英语教师的理想与情怀：你为什么而教？

 今天是第32个教师节，笔者邀请了各路大咖聊一聊自己的从教感悟, 从中我们可以感受到他们的教育情怀，教育理想，教育信念，教学智慧，执著追求。

 杨君梅（英语教师，知名培训品牌创始人）：老师要是全能的啊，要擅教学，能服务，会招生，懂后勤。

 戴宏邦（英语教育专家，公办小学校长）：
转眼就到了第32个教师节，我已经走完了27年教学历程，我现在感觉逐渐接近一个真正的教育者了，褪去了激情，褪去了功利，褪去了狂妄也退去了卑微，在我的心中却对教育充满了虔诚，教育的真理在于教学实践中，我愿意勤奋耕耘，期冀一个个丰硕的金秋。

凌应强（浙江桐乡市小学英语教研员）：

感悟1：怀揣八斗，超越教材，面向学生。 感悟2：做好课堂教学，提高教学效率，提升学生能力，是教师解放自己的终极法宝。

 王亮（资深英语教师）：

Teaching life is just like a story. In the story, teachers may play many roles like administrators, parents, friends and so on. Teaching is not easy but meaningful.

 毕耀华（某外国语学校外语教研室主任，中考命题专家）：

相对于学生的一杯水而言，老师这一桶水必须是活水，否则在这个日新月异的时代，老师也会很快被淘汰。

 鲁子问（知名教授，课标组专家，貌似不需要我介绍）：

教育是人类自我改造与升华的唯一可能。从教，就要首先改变自己、升华自己。

 董健（资深英语教师，区小学英语教研员）：

从我们大人的角度看孩子的世界并不难，难的是我们愿意蹲下来，和孩子完全平等并且感同身受。这不是教育理念而是一种生活态度。

 沈先尧（英语教育专家，资深校长，某幼教集团副总）：

                   醉翁操
                       ～致艺鸣学子
  婉然。清圆。谁弹？艺鸣弦。嘘！莫言。恐惊天上仙。暖风千里丽人天，聚众贤。遍栽桃李自无言，芳菲世人前。
  岭南书院，东江波烟。芳踪过后，绿杨影里秋千。花有时留蝶恋，禽有时同枝眠。历多年殷勤，化曲演少年！
  别来游故园，艺鸣学子，醉无眠！
非常感谢以上各位在这里分享他们对教育的深入理解和感悟，对教育的情怀和见解。有三位因为近期工作太忙碌，抽不出时间静下心来思考，我表示灰常理解，希望以后能有时间放松下来。

附上我的小文一篇，狗尾续貂吧！

Why do I teach?

 “Why do you teach?” many people would ask me this question. I can read their sympathyand implications from their pathetic looks. Teaching is not considered to be agood choice for men. Anything will do. Teaching is good as long as you don’tmake a living at it.

Then why do I still teach?

Because I wish to teach kids the way theyshould be taught, not the way I was taught and suffered.

Because I can learn and share. The secret is:the best way to learn anything is through teaching it to others.

Because I can help learners develop physically,mentally, psychologically and spiritually.

Because I can see children accomplish andachieve something.

Because I can witness the growth of a seedinto a tree.

Because I can connect people and touch thelives of so many impressionable children.

Because I can learn to change to cope withchanges. We are teaching kids to prepare for the unknown future.

Because I can show them the wonders ofintellect and academics.

Because I can experience childhood andadolescence again and again.

Because I can dip creativity into the everydaywork and see miracles happen.

Because I can embrace the many challenges inthe profession.

Because I can elicit the best out of the nextgeneration.

Because I can exploit their potentials andinnate capacities.

Because I can possess the power to empowerstudents to be somebody.

Because I can get loads of Happy Teachers’ Day cards.

Because I can enjoy the much-envied andprivileged three-month holidays.

Because I can stay young being with thoseinnocent minds.

Because I can motivate and inspire thelearners and get motivated and inspired in return.

Because I can teach them all about the worldwhile they teach me all about life.

Because I can make a huge difference inlearner s’ lives and leave a longlasting impact.

Now, let me ask you: why do you do your job?
