Tutoring students at home
Fei's home is not far from Gehu Lake, and there is a fishing village nearby. Many fishermen are busy all year round and can't take care of their children. Fei Huabing discussed with his wife to take these children to their own homes, take care of their lives during the day and help them with their homework at night. Gradually, many local fishermen and migrant workers sent their children to Fei's home. At most, there are 17 children living in his family.
When the reporter went to interview, he saw 10 many children quietly lying at their desks doing their homework. Jie Jiang, a fifth-grade student, said that his hometown is a famous mountain in Sichuan, and he came to Yixing with his working parents. He stayed in Fei's home for three years, and now he is doing well in every way. Last semester, he was also rated as a three-good student.
Fei Huabing said that he was very pleased to see the progress of his child daily growing.
There are 4,957 retired teachers in Yixing, of whom 4,724 are involved in caring for the next generation, with a participation rate of 95.3%. These old teachers give full play to their own advantages and enthusiastically devote themselves to caring for the next generation, becoming an indispensable educational force.
Set up an old teacher lecturer group
Many old teachers in Yixing have made room in their homes, equipped with tables and chairs, books, newspapers, arts and sports equipment, etc. During the winter and summer vacations, holidays and after-school hours, we will attract the surrounding students to do activities at home, give guidance, instruct homework, teach songs and carry out a variety of cultural and sports activities. The family counseling station does not charge parents a penny, and the old teacher also provides tea and electricity, which is very popular with parents and students. At present, there are 338 family counseling stations in the city, with 357 old teachers participating and 3785 students coming to the stations for activities.
During the interview in Yixing, the reporter heard a name many times-Jiang Zulin. Jiang Zulin, 76, is the former principal of Yixing Middle School in Jiangsu Province. After retirement, he is full of enthusiasm for the work of the next generation. He not only writes propaganda materials for the Yixing Municipal Commission for Work, but also gives lectures in person, giving 7 to 9 lectures every year. Setting up a lecturer group and being a good propagandist is another channel for Yixing retired teachers to care about the next generation. The city has set up 70 groups of old teacher lecturers, with 3 10 old teachers participating. Every year, according to the theme determined by the Municipal Working Committee, the lecturer group concentrates on compiling publicity materials, and uses the winter and summer vacations to go deep into schools, community neighborhood committees and villages to preach to young people.
Carry out the "Four Helps and One" campaign
There are also some children who go astray for various reasons. Seeing it in their eyes and anxious in their hearts, the old teachers took the lead in organizing the "Four Helps and One" educational activities. The so-called "four gangs" means that a retired old teacher, a classroom teacher, an excellent student and a student's parents form a helping and teaching group to help a student with bad behavior or serious behavior to be effectively corrected. A student in He Qiao Vocational School is short-tempered, impulsive and likes to make trouble. Shortly after his freshman year, he was punished for serious violation of discipline. After the "Four Helps One" activity began, Zhou Falin, a retired teacher, took the initiative to pair up with him, calling one after another to talk about learning, ideals and doubts, which gradually narrowed the distance with him. Originally, he had no collective consciousness, but he volunteered to be the head of the dormitory and did a very good job. At the end of the term, he was also rated as "excellent dormitory leader".
Many old teachers have also participated in pairing activities for disadvantaged students. Since 2005, the city has carried out comprehensive activities to help old teachers and students with difficulties in morality, learning and poverty. As long as the physical conditions permit, the old teachers under 75 years old should at least be linked with the disadvantaged students of 1, guide them ideologically, care for them in life and help them in study. At present, there are old teachers 1585 and disadvantaged students 1779 in Yixing.
