Handsome teacher sparks classroom shuffle in China

Despite the common understanding that students attend school to acquire knowledge, teachers can also play an integral role in making learning more enjoyable. A teacher’s vibrant personality can be an asset in winning over students. However, an excessively handsome teacher can sometimes create issues for themselves.

Take, for instance, the recent situation involving a young male teacher from Guangdong province, China. His god-like appearance quickly made him the centre of attention throughout the school. However, he found himself in a difficult situation when several parents requested their children switch to other teachers, fearing they would lose concentration during his extremely handsome teacher’s lessons.

Reports suggest this handsome male teacher, born in 1995, is currently an art teacher at a secondary school and also works at the Jiangxi province ceramic museum. Besides teaching, he is also a freelance model. In his spare time, this young teacher enjoys photography and shares his fashion style on his personal blog.

The cause of his headaches is his good looks, as some parents expressed concerns that their daughters might pay too much attention to the teacher’s appearance and neglect their studies, losing concentration during lectures. Some other parents agreed, wishing their children to focus on absorbing knowledge and studying thoroughly, without being influenced by other factors.

However, most people believe that outward appearance is not a point of contention, as this handsome teacher has been recognized for his excellent teaching experience and profound professional knowledge. Despite his relative youth compared to other teachers, he is very popular among students as he is serious and devoted to teaching. Therefore, regardless of his attractiveness, his teaching foundation is sufficient to motivate students, reported Sanook.

It’s good that parents pay attention to their children’s teachers. However, it should be understood that instead of requesting a teacher to quit because he is too handsome, schools and parents should educate students that studying is the number one priority in school. If a teacher resigns because of his good looks, it not only creates chaos in the classroom but also instils a wrong perspective in students that appearance matters more than anything else.
