Previously, on June 3, social networks spread a petition of a parent whose child took the entrance exam for grade 10 at the Examination Council of Nam Dan 2 High School (Nam Dan District, Nghe An).
Parents said: after the exam, I returned home in a sad, confused mood and felt hurt by the disrespectful attitude of a supervisor in the exam room.
When a candidate in the room asked for more exam papers, teacher T.V.D - who is said to be the exam supervisor at the exam site of Nam Dan 2 High School - gave up: "If you pay a lot of money for studying, you will still work for hire, workers".
Although the incident was promptly handled by the authorities, the negative effects it left behind in the psychology of candidates, parents and the whole society cannot be taken lightly.
Because this is not simply a violation of exam regulations, but a sign showing an alarming gap in educational status among a part of the current teaching profession.
The saying "If you pay for a lot of money, you will work for hire, workers", when spoken in the exam room, is not only an insult to students but also shows genuine labor discrimination, an anti-educational thing.
At an important moment like a transition exam, students - children of young and vulnerable age - are easily shaken by such prejudicial words.
A strict look of the supervisor can help students be more serious, but a sarcastic statement from the test taker like in this case can make them feel inferior throughout the remaining study period.
We have talked a lot about maintaining exam room discipline, but perhaps we have not talked enough about maintaining the personality of examinees. The principal is not only the person who enforces the regulations, but also the person who represents the school and the education sector.
After the incident, the Department of Education and Training of Nghe An province quickly entered the verification and determination of parents' feedback as a basis, the leader of the Department of Education and Training has directed the suspension of the examination of the above -mentioned exam. At the same time, it is affirmed that it will not arrange the exam with the lack of standards.
This is a timely and necessary move. However, through this incident, the education sector of localities also needs to mention the establishment of a mechanism for screening and fostering supervisory ethics before the exam, not only based on professional competence but also considering attitude, thinking and pedagogical behavior.
We cannot let the exam environment become a place to sow feelings of inferiority and confusion. It is impossible for people with prejudice against the students' own efforts to enter the exam room as supervisors.
The personality and morality of a person called "teacher" are always examined by students, parents and the whole society, even when they are not on the podium.
