Australia`s righteous "cart man", recently brushed out by Time line, in the face of knife-wielding bandits, has the courage to use a cart to knock him down, and the story of bravado has been widely publicized.
And recently similar things, also happened to a Chinese student, but the harvest is a very different response.
A Canadian college teacher posted a post on reddit describing the late arrival of one of his Chinese students, sparking a lot of discussion.
The teacher is very strict. If the student is ten minutes late, there will be no class score. Unless there is a doctor`s medical record or a police report proves that students who are late do have a reason.
And no class scores at all, which means that the course is likely to miss the course. The students will spend another sum of money when they re-study.
The Chinese male student was 20 minutes late. Although he made a very sincere apology after class, the teacher did not intend to let him go because he thought his reasons for being late were too ridiculous.
The Chinese student said he witnessed a shoot case on his way to school. The man at hand, shoot, ran away in his car. He came up to help the man who had been shot, so he was late.
The teacher thought it was a lie made up by the student to cover up his laziness.
It was not until the next day that the teacher received a report from the police convinced that the student had indeed been involved in the rescue of the man who had been shot because he was too late to do so.
At the same time, the teacher recalled that the male student clothes, pants, forearms everywhere with blood. At that time, this detail was ignored by him.
The content of this post caused a stir on reddit. Many questioned how the teacher could have ignored the fact that the student was covered in blood and questioned his claim.
Because the shoot case was a frequent occurrence on campus in Canada. From 14 to 18 years, at least once a year. It is not impossible for students to meet shoot.
There are also questions about why the Chinese student was able to go to class after something as shocking as the shoot case, rather than the universal choice of local students to go straight home and calm their emotions.
This circle can answer: because Chinese students dare not go home directly!
In the face of 10 minutes late for the risk of failing courses, even in the face of sincere explanations will also be misunderstood teachers, how dare we not come to class?
Our face-to-face explanations will be treated as lies and will require corroboration from police reports to be believed.
If we do not show up at all in the classroom and lose the opportunity to clarify in person, is it even more difficult to say?
Why does the teacher always question and verify the words of Chinese students subjectively; instead of choosing to believe?
For local students, it turns out they are more likely to believe what they say.
Is it really because of "non-ethnic groups, their hearts must be different"?
Australian students are also treated differently
There have been several times of teachers questioning and even discriminating against Chinese students.
One time is also related to being late. A Chinese girl was five minutes late, explaining to her teacher that the alarm clock on her phone didn`t ring, so she was late.
I believe that many friends have encountered a similar situation. But, at that time, the teacher did not believe at all, directly scoffed: "you Chinese love to find excuses."
This remark angered all the Chinese students present.
All the Chinese students in the class sent an e-mail complaint to the college. Eventually, the college replaced another teacher to teach.
But it is easier to break the mountain than to break the heart. A teacher of iron, a Chinese student of flowing water.
The teacher, who is deeply biased and discriminating against Chinese students, is not in this class and has only lost some of his income. It did not have much influence on his profession itself.
And, even if he converges on his discriminatory language, does the little flame of discrimination within him still burn?
One more thing is even more serious, directly affecting the final grades of Chinese students.
She is a student of IT. At the time of submitting a programming assignment, he was sentenced to fail because he did not follow the method recommended by the teacher. If the assignment fails, the final exam will not pass either.
But the program she wrote runs perfectly and meets the requirements of the job. So she complained to the teacher twice and proactively identified the core of her homework.
However, the teacher is still unwilling to change the score of the Chinese student.
Under all sorts of helplessness, Chinese students found the coordinator. of this course After he had finished his homework, he ordered the teacher to change his grades. Chinese students have only escaped a bullet.
According to the Yale study, 45 percent of Chinese students reported depression and 29 percent reported anxiety. That`s a shocking figure, because local students have only about 13% of depression and anxiety.
Anxiety and depression are caused by great learning pressure. And how many of these learning pressures are due to the poor strength of Chinese students, and how much is due to the subconsciously differentiated treatment of local teachers?
All overseas students in China are expected to be treated gently by school teachers and classmates.
