Teachers' salaries are getting higher and higher, but their enthusiasm for work is declining. The reason behind it is very sad
The country attaches more and more importance to education, and in terms of capital investment alone, it has indeed improved a lot. Take a rural primary school as an example. For a school with several hundred students, the state allocates funds to the school every year for the construction of hardware facilities, with a total investment of several million yuan! The money is mainly used for the school's plastic runways, computers, multimedia classrooms, teaching equipment, office equipment and even flush toilets. From this aspect alone, the investment in education is really great! Teachers' salaries are getting higher and higher, but their motivation to work is declining. Why? The reason behind it is very sad!
Outside the school, the teaching profession has lost its luster. Outstanding college graduates are dismissive of education, especially as there are fewer and fewer male teachers. As society's expectations for education increase year by year. Conflicts between parents and teachers occur from time to time. Being a teacher is too stressful. Unlike other industries, there is still a sense of professional happiness. Being a teacher is a daily challenge. Holding the salary of Weibo, but worrying about the president's heart. Although the investment in education is getting bigger and bigger, it has not been invested in the teachers!
Teachers in the 1980s and 1990s still retained the passion for selfless dedication in the Mao Zedong era, when working overtime was common. It is normal for teachers to take homework and lesson preparation home and go around the clock. Overtime was never paid. Back then it was about offerings, real spring silkworms and candles, if you're talking about that to the teacher now. You are out, and the outside world is already very exciting. We can no longer close the door and let the teacher admire himself. Now the teacher has to face the reality. Empty preaching is meaningless. Salary is the last word.
Although the conditions for running schools need to be improved, the mentality of teachers needs to be changed even more. Who ultimately determines the quality of education? Still a teacher! Building nests may not attract phoenixes, a large number of experimental instruments are idle, and modern teaching equipment is not fully used. What is the reason? To put it bluntly, it is the motivation of teachers. Lack of attention from teachers!
This is the biggest pain point in the hearts of most teachers! The current teacher's title is particularly difficult to obtain, with more and more conditions, and the examination and approval is becoming more and more strict. Many teachers are locked out of the door of the title because they do not meet one or two conditions. If the title is not up, it means that the salary is not high, the income and treatment are not good, and the enthusiasm is naturally not high.
Because the school formalized too much work. Greatly squeezed the time for teachers to study business. How much useless work does the teacher have to do every day? Only the teachers themselves know this. have no choice! have no choice! have no choice!
Without the support of lofty beliefs, it is easy to fall into career burnout, let alone realize the extremely high life realm of self-worth. To sum up, the decline of teachers' work enthusiasm is the result of the superposition of many factors, and it is an inevitable phenomenon in the period of social transformation. This requires the state to increase the investment in education, at the same time, strive to improve the treatment of teachers and improve the happiness index of teachers; do a good job in the top-level design of teachers' career planning, and pay more attention to the growth and life development of teachers.
