An alternative to the teacher-student relationship

Over the years, Liang had been thinking something must not be right in the relationship between teachers and students. From teacher’s perspective students are always naughty and wouldn’t put in effort despite teacher’s effort and goodwill; on the other hand, students have this long grew resentment towards their teachers – this needs to be changed, and Liang shares his thinking with us. Over the years, Liang Deng's studies have focused on the "people" in literary classics. As a literary researcher in education, he has been exploring how to reflect human vitality, human profoundness and richness in education.

He has worked both inside and outside the education system, as a teacher in both primary and secondary schools and in universities. He participated in the compilation of "national new curriculum reform teaching materials for Guangdong high school teachers". After leaving the system, he tried to explore education outside the system itself. In 2014, he created the "Son of the Earth" Education Institute which is committed to the research and promotion of education and to the cultivation of its practitioners.
