At the Principals Conference, a principal insulted a female teacher. The Education Bureau expressed that if it's true, they will correct it; if not, they will use it as encouragement?

At the conference, the principal told the teachers that all the school's funds were obtained by him from higher authorities. He said that next time when asking for money, he would let the teachers go and ask for it themselves. He added that if they dressed more attractively and wore makeup, they could definitely get more money than him. Female teachers felt aggrieved and complained, to which the Education Bureau replied that it was just an emotional outburst of the principal, and the female teachers had misunderstood.

Focus: Wan'an County, Jiangxi Province, located in the central-southern part of Jiangxi Province, under the jurisdiction of Ji'an City. While browsing the Wan'an County Government website today, I suddenly discovered a strange story.

Teachers from the Furong Central Primary School in Wan'an County complained to the county government mailbox, stating that on April 4 this year, during a full faculty meeting discussing the issue of bottled water, due to insufficient communication, there was a disagreement on the method of operation. Teachers offered suggestions to the school out of goodwill, which led to the principal's dissatisfaction. At the conference, Principal Liu Xiaowen became extremely angry and said many vulgar things. He mentioned that if the teachers wanted to drink water, they could drink the water prepared for the students, and if they wanted to work, they might as well work until the principal dies. All the school's funds were obtained by the principal from higher authorities, and next time when asking for money, he would let the teachers go and ask for it themselves. He added that since they have the capital, they should dress more attractively and wear makeup, which would definitely get more money than him. Since most of the teachers at the school are female, the female teachers felt insulted but dared not confront the principal face-to-face. Outraged, they complained under the pseudonym "Furong Elementary School Teacher" to the county government mailbox, demanding that the principal apologize to everyone at the regular meeting.

The Wan'an County Petitions and Visits Bureau handed over this matter to the County Education and Sports Bureau for handling. The Education Bureau conducted an investigation at Furong Central Primary School and publicly responded online. In their response, the Education Bureau did not deny the insulting words complained about by the female teachers, but stated that Principal Liu Xiaowen's words may have been overly aggressive, but it was just a personal emotional outburst, leading to some teachers misunderstanding his speech. At the same time, the principal mentioned the difficulties in obtaining funds from higher authorities, affirming Principal Liu Xiaowen's consistent democratic approach in work and emphasis on emotions in life, harmoniously coexisting with the school teachers. However, the Education Bureau did not order the principal to apologize to the teachers, only saying "correct what is wrong, and strive harder if there is none."

Comment: This blogger greatly admires the sincerity of the Wan'an County Education Bureau. From Principal Liu Xiaowen's "personal emotional outburst" that caused dissatisfaction among female teachers, this blogger feels that the improvement of national quality still requires enhancing the quality of school principals. What deserves more attention is the internal cause that triggered Principal Liu Xiaowen's "emotional outburst." From the Education Bureau's affirmation of Principal Liu's harmonious relationship with the teachers, it can be seen that Principal Liu was not dissatisfied with his subordinates' one-time "emotional outburst." The issue of bottled water was just the external trigger for the "emotional outburst," while the internal cause lies in the principal needing to beg higher authorities for school funding (referred to by the Education Bureau as "striving"). The principal referred to this process of striving for funds as "begging," which clearly shows the financial difficulties of the school. To maintain the school's operation, the principal had no choice but to humbly beg the higher authorities for funds. The hardships and pain involved are hard to understand unless experienced personally. Long-standing grievances erupted at this conference, and Principal Liu dared to "vent" only in front of his subordinates. Imagine if such "venting" occurred in front of superior leaders, it would result in even failing to "strive" for any funds.
