Declining Teacher Ethics

 　　Tell me, what's wrong with teachers these days?

　　　　　　　　 —Foreword

　　Learning to be a person before learning to do things; being a good person before handling affairs—this is a principle everyone understands and should be a lifelong creed.

　　Teacher ethics are the soul of a teacher. With societal development, teacher ethics have declined. Corporal punishment of students is rampant, verbal abuse is commonplace, differential treatment is commonplace, and many fail to serve as role models. Teaching is inherently a sacred and noble profession, yet it has been tainted by the behavior of some teachers. I don't want to elaborate on examples, but I will only discuss three qualities I believe a teacher should possess.

　　First, as a teacher, one should treat every student equally, without discrimination or ranking. In a society built on money, sycophancy is inevitable, and many teachers have not escaped it. They show extra care to students from powerful families, while ignoring those from less privileged backgrounds. Is this the behavior of a teacher? Second,

　　as a teacher, one should respect students. Many teachers, relying on their title, arbitrarily verbally abuse students and take their belongings without permission. Is this the behavior of a teacher?

　　As a teacher, one should be a role model, educating and nurturing students. Teachers are role models for students, and their influence is profound and lasting. If a teacher doesn't understand the principles of interpersonal relationships and the basic responsibilities of being a decent human being, how can one expect them to teach good students? Similarly, students taught by such teachers are dangerous to society, useless to their families and detrimental to the nation.

　　In short, as teachers, we should possess professional ethics and dedicate ourselves to educating and nurturing students without hesitation. First, teach how to be a person, then teach how to do things; the future of the nation depends on teachers' ethics. Teaching by example and setting a good example are crucial and should not be taken lightly.

There's a kind of meeting that feels like a long-awaited encounter.

     When     I first arrived in this city, the weather was a hazy, grayish white. It was already the height of summer, and there was a humid, stifling heat.     At the subway exit, I saw Mo Xiaobei struggling to find me in the crowd. She took my suitcase, then pretended to be incredibly strong, smiling happily at me and revealing her cute little tiger teeth. I followed Mo Xiaobei through several subway stops until we finally arrived at her rented room. The moment I opened the door, it felt like I had entered a disaster zone. Just as I had imagined, her room was a mess. Several pairs of shoes were scattered haphazardly on the floor, and bottles and jars were strewn about on the table, along with leftover food that had been moldy for days. I turned to look at Mo Xiaobei, who scratched her head sheepishly. "I haven't cleaned the house these past few days. Since you're here, could you help me tidy up?" I knew she was always like this, so I shook my head h...

Five-degree slanted characters (Part 2)

  　　Chi Zhoumu played three games of League of Legends in a row. Whenever he encountered a problem he couldn't figure out, he had to shift his focus to prevent himself from being trapped by his chaotic thoughts. After the three games, Chi Zhoumu stared at the computer for a long time, lost in thought. "No, I have to go out for a walk and relax," Chi Zhoumu thought to himself. 　　 　　When Chi Zhoumu went out, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. The streetlights emitted a quiet, dim yellow light, and only a few people were running on the playground. The moonlight was faint, casting overlapping shadows, and the road was deserted. He went to the pavilion, sat down on a bench, and lazily admired the reflection of the library lights on the lake. Two or three couples were scattered on the small island in the lake. "It's hard to find such peace and harmony in the bustling city," he thought. 　　 　　After sitting for about twenty minutes, just as he was ...

Looking up at the starry sky

     The night is deep, and I can't fall asleep alone. I open the window and see the twinkling stars, but are you the brightest one?     I remember the first time I saw you was in my final year of junior high. I stood nervously behind you, watching my classmates register one by one, and my name was left unassigned. Yes. I was timid and cowardly, and because I didn't have the money for tuition, I didn't dare to speak to you. I just stood there, standing there.     Later, you noticed me, smiled slightly, and asked, "Have you registered?" I shook my head. You asked again, "Are you having trouble?" I nodded. "Come with me!" When I took out my blankets from a corner of the school, I saw tears in your eyes; and I couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears. You took the blankets, took my hand, and walked towards the dormitory building.     I've always thought of myself as a stubborn child, someone no one could melt the thick ice in my hea...
