A Dream for a Better World

On November 1, 2009, China World Hotel embraced the 2009 International Boarding School Fair in Beijing. Hundreds and thousands of parents attended with their teenage kids. Although Beijing welcomed it’s first snow of 2009 on the day, the hall with the fair going on was extremely hot with too much crowd as well as too much enthusiasm from both parts: the parents eager to consult and find their children the “best” schools while the representatives from North American secondary schools trying their best to convince the parents that they are the very one being sought.

The schools were unexceptionally boasting their colorfulness in terms of how many international students they enrolled, and their specialties in arts, sports and many other fields. The parents looked over each stand present, asking the most concerned questions, such as how much the tuition is, how the children are settled in the boarding schools, how their children can be helped and can receive individual attention. But the kids’ eyes full of curiosity and bewilderment, and some with excitement as well, it seemed that they had no exact idea what they were going to experience in the near future to come.

Though some parents in Beijing are well-being enough to pay more 200,000 RMB each year for their kids to study overseas (which is 20 times more than the regular tuition for high school or even university education), the real question behind the parents should be thinking about is whether this really fits their children. After all, they are just 13 to 17 years old. To attend a secondary school and maybe later a university overseas means that the children have to be kept apart from their families for 4 years or even longer. When they are not mentally and physically matured enough, staying in an exotic culture with no parents around may cause some problems in their growing up. In this day and age when it is difficult sometimes for even adults to cope with cultural shock despite their mature cultural cultivation, children will definitely run into similar situations, not to mention that they are not mature yet. The potential sense of isolation, homesickness and loneliness will likely to outweigh all possible gains.

So it is really recommended for the parents to think over and make sure it is the right decision to make before they send their children to a secondary school thousands of miles away. Although education maybe a different case, it is not always a good idea to seek far and wide for what lies close at hand. My tip: stay cool to the rush!

I choose “teachers” to start with, because a classmate of mine is a teacher. She was in the CCTV news this week as a “spicy teacher” because her great personality and the way she gets along with her student.

One of my classmates from the university becomes very famous recently. Her name is Deng Rui. A 24 years old lovely girl who works in a primary school in Chengdu at the moment. She becomes really hot because her great sense of humor in teaching.

Chinese people values teacher a lot. In tradition point of view, study is a very serious issue. Teachers should be erudites and strict, and students should never challenge the teacher.

Well, it has been changing as China has been absorbing western culture since the “Reforming and Open-up policy” has been carried on in 1978. The easy and facetious western culture has rocked the old stiff Chinese world. My generation, the people who were born in 1980’s, was growing up in the new colorful world.

We got to know that teachers are not always right. We’d love to challenge the authority in studying times. We were famous for beyond the control, and we even have been considered as the lost generation by the educationist..

Apparently, we bring the “new world” to the class when we grew up and become a teacher ourselves.

Deng Rui represents the typical characteristic of this generation.

She would sing to the student that “you’re still in my eyes”, when he was afraid to look at her in the eye because he has been found that he was stealthily doing something in the class.

When the student makes a lot of mistakes in the homework, she will tell him that he is not match with his “NIKE” shirt—NIKE’s logo is a “√”. “I will buy you a “Xecp” shirt, whose logo is a “×”, if most your answers are wrong..

When there are students talking in class, she will make a miserable face and tell them:” How can you be so cold-hearted to left me teach the lesson alone? You made my heart broken into pieces.”

……

Children love her because they feel like she is a real person in their life, but not just some kind of saint who never makes mistakes, or tell jokes.. And she will never give students any kind of corporal punishment for their improper behavior.

I am proud of her. Not because the fame she has got, but what she has been doing is something. The girl who were challange the teacher in school now is teacher who is challenge the traditional education method.

Wish her good luck in the future.

Teachers shape the souls of students, so they should shape their own souls in the very beginning. Teachers should not only tell students what to do, but also set themselves an example to students, which is more important than just verbal instruction. So teachers must strengthen their vocational ethics and have good moral characters and noble sentiments.
However, in modern society, there are many teachers having no morality. For example, some teachers may randomly corporeally punish students, wantonly accept and even demand money or goods form students’ families, etc. these phenomena have many causes, such as some bad atmosphere in the society, the loose supervision of schools, the let-up on morality regulation by themselves, etc.Then,how to be a qualified teachers?

Education is the key to the modern sociaty.The extent to which children are educated is importance to improve the national power,because we all know that children are our future,and education decided what they will be several years later.

However,the prevailing traditional way of teaching is so old-fashioned that it is far from satisfying the need of the fast development of modern society.So, “quality education” is a big problem in teaching systerm now.If not solved immediately and properly,this question will slow down the progress of the development of our society.

So,the policy of “quality education”was established in order to train and bring up more qualified graduates with greater ability,and teacher played the very important role to improve the education’s quality.

Teaching can be a stressful job, what with the demands on time that a teacher often faces. A little bit of effort and planning is all that is needed to devise the perfect time management system for teachers though. The first and foremost aspect that a teacher needs to do is to focus on one type of task, since constant multitasking would slow them down considerably. Similarly they should set aside a specific time of the day for a particular type of work. For instance, they could set aside a time when they would deal with electronic messages. Similarly they can allocate a time for discussions with parents and for returning urgent phone calls.

If you were a teacher and only 1% of your classed passed, I’m sure you would be a little worried. No imagine how the parents in Peru feel when the government’s compulsory tests on public teachers were released. Only about 1% passed the criteria of 14/20 out of several thousand teachers! As a teacher in a private school in Lima, it’s no wonder that so many parents try to get their kids in institutions rather than really on the public schooling services. But this makes me worried for the children that can’t afford better schooling. Starting off with such a disadvantage is so heartbreaking, I just hope the government can educate the teachers so they can educate the children.

As a good student we must obey what teacher tell us. Also when we have misunderstanding with teachers, it is better to talk with them than having quarrel with them.Never do some stupid things to against with teachers. Each teacher want us become better so they ask us to work

Learning is the key to everything in this world, and that makes teaching one of the key activities. Unfortunately, as a teacher myself, I find far too many teachers that are more concerned with just “getting the job done” then really working with their students. For those teachers that really work for the benefit for those they teach, nothing makes us feel better than seeing that look on a students face when they suddenly have that “Eureka” moment and truly learn the subject. It’s a hard job that normally goes unappreciated, but knowing that you are helping to educate the next generation of leaders to be better people is enough.

Some teachers are very king in this school. They like to teach us something that we can’t study in the class .    Teachers told  us that our health  are very precious .We can’t study all the time .sometimes we need to  play some activities ourselves or with anyone else. For a instance,one of my friend is ill because studying day after day,therefor we need to notice our health~~!!!!

Now,more and more countries are developing their economical ,some countries cut a lot of trees to use to make something,so the flood are happen usually.The air are never fresh again .The environment become worse and worse .Look!This is today’s earth-our home.So from now on,we should be protected our home ,we can not pollute our home.Let’s do it!

NO one is gonna take the responsiility for your future

Teachers just want you to go to a good university to complete their missions

We have to make decisions for ourselves

Good Luck Yr12

When you consider that the most of the brightest pupils go off to industry to earn money, one has to imagine how strong America would be if those people were enticed to teach!  It is a shame that America falls behind many nations when it comes to pre-University learning.  This is not an opinion.  This is a fact stated in many reputable journals.  We need to be able to encourage strong people to be our teachers for tomorrow’s leaders.
