Schools are places to educate personality, teach students how to behave civilizedly, know how to control emotions, and know how to respect others.
The principal is not only a manager but also a role model of ethics and culture of behavior for teachers and students.
Therefore, when a principal appears with images of hitting the table, shouting, and throwing cups in the meeting, what makes public opinion concerned is the impact of that image on the educational environment.
No one demands that a principal be perfect, never make mistakes. But precisely because of holding a leadership position, the requirement for emotional control is even higher.
For many years, the education sector has continuously emphasized the construction of "happy schools", "school culture", these concepts cannot just lie on slogans hanging at school gates or in plans.
If we want students to know how to speak well, adults must set an example first, if we want teachers to behave culturally, managers must be the first to implement it.
What is worrying is that the hot-tempered behavior of the head, if repeated, can create a stressful and pressured working environment.
In that environment, dialogue easily gives way to imposition, and suggestions easily turn into confrontation.
If the incident is true to what the video reflects, the person with inappropriate behavior needs to seriously acknowledge their responsibility.
The inspection and verification by functional agencies needs to be carried out objectively and in accordance with regulations, avoiding accusations, but it cannot be taken lightly.
Principals need to be good at their profession, but the most important quality of an educator is still the ability to inspire with personality and composure.
Students looking at teachers standing on the podium or sitting in the position of principal is not only knowledge, but also the behavior of a teacher.
No one can avoid moments of loss of composure, but society has the right to demand higher standards from a principal than ordinary people, because that is the person who is contributing to shaping the personality of the younger generation.
Students may forget a lesson in class, but will remember for a long time the sincere teachings of teachers.
Students will deeply remember the gentle face and gentle behavior of the principal. Of course, they will also remember the opposite behaviors.
Returning to the case of the elementary school principal smashing tables and throwing cups, it is also possible to sympathize with the outburst of anger, but consider it a lesson to learn from.
Not breaking a cup, but breaking the beautiful image of a respectable principal in the eyes of students.
