off the ignorant romantic feelings among teenagers. The head teacher should spare one day after school every week for the students to listen to him in the classroom. Most of the content is that students have not performed well recently and need to be improved. The total score of the class has always been among the best in the whole school, and the students' test scores are also good. However, almost every student is afraid of her, hates her and doesn't like the English subjects she teaches. Students recite words and texts endlessly, for nothing but getting a hundred points in the exam. In such a boring cycle, students lose interest in English. English learning has become an annoying last resort. Tired, the students don't want to speak English or learn English. These students have actually died at the starting line, because their interest in learning English has died. I once asked a physics professor at Peking University what happened to the students who won the gold medal in the international Olympic physics competition. To my surprise, none of these gold medal winners continued to study physics, but switched to other fields. Endless exercises and exercises have made students tired of physics subjects. Even excellent students are not interested in continuing their research. This makes me question the effectiveness of these competitions. What effect do we expect to achieve through these competitions? Interesting study A few years ago, I invited a Chinese teacher, Miss Gao, to my son Kai 'an. Chinese is not Kai 'an's mother tongue, because he has spoken English with us at home since childhood, so his Chinese performance is far behind that of his classmates in the same grade. He needs tutoring to catch up with other students. This teacher Gao is deeply loved by the students. He is over half a year old, looks amiable and loves children very much. Miss Gao always praises the children and often gives An Kai a small stove. Although An Kai's Chinese test scores are far below the class average, Mr. Gao still makes An Kai feel that he is making continuous progress in Chinese, which gives An Kai confidence in mastering Chinese. An Kai never compares himself with other students in the class, because Miss Gao never cares about the performance of other students. Miss Gao asked An Kai to study at her own pace. She makes An Kai feel that Chinese is both interesting and simple. Soon, Chinese became Kaian's favorite subject, and he believed that he could learn it well. In the second year, An Kai's Chinese performance was still lower than the class average. However, Kaian's interest and confidence in learning Chinese have not declined at all. This year, An Kai's performance has caught up with or even started to surpass it. An Kai's composition performance began to rise, and remained at the top of the class. Besides, An Kai prefers reading Chinese books to English books. An Kai is proud of his literacy, and he is sure that Chinese is his strong point. I really appreciate Miss Gao, because her teaching has made An Kai like Chinese learning. More importantly, An Kai is looking forward to Miss Gao's weekly visit, because she likes her and likes to stay with her. Kai 'an hopes that his Chinese performance will be excellent and he will continue to be praised by his teachers. My other son, Kevin, was a freshman last year and began to learn calculus. In the exam, he got five points-the highest score on a five-point scale. At first glance, you may think he is really nice. But it's not surprising when you know that all the students in their class get five points in calculus. (This is a standard AP exam, which is managed by the organization that organizes the American College Entrance Examination (SATs). Not only that, Kevin and his classmates got full marks in calculus in the last class. Knowing this situation, Kevin's grades became even more insignificant. Why can they achieve such impressive results? The reason lies in the teacher, Mr. Garber. Teacher Gerber makes students feel that calculus is simple and interesting, and everyone can master it easily, even students with poor math scores are no exception. Some girls who used to hate math subjects decided to choose math as their future research direction after listening to several lectures given by Mr. Gerber. Every student likes Mr. Gerber, and photos of him and the students are plastered all over the classroom. Students study hard, master the knowledge of calculus, and want to have excellent performance, because they like Mr. Gerber. This also reminds me of my favorite chemistry subject in middle school. I made excellent achievements in chemistry. I did research in the field of chemistry for a municipal science fair, so I won two awards in this field. I owe all this to my chemistry teacher, Dr. Turnbull. She tirelessly guided me, encouraged me, and made me believe that girls can also excel in chemistry. I really like Miss Turnbull. I always want to spend more time with her. I always find Mr. Turnbull in my spare time, ask her questions about chemistry, and want to learn more outside the classroom. Even after I graduated from high school, Mr Turnbull will still write to encourage me. As for me, I visit her every time I come home from MIT. Early Education Center Some schools in our city are famous for cultivating students with high scores. However, I think the type of students trained is more important than the score itself. Is the classroom full of vitality and curiosity, is the student willing to take the initiative to learn, or is the student extremely nervous, worried that he will not do well in the exam and will not meet the teacher's expectations? As a parent, are you willing to help your child find his favorite teacher? If you are a teacher, are you willing to really stimulate children's interest in learning? Different choices will produce different results-students' interest and confidence in the subject will either be maintained forever or disappear forever. These effects will run through a child's life.
