Then she was reported as "illegal paid teaching", and the school and relevant departments wanted her to suspend classes.
She found it unacceptable: "I didn't teach as a tutor, and the class was open, which didn't take up school resources or affect my work."
At present, there are no laws and regulations explicitly prohibiting teachers from giving lectures online. What is the difference between giving lectures on the online classroom platform and writing a column for a magazine to get the manuscript fee? In the end, she chose to drop out of school.
(Yangzi Evening News) This phenomenon is typical.
In the eyes of many people, teachers and doctors earn more, which means there is a problem.
Because everyone is used to the income level of such a profession.
Because teachers and doctors themselves are not completely market-oriented occupations, the relationship between supply and demand here has been concealed, and good doctors and teachers as a whole have not yet obtained higher pricing.
Think about jobs that were once regarded as graduates of low-end technical schools, such as operating CNC machine tools and some welders. And now the income is actually very high.
It is because of the large demand and few people that natural prices go up.
If we strictly follow the relationship between supply and demand of good doctors and good teachers, their income should already be very high. It is precisely because of social fairness and universal service that it is not particularly high, not because it should be, but because many people don't realize it.
Historical reasons make people form cognitive inertia, so teachers should not be high-paying occupations.
However, why is business more profitable than teaching students? In a sense, teaching students is also a business, creating value through their own skills and exchanging equally.
It is unreasonable that people can accept that a businessman earns a lot of money, but they can't accept that an excellent teacher earns a lot of money.
Some people will say that teachers seek their own personal interests. Practically speaking, which profession is not seeking its own "personal interests"? Why be generous.
Stars can make a lot of money in a performance. Today, people have taken it for granted that a teacher can earn a lot of money in one lecture, and a lot of cynicism will come out.
In fact, in any industry, the income of outstanding people and ordinary people should be different, or even very different.
This will encourage more people to develop in this profession, and people engaged in this profession will also be able to develop to a higher level.
If a good teacher can make money like a businessman, it will drive more people to become good teachers.
It is not a simple matter to really do a good job in teaching. Knowledge is different from teaching, and teaching research itself is the key and difficult point.
The example of the Chinese teacher at the beginning of the news, she can earn more money by giving lectures online, so that more students can hear quality courses, not just a few students in a public middle school classroom. This is a very good thing and creates positive value.
She earns money and has many resources, so she can improve her teaching better and have a virtuous circle.
Others see that making money in this way has the motivation to become a better teacher. This is the benchmark.
For students, her classes are very small compared with the huge cost of choosing a school (money may not be available).
This is actually a certain degree of crowdfunding.
I remember that in high school, I often rented some excellent teachers' teaching CDs to watch, which was really helpful.
I am also an off-campus tutor of the university and I am familiar with some university teachers.
In fact, everyone has life pressure, undertaking various scientific research projects and so on.
This kind of pressure is not just food and clothing. More money can make their families have more lives, and they can even afford some interesting research, such as the study of teaching itself.
However, people often ignore why good teachers can't make money directly through better teaching itself.
Today's university education still has a lot of room for reform in this respect.
Knowledge and teaching are not exactly the same.
The same knowledge is written in books. Why do we need teachers, and teachers can still make money? Because it is difficult to absorb knowledge, and the teacher eliminates this difficulty in a more acceptable way.
Many people think that knowledge is already available, and the marginal cost is very low, so it is worthless, but they don't know that what is really valuable is the process of letting you absorb this knowledge, avoid detours and improve efficiency.
This is a bit like a crop, why the land may be very cheap, but it is expensive at the table.
It is valuable in itself to let the crops reach your table smoothly.
If you go directly to the field, you will get the cheapest, but it means paying more extra expenses, such as travel and gasoline.
The same is true of the acquisition of knowledge. Self-study is possible, but it requires higher understanding and learning ability, and it may take more time. A good teacher helped you optimize this process. -By the way, I gave Zhihu a lot of advice from the product point of view.
I think knowing the live broadcast should not be a tool for fans to realize, but a platform for teaching and learning.
To some extent, it should be more extensive online education.
Teachers can emerge from all walks of life and make people learn more efficiently.
Knowledge is still that kind of knowledge, and the teaching process is very important.
The value of Live lies not in how much new knowledge it provides, but in optimizing the process of acquiring knowledge and skills.
This means that from the product point of view, we should continue to support more efficient teaching and learning, make good content that can really help people stand out, and provide a good platform for all walks of life to move all kinds of "classroom" content online.
In the short term, all kinds of live broadcasts are indeed mixed, which requires long-term precipitation, perfect evaluation system, short-term temptation and control of stunt content.
After the big waves, there will eventually be more and more high-quality content, which should make money, and in turn invest more resources, manpower and material resources to improve the content.
It makes people realize that doing a good job in teaching can make money, just like independent developers used to develop apps to play games.
A good live broadcast is also an App that carries high-quality content to some extent.
With benchmarking, more investment and more returns can get better and better.
In the long run, I am optimistic about the live broadcast mode. Of course, the product itself also needs constant iteration and improvement.
Perhaps many years later, looking back, China's social learning atmosphere, the improvement of learning level and skills are all related to today's efforts.
Some people say that teachers have limited energy, and doing these jobs will affect their work and so on.
I would like to ask, do you usually have some entertainment activities, such as playing cards and mahjong? If an excellent teacher only spends your time playing cards and mahjong in online open classes, will it really affect your work? There used to be a joke: A: Do you smoke? B: Yes.
A: How many packs a day? B: Three guarantees.
How much is it per pack? B: 10。
How long have you been smoking? B: 15。
A: So you have spent 10800 pounds on smoking every year over the years.
B: Correct.
A: 1 year 10800. Excluding money, you spent a total of 162000 on smoking in the past 15 years, right? B: Hmm.
Do you know that?/You know what? If you don't smoke, put your money in a savings account with high interest rate and calculate it according to compound interest.
You can buy a Ferrari now.
Do you smoke? A: No.
How's your Ferrari? This example is in good contrast with the finite energy theory.
(Our friend Dai Zong said, "My Ferrari is downstairs! Some people say that teachers will deliberately talk less in class to attract business for themselves.
At the beginning of the news, the teacher's online students came from all over the country, with hundreds at a time. Is it necessary to bring students from your own class to listen? Really good teachers are often in demand.
Teachers who try their best to drag students to cram schools are often not good teachers.
The end result is that in the school where the teacher used to teach, students could have heard good courses at low cost, but now they can't.
What should really be stopped is interest-related tutoring.
A good teacher with high income will encourage them to teach better and keep their reputation.
In the future, why can't a good teacher earn millions a year? This kind of income sounds exaggerated to teachers, but can you understand the high income of performing stars?
