I'm Just a Substitute Teacher

Are teachers only supposed to teach those with potential geniuses? This reveals a serious problem with our education system. From childhood to adulthood, how many parents and teachers have ever told their children that it's okay if they don't get into university, it's okay if they don't make a lot of money, as long as they are safe and healthy?

This book has its enjoyable moments, but it also has many flaws. First, the protagonist is set as a volunteer teacher, but he is too utilitarian in his actions. It's not that the main character is wrong, but the image of rural volunteer teachers is that they are not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and they are wholeheartedly trying to help children in the mountains get out of the mountains and…

Teaching can be tailored to individual needs, but the premise is that education should be accessible to all. If the protagonist were a teacher at a top high school, I wouldn't mind the talent selection process. However, the evaluation of rural education should not be based on how many students are admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities, but on how many children have been lifted out of…

Volunteer teachers are those who go to impoverished areas to support education and help those areas overcome illiteracy. This is why we admire them, especially female teachers. Who wouldn't want a good life in the city? But some of them are willing to support their hometowns, while others are willing to do so for their ideals.

No matter how well someone is trained, what does that have to do with the protagonist? Whether they go to middle school, high school, or university is none of the protagonist's business. Besides, the protagonist is already so capable, why would he go and teach in a rural area? 🤭

There is a fundamental difference between being a teacher and volunteering in impoverished areas. Teaching is a job, while volunteering supports education in these areas, and struggling students receive extra care and attention. My uncle's personal experience shows that he even had his tuition covered. Therefore, volunteering is more than just a job; it's a responsibility and a dedication.

After reading many comments, I think I understand why so many people are so hostile. It's because being a volunteer teacher is a very noble profession. Volunteers go there spontaneously, not for their own personal gain, but because they want to help impoverished areas prosper.

The protagonist isn't suited for rural teaching. First, geniuses come from all over the country; second, you can't teach by constantly changing locations and engaging in guerrilla-style teaching, staying in one place for a year or two. You might only have 50 students in your lifetime at most—it's not worth it, retreat.

This system is not suitable for teaching in rural areas; it is more suitable for the protagonist's father to be a director of a high-end private education group, and for the protagonist to be the director of admissions and an elite club advisor.

The essence of teaching in rural areas is universal education, while the essence of this system is elite education. These are inherently conflicting. Regardless of whether you are utilitarian or not, this fundamental difference means you shouldn't write about teaching in rural areas. You would be better off writing about an ordinary teacher from another place.
