? Exploring the Soul of School Education
There was a western expedition in the mysterious virgin forest, and the local Indians were invited as guides. Every time after a few days, the tour guide will ask the team to stop for one day. He said, "We walked too fast for our souls to keep up. We should stop and wait for the soul. " In ancient India, people believed that souls walked with people. People walk too fast, and the soul can't keep up. We often go so far that we forget where and why we started. Because of this, we need to leave some space for ourselves, trace back to the source and keep returning to the beginning.
Human life is a complex whole, but no matter how complicated, its soul lies in the desire for a higher and better life. Human education is also a complicated process, but no matter how complicated education is, its soul lies in activating the individual's inner desire for good things, thus promoting the continuous growth and self-generation of individual life.
Therefore, in this sense, the soul of education is to guide people to yearn for good things, and to inspire and guide the self-growth of individual life with the emerging desire for good things in their hearts. The root of education lies in the individual himself. Only education that stimulates the inner strength of individual self-growth is truly sound education, otherwise education will inevitably move towards passive indoctrination.
Some people say that our current education has trained more and more people with knowledge and no culture. This statement may be biased, but it does reflect a certain dilemma of today's school education. When we cultivate more and more young people with rich knowledge and excellent intelligence, we neglect to give them corresponding cultural edification. The acquisition of knowledge and the influence of culture cannot be confused. The acquisition of knowledge is more related to thinking, while the influence of culture is related to the existence of the whole person.
It is the soul of school education to ignite people's hearts, arouse students' inner changes and arouse students' overall attitude towards life.
Good education in personal memory
What is education? What is a good education? It is almost impossible, or a very difficult thing, to answer such a question accurately, comprehensively and correctly. Please refer to the major educational monographs for details.
However, in fact, each of us will have some good memories of education in our hearts, or we will leave some good memories in the process of education. This is a spiritual touch, and when you recall the corners of your mouth, you will unconsciously rise.
Looking back on my student days, one of the teachers that impressed me the most was Mr. Sun, a Chinese teacher in Grade Two. In a Chinese class, the students are all finishing their homework, and the classroom is very quiet. At that time, I was sitting in the first group, close to the wall, which made many students feel "safest" and always felt that the teacher was not easy to find out what to do. So, after finishing my homework, I happily passed a small note to a classmate behind me. After a while, I heard footsteps. I lowered my head and felt footsteps approaching me. "Finished, finished ..." I said nervously in my mind.
Finally, Miss Sun stopped in front of me. I looked up at her in fear and trembling. Just that one look, it is estimated that I will remember it for a lifetime. There is no blame in her eyes, only a smile and spoil. She leaned down and whispered, "What are you doing? Have you finished your homework? Have you checked? " I breathed a sigh of relief silently, leaving only shame and gratitude in my heart. ...
I can't forget that deep voice. Eyes and voice contain too much tolerance and love. That kind of love really touched my inner education, and that kind of education really made me better.
Einstein once praised the definition of education: "If a person forgets everything he learned in school, the rest is education." This definition is definitely not the most authoritative definition of education, but it also implies a truth: real education is something that goes deep into our hearts, stays in our memories for a long time, and urges people to do good.
The center of education is educating people, and the fundamental direction of education is people. A good education must be that the educated people personally feel a kind of beautiful education. ?

? Practical form of education: vivid communication between people
As Jaspers said, education itself means that a tree shakes another tree, a cloud pushes another cloud, and one soul awakens another soul. Education is a human activity, an interpersonal activity and a vivid interpersonal communication at any time.
/kloc-James, a Harvard philosopher more than 0/00 years ago, said: "What is the most essential quality that constitutes a university? Many years ago in New England, it was said that on a log by the roadside, a student sat at one end and Mark Hopkins sat at the other. That's a university. The quality of a school depends on the quality of people in the school. ..... In the long run, education is a matter between each student and his institution. The way we talk too much only plays a secondary role. ..... The most important thing is to provide them with more interpersonal contact. " The real university is the communication between people and the close contact between young people and knowledgeable elders. This is also the meaning of President Mei Yiqi's famous saying that "a great scholar is not a building, but a master".
Any educational activity is based on communication. As the saying goes, "if you are close to the teacher, you will believe in your own way." Good teacher-student relationship is a necessary prerequisite for effective education. Any student who looks back on his school life experience may really miss more warm moments between teachers and students and between students in the natural state.
Of course, a complete education should not be limited to school education, and this kind of communication between people should not be limited to campus, but should extend to daily life. School education, social education and family education are indispensable. ?
Embrace the ideal of education and think while doing it.
Comenius, a Czech educator, once said, "What better or greater contribution can we make to our country than educating young people?" Education creates the future. What kind of education we have actually represents what kind of future we have.
Today, with the popularization of school education, the profession of teachers has long lost its charm, and even deviated in the interweaving of various deformed factors. However, I still want to say that a truly excellent teacher and a good school are of great significance to a child's life development. I believe that too many front-line teachers are like this: they are always deeply aware of their fundamental significance as teachers. They have always adhered to their educational ideals and accompanied one fresh life after another in every ordinary day. They don't want to be vigorous, they just want the life of every child around them to be illuminated because of their existence.
Zhuge Liang wrote in the "Commandments": "A gentleman's trip is to cultivate one's morality by quietness and frugality. Not cold, not awake, not quiet, not far away. If you study quietly, you have to study. If you don't learn, you won't have a wide range of talents. If you don't want to learn, you can't succeed. " We need to learn to return to ourselves in more and more complicated affairs, return to our ideals and beliefs about heart and education, and strive to live our calmness, tranquility and purity as educators. Walking on the road of education, let us think while walking ...?
