Tao Xingzhi, a famous educator, put forward: "Life is education, and every day's life is a course." In other words: "We can't just regard collective activities as children's learning activities, but should give children educational significance in all aspects of their daily life and make their lives educational and instructive."

Anecdotes of characters

Tao Xingzhi has a story about educating students: a boy hit a boy in his class with mud. After being discovered by the principal Tao Xingzhi, he was ordered to go to the principal's office after school. After school, Tao Xingzhi came to the principal's office, and the boys were already waiting for training.

But Tao Xingzhi smiled and took out a candy for him and said, "This is for you, because you came on time and I was late." The boy took the candy. Then Tao Xingzhi happily took out the second candy and put it in his hand, saying, "This is a reward for you, because you stopped immediately when I didn't ask you to hit someone, which shows that you respect me very much and I should reward you."

The boy looked at Tao Xingzhi in surprise. At this time, Tao Xingzhi took out the third candy, stuffed it into the boy's hand and said, "I investigated." You beat those boys with mud because they bully girls; " You hit them, which shows that you are honest and kind, and have the courage to fight the bad guys. You deserve a reward! "

The boy was moved to tears and cried regretfully: "President Tao, I was wrong. I didn't hit the bad guys, but my classmates. " Tao Xingzhi smiled with satisfaction. He immediately took out the fourth candy and handed it to me, saying, "I'll give you another candy so that you can correctly understand your mistakes." I have no candy, and our conversation can be over. "
