The "bad habits" of young Go teachers

5. Don’t be modest.

Many teachers and principals have reported that today’s young people are not “humbly” at all.

In fact, because times have changed, the concept of humility will also change. In the past, the so-called humility meant unconditional obedience to seniors and elders, even if what they said was simply wrong. This so-called modesty is simply hypocrisy and has turned into a stale, sour article.

Today’s young people are very outspoken because social pressure is very high. What they want is practical information. What they want is real things. Therefore, they will respect what is right nakedly. In a sense, this is quite consistent with what the ancients said: "There is no noble or humble, no growth or youth. Where the Tao exists, the teacher exists."

From this perspective, many teachers should Let’s reflect on this: Maybe it’s not necessarily that young teachers are not modest, but that we ourselves are too arrogant and can’t even accept questions.

6. Talk about practical things.

The training of young teachers must be informative and must speak concisely.

This is the shortcoming of many teachers and principals: what they talk about is all "old sesame seeds and rotten millet", and they talk back and forth in "cart wheels". This is annoying enough, but the content is often unrealistic, and at the highest level it is just chicken soup. Today's young people are often very mature and sophisticated. They can distinguish right from wrong. Of course, chicken soup slogans alone cannot win their respect. The purpose of everyone getting together is to make money, and we talk about business, not feelings.

For example, some teachers insist on making a bunch of opening remarks like a routine, talking about the significance and greatness of Go education. However, these things have nothing to do with our work. For example, the captain repeatedly emphasized the need for professional ethics when talking about the significance of Go training. And the biggest principle is: "Everyone is equal before money." Those who spend money are all customers, and you must not disdain whether your children are smart or stupid. You must provide good service. This is the professional ethics of Go training.

If we insist on saying that we have selfless love for our children and selfless dedication to the cause of Go, then if you have the ability, you can do it for free. Not to mention the young teacher, the captain would not listen and would get goosebumps. So this kind of old routine should be avoided.

7. "Not practical".

Many principals believe that today's young people are "unreliable". Then the captain will make an objective analysis. The so-called lack of practicality of young people means that he cannot see the hope and development space in the future.

Many old teachers and principals grew up decades ago. By today’s standards, society at that time was leisurely and slow. It is very likely that a thing will not change in ten or twenty years, and it will take a person a lifetime to find a job. In this environment, you can be very leisurely, calm and down-to-earth.

In the current social environment, every five years is a generation, and a listed company can be born in a few years. With this kind of rhythm and intensity, how is it possible to ask others to be calm and "steady" in a leisurely manner?

Moreover, many teachers and principals are already middle-aged and have a family, a job, and no worries about food and drink. Looking at the problem with the mentality of someone who has been through it, it is true that everything is just like a passing cloud.

However, have you ever considered the survival competition and social pressure that young people face? They have many wishes and ideals to realize. Buying a car, buying a house, starting a family and starting a business are basically "rigid needs". Is it possible to ask them to work as slowly and step by step as they did back then, one step at a time, "down to earth"? It was too late to run, let alone walk.

Therefore, the captain understands the mentality of young people who are competitive and strive to make progress. In fact, this is a kind of motivation that can be exploited. On the other hand, young people who are too "down-to-earth" have no pursuits and no motivation. Being sophisticated and greasy at a young age is not necessarily a good thing.

So regarding the issue of "steadiness" among young people, the captain advises: understand the pulse of the social era and think from others' perspective. A man who cannot be full does not know that a hungry man is hungry

8. Cannot endure hardship.

Many teachers report that young people cannot endure hardship and are very disapproving of this captaincy. Because the captain is also a person who cannot "endure hardship".

First of all, we need to understand whether young people really cannot endure hardship? not necessarily! In fact, modern young people work harder than the older generation, but the form of hardship is different. When the older generation talks about hardship, it is nothing more than how poor and humble their lives were when they were young. Looking at the current material conditions from this perspective, it is true that young people cannot endure hardship. But looking at it from another perspective, is it necessary to endure such hardship?

Now that you have a washing machine, do you still have to use a washboard to be considered diligent? Now that you have a lighter, do you have to drill wood to make fire? If you don’t take the subway, is it frugal to save two dollars and walk? Many things belong to the development of civilization. If you have to look at the world with old eyes, everyone cannot endure hardship! If you don’t believe me, push the era back to 100 years ago. At that time, even if you were an emperor, you didn’t have a mobile phone to play with! If an emperor could be resurrected and traveled a hundred years, would he also recall the hardships and sweetness of today's people with sincere words: "It was hard when I was young, and I didn't even have a mobile phone."

Therefore, the issue of suffering cannot be viewed in isolation from the era. Every era has its own hardships. Today's young people leave their hometowns at a young age to work hard in big cities. They have dozens of interviews a month, move several times a year, and commute for more than 2 hours in big cities every day. Even finding a house feels like an adventure. Let me ask you a question, if young people are suffering now, can you, the older generation, bear it?

9. Reluctance to work hard

? The so-called hard work is actually just another term for enduring hardship.

When the older generation talks about hard work, it is actually another way of saying hardship. And it often has three characteristics:

1. To work hard, we must start from the grassroots level. No matter what kind of talents a person has or what level he or she is at. I can't wait to come. First I have to bring tea and water, sweep the floor, cook, and clean the toilet.

2. When working hard, you must start from the least technical work. Just like the new recruits in the military camp must first learn how to stand in a military posture and kick forward, and start by stacking tofu cubes, even though it is of no use.

3. Work hard and do a lot of simple work repeatedly until you get bored. If you don’t bother, it’s not enough effort!

In fact, this is completely the apprentice mentality of the last century. When the apprentice comes, he will first serve the master and make cows and horses, and then I will reward you with a bite of food. How can we still have this kind of thinking when running a business now? The result of this is that talents will be missed. Some people say that this kind of "effort" is a kind of exercise. In fact, this is unnecessary. It is more likely to be an imbalance of mentality.

It’s just because I suffered a lot when I was young and I don’t like the young people today, so for the sake of “fairness”, I let each of them go through the same hardships that my young people have suffered. . . .

10. Mentality.

Why should we recruit young teachers? Just to keep up with the times and keep pace with the times.

Then the question arises, should you adapt to the times, or should you hold back and let the times adapt to you? Obviously, the latter is impossible. So who represents the times? Who represents the future? Naturally young people. And don’t forget the goal of our training, both children and parents are young people.

Therefore, don’t always stubbornly think that I am the principal. You must conform to my thinking and you must adapt to me. In fact, it is wrong, in the tide of modern social development. Young people are the trendsetters, we are the laggards. When dealing with young people, you must keep a young heart and try your best to adapt and feel this era. We should use the backward to adapt to the advanced, not the other way around.

If there is no such awareness, there is no such mentality. They always look at young people with a so-called "management" perspective, so the captain has no choice but to say: You can't recruit young teachers.

Just put your mind down and put down your airs. Treat young people as valuable assets rather than as a source of trouble. It is not that difficult to do these things, so when recruiting young teachers, you must learn to think from others' perspective.

The final summary of the captain:

The young ladies are all the same, and the interesting old principals are the cream of the crop
