Why should we carry forward the good fashion of respecting teachers and attaching importance to teaching?

Advocate the good fashion of respecting teachers and attaching importance to teaching for the following reasons:

1. Respecting teachers and valuing Taoism has always been the mainstream thought and traditional culture of China, which can be seen from the standpoint of Confucius. Because it was not easy to acquire knowledge in ancient times, teachers who can impart knowledge certainly deserve everyone's respect.

2. During the Cultural Revolution, the profession of teachers was severely suppressed. In the past, the profession of teachers was highly respected, so the salary was higher than that of ordinary occupations. After the Cultural Revolution began, teachers became the key targets, and a large number of teachers were forced to leave this post. It is hard to imagine that the title of "smelly Laojiu" will be detained on the teacher.

Therefore, when the education system was later restored, giving teachers a holiday was one of the means to re-establish the atmosphere of respecting teachers and attaching importance to teaching.

3. After the reform and opening up, it has become a common practice for the whole country to respect knowledge and attach importance to education, and teachers are more and more respected by the society. The earliest time was in March of 198 1. At the fourth session of the Fifth National Committee of China People's Political Consultative Conference, 17 CPPCC members proposed to establish Teachers' Day.

1At the first meeting of the 6th China People's Political Consultative Conference in March, 983, 10, a number of CPPCC members jointly proposed that "Teachers' Day should be resumed in order to improve teachers' social status and create a social fashion of respecting teachers and attaching importance to teaching". Until 1984, Wang Zikun, president of Beijing Normal University, proposed at his symposium that the activities of respecting teachers and attaching importance to education can be carried out throughout the country every September.

1985 65438+1October 2 1 day, the 9th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 6th NPC passed the State Council's motion on the establishment of Teacher's Day, and decided to designate September 10 as Teacher's Day every year.
