Chapter 7 Rules of the Game
We still go to the hotel every weekend to get together, every weekend approaches, we will seem a little excited and impatient, the intense and tedious week of work is finally over, we finally ushered in the weekend, we can relax freely, have a lazy and comfortable weekend.
Our wine glasses are full of wine, each laughing and joking, one glass is drunk, and when the second glass of wine is drunk, we begin to tell each other about the unhappy things we encounter at work, or the things that happen in society that make us unhappy, maybe a phenomenon, maybe a major event at home and abroad, we seem to be very worried about the country and the people, and everyone is expressing their different opinions. But each of us will never mention our sad past, will never take off our bloody scars to show others, our own pain should be left to ourselves in the dead of night to taste and heal slowly, even if we spend a lifetime of time can not heal the pain, we will never bring it to the wine table to share with everyone.
We talked about the unfairness of all kinds of rules and regulations for our weak, we were indignant and expressed our opinions, at that time I didn't understand the ugliness of human nature, and I was always so naïve to think that all human beings should be equal, but now I have been going through so many years of crawling and rolling, I finally know that we may really be a little mentally retarded at the beginning.
The reason why the strong formulate these rules of the game is that he wants to use this institutionalized thing to defend and obtain his own interests, while we are weak and take it seriously. Because we don't need these rules of the game to make a whole bunch of them; And what we urgently need to solve is either extremely bad for us, or the bar is too high for you to feel out of reach. In the end, we realized that these rules of the game were tailor-made for the strong themselves, and it was none of our business for the weak, and our grievances and shouts made us look as if we were begging.
Just like the issue of teacher titles I mentioned earlier, the meaning of this policy formulation is good, but when it is implemented at the first level, it has changed its taste. At the beginning of the implementation of teacher title evaluation, those principals always intentionally or unintentionally understated that the title evaluation and salary are not linked to each other, so that we can teach and work with peace of mind. However, after a few years, when the job title began to be linked to the personal salary, we found that the leaders who said these things to us casually at the beginning had already rated themselves as senior titles in the first batch.
We feel teased, we can only work hard, and the goal is to try to catch up. But when we are desperately trying to catch up, people have introduced an ironic title name of "Xiaojiao Gao", which means senior teacher among senior teachers in primary schools, which is equivalent to the title of grandfather's grandfather. There is still some hope for us as a senior teacher, but this title of "small teaching high" is beyond the reach of our low-level teachers.
Because all the resources that need to be rated with such a title are controlled by the leadership. First of all, we need a certificate of excellence and evaluation with high gold content, and these indicators of evaluation with high gold content have been cut off by these leaders behind their backs. The most infuriating, funny and helpless thing is that a small leader in charge of teaching and research work in our bureau actually reported materials in the name of our school, and used our school as his work unit to steal beams and pillars, and won the highest honor of teachers in our small place, "Provincial Outstanding Educator". Chinese-style kindness is "nothing to do with oneself, hang high", "the wicked have their own evil plans", "harm others and benefit themselves", never fool around things that do not concern themselves, always like to use "the wicked have their own evil people's schemes" such a negative wisdom and self-protection rules to laugh at themselves, and never do things that harm others and are not beneficial to themselves.
With a variety of certificates of merit with high gold content, the next step is to have a published paper. The paper written by a primary school teacher really shouldn't belong to the category of papers, at best it is just a summary of the teacher's experience in education and teaching, but the publication of such so-called papers is also controlled by the leadership. The leader uses the power in his hands to decide which publishing house to subscribe to the educational journal and the specific number of subscriptions, and the publishing house will let the leader publish a few small articles in such public educational journals according to the subscription situation of the educational journal of the school, which is called public published papers. And when the teachers at the bottom are full of confidence and hope to submit their painstaking papers to publicly available educational journals, I guess these editors may not be able to dismantle them, and just throw them into the wastebasket. Because the limited space has to be reserved for the leaders of the various universities and universities who decide how many journals they want to subscribe to in the coming year, where can you squeeze out blank pages to arrange your paper?
At that time, in addition to the fact that these elementary school principals could easily publish so-called papers in published educational journals, they were also keen to write books and make a fortune. They worked hard to list some words out and piece together a so-called book, which has no literary artistry, and no profound ideological connotation, they bought the book number and printed it into a book, and then each of them knew how to use the power in their hands to distribute dozens of hundreds of books to each other without discount, and tacitly agreed with each other that you publish a book, I will buy it, I will buy a book, of course, it is the public funds of the unit, so they spend money to publish the book, not only do not worry about sales, but also can make a small profit. Since the day they were moved into the school library, no one has even opened the bundles of wrapping paper, so if you have the ability, you can put your books in the bookcase of Xinhua Bookstore and see if anyone buys them!
The key is that sometimes, some elementary school principals are not low-key enough, and with the opportunity to go abroad for exchange and study, they go to the "empire on which the sun never sets" for a few days, and when they come back, they write a book about this country, as if they have become experts and scholars who study the history of the country, but they do not know that about the historical development and current situation of this country, even those experts and scholars who specialize in historical research need to spend their whole lives, and in the end they still leave many unsolved mysteries. He is not writing a book and publishing a book, but just the pride and display of a small prince in a small world.
There is also a leader who has not drunk a few cups of tea, and even called himself 'Lu Yu', and made a report at the all-teacher meeting, saying that he is being a inheritor and researcher of tea culture, so high-profile, it really frightened those young teachers who did not know how to compete, it was really funny and ridiculous.
The formulation of the rules of the game, in addition to the hardware, also needs to tailor some necessary software systems for the winners of these special interests, that is, gray interpersonal relationships. These leaders will use school education and teaching as an excuse, and then invite several key people in the city bureau related to their professional title evaluation to come to the school to make some academic reports to the teachers, and the individual leaders of these city bureaus are also well aware and tireless, and in the face of the respect of all the teachers in the school, they talk eloquently on the stage, all of which are some of the opinions of others that they have copied, plus their own unique views made up. When leaving, it is inevitable to stay in the hotel to serve, and then take a labor fee, a local product and other expensive gifts to return.
In this way, the maker of the rules of the game eventually becomes the biggest beneficiary of the rules of the game.
