Advice from an old head teacher: Teachers with foresight are a little ruthless

There is a sentence in \”The Little Prince\” that goes like this: \”Cherish those who are good to you, they might not have done so.\” On the road of education, teachers are such people. You know, the teacher is the only person in the world who has no blood relationship with you and wishes you well. Many times, teachers are strict not because they are harsh, but because they love their students. Children, although you may not understand the severity of your teachers now, in the future you will definitely be grateful to the teachers who were strict with you in those years. 01 The biggest scam in educating children is to release children’s nature. We often hear the saying “let children release their nature and grow freely”. However, true education is not simply laissez-faire, but guidance and shaping. Releasing children\’s nature often only allows children to indulge in short-term happiness and neglect planning and efforts for the future. Education requires a certain degree of freedom and guidance, so that children can not only enjoy the happiness of childhood but also lay a solid foundation for the future on the right path. Mr. Zeng Guofan once said this: If you are reluctant to let your child endure hardship, don\’t blame him for his incompetence. It\’s like keeping a young eagle in a warm nest and not letting it face the baptism of wind and rain. You may think that you are giving it the deepest care, but you are actually depriving it of the opportunity to fly into the sky. If the young eagle has not experienced the hardships of wind and rain, how can it develop its tough wings and meet the challenges of the future? Education is not something that happens overnight. It requires the patience and persistence of teachers, as well as the cooperation and support of parents. Only when families and schools work together can we create a better environment for children to grow and make them more stable and confident in their future. 02 If the teacher is not \”cruel\”, a lot of education is useless! It has been a month since school started, and I often see children complaining about their strict teachers. But without hard work, how can we make progress and how can we talk about growth? The teacher\’s \”strictness\” is not ruthless, but necessary strictness and requirements in the education process. When children make mistakes, teachers need to point them out promptly and guide them to correct them, so that they understand the seriousness of their mistakes and learn to take responsibility. Although this kind of education process is short and painful, it can make children more determined and confident on the road to growth. On the contrary, if the teacher is too tolerant and laissez-faire, the child is likely to go further and further down the wrong path, or even lose his way. This will not only fail to help children grow, but will also cause them to face more setbacks and difficulties in their future lives. Education is like sowing, it must not be false at all. It requires sincere hard work, not false perfunctory. 03 A strict teacher will make a good disciple. If the teacher doesn\’t care about you, it will be your greatest misfortune! As the saying goes: A strict teacher will make a good disciple. It\’s like sharpening a sword. The teacher is the craftsman holding a hammer, beating and sharpening you again and again, so that you gradually become sharper and tougher in the wind and rain. Every stroke is carving and shaping you, allowing you to gradually show your unique light as you grow. Children, cherish those teachers who have strict requirements on you! They are your mentors and helpful friends on the road to growth, and their strict discipline will be your motivation to move forward. Remember this sentence: A strict teacher produces a good disciple, and a childSon, it is your greatest misfortune that the teacher does not care! The road to growth has always been about \”coexistence of scenery and dangerous peaks\”; those teachers who have foresight and truly want their children to do well are a little ruthless! 04 The teacher who controls you the most loves you the deepest! They say: A child is like an unedged knife. At first, it is just a simple piece of iron blank, uncarved and lacking in brilliance. However, it is this unsharpened blade that contains endless possibilities and potential. On the road to growth, children need to go through repeated hardships. These trials may be learning challenges, difficulties in life, or tests of interpersonal relationships. Every sharpening is like beating and polishing the blade, allowing children to learn perseverance in setbacks and bravery in difficulties. In this world, apart from parents, the person who wants their children to become talented most is the teacher. My child, I hope you can understand that the teacher who controls you the most is often the one who loves you the deepest. 05Written at the end: Education is never an easy task. During this process, teachers may appear stern, harsh, and even a little \”unfeeling.\” But please believe that this is all for your better growth. Children, please cherish those teachers who really care for you. Their strict requirements and persistence will be the most precious wealth in your life. I hope that every teacher can get the respect and understanding they deserve, and that every child can thrive on the road of education.
