Chapter 11 Discussion on Adjusting the Age Structure of School Leadership

Huanting Middle School held a forum for all teachers and teachers for several consecutive evenings, and this evening will focus on discussing the issue of adjusting the age structure of the school's leadership and teachers. The meeting was still presided over by Principal Yang Zeping, who spoke first and then Xie Ruiyun began to speak after the report on "On the Adjustment of the Age Level Structure of School Leadership Teachers".

Xie Ruiyun said: "There are always some teachers in our school who think that the teachers in the leadership of our school are not very reasonable in terms of allocation, and the age structure of the teachers in the leadership is too bloated and aging. I want to explain this problem specifically, first of all, the school is not bloated in our leadership staffing, at present, our school has a total of 41 teachers, 27 teachers outside the establishment, a total of 13 school management leaders, compared with the corresponding Peach Tree Lane Middle School in our county, the management head is less than three people, the average age of the head of our school management is 43.5 years old, 2.1 years higher than Peach Tree Lane Middle School, although this aspect is a little older, but it is also within a reasonable range, It does not exceed the above requirements for a younger management. Personally, I think that the leadership team of our school is outstanding, the ideological character is in line with the requirements, can be brave to take responsibility, strict self-discipline, or the pioneer model in the school, therefore, the school is in a hurry to implement this aspect of the reform, is it too hasty, I personally think should be cautious, slow? ”

Feng Mingda, the head teacher of the third class of junior high school and the head of the school's teaching team, said: "In fact, some teachers pointed out that the school's teaching staff needs to be continuously strengthened, and the school management needs to inject fresh blood. I think that the teachers who put forward such suggestions must have good intentions and the general direction is also very correct, but I personally believe that no matter what problems we look at, we must combine them with the actual situation in the school, and we need to analyze specific problems in detail, rather than just shouting slogans and relying on momentary passion, and make a one-sided and hasty conclusion on this. Dear teachers, teachers are the foundation of the school and the driving force to ensure the overall healthy operation of the school, and the school is inseparable from the joint participation and efforts of all our teachers. Personally, I think that a school should not just talk about reform at every turn, just take those old teachers, it needs to be coordinated, it needs to be demonstrated, and it also needs time to prove the correctness of this change? It is necessary to be cautious to blindly make the teaching staff younger and more age-leveled. Teachers, can anyone tell me that as a people's teacher, in the face of the future education of the motherland, it is the young teachers who can bring a school a spring breeze, improve the quality of teaching, and have a remarkable effect, and cultivate more useful talents or the role of old teachers? This will take time to verify. Discussing these issues will not solve the central ideological problems of the school for a while. ”

Zhang Xiuyu, a veteran teacher, said, I also want to talk about my personal opinion, of course, it may not be right. Just now, Principal Yang proposed that the reform will start with the younger leadership of the school, and gradually bring the school leadership to the younger standard. I think that in view of the actual situation of the university, this is a process of "pulling out the seedlings and helping them grow", and it seems that the disadvantages outweigh the benefits. Why do I say this? First of all, I use the analogy of the school as a ship sailing in the sea, and there is no doubt that in order to make the ship operate from the perspective of safety, or to reach its destination more smoothly, we first need to consider the performance attributes of the ship itself and the meteorological information on the sea. However, these two basic knowledge alone may not be enough, and the captain also needs to make a specific analysis in combination with the changing sea conditions and the rapidly changing sea conditions. The calmness and improvisation of the helmsman are even more important, which require the long-term experience of the helmsman and the correct use of nautical knowledge, especially this adaptability is very important. Teaching talent is not an overnight thing, it is a long-term process, and it requires the joint efforts of countless generations of teachers to complete the mission. Do I think the teaching experience of a veteran teacher is more influential and convincing? Of course, I personally do not advocate that a school always abides by the rules, stubbornly does not change, and does not need to input fresh blood into the teaching team, but needs to use energy to standardize teaching. The valuable teaching experience of veteran teachers is a great asset to the school, so is it necessary to persevere? ”

Teacher Xu Guangshan said: "If I want my personal opinion, I still tend to keep the original structure unchanged, no matter from which point of view, our school is not big, not small. The school management has formed an ecological model for so many years, and it is precisely this ecological model that maintains the good order of the school, why should we break it now? It's not that I'm stubborn. I think that this kind of ecosystem has safeguarded the overall interests of the school very well, and their contribution to the school is obvious to all, and once such a good order is broken, then who can tell me that in the future, who will be able to protect this interest again? Who can guarantee the 'long-term peace and stability' of the school? If no one can guarantee it, then the so-called change will not be successful. ”

Teacher Wang Qing also said: "The first element of our school needs to be reformed, I think it is still to solve the problem of teachers' treatment, if every teacher can not even solve the minimum treatment problem, or can not meet the minimum requirements, people's hearts will be unstable, people's hearts are unstable, any promises are empty words, I do not approve of the leadership is too young, so to deal with problems and contradictions will lead to lack of experience and cause the situation of prevarication." At that time, it is still us ordinary teachers who are suffering, and when the time comes, there will be no way to complain, who will we go to seek justice? Don't blame me for being stubborn, I just want to think about the big question of whether we will be able to live in the future. ”

Chen Limin said: "My personal opinion is that social practice needs to be constantly innovated, and the school is the cornerstone of social practice. Therefore, the school is not only a cradle for cultivating talents, but also a far-sighted goal that must have a century-long plan. In this cradle, the decisive role is not in how complete the infrastructure is, but in the purity and efficiency of our teaching team, in the talent to do their best, on the premise that people are the decisive factor, teachers are not only the soul engineers who cultivate talents in all aspects, but also the most diligent workers and service providers on campus. The trend of social development tells us that in order to develop and progress, we must change, we need to absorb new nutrients, and our understanding is constantly updated. In the end, then, it is our own students who suffer. Therefore, it is a long way to go for young people to stand up and take on heavy responsibilities, even if these young people take some detours, it is an inevitable experience in the process of their growth, there is nothing to blame, but should continue to encourage them to go on bravely until they come out of a healthy road. Only in this way can there be hope for society, and only then can the people climb to the top, and in turn, can we benefit our future generations. It is fundamental to let children truly become useful talents in social practice. ”

Teacher Liu Dongshi said: "Although I am a veteran teacher with 30 years of teaching experience, I personally think that my own knowledge base is not solid enough, I am only a private teacher, not in the establishment. I also want to talk about some things about myself, starting with my name, I think you must have put a long question mark on my name in your heart, right? Why did my parents give me such a name? Isn't that a very ironic name? Actually, I didn't realize the importance of a name to me until I went to school, and I always found it interesting. ”

"The problem is that my parents are illiterate, and when I was born in the hospital, some people said that I was born white and pure, and I must be a great beauty in the future, more than Shih Tzu. My parents were very happy to hear this, so they were ready to name me Liu Xishi, a joke from the midwife, and my father believed it. The doctor said, if you name your child Xi Shi, I think it is very inappropriate, if you want your child to have more development prospects and unique popularity, you listen to my advice, just give her a name Dong Shi. You must not know that the ancient Dong Shi was more beautiful and more learned than the Xi Shi.

My father said that everyone knows that Xi Shi is one of the four beauties of ancient times, but who is Dong Shi, I really haven't heard of it? The female doctor continued to tease him, "You haven't heard of it, it's because you don't have much culture, let me ask you, do you know an idiom called Dong Shi Xiaofeng?" Why is it called the East Shi Xiao Feng and not the Xi Shi Xiao Feng? And why are we used to calling things? And what about how rarely it is called Xidong? Let me tell you, the east always goes ahead of the west, you just need to know that the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west, and you don't need me to explain it, right? ”

So, my parents indiscriminately named me Dongshi. It wasn't until I was teased by my teachers and classmates at school that I resented my parents for being too ignorant, which was the result of being uneducated, and my father stubbornly thought that my name was very nice and resolutely refused to let me change my name. Now, through my own experience, I am in favour of reforms to involve younger, more knowledgeable and open-minded teachers in leadership and management. In this way, the school will be more challenging, the school will be more dynamic, the dynamic school will have hope and future, our children can really learn more cultural knowledge, and we as teachers will feel extremely happy and proud.

Yu Liangliang saw that no one spoke for a while, so he raised his hand and said, "I'll also talk about some of my personal thoughts." For many years, I have felt that the experience of veteran teachers is the most valuable asset of the school. But now, I'm going to lower the temperature for this, and there is no doubt that the trend of education development is definitely going in the direction of younger people. Whether it is the old generation, the old teachers or the young peers, they all have this experience. I am in favor of incorporating some fresh blood into the leadership of the school, but I myself am not very happy for people like me to participate in the selection of the leadership team, because I am not qualified enough, second, I am not progressive, and third, my thinking is still very conservative, and my thinking is out of touch with the age structure. ”

Yu Liangliang's speech caused a burst of laughter, and Principal Yang Zeping also criticized with a smile: "Although Teacher Yu said it very bluntly, it is also the truth, but I have to criticize Teacher Yu for this, you can't be lazy about the school's career, you are so young and very capable, you can compete to be a good leader." ”

Gong Jie also raised her hand to speak: "I have the least qualifications among all the teachers in the school, and I know that I don't have the status to speak for myself at all, but since the school has 'opened up the way to speak', then I also want to talk about some of my personal immature views."

I myself am also in favor of the younger leadership of the school, not that I am a young teacher, I want to say such things, to pave the way for myself, to create opportunities, no. I admit that all of the teachers here are far more experienced than I am, and as such, I am not in a position to judge any of you. But I personally think that since I have chosen the profession of being a teacher of the people, I should serve my students well and educate them well. I don't have any teaching experience at all, but I definitely need to learn from my seniors and listen carefully to your valuable opinions, which is very necessary for my teaching progress. I'm glad about that, and that's all I have to say. ”

At this moment, some young teachers are in favor of the younger leadership of the school, saying that this is in line with the social situation at that time, and it is the desire of the people. For this reason, Director Xie Ruiyun has nothing to say, there is a trend that has quietly formed in the school in this big discussion, that is, a new young force is impacting their position.
