Chapter 44: A Model for Others
"Feng Yuming's suicide incident continues to ferment, the media is hyped up, TV stations, newspapers, online platforms and other platforms are vying to report, and the people are talking about it. This morning, the Municipal Education Commission also notified me to go to a meeting and ordered that the matter should be strictly investigated, and that our school should give an explanation to the higher leaders and the parents of the students. Principal Cui and Chen Haoming sat facing each other in a café. Principal Cui frowned, he took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat like beans on his forehead, and let out a sigh, "Haoming, I'm very helpless, as the principal, I don't have the face to face the parents of the children, and I have also lived up to the trust of the superior leaders in me." ”
"Teacher, don't say that." Chen Haoming comforted: "Life is impermanent, and the world is unpredictable. A lot of tragedies are inevitable, and you don't have to blame yourself. ”
"Shuguang Primary School is a key school in the city, both in terms of teachers and teaching quality, it is the best in the city. Every in-service teacher in the school is hired after the school's multi-faceted consideration and screening. The so-called 'learn to be a teacher, act as a model for the world'. All words and deeds of teachers are role models for students. Therefore, teachers' ideological and political quality and professional ethics have become the key to determining their teaching level. Our school attaches great importance to this. Now the school has been greatly affected by this incident, and the outside world is paying attention to us. Teacher Hu Meili is the head teacher of the third class, and she really did not do a good job in this matter. If the student does not complete the homework, the teacher should educate the student reasonably, but unfortunately her behavior may be a little excessive. You know, today's parents are very doting on their children, pampering their children, and some even don't know what is right and wrong. If teachers don't discipline children and correct children's mistakes in a timely manner, then how can we talk about education? Principal Cui sighed and continued: "Teacher Hu Meili has always been conscientious and conscientious in her work, strict with herself, lenient with others, and is recognized as a good teacher by the school. It's just that she has just gone through the divorce procedures recently, and she is affected by her love life, which causes her to be stressed and irritable. As her leader, I have the responsibility to channel her emotions well, and it was I who failed to fulfill my responsibilities that caused the catastrophe. There may be something wrong with her approach, but the intention is good. If she can't be a teacher anymore because of this, it will be tantamount to ruining her career and ruining her future, which is unfair to her. You can't completely deny her as a person just because she did something wrong......" Principal Cui blamed himself very much, and his eyes were ruddy as he spoke.
Chen Haoming listened carefully and nodded in agreement from time to time.
Principal Cui said in a heavy tone: "Now, the parents of the students are putting the responsibility on the school, and I can understand it. However, as the head of a school, I have a responsibility to protect the reputation of the school and the reputation of Mr. Hu. Haoming, our school doesn't want to avoid problems, nor does it want to avoid responsibility, but just wants to minimize the harm in all aspects, can you understand me? ”
Chen Haoming stared at Principal Cui, "Teacher, I can understand. The suicide of primary school students is a comprehensive social problem, and today's children are pampered and arrogant on the surface, but in fact they are extremely fragile inside, and it is the responsibility of the school, the family, and even the whole society to improve the children's ability to resist frustration. ”
"Yes, yes, you're right, today's children are not good at education." Principal Cui said helplessly.
"So, I suggest settling privately." Chen Haoming proposed.
"Reconciliation?" Principal Cui looked puzzled.
"If both sides go to court, whether the lawsuit is won or lost, it will have a serious impact on the reputation of the school."
"But can the child's parents ......?" President Choi expressed concern.
Chen Haoming said confidently: "I will talk to the other party's lawyer, try not to go to court, and strive to settle privately." Giving parents a clear attitude is the key to solving the problem. Only in this way can the school and Teacher Hu mitigate the damage. ”
"Okay, Haoming, I'll leave this matter to you, I thank you on behalf of the school and Teacher Hu." Principal Cui shook Chen Haoming's hand with some excitement.
"Teacher, you're welcome. You are my initiation teacher, I remember when I first went to school, I was stupid, I couldn't do very simple math problems, it was the teacher who took the trouble to teach me this stupid student over and over again. You also taught me a lot of good learning methods and the principles of life, and I have never forgotten your education and help to me. Chen Haoming said with emotion.
"You were smart and clever when you were a child, and I knew you would grow up to be promising. Now you are a well-known barrister in the city, and you are proud to be a teacher. Principal Cui's eyes turned red again.
"Teacher, don't worry, I don't want to thank you for my kindness since ancient times, for you and the school, I will definitely do my best and will not let you down." Chen Haoming said solemnly.
Principal Cui breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile.
