I didn’t give a gift on Teachers’ Day, so the teacher asked me to make it up the next day.

That’s how flower prices are driven up. Send it!

Interesting. ---Let the child deliver it, but explain to them that it is out of courtesy, and they can choose not to do so.

It’s the child who is supposed to deliver it, but the child knows that it’s the teacher’s requirement. It has nothing to do with courtesy.

What else can we do? The teacher has already said it.

Back then, our teachers at R set a good example as educators, and we held them in great respect. During class reunions, the teachers are always mentioned, and the feelings expressed about them from those days are truly sincere. It’s been over thirty years; the teachers from back then can still tell us which class we were in, who was serious about studying and who was misbehaving... But these days, how many students, after leaving school, still remember their teachers? How many teachers can remember their students? Teachers and students have become passersby in life, turning into objects of monetary exchange...

To put it simply, teachers work to earn a salary in order to support themselves； I hope students perform well in their exams, as this demonstrates their own abilities; the school will also pay attention to this, linking it to promotions and bonuses. I remember that at that time, the homeroom teachers of the graduating class all competed fiercely to get those positions. Those who perform well in the class stay, while those who don’t are replaced. And there are extra rewards too.

It’s fine if the child knows it was the teacher who asked for it, but he needs to understand that it is a form of demanding, which goes against the principles of proper behavior. I learned from all my teachers in elementary and middle school (all of them were temporary teachers who later became permanent staff; they have all retired for many years, with two of them having passed away) that what is remembered most vividly and firmly in their minds are knowledge and students’ names. It’s not easy for so many students to remember all of it. Sometimes I can’t think of the name right away, but the teacher can recall it immediately. They said: It has been many years since I left school, and it brings the greatest satisfaction as a teacher to meet someone who calls me teacher. Back then, teachers had only dedication and perseverance, with no expectations of anything in return.

In those days, the real intention was to teach and educate people; these days, it’s different. . . Most teachers are good, but a few are outrageous.

This is about training children from a young age to give gifts...

Giving gifts is purely voluntary, right? Anyway, it doesn’t cost much, so I just go with the flow.
