About education
< Educator >
All of a great Saint and a great philosopher,
Christ, BUTTA, Muhammad, Confucius, Socrates,
Plato, and Aristotle were great teachers.
The word "leader" also includes
a meaning called an educator. What was it
that they tried to teach and tell? It is
about life. And it is the present education
that the portion which they tried to teach
and tell falls out entirely.
Although life is decided by encounter, it
is not an overstatement. Whether especially
a good teacher can be encountered influences
the man's lifetime. Therefore, even now,
there are customs which invite a teacher
in a marriage ceremony. And there is the
meaning of the word "teacher."
So, the responsibility given to the educator
is heavy.
Once, the origin of study was choosing a
teacher. Those who stood mind took a trip
of travels in quest of the teacher of life.
It was the beginning of learning and practice
to find a good teacher in a certain meaning.
Love [ as opposed to children from an ideal,
passion, and what ] is required for a teacher.
However, a present-day educator has many
people the consciousness as an educator and
the target are not [ people ] ascertained.
But the teachers who do not have the ideal
or passion as an educator from the beginning
are increasing in number so that it may be
represented by the deer teacher. Then, what
man will be able to call it an educator and
a teacher? Those who can look with the teacher
of life are just true educators. That is,
those to whom it should be how between men,
or should live how, or the direction is taught
are just true educators.
Whenever [ people go within a lifetime ]
experiences frustration, failure, and unrequited
love. And it worries each time and is troubled.
It is then that people need an instruction.
It can be called a true educator just by
being able to perform suitable advice and
instruction at such a time. Therefore, a
teacher's thing might be once called clergyman.
However, in the present educational system,
such a role is not expected to a teacher
at all, either. Rather, such a things are
not an educator's work and a job.
Even if it has this one eye, it is clear
to the present educational system that the
viewpoint of something as education is missing.
Under such an educational system, an educator
cannot be asked about character. Now, it
is because a teacher is an occupation. There
are also no ruler and structure which measure
character in the standard which chooses a
teacher. Rather, making an issue of thought
and a principle is not allowed. Moreover,
a history is not made into a problem, either.
It cannot even perform releasing it. That
is, the side to learn cannot choose a teacher.
It cannot even perform that parents get to
know it in order that a teacher may do what
thought education. An educator's character
is not made into a problem in a sense at
the adoption time more than a private enterprise.
This tendency becomes strong especially during
a compulsory education period. The thought
of a kindergarten or a nursery is thought
as important by the proof and many individual
and ideological education is made in the
kindergarten and nursery before compulsory
education.
It understands, if an educator also becomes
parents. If it sees from parents' viewpoint,
it should be understood how the present education
is dangerous and meaningless.
Children study the rule and order of a group
life through school life. And a teacher is
in the center. The teacher's character is
no longer asked. no matter what thought it
may have what past record and may have, a
guardian makes an issue of it -- not to mention,
it cannot know, either
It was no longer the time of choosing a teacher.
rather than -- it became impossible to choose
a teacher This means that the origin to educational
thought changed.
Expecting parents' education and teaching
in school are shifted in many cases greatly.
What parents make a protest against is not
allowed to it. It is like the school taking
the child at quality. In democracy, it is
clear that parents with a child's bringing-up
responsibility have educational sovereignty.
Except for the case where the parents are
accepted to be remarkably antisocial or to
lack admissibility of a party to legal proceedings,
the sovereignty over education is in a teacher,
or the parents instead of a state fundamentally.
It is a right natural for a guardian that
what human being gets to know what thing
is taught to children how. At least in a
democratic country, it is a fundamental right.
The right is not protected. This problem
and the freedom of thought and a principle
are another problems. And the school teacher
can grant absolute power into his classroom.
The problem is that a school and a guardian
are also unconscious to this.
Parents are not even allowed to make even
a complain, though having been contrary to
parents' will and the thing which parents
do not desire are taught by its child. It
cannot know, either, though a child's honor
and will are trampled down. And an educator
is the Absolute in a classroom. Really, who
would make what the basis and would grant
such power.
The present examination system is in the
origin.
The given problem and the made answer will
give a problem in the absolute world, and
those who make an answer will have absolute
power. It is the source of the authority
of a school. And when it is actually performed,
what grades an examination and attaches a
school report will have absolute power. And
in the present educational system, nobody
can do supervising this authority and power.
The teacher is absolute in a classroom. It
is havea problem about the danger that people
will become a dictator when such absolute
authority is grasped. In one's classroom,
a teacher has a possibility which a person
in question desires of changing into a dictator,
in spite of not wishing.
Before discussing the right or wrong of this,
it is the first thing to do to recognize
correctly the place which this means.
Why can't a guardian involve about adoption
of such an educator that has absolute power
and has positive influence with future [
of children ]? Educational sovereignty is
in the guardian of a child and a child. This
is a fundamental right in the democratic
country which makes education duty.
Only a guardian can superintend a teacher.
Because, a guardian is since its education
is left. [ important ] And in the case of
compulsory education, the choice of whether
to receive education is not given to a guardian.
The right and duty which a teacher is superintended
are in a guardian inevitably.
Love [ as opposed to children from an ideal,
passion, and what ] is required for a teacher.
Can the teachers of the spot continue having
such an ideal and passion, and love? Many
of educators are losing an ideal and passion.
It symbolizes the crisis of the present education.
Mind supports an ideal, passion, and love.
There is no how to have an ideal, passion,
and love in that there is nothing from the
beginning.
The remote cause by which an ideal and passion
are lost from the educator is in isolation
at schools.
An understanding and support of a guardian
are the most important for an educator. That
is, educators must be those who are chosen
from a guardian and act for a guardian. A
teacher does instead of [ of parents ] in
a school. If it becomes impossible for the
teacher who set in such a position to gain
an understanding and support from a guardian,
he will lose an ideal and passion in the
inside of moment.
An educator and a guardian have to make mind
the same. Therefore, the difference in the
mind between a guardian and an educator must
be canceled promptly. For that purpose, about
children's future and the possibility, opinions
must be continuously exchanged with parents
and it must try to deepen each other understanding
hard.
In order to gain an understanding and support
of a guardian, educators should be common
sense people from what. A school is because
it is just going to prepare for coming out
to society. All that matters is that an educator
is isolated from society and left by motion
of a world.
The teacher should discuss education with
the guardian or the local resident more.
By it, a point of contact with general society
should be increased, and general common sense
should be learned.
Structure is important in education. If structure
is solid, even if it makes it an examination
and makes it a teacher, the given role can
be played, respectively.
The problem is the structure about who chooses
an educator. The structure and procedure
which choose an educator under democracy
are important.
In order to realize democratic education,
you have to make a guardian participate in
management of a school or an educator's personnel
affairs in a certain form. Democracy is such
thought although surely various problems
are derived. You have to reverse democratic
organization, if it is disagreeable.
The will of the man who teaches is not respected
in the present school, either. In order to
teach what to teach, there are too many obstacles.
If an understanding and support of a guardian
are gained, although they must originally
so be easy to come out, pressure is applied
from various places. In order to protect
one's life, you have to stop after all, having
to reach a compromise. Rather, the direction
which the school also left to the principle
of a market may say.
A teacher, a textbook, and a curriculum will
be left to a user, i.e., a guardian. And
those [ all ] that chose it undertake to
a result.
Only the right as which a guardian chooses
an educator, and the right at least to evade
should accept.
The educational leading role is a child.
It is a duty to develop a possibility that
an educator is in a child.

A child's talent is in a child. The child
itself develops the talent. An educator only
helps it. It is to he forgets it and have
a child its way.
If it carries out, education will suffer
a setback.
You have to begin education from accepting
a child's capability. There is a child also
with a schoolchild more excellent than a
teacher without limit. You have to start
with recognizing a child's power. It is the
educator in whom those with the capability
to accept a child's potential capability
were excellent.
That is, it is finding out the child superior
to oneself. It is contrary to the educational
purpose to make a child obey and to rule
over. Educationally, it is defeat to subordinate
a child and to collapse autonomy.
for that purpose, a child's talk -- patience
-- hearing it strongly and gazing at a child
is that a teacher has to do first
Teaching is learning. Therefore, oneself
must learn an educator from a student first.
It is bringing up people. It is not grading
people, or attaching rank and sorting out.
It is a secondary thing.
The most important thing is giving people
confidence and pride and giving them an useful
hope and courage. And it is making one's
future and possibility believed. Therefore,
it is wonderful to educate people.
It must be tolerant to educate people. You
have to accept and accept people. It is because
people must be accepted in order to educate
people. Education will not be made if you
do not like people. And the observing eye
must be excellent.
It does not push against its idea or opinion,
but a partner's talent is accepted in the
maximum. If it thinks like this and is not
a person of character, an educator may not
have heart and others suddenly.
