What are the disadvantages of China's traditional school management thought?

The traditional school management thought in China has important historical value and practical significance, but it also has some obvious disadvantages.

1. Value the rule of man over the rule of law

Traditionally, China's school management thought is people-oriented and is a typical people-oriented management. However, while attaching importance to people, the spirit of rule of law is relatively weak. Although there was legalist management thought in history, it did not occupy a dominant position in management for a long time. Therefore, China's management tradition has always lacked strict thoughts and behaviors of the rule of law, which obviously does not adapt to the development trend of modern management.

2. Pay more attention to strategy than specification.

Western management thought lies in the continuous formation of stable and reliable management norms, which must be strictly followed once formed and cannot be different from person to person. Although our country's management thought is flexible, it often leads to randomness, which makes it difficult to form clear and strict norms, and often changes with officials or has no rules to follow, thus making management appear loose and chaotic.

3. Pay more attention to fuzziness than accuracy

Fuzzy thinking is the traditional thinking of China people, which has certain rationality and value and profoundly affects the school management thought and practice. When people investigate or analyze problems, they are usually used to being satisfied with vague language such as "probably", "basically" and "generally speaking", and even rely on some vague judgments when making decisions, lacking quantitative analysis. This is not conducive to the scientific management of schools, because the basic requirements of science are "quantification" and "accuracy", which are the strengths of western management thoughts.

4. Pay more attention to investment than benefit

In essence, China's traditional management thought of "management skills" has strong social utility. In order to achieve the purpose of management, rulers of past dynasties have invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and at the same time spent a lot of energy in the process of coordinating interpersonal relationships. However, the improvement of management efficiency is often neglected, and the lack of effective means and tools makes school management get the maximum output with the least input, which greatly hinders the improvement of school management level.

5. Pay more attention to sex than personality

Because of the traditional "learning in the official" in China, modern schools are run directly by the state, and education management is subordinate to administrative management as a whole. Even the management of schools is mainly administrative management, that is, schools are mainly managed by administrative means, not by educational ideas. On the one hand, it is easy to cause the rigidity and rigidity of school management in the system and specific operation process; On the other hand, it is also more important, which leads to the long-term emphasis on * * * and the neglect of individuality in school management in China, that is, while emphasizing that school management is subject to unified administrative management, it often ignores the individuality of school management, and even suppresses individuality, which hinders the emergence of new school management ideas full of individuality and vitality. This is not conducive to the full play of the initiative and creativity of managers.
