Different from the concept of"educator in general meaning","educator"in Chinese is an honorific title for a tiny fraction of educator in general meaning.Education itself is a practice,not a theory.After all,educator must be the distinguished expert in educational practice,not necessarily in educational theory.It is difficult for a pure educational theorist and a pure educational scholar to be called an educator.An educator should be an outstanding figure with creative idea,contribution and influence in the field of educational practice.No matter the official title or the folk title,we need to consider the scale in people's hearts,we need to take into account the dominant"acceptance psychology"in realistic context.It should not be too casual,the threshold should not be too low.True educators are not"cultivated",but people with"educator talent"who are nourished,tempered and even tested by long-term educational practice in a good system and cultural soil.As the top part of the pyramid of talents in educational practice,the size of the"educators"is very limited,and the statements like"we need thousands of educators"is reckless and excessive.It is necessary to have enough rationality in understanding,judging and even promoting the formation and development of educator team.
