The students nowadays do not respect theirteachers as much as the students in the past.
The recent decades have witnessed the drastic improvement in every social aspect by virtue of which students’ comprehensive ability has been greatly improved. Currently, some people advocate that the students nowadays do not esteem teachers the same as students in previous years since now students’ minds are extremely active and they do not follow authority blindly. However, others have opposite ideas. From my perspective, students do respect professors as the students in the past.
To begin with, from the subjective aspect, students’ comprehensive ability is greatly enhanced and the virtue awareness is improved. There is no denying that all schools are propelling the quality-oriented education and they are putting more emphasize on the methods which can cultivate students to have a well round personality. As a result,except for the conventional subjects like maths, science, history, universities are paying more attention to some moral lessons like the Moral Education. Under this policy, students realize that respecting teachers is a virtue which is an indispensable part in the daily life and conflicts with teachers shouldn’t occur in a harmonious school;consequently, they show adequate esteem and complimentto teachers. According to a recent survey conducted by my university, 87.5% teachers agree that “when been responded about certain doubts, students actvery respectfully rather than show any aggressiveness or impoliteness. “ morethan 70% claim that “ even if there is conflict of ideas, students never disapprove the teachers’ ideas in front of them. ” Furthermore, it is the professional knowledge of teachers that enables students to respect them thoroughly. Nowadays there exist lots of methods for teachers to enhance the level of teaching, such as increasing training institutions, more communicational meetings and opportunities to study broad, which I have to say,can definitely improve the professional knowledge and build authority among students.
In addition, from the objective aspect, it is the society influence that enables students to respect teachers. First, no doubt the teachers influence has been drastically enlarged and the payment forteachers has been extremely improved. Nowadays with the mass media, some beneficial publicity is put on the screen. For example, every year there is one of the most significant TV programs called Teachers Touching China which sifts the top ten teachers devoting their love to students without selfish motives. All school students watch the program in classrooms with tears. Under such condition, why students show disrespect to teachers? Second ,with the social culture of analogizing teachers to gardeners, students are highly unlikely to behave disgracefully against teachers, which means an obvious fight against social norms.
Admittedly, some students do not think teachers are indispensable in their lives and they do not follow the authority blindly. However, in my opinion, students can have the choice to be independentand and do not rely on teachers’ help, but they are not supposed to show disrespect to teachers which is a way of exceeding moral line. I used to discussed a topic concerning the reasons of hazy whether in Beijing with my teacher. Although we had different opinions and I thought I had more objective evidence, I still regarded him as a very authoritative teacher.
In a nutshell, students nowadays do show respect to teachers and the tendency will keep. |
