Why are some teachers with very low qualifications still able to be teachers?

I don’t know if the questioner is talking about a teacher like me. When I was about to graduate from high school, I dropped out of school because of illness. I stopped going to school and became a private teacher. Ten years later, I was admitted to a normal school and became a full-time teacher. After graduating from the normal school, I taught in a junior high school and completed a junior college degree through correspondence courses. My current diploma is a junior college degree.

I am now teaching in a rural middle school, a senior Chinese teacher (deputy senior professional title), and have been teaching experimental classes for many years. I know that I do not have any cultural level or teaching level, but I can only be recognized and respected by the school and students.

Many of the teachers who came here like me have retired, and I still hold the heaviest teaching responsibility on the front line. If it weren't for the current chaos in teaching, I would still want to continue teaching for a few more years, because I like teaching now!

For teachers like me who became regular teachers through private education, there is indeed a big gap between their education level and teaching level. Some only have primary school education, but through connections they obtained a junior high school diploma and a teacher's education diploma through correspondence courses. After becoming a full-time employee, their salary is not low. These teachers are much criticized people and many people say that they don’t look like teachers.

But teachers like this have already or will enter history. Today’s young teachers all have at least a college diploma, and their starting point is much higher than ours back then. Unfortunately, having a diploma does not mean having ability. There are still some teachers who do not act like teachers and do not dare to compliment them in class. Probably, teaching is an art, and not everyone can take good classes!

When I was about to end this article, I suddenly thought of one of my teachers who is respected by everyone. This teacher dropped out of school after reaching the second grade of junior high school and became a private teacher. Later, he taught until the third grade of junior high school. He taught Chinese, mathematics, and physics in the third grade of junior high school by himself (there was an extreme shortage of teachers in those days). The test scores of the students he taught were Very good, many of them got jobs later! This old teacher is respected by the whole town and has a great reputation!

Speaking of this, I want to say that among old teachers, especially among old teachers in rural areas, due to the situation back then, there are indeed some teachers with very low educational levels. Just don’t generalize!

In the early days, teachers were a relatively scarce profession, so the recruitment requirements for teachers were very relaxed at that time. As long as you had attended junior high school and were willing to work in the education industry, then You can go directly to work and teach without any screening.

Take the primary school I attended as an example. At that time, there were generally fewer educated people, so it was very difficult for a rural school to recruit teachers to teach. So out of helplessness, the school had to recruit teachers from some junior high school graduates without any requirements. Secondly, if there are people with a certain education in the village, they can also participate in the education industry.

Regarding the question mentioned by the questioner, I think it has a lot to do with the quality of the university itself. For example: For some second- and third-rate schools, because the quality of the school is not good, when recruiting, they have to lower their profile to cater to the interviewers. As a result, it is very likely that people with low quality will be recruited to become teachers.

For teachers, strong abilities and good teaching skills are two abilities. There will be such a phenomenon in life. A teacher is very capable, but he just can't teach students with good grades. Why is this? Some teachers have their own unique way of understanding the knowledge they have learned. We cannot say that his method is incorrect, but that he cannot impart this knowledge to students completely and clearly, so his performance will give students a This impression is that the teacher's level is very low.

Recruitment is a complex task. No matter how diligent the recruiter is, there will inevitably be things that slip through the net.

Examining a teacher's ability depends on many factors. Due to time constraints, recruiters often find it difficult to conduct a comprehensive and detailed inspection of a person. Instead, they mainly examine the most critical abilities, such as teaching ability and communication ability. Wait, and it can be said that the character examination is almost never involved, so some candidates who do not meet the requirements will be included in the teacher team.

Finally: There are specific reasons and practical reasons for recruiting unqualified teachers. This is inevitable, but I believe that as long as we strictly select the screening mechanism, we will produce a good team of teachers.

Many of my colleagues around me only care about giving gifts and flattering to find relationships. The purpose is very clear, to get a promotion. Like me, I would rather get the right person and don’t like this.

I graduated from the key normal school of Yunnan Normal University and taught junior high school physics. When others were busy with family affairs, I just liked to quietly review high school mathematics, physics, English, etc. After all, I am a teacher in high school and I am a teacher. True to form!

The saddest sentence is that as long as you study hard when you are a child, your grades will definitely improve. No matter how hard you work when you grow up, it will be helpless! Facing the dark professional title system, people with a personality like mine cannot see the beauty of spring!

From 1978 to 1993, the recruitment of teachers was very chaotic. In my memory, there were still a group of "fathers retired and sons replaced them" in our local area, which I thought was ridiculous at the time. Extremely, the job of a teacher is very technical, how can a son inherit his father's career? These descendants who are unable to take up teaching jobs have not received any training. Many school leaders are unwilling to accept them. Out of favor, they have arranged for them to be gatekeepers, boiler burners, bell ringers, and cooks... and now they have survived until retirement. At that time, quite a few powerful people in the county committee and county government placed their children in the education system through various connections. If you investigate deeply and carefully, you will find that many low-level teachers have connections and backgrounds!

This problem exists in our school. I think it is caused by historical reasons.

1. Directly transfer a batch of private teachers. In the 1980s, it turned out that most rural teachers were private teachers. Private teachers had no academic qualifications and some were just junior high school graduates. At that time, there were many students and few public teachers. In order to take care of some private teachers, the Teacher State directly transferred a group of private teachers with excellent ethics and love for education to public teachers. In this way, teachers with low academic qualifications, who are willing to endure hardship and love education come in.

2. Children of teachers will be directly transferred to one batch. There is also a shortage of teachers. It turns out that in order to take care of the employment of teachers' children, the education department arranges for teachers' children to go to secondary normal schools for so-called further training, and then directly arrange them to teach in schools and become public teachers.

These teachers with low academic qualifications have been teaching lower grades in our school for a long time, and they are never assigned to jobs above the fourth grade. They have been teaching lower grades for a long time and are very careful and patient. They have accumulated a lot of experience. They really make parents like them and put the school at ease!

Those who graduate from high school, junior high school, or primary school can still teach well in high school, junior high school, or primary school without going to a normal school, teachers' college, or secondary school teacher without formal training; many university graduates are not assigned to universities. (or stay in school) to become a teacher?

So I still want to say that the provincial high schools back then were no less than the local teachers’ colleges, and I can even say that the universities and technical secondary schools were even better than the teachers’ colleges!

When I graduated from the former provincial high school technical secondary school, I had actually reached the junior college level; compared with undergraduates in the same major, the professional courses I studied were almost the same, but there were fewer theoretical courses; the technical secondary school students issued diploma. Soon after, college diplomas were issued uniformly.

The question you raised has different opinions and wisdom. I only answer from one side: being a teacher is about teaching and educating people. It does not matter if you have low academic qualifications or low education level (of course, you cannot teach junior high school students after graduating from primary school). The key is to explore and summarize teaching experience. Grasp and control the unspoken rules (regularities) of the exam. Teaching well is not as good as testing well.

Example 1: There used to be a purely private teacher in my village. He taught Chinese to the fifth grade graduating class for many years and ranked first in the commune almost every year. However, in 1978, due to the county's downsizing, purely private teachers were dismissed, and he was transferred here a few years later. A new principal was hired again, but no matter how good the teacher was, he could never figure out the final exams and had to be eliminated. Example 2: In our village, several teachers in our county who have ranked first in the college entrance examination in the city for 20 years have only junior college degrees. Instead, teachers with higher education and less teaching experience have higher passing rates in the college entrance examination.

The level of teachers does vary, both in terms of overall personal quality and professional ability. In our opinion, the words and deeds of some teachers harm the overall image of the teaching team, and we feel that they are not worthy of being a teacher at all. But they can stay in the ranks of teachers without incident. I think there are two situations for people who are still teachers with low standards:

One is that I have no interest in being a teacher at all, but There is no other skill that can make a living, so I can only live among the teachers. If you are not interested, you will naturally not be enthusiastic, and you will certainly not have too high requirements for yourself in terms of professional level and ability. You will just be a monk beating the clock every day and just muddle along. This kind of passive attitude towards teaching makes people think that his level is low and that he is unsatisfactory as a teacher.

The other is that the level is really low. Although I went to college and learned all the educational knowledge, my personal abilities were limited and could not be improved. There once was a male teacher in high school. He wore glasses and looked very polite. The first impression he gave was that of a standard teacher. But the level of teaching is obvious as soon as he teaches, which is really not flattering. Although it is not enough to say that he studied according to the book, it is almost the same.

There are industry elites in all walks of life, as well as people who are dawdling, and even scum, and the teaching industry is no exception. However, since the audience of teachers is students, everyone pays more attention to this industry and the requirements are more stringent. Any disturbance can easily be magnified infinitely, affecting the glorious image of teachers in people's minds.

Today’s teachers have to go through layers of selection before they can enter the profession. In the past, there were no such regulations, so there was a mix of good and bad, and there were some teachers who misled students. However, as time goes by, these teachers who entered the teaching force through informal channels gradually retire, and the teacher entry system becomes more and more strict and perfect. I believe that the overall quality of the teaching force will become higher and higher.

The question of the question fully explains the problems that are occurring in my country's education sector now. Why are rural schools built so cheaply and now they are all empty and they have gone to urban schools to study.

Below I use what I know about a junior high school teacher near me who was awarded the title of senior teacher. This fully illustrates that some teachers have very low educational levels. Not only can they be teachers, they can even become teachers. He is still a senior teacher, a teacher who receives a very generous monthly salary from the state.

He was originally just a student with a primary school education. Through human relations, he first entered the private teacher establishment in our village, and then through personnel relations, he became a formal teacher in the state establishment. A few years later, he became a regular teacher in the state. Through human relations, I joined a junior high school and was awarded the title of senior teacher a few years ago through human relations. I would like to ask if Genju, with his own cultural knowledge, can teach junior high school students well? Is he qualified to be a qualified teacher? Not to mention senior teachers. How many teachers like this are there across the country? Who knows, only geniuses know. Will parents of such a teacher let their children learn from him? This is the real reason why rural schools are now so empty and empty with no students. In fact, it is these teachers who have ruined rural education.
