Abstract: The voice of the society for "good teachers" reflects the embarrassment of teachers in reality.The symbolization of the teaching profession makes teachers become an existence separated from their body,context,and experience,and their real life is obscured.Unfortunately,our society demands too much on them,giving them heavy responsibility which causes blurred boundaries of professional activities,so their normal needs are rarely met and duly respected,and the professional attractiveness is suppressed.Symbolizationcannot produce "good teachers",rather they can only be produced in the life world that deals with society in which the market plays a decisive role in resource allocation and people focus on self-determination,taking care of the good expectations of the individual for the future life.We need to recognize the physical existence of teachers and build a friendly cultural atmosphere and institutional environment.

Key words: symbolization, teachers, "Good Teachers"
