In fact, this sentence deserves our deep thought.

"Is your math taught by the PE teacher?"

Surprisingly, "is your math taught by a PE teacher?" Which sentence appeared in the TV series "ipartment" turned out to be a buzzword, a metaphor that embarrassed the PE teacher but made us laugh at "illiteracy" helplessly. Enter "Is your math taught by the PE teacher?" On Baidu. Words, can find nearly 20 million pieces of relevant information, is really in distress situation, helpless.

In fact, there is not only ridicule and discrimination against physical education teachers behind this sentence (that is, developed limbs and simple mind), but also reflects the real situation of rural primary education in China. For example, in February 14 and 19, Du Wen News reported: "Part-time classes in Longwan No.1 Primary School make teachers" unable to hold on ""Is your physical education class taught by a Chinese teacher? "The Chinese teacher at the school spoke: It really is." Is your Chinese class taught by the PE teacher? "This slightly playful online buzzword showed a realistic reversal in a primary school in Longwan a few days ago." Physical education class must be taught twice a week. I'm actually a Chinese teacher. Okay! "Chen Hong (pseudonym) has been a Chinese teacher in a primary school in Longwan District for more than three years. Not long ago, she was suddenly told that she needed to "part-time" to have two physical education class sessions a week.

The characteristics of rural primary schools in China are small scale and few teachers, but there are many courses in all grades. Therefore, "part-time teachers" is a very common phenomenon in rural primary schools. I once went to the countryside to listen to a music class in a rural primary school. Which teacher explained the main idea of the lyrics first, which was excellent. But when I taught the students to sing, I was exposed. I can't play the piano, and my voice is trembling out of tune. When I asked after class, it turned out that a Chinese teacher was teaching music part-time. Most of the technical secondary school graduates who used to study physical education were part-time teachers of mathematics, Chinese and English, and few of them were full-time teachers of physical education. "Your math is taught by the PE teacher" is a very common fact in rural primary schools in China.

There is a strange phenomenon about the objective existence of part-time teachers in rural primary schools, which can reflect the realistic mentality of Chinese people. Parents of students are very concerned about the physical education teachers' teaching of mathematics, and strongly disapprove of it, but they are indifferent to China's teaching of physical education (see Du Wen News February 19). The root of this cognition lies in the traditional idea that the beauty of body sound is insignificant, in parents' misunderstanding of human development, in people's ignorance of the importance of physical development, and in people's prejudice against physical education class and PE teachers. To correct and subvert these concepts requires a long process of economic and social development. Generally speaking, PE teachers can do nothing about it. But from the individual point of view, it is still promising to create a local environment suitable for development by improving the overall quality of individuals and shaping a good individual image.

It is said that the Ministry of Education intends to start a plan to train ordinary teachers in rural primary schools. If put into practice, in a few years, there will be teachers who can teach all primary school courses in rural primary schools in China. At that time, not only your math is taught by the PE teacher, but also your Chinese, music, art and labor skills are taught by the same teacher, and this teacher is likely to be a PE teacher at the same time. I am your PE teacher, and I also teach you math and Chinese. When this sentence appeared in the classroom of a primary school in rural China, "Did your math teacher teach you?" Will change its meaning.

In fact, personally, physical education teachers can teach other courses well. I have met some PE teachers. They teach not only physical education, but also other classes. They are also class teachers and are very popular with students. Of course, this case does not represent the whole story. On the whole, physical education teachers do not have the professional level and ability to teach mathematics well. But physical education teachers don't have to worry, worry or even get angry about this ridicule. How many teachers can teach many subjects above middle school at the same time? How many people can a math teacher teach, physical education class? "Did your math teacher teach you movements?" Isn't it a joke to tease the math teacher? What's more, don't we laugh at ourselves: "PE teachers only know eight numbers" (shout from 1 to eight when doing exercises, and then shout again). "There is a sequence of knowledge, and there is specialization in skills". In today's society, where this industry is increasingly subdivided, who dares to be brave outside his own major? Even from a professional point of view, so many professional English teachers have taught dumb English for so many years. Let the math teacher teach an action and ask the Chinese teacher the reason of "anaerobic metabolism". It is estimated that nine times out of ten it will be a joke. However, if the PE teacher can't teach a certain movement well and doesn't know the reason of anaerobic metabolism, it's no wonder that others regard you as the object of ridicule.
