Excellent teachers are nobody's business.

I often see some documents of schools or education management departments, which always emphasize "strengthening management". It seems that the original management is not enough, so there are not enough excellent teachers, and there are not enough teachers who resign and change careers.

? Managers think that further "strengthening management" will lead to more "excellent teachers" and better education, but they ignore a common sense: the greatest welfare of teachers is actually "freedom", and improving treatment is only one aspect. Many young teachers leave their jobs not because of low wages or overwork, but because of low freedom, inner unhappiness, mental depression and frustrated dignity.

? Education needs management, but are excellent teachers managed?

? Trees can't be planted in flowerpots, and eagles can't fly out of cages. This is common sense.

? Excellent teachers are the product of free growth, which is of course related to their excellent qualifications. They love education, love life, love the podium, understand the value and significance of existence, and their lives are self-help. Their inner energy is not due to external cultivation and management, nor is it due to the temptation of external titles, interests and honors. In the current depressing educational situation, their limited existence is hope

? Excellence is the result of self-education and self-growth, not only a habit, but also a manifestation of inner awakening.

? As a manager, in order to really let teachers do their best to teach and educate people, we must first trust teachers and give them some freedom in education and teaching, instead of strengthening "management".

?

? I remember the last words of Zhao Dan, a performing artist: "If you manage it too concretely, there is no hope for literature and art.". In fact, we can also borrow this sentence from the current education: if you manage it too concretely, there is no hope for education.

? Trust should be an important ability of managers, and trust is also an important capital of schools. Parents trust the school to hand over their children to the school, and trust in the school is basically trust in the strength of teachers, not trust in control. Although scientific and reasonable management is also essential, the essence of management is service, management, not management. Many things have been straightened out, and rigid and simple "management" is unnecessary.

? Nowadays, the meticulous management of all kinds of distrustful teachers is often a sharp weapon to hurt teachers (teachers don't need examples to know). Of course, you are dissatisfied with the teacher, you need professional training and you need to improve your thinking. That's another problem, because every teacher has a process of self-growth and self-improvement, and awakening needs an opportunity, which can't be done overnight, let alone strengthening management.

? Japanese scholar Fukuyama believes that trust is a very important social capital. A society lacking trust from top to bottom is a society with high operating cost and low efficiency, and a dangerous society lacking perseverance. Back to education, if we don't trust teachers and strengthen control, teachers will naturally dilute or even give up their responsibilities, because without rights, there is no responsibility. This kind of school is also a high-cost and low-efficiency school, and it is an inevitable result to lag behind others.

From the standpoint of Taoism, it can be said that without the intervention of management, the "nature" of the whole education will be released, and teachers' autonomy, sense of responsibility and enthusiasm will be born-if TA is still a qualified teacher-to borrow Lao Tzu's words, "I have nothing to do but learn by myself, I am quiet and self-correcting, and I have no desire to learn by myself."

Why do countries based on freedom tend to be rich and strong? Why do teachers love the school more, love students more and are more willing to do things actively in those schools with greater freedom? Why do children who grow up in a free environment have more promise, more understanding of rules and more sense of responsibility?

? Because freedom is based on trust in people, it gives people the right to think and choose, and it is the easiest to stimulate people's creativity. If managers don't trust people and teachers, they will naturally set various rules to "strengthen management". The so-called "people-oriented" is actually "rights-oriented", because people are not abstract people, but concrete people. No matter how loud the slogan is, it is just a slogan that fools people. Controlling talents is fundamental.

Unfree education is naturally based on contempt and distrust of educators, and everyone is instrumentalized. How to do education well? The more we control and strengthen management, the worse education will be, because these are not education, and they all violate the principles of "nature" and human nature. The more we pay close attention to management, the more problems will be brought, because culture is not managed, but self-generated. The most important thing for a school is its culture, which is the same as a big body. If culture is broken, neither morality nor legal system can fundamentally solve the problem, because culture is rooted in people's hearts.

? On the other hand, the more teachers "manage", the more disgusted they are, the stronger the non-institutional resistance, and the greater the possibility that they will eventually be unable to cope or give up their responsibilities. Although most teachers will not fight fiercely for survival, they still have the ability to transfer pressure. The students are the last to bear the pressure, and some students with serious rebellious psychology have a tragedy. On September14th, 2065438, senior three of Linchuan No.2 Middle School,1Oct12nd, senior three of Yuanjiang No.3 Middle School in Yiyang, Hunan Province, an excellent head teacher was killed, which was the result of "strengthening management" for students. Haven't there been enough tragedies like this?

? Popper believes that it is difficult for a totalitarian society to undergo fundamental changes unless it is self-destructive or sunk by external forces. This society can only carry out sporadic social projects, not a package of changes. It is difficult to define whether China is a totalitarian society, but the high concentration of power is obvious to all. Decades of market economy has not brought open society, independence of rule of law and social justice in mature market economy. On the contrary, there are more and more problems, and social discontent is further accumulated, especially with education, environment and the rule of law. People are increasingly worried that more and more people have the conditions to emigrate, but more people can't leave.

? In this case, the government's observation and rationality are particularly important, but it is unrealistic to expect that all problems can be solved under the command of the government.

? In fact, most of the forces that really change the world start with individuals and start with specific small things. Laozi said: "The tree you hold is born at the end. The nine-story platform is tired of soil. " Qian Liqun said, "Think big and do small things." When it comes to education, it is not only impossible, but also more problematic to expect the higher education department to order the reform of the current situation of education. It is unrealistic for teachers not to think independently, emancipate their minds, put into every bit of action, abandon the "evil of mediocrity" and resist anti-education behavior, but only to compromise with reality, but hope that education can get better. The reform of education in China needs a top-down overall design and a bottom-up social individualized effort. No one is an island, no one can stay out of it, and everyone can be a force for change.

?

In my opinion, the slight change of education is the real power to change reality, and it is a "quiet revolution". However, a slight change is first of all a breakthrough in mind and values. Only the breakthrough of ideas and values can lay the foundation for the breakthrough of the system.

? Generally speaking, authoritarian system is not based on cultural and historical reality, but on people's thoughts and ideas. What kind of system will design what kind of spiritual structure and values.

? Fukuzawa Yukichi, the soul of the Japanese nation, said that if a nation wants to rise, it must change in three aspects: the first is the change of people's heart, the second is the change of political system, and the third is the change of utensils and economy. The order of these three aspects should be thought first, then political system, and finally economy. Reversing this order is a shortcut on the surface, but it won't work in the end.

? People who are eager for quick success and instant benefit take another road, from big to small.

? The current situation is that although there are more and more problems, the people still believe in the government, believe in policies and count on the government. In this case, the system reform of high-rise design is the key, and changing people's thoughts and concepts is also a kind of compulsion, but it is impossible to change people's thoughts without changing the system, especially in atheistic countries lacking religious and spiritual traditions.

? Speaking of education, the education reform in recent years, mainly under the leadership of the administration, has not given people many rights, and the evaluation system is still exam-oriented education. There are more and more natural problems in such reforms.

Over the years, I have contacted many primary school principals. They are also full of grievances. They have no power at the top and do not move at the bottom, but they don't want to talk about it. They just called the teacher "lazy" and irresponsible, as if the school belonged to the principal. But is the teacher's laziness caused by the teacher or by excessive management and administration? Need to reflect.

It is ridiculous to think that teachers' management is not meticulous and strict enough to cause so many educational problems, just like students committing suicide and then setting up barbed wire everywhere to solve the problems. In the simplest sense, the key to the quality of fish lies in water, not in the dense fishing nets; The beauty of crops does not depend on intensive cultivation. "I believe that farmers can farm and teachers can teach." It is not empty talk, but should be put into practice to loosen the teacher. Mr. Zhu Qingshi, former president of South University of Science and Technology, said that the truth of education is often in the hands of ordinary teachers, not principals.

? At present, the arrogance of power lies not only in ignorance of education and freedom, but also in enriching oneself by strengthening control and devouring freedom, which is getting farther and farther away from real education.

? This is what makes people speechless and worried.
