On holidays, some teachers actually have wonderful breaks, but they never share their experiences on social media as others do. Why? Because they feel pressured to maintain an image of being fully dedicated to their profession. This helps them avoid public criticism for not working hard enough to educate the next generation.

Of course, some teachers choose not to take time off because they are driven by the pursuit of academic achievement. They spend their holidays reading and writing papers. For them, the holiday period offers a valuable opportunity to immerse themselves in research.

In short, many teachers face a dilemma. On one hand, they would like to share aspects of their personal lives—including holiday experiences—with others. On the other hand, they feel the need to maintain a low profile in order to uphold a positive public image as committed educators.

在假期里，有些教师其实度过了非常美好的时光，但他们从不像其他人那样在社交媒体上分享这些经历。为什么呢？因为他们感到有必要维持对教育事业全心投入的形象。这样做可以帮助他们避免因“没有竭尽全力承担教育下一代的责任”而受到公众指责。

当然，也有一部分教师选择不休假，因为他们追求学术成就的动力驱使自己不断前行。这些教师在假期里阅读文献、撰写论文。对他们而言，假期正是沉浸于科研的宝贵机会。

总之，许多教师都面临着一个两难境地：一方面，他们想与他人分享自己的日常生活，包括假期经历；另一方面，他们又觉得需要保持低调，以维护自己作为尽职教育者的正面公众形象。
