What is the special meaning of the word "teacher"

Teachers are a profession, which can give me a material basis for independent survival. A qualified teacher should be able to roam the ocean of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign cultures, pick the essence and brew honey-like spiritual nutrition, which requires me to have a free spirit and an independent personality. In this sense, I gained self-reliance. Since I joined the teaching staff, I have been thinking deeply about the inner meaning of the word "people's teacher". At the same time, in the actual teaching life, strive to achieve this common and special title. It is not difficult to be a teacher, and it is difficult to be a teacher that the people are satisfied with. Confucius said, "If you want to stand, you can stand." To be a teacher is to irrigate students' minds with the cultural knowledge and survival wisdom created by all mankind, so that they can realize the formation of human nature while accepting cultural inheritance, and realize the inheritance of civilization flame in the process of establishing people. When my students and I stand up and become capital figures, our society will naturally move forward. Reading the painting "Life with Love as the Background" by President Li Lie made me more clear about the significance and value of being a teacher. Perhaps my doubts, frustrations and hesitations no longer exist. I want to say to myself confidently and firmly: "Nothing is better than being a teacher!" "

Do I love the subject I teach, study hard, and create something in this subject, or at least have original opinions? Do I instruct students to delve into the problems they are interested in, even if these problems are not within my own discipline? Do we guide them to love knowledge itself, experience the spiritual pleasure and mental development brought by reading, thinking and writing, and the resulting sense of accomplishment, instead of blindly asking them to pursue the "by-product" of knowledge-grades? Did I give students enough reference materials to study and study on their own, instead of being keen on playing the role of "erudite" or "savior"? Should I introduce them to the vast knowledge world outside books and give them full freedom to learn what they are interested in, even if their test scores drop, instead of limiting students' thinking to "subjects" or even "textbooks"? I don't think I have done enough, and I haven't done well enough, but I do deeply realize that as a teacher and a class teacher, I should give more to my students, even though they may be young and ignorant.

Being a "people's teacher" requires not only solid knowledge of educational theory, but also good moral character and style. The people need teachers who can really serve the people, and the people need teachers who can really educate the people. This was the case in the past, now and in the future.

In short, to be a good teacher and a teacher who is satisfied with the people, we need to start from ourselves and develop good qualities from teachers themselves to satisfy students, parents, society and people! I put myself into four principles as a teacher, that is, openness, tolerance, respect and knowledge.
