昨天开始上研究生的课了,课后觉得嗓子不适,教师的结局是“坐台”,“卖声”和“吸粉”,这是我的朋友周宇告诉我的段子。

专业英语课上了一半,走了2/3的学生。点名是一种形式,我一直知道。但是感谢大家都来了,还是多有面子的。每次点名后将名单公布,固然我们都是毫无隐私,但是为了避免我受到任何压力,而能安全地保证公平,这是必要的。

学校的政策是一个指南,如果学校对于教师的管理越来越严格(或者初级),那么我就很不象一个高校教师而更像一个小学教师,至少我指导自己的儿子时是不会这样初级而严厉地。

这是点名的目的吗?每次来的同学给两分的平时成绩。但是我还是要提醒我的学生们,你们不是一定能通过最终的期末考试。按照我的估计,大约一半的人会低于60%,可见我以前是多么的仁慈和善良。

说一下我自己的教学理念。

我一向认为,大学生已经是成年人,所以应该为自己的生活负责。上课或者不来上课,不过是一个成年人的自由意志之选择而已。所以我以前从来不点名。但是,我奖励来听课的人,你们都知道我那句话:“不来的同学不惩罚,来的同学有奖。”

因为你们的就业也许比较辛苦,所以我无意在此增加大家的负担。

对照学校的管理规章,我要接受半期检查,试卷评审,每次课必须点名,平时成绩要提交依据,试卷上的评分如果要修改必须签名(我是每份试卷都签名,不管是否修改);还要接受同学们的网络评估(虽然我从来不看,密码也丢失了)。

我一个月的工资很低,自从我宣布“新三不主义”,不带研究生,不申请项目,不写论文之后,我的收入锐减。(但是神看顾,如今有一种教授职位叫“教学型”。遗憾的是我上课也上得不多且不好。)在学校的收入刚刚够我交了房屋按揭,留下一点儿子的抚养费,年景好的时候每月会剩下3、4百元,年景不好的时候就捉襟见肘的窘迫。

当然,这里不是抱怨和晒工资的时候,我也不会抱怨自己的选择。只是这个工作需要努力,那么我应该按着学校的要求来做。

我也不自夸,但是学生们会看到我想成为一个合格的老师的努力。Pink Floyd说,all in all it was just another brick in the wall。这是我早年从教育中获得的态度。

You, Yes You, Stand Still Laddie!

When we grew up and went to school, there were certain teachers who would hurt the children anyway they could
by pouring their derision upon anything we did
exposing every weakness however carefully hidden by the kids.

But in the town it was well known that when they got home at night
their fat and psychopathic wives
Would thrash them within inches of their lives!

ooooooooooooo, oooooooo, ooooooooooo, ooooooooo, ooooooooo, ooooooooo,oooo.

We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it’s just another brick in the wall.
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall.

(A bunch of kids singing) We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave us kids alone!
All in all it’s just another brick in the wall.
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall.

Spoken:
“Wrong, Guess again!
Wrong, Guess again!
If you don’t eat yer meat, you can’t have any pudding.
How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat yer meat?
You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddie!”

[Sound of many TV’s coming on, all on different channels]
“The Bulls are already out there”
Pink: “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgh!”
“This Roman Meal bakery thought you’d like to know.”

I don’t need no arms around me
And I dont need no drugs to calm me.
I have seen the writing on the wall.
Don’t think I need anything at all.
No! Don’t think I’ll need anything at all.
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall.
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall.
