Education is Not A Microphone

In daily teaching, teachers are inevitably caught in an embarrassing way of education, that is, there are many students, but they cannot pay attention to every one of them. Thus, the imbalance in the teaching has led to insignificant teaching results: all the students with good grades are generally the same in terms of their learning methods or status, and those with poor grades have their own problems different from one another.

Nowadays, teaching is no longer the "microphone" to impart knowledge, but a comprehensive stage which shoulders responsibility and obligation to cultivate people and social citizens.

The protagonist on the stage is students, and the way to stand on the stage depends on the ability of students. Teachers should benefit students with all their experience. What is vague in books is not only knowledge but also moral education which is closely related to life.

Receiving education memorizing knowledge points passing the exam. The essence of education is to digest and remember what youve learned and then reflect the knowledge and practice them in life.

The teacher's duty is not only to explain the knowledge in the teaching plan, but also to understand each student's learning habits and personality, and implement the corresponding teaching methods.

That is, to maximize the use of every course and each knowledge point. Also, it is necessary for teachers to prepare courseware, but the courseware only serves as a reference. Only by promoting teaching according to the impromptu interaction and progress of each course,  can the teacher give students the most "comfortable" classroom education.

The ability to keep the curiosity of the unknown world and to explore it is a magical gift that God gives to children. Teachers should let students understand why they need to learn. The meaning behind it is always more influential than the topic itself.

Current education is usually based on facts and does not care much about whether students are interested in the facts. In fact, enthusiasm, curiosity, and awe are the true wealth of students. If we suppress these qualities, it is tantamount to destroying our nature of sensing and closing to life.

Education is ubiquitous. We generally attribute education to teachers, classrooms, and schools in which teachers play a subjective role. However, teachers also play a vital role in affecting the educational ideas of children's parents.

It is necessary to convey positive educational thoughts and ideas to parents so that parents can understand that the education of children is not like drawing on exercise books--they can’t just paint their favorite colors.

"Suiting the remedy to the case" in education is to understand and recognize children's point of interest, to support and encourage them in life, materially and spiritually. Extreme or shallow education will cause negative results.

The key for parents and teachers to educate their children / students is to pay attention to their mind and thoughts, and guide them to a positive direction.
 

Diversity is an indispensable part of happiness. The same is true for education. Teacher’s teaching and student’s learning is essential in education, but it is not all what education is about. The progress of learning should be active and positive. The ways of learning should be diverse, and the content of learning should be all-embracing.
