Remember your school years. Yes, indeed, there are these typical phrases of teachers, which they very much liked to use for their educational purposes. Many phrases took root and became widespread in the school environment. Some teacher phrases are passed down from generation to generation. Probably, when the future teachers were sitting at the school desk, they heard some of them. So, let's remember the school years.
Forest of hands!
Phrase with ironic overtones. The first part of this phrase reads as follows: “Who is to the board? Forest of hands! " Many of us experienced a heart attack during this question, some managed to pray, and optimists managed to learn the given material. A moment that characterizes the superiority of a teacher over students. When the teacher picks up a magazine and so drawily pronounces this frightening phrase. The final part of the phrase "Forest of hands!" no less remarkable: "There is no hand, only oaks." If this phrase was logically predictable, it was expected at the beginning of the lesson, checking the material passed, then such phrases of teachers as, for example, “get double sheets”, “close textbooks” took us by surprise. They frightened us, and these were real living conditions, a test of knowledge, and I must say “thank you” for these “double leaflets”, which then, years later, have happened more than once in real life when you are not waiting for them at all. The students were waiting with hope for that desperate hero who was supposed to “save the situation”, and the teacher understood that now many heads could “fly”.
The diary is your face
Or another related phrase: “The cover of the notebook, the book is your face.” A diary is an important attribute in the life of any student, he will tell you everything: behavior, diligence, grades, recording homework. Yes, he was a face. He could tell a lot. In it you could see your fives and deuces, ups and downs. It was like a verdict: "The diary is your face!" Against this background, one of the teachers' favorite phrases is recalled: “For now, I put a deuce in pencil.” Do you remember? This meant that you still have a chance to rectify the situation, because it is known that “what is written with a pen cannot be cut down with an ax”. The recording made with a pencil could be easily erased. Or, remember, they liked to put an end to your surname. The deuce put in pencil is not only a chance for correction, but also the fact that your knowledge was in doubt. There is such an expression as “put on a pencil,” that is, to express your distrust, doubt. The schoolchild is under pressure, now he is obliged to prove himself and correct this “pencil two”.
I look in the book - I see a fig
That is, in other words, not to understand, not to realize the meaning of what was read.
The phrase is quite common not only in the school environment. But again, the phrase “I look in a book - I see a fig” is often used by teachers. The teacher once again uses his superiority over students. But far from always, far from all teachers use ironic, unkind phrases, many of these phrases may have been pronounced at the moment of "weakness." Also, as an example, such phrases of teachers, which begin with the words: "You must!" You must study well, be diligent, obedient, polite. And most importantly, you must obey the teacher in everything. Please note that the wording of this kind causes depression and stress, if you change this wording, leaving the meaning of what was said, then you can achieve greater results in the education of schoolchildren. For example, if the phrase “you must obey the teacher” is formulated differently: “You can have your own opinion, but you must listen to the opinion of elders.” Or a phrase of this kind:
- Where is Ivanov?
- Ill.
- Yes? Why, probably, an inflammation of cunning ?!
Such treatment can often lead to misunderstanding and create the basis for future conflicts. Vedas, schoolchildren well understand that much is forbidden for them, and adults "can do anything." But adults, in our case we are talking about teachers, should appeal this kind to a minimum. If you practice the typical phrase: “I look in the book - I see a fig” to replace it with another, how would you say it differently? If you stick to this scenario, then the picture looks different. A friendly and relaxed atmosphere reigns in the classroom, the teacher correctly guides the course of classes in the lesson. Classes arranged in this order are productive. And it is quite possible that next time, conducting a roll call in the classroom, the teacher will find a pleasant moment for himself that no one in the class is suffering from “cunning inflammation” anymore.
Teacher call
But I would like to argue with this phrase, since the time allotted for the lesson should be strictly allocated by the teacher, this is his “art” to be able to maneuver in this short time interval. Each teacher understands how the attention of the children decreases after the call. Again, a demonstration of power takes place: “Sit down! A call for the teacher! ” But I would like to note that the severity, even a little superfluous, still does not hurt anyone. From time to time, this form of communication is permissible; moreover, it characterizes the teacher as a teacher who knows how to easily get in touch with students. The use of such phrases suggests that not everything is in the field of his attention. Classes may not always achieve their goal.
Two plus three. Score for two
Using this phrase, the teacher implies that he hears the prompts of the students, and in a rather bearable, even loyal, form, makes a warning for his part. “Ivanov, what is going on there? To put an assessment for two too? ” An appeal of this kind rather indicates a lack of communication barrier. Yes, of course, from the side of the teacher, the educational impact occurs, but the classroom audience is not passive, the teacher’s behavior is not dominant. A similar situation of such an active interaction can easily be corrected and called a “union”. There is no inflexibility, the teacher does not resemble a “robot,” although some authoritarianism of the “I myself” type will manifest itself to a small extent, but you cannot call this situation non-contact.
Have you forgotten your head at home?
I forgot my sports uniform, I forgot my notebook, textbook and the like ... Have you forgotten? The teacher’s phrase is full of irony. A dull "wall of China" of misunderstanding is erected between you. The statement of teachers in this form humiliates and depresses the student, making him a vulnerable target of ridicule from his classmates. The style of such communication is likened to an incorrect and non-contact model of communication between the teacher and students. It is really very, very bad in relation to the student. In such a situation, the “Chinese wall” can lead to a barrier, the situation is characterized by weak feedback between the two parties, the lack of desire to communicate and collaborate on the part of the students. The teacher involuntarily emphasizes his status and his condescending attitude towards students, which will entail an indifferent attitude on the part of the students.
A bit of psychology
But there are situations when a teacher focuses on some part of the class, but not on the whole audience. Say, his attention is spent only on talented students, or, conversely, on the link of outsiders. Or here is a situation where the teacher is focused only on himself, listens only to himself, his speech is monotonous and monotonous. In such a “dialogue”, the opponent cannot insert his own line, emotional deafness to the students around him is the main obstacle. Both sides of the learning process become isolated from each other. There are situations completely opposite to those described above, for example, a teacher is concerned about how he is perceived by others, puts his actions and methods in doubt, depends on the mood in the audience, reacts sharply to all remarks in the class, taking them to his own account. In this case, the reins of government are in the hands of the students, and the teacher takes a guided position. And what could this situation lead to? Yes, it’s better to listen to these typical phrases of teachers than complete anarchy in the classroom.
Golden mean
How to determine the very “golden mean" when the learning process focuses on the teacher, the teacher is the main character, but also, in addition, he must be in constant dialogue with students. Questions and answers, judgments and strong arguments come from the teacher, and on the other hand, he should encourage initiative and easily grasp the psychological climate in the classroom. This form of communication is most productive when the style of friendly interaction prevails, but the role distance is maintained.
Conclusion Total
In conclusion, summing up the above, I would like to note that the teacher is a difficult profession, which requires great patience and attention to children. After all, not everyone can be a teacher, this is a special vocation. In order to pass on his knowledge to the younger generation, you need a certain talent. Of course, it is very difficult, and sometimes quite difficult to instruct and raise children, but we will always remember our teachers. Indeed, thanks to the perseverance, work and optimism of the teacher, “masterpieces” can appear. But in order for such a “masterpiece” to appear, you need to love children unselfishly and selflessly give yourself to them!
