6. Different ways of education
Principal Kobayashi often said: "No matter which child is born with excellent quality, it will be influenced by many factors in the process of growth, both from the surrounding environment and from adults." These excellent qualities may be damaged, so it is necessary to find these excellent qualities as early as possible and let them develop, so as to cultivate children into individuals. " His ideal flower has been in full bloom in Eight Academies for nine years, and his unique educational method is worth learning.
When Xiao Doudou piled up the debris in the toilet in order to catch the wallet that fell in the toilet, the principal didn't blame her, but told her to put it back in the end like a good friend. Xiao Doudou thinks that "the headmaster is not angry with what I have done, trusts me very much and respects me as a person with great personality", and thinks that the headmaster is a trustworthy person.
When the children learned that another abandoned tram was used as a library, they were curious about how the tram got into the school. The headmaster asked the children to consult their parents, and then brought blankets and pajamas to school at night. They also let the children sleep peacefully: "I'll call you when the tram comes." When the children wore pajamas and saw the tram being carried away by a huge tractor much bigger than the trailer, they were so excited that they jumped on the headmaster and hugged his shoulders and arms.
In order to take care of the equality and respect among students, the headmaster took great pains to eliminate the concepts of "being different" and "being inferior" for children with physical defects, and let everyone feel that "no matter what kind of figure is beautiful" by swimming without a swimsuit; In order to make Gao, who is short, enhance his self-confidence, the principal used the original equipment of the school to personally design sports that are beneficial to his play, and turned Gao's shortcomings into advantages, winning the championships of various projects, winning the respect of his classmates and self-esteem.
In order to exercise the children's courage, the headmaster personally taught the children to set up tents on camping nights, and let the children raise their hands to fight monsters voluntarily, and do "courage testing" activities in the temple of Jiupin Buddha at night. Since then, the children in Ba Xueyuan are no longer afraid of monsters. In Ba Xue Garden, in addition to learning knowledge, we pay more attention to the cultivation and education of children's self-care ability and survival ability.
In order to let the children receive rhythm education, a large number of music classes are offered in Ba Xue Garden. In music class, drawing notes on the floor of the auditorium according to the teacher's rhythm is simply enjoyable for everyone. The headmaster introduced rhythm into teaching. Rhythm makes the body and mind understand the rhythm, which helps the spirit and body to achieve harmony, thus awakening people's imagination, promoting people's creativity, and cultivating children's strong will and focused habits.
In order to train children's expressive ability, an interesting talk show was added at lunch time in Ba Xueyuan. Every day a child stands in the middle of the circle and talks to everyone. After exercise, children dare to express their ideas clearly, freely and unabashedly in front of others.
In order to make children have fun and not worry about getting dirty clothes, they are always asked to wear the worst clothes to school. Parents said they had never seen such a great principal.
Ba Xueyuan is an ideal country, and President Kobayashi is an educator who really thinks about children's growth. "Ba Xue Yuan", as its name implies, refers to a school composed of buses. In fact, the word "ba" represents the good intentions of the principal, and refers to the emblem composed of black and white ba-shaped patterns. He hopes that children can develop in harmony both physically and mentally. The educational model of Ba Xue Garden is unique, providing children with as many opportunities for free activities as possible, so that they can see, think and feel everything in a customary way.
Principal Kobayashi, like Tao Xingzhi, has religious feelings for education and won the hearts of children with his own practice. Advocate natural education and ecological education like Rousseau, and respect children's personality development. In Rousseau's view, only by protecting children's good nature, respecting their natural nature, not suppressing their personality, not inculcating traditional prejudice, and not practicing strict discipline and corporal punishment can children develop freely physically and mentally, so that the trained talents are real natural people.
The best education is not to encourage children, but to provide them with a space for free development, to germinate when it is time to germinate and to blossom when it is time to bloom. The children spent the most unforgettable time in their lives in Ba Xueyuan and made outstanding contributions in their respective fields when they grew up.
This book seems to be a story about children's growth, an educational poem for parents and educators, and a mirror, from which we can find all the sources of confusion and pain encountered in today's family education and school education, as well as our own problems as adults.
I want to end this article with the evaluation of China Reading News: "This is a book that all mothers, all teachers, all literate children and all people who used to be children should read."
