Although teachers should be respected, teachers need to be respectful also.
Sunday, October 25th, 2009On October 20th, in Yunan Shuanglong Center Primary School, three first grade kids were punished by making them take off all their clothes and stand in front of the whole class, because they didn’t bring their own clean tools to clean the classroom as the teacher requested. After it happened, these three kids are very depressed and afraid to go to school. Although the teacher had apologize to the students and their parents, it was not enough for them to forgive her.
On October 23th, the Bureau of Education withdrew her qualification as a teacher. She can not teach in any school or participate in any teaching activity form now on. The Bureau of Education also requested her to go to the students’ home and apologize. The schoolmaster went to apologize to the students as well, and arranged a new teacher for this class. The class finally went back to normal.
The teacher plays a significant role in the society. The quality of the teacher determines the quality of education. A quality education determines the future of the nation. Teachers have such a great duty of cultivating and teaching students, therefore, they should first set up good moral examples. What this teacher has done gives extremely bad impact to the students. Even when students made mistakes, their dignity should be respected.
