Education of Love is a very good children's book and a classic educational book worth learning by adults. Only by understanding the children's world can we know what they need and what they don't need, and what kind of love is the medicine rather than the poison to cultivate Xiong Haizi.
In the form of a diary, this book records the life of Amrico, a fourth-grade Italian pupil, in and out of class in the late19th century, and describes the growing process of a teenager's moral feelings, which is vivid and touching.
The academic life of the fourth grade starts from 10 and ends in July of the following year. The author used 100 diary to record, including 9 months. It is also interspersed with words that parents and sisters exhort and inspire Amrico.
This 100 diary contains great love and little love, love for the country and the nation, love for relatives, love for teachers and students, and friendship for friends. They should not only show the noble and pure love of human nature, but also tell readers how to love and tell parents and teachers how to educate their children to learn to love.
This book shows well how to cultivate children's patriotism.
The little heroes in "Young Detective" and "Little Drummer in the Moon" fought bravely for the motherland, or lost their legs or gave their lives. In Patriotic Youth, poor teenagers, in order to safeguard the dignity of their motherland, are not fed by strangers. Let the children copy and tell the story of the little hero by themselves, so that they can have more truth, closeness and understanding.
Now, what we need is patriotism, not blindly "worshipping foreign things and obsessing foreign things", because we have successfully colonized ourselves physically and cannot be colonized by other countries spiritually. We admit that other countries have advanced culture and technology to learn from, but we also have rich culture, so we don't need to sell ourselves short. The blind pursuit of foreign brands, the blind worship of foreign technology and the unconscious invasion of foreign culture make people worry and reflect.
Amrico's father would often tell Amrico heroic stories about the struggle for national unity and liberation. Now, how many of us still remember the heroic stories that died for the liberation and establishment of new China?
Although Amway's parents are in different social classes, they all have one thing in common-they love their motherland deeply. Do we have this mood now? How many people still have a sense of identity with the motherland?
Reflect on yourself, don't know much about the culture of your country, lack respect for the predecessors and heroes who made sacrifices, and lack a sense of identity with the motherland. How to educate the next generation in this way?
I will never say I love my motherland like a slogan, but no matter what my work or life is like now, I know I still love my motherland! If everyone has this kind of consciousness, we can learn from foreigners to control them, but we will never feel inferior, never despise the courage and splendid culture of the motherland, and contribute our meager strength to the beauty of the motherland, then we will certainly not be controlled, spiritually colonized, and never repeat the mistakes of history and embark on the road of the sick man and the conquered nation in East Asia.
After reading this book, there is a question in my heart. Do human beings have equal love?
In this book, many articles are preaching this kind of equal love of human beings beyond class boundaries. For example, in school, children of different classes study in the same classroom, whether they are well-dressed gentlemen, dirty workers or vendors with baskets, they discuss school affairs together, and they achieve equality under the school sky, as described in the article: in Amrico's eyes, people of all classes have become equal friends in school.
Carol Noppis in The Charcoal Man and the Gentleman is extremely proud because his father is a gentleman. One day, Noppis had an argument with his son Patty, who sells charcoal. Noppis told Patty that because he was wrong, there was nothing to argue about. "Your father is a beggar!" " Pei Di was ashamed and angry, speechless, and could only shed tears. "。 Later, I had to go home and cry to my father. Pei Di's father, the little man with black body, had to accompany his son to school in the afternoon class and tell Mr. Wang about it. Nobis's father is a quiet gentleman. On the way to send his son to school, he heard his name called and asked Mr. Nobis what had happened. Mr. Wang told the truth. Nopis's father blushed and asked his son if he had said such a thing. Nobis looked down and said nothing. So, his father grabbed his arm and pulled him to Patty's side to make him apologize. As a result, the charcoal seller seemed very sorry for this gentleman and repeatedly said that there was no need to stop it. But this gentleman refused. He had to ask his son to apologize and his father to hold the charcoal seller's hand. The charcoal seller is even more uneasy at this time, and his expression seems to say that he is not generous! Nobis had no choice but to bow his head and repeat his father's apology intermittently. As soon as the words sound just fell, the gentleman reached out to the charcoal seller. They shook hands, pushed Pei Di into Noppis and hugged him with both hands. The gentleman turned to the gentleman and asked, "From now on, please let them sit together." This is also arranged by Mr. Wang. When they sat down, Nopis's father saluted and went out. The charcoal seller stared at the two children sitting side by side, pondered for a while, went to his seat, wanted to say something to Nobis, seemed very attached, and was very sorry for him, and finally said nothing. He opened his arms and tried to hug Noppis, but in the end he failed.
The book does not directly describe Amway's social class, but we can judge that they are well-off middle class according to their life details. Amrico's parents will let him invite his classmates to his home, regardless of grade. Amrico's father would tell him to associate with laborers' children, especially to pamper laborers' sons, and not to judge others according to their property and status.
Equality in the article is not only manifested between different classes, but also between people. Through Amway's actions and feelings, we know that people should not bully the weak, but should care for the vulnerable groups, no matter they are young, disabled or old.
Among all the students, Amrico worships Caron the most, because Caron always protects the weak and advocates justice and equality. When the hunchbacked Nelly was laughed at by other children, Caron stepped forward and acted as Nelly's protector. Close, a son who sells vegetables, has a disabled hand, and also protects him from being bullied by Caron. With the help of Amrico and his parents, the author also expressed his warmth and sympathy for the laborers and the underprivileged, and this kind of help and charity must be based on full respect in order to truly reflect the equal love of human beings.
The love between relatives is also written in the book. Through the teaching of parents and teachers, tell children to love their parents and be responsible for their families.
There are several articles in Model Monthly about children sharing worries for their parents. Syria in "Young Pen Geng" does not tell his family every night and does copying work for his father; In Romagna's blood, although Romagna was naughty, at the critical moment, she resisted the gangster's bayonet with her young body and saved her grandmother's life. In "Looking for Mother in Six Thousand Miles", Kyle traveled thousands of miles alone to find her seriously ill mother, but gave her hope of survival at a critical moment.
Love for parents is not only these earth-shattering actions, but also revealed in daily life.
Coleti is the son of a firewood shopkeeper. In addition to his homework, he has to go to the shop to help, and he will deliver firewood at five in the morning. Amrico himself, because he misunderstood his parents' conversation and thought that his family was in financial difficulties, offered not to buy him and his sister new clothes and toys, and asked to tide over the difficulties with his parents.
Of course, Amrico sometimes doesn't respect his family. For example, when his brother's husband came and said something rude to his mother, his father scolded him and taught him to be filial to his mother. Amrico was rude because of his father's reproach, and his mother gave him a severe education, which made him see his father's greatness and dedication.
The article is full of affection between teachers and students, classmates and brothers. Amrico's father wants him to love Mr. Li, and Mr. Li's name must always be addressed with respect, because besides his father's name, Mr. Li's name is the most honorable and admirable name in the world. My father also gave the best example through his own practical actions, expressing his respect and love for the teacher.
The education of love not only shows love, but also tells us how to love and how to cultivate love.
Mr. Xia Lao once said that without love, education would be a backwater. Han Yu's "Teacher's Theory" also states: "Teacher, preach and teach to solve doubts." Obviously, moral cultivation is put in the first place in education.
On the other hand, our current education pays more attention to knowledge and wisdom, and speaks with achievements, ignoring the cultivation of morality and emotion, which is more important to a person's growth and life.
Without basic morality and the most basic human feelings, there will be so many vicious incidents of disrespecting teachers, not loving parents and even killing parents and teachers.
Because of the equal friendship between people who don't know each other, some "rich second generation" have relied on their connivance since childhood, thinking that money can solve all problems, and they are always hostile and indifferent to society, families, classmates and even campus bullying. The law has no clear attitude towards campus violence and school bullying. Many people also think that this is a habit, and the perpetrators are becoming more and more rampant and not introspective. Victims of violence have no choice but to submit to humiliation. What a pity!
What kind of person can really become a person? This is an eternal topic. A real person should have both wisdom and emotion, knowledge and morality. Know how to love and know how to be loved.
Love is the most precious thing in the world, including respect, sympathy, honesty, purity, selflessness, gentleness and other noblest qualities. How to love and how to cultivate love is a university question.
On the road of love, we never stop.
We learn to love, learn to be loved, and learn to teach children to love!
