-thoughts on reading two articles of People's Education
Two articles in People's Education (No.17, No.20 18) moved me very much. One is "Always Prepare Unpredictable Educational Magic" by Mr. Inspector of Xiamen Education Bureau, and the other is "I hate you giving up easily" by Mr. Lu from Chaoyang Middle School in pingdu city, Qingdao.
In the article "Always Prepare for the Unpredictable Magic of Education", I opened my eyes. Mathematics is closely related to guessing riddles, especially this riddle is all the wisdom of any teacher. Tell students to be honest in exams with "Don't cheat in exams", educate students to study hard with "What should I do if my grades are not good?" . Strangely, guessing riddles actually aroused the interest of an underachiever, which opened his mind, found confidence and made rapid progress. A riddle of "Where is the immortal (guess the name of the province)", let's extrapolate and copy the riddles of "Where to find the ore (guess the name of the province)" and "Where is the handle (guess the name of the country). Really obedient! The teachable boy was encouraged and guided by any teacher and finally admitted to Tongji University.
However, before that, Yi Qiang was an underachiever who didn't look good at home and school. Without Ren Yong's guess, Ren Yong's insight and Ren Yong's careful care, Yi Qiang might be one of the 10,000 underachievers in Qian Qian. Here, I want to say something that may be scolded by many teachers: in fact, there are no backward students, but educators have not found the source of motivation to inspire children to forge ahead. Of course, while preparing for being scolded, I am also convinced that this sentence will become a kind of self-encouragement for teachers who are good at reflecting on their responsibilities. At least, I will encourage myself to study more and think more, and expand a broader road for students and children.
I applaud the wisdom of any teacher and admire the wisdom education of any teacher. "My students are looking forward to my arrival in almost every class, because I am coming, the field of mathematics is coming, riddles are coming, thinking is coming, beauty is coming, passion is coming, poetry is coming, and humor is coming." Poetry is also in mathematics, and I have more expectations for the Chinese I teach.
The first part of the article gave me such a big surprise. After reading the second part of the article, I was completely confused. My thoughts were firmly grasped by the teacher's narrative. "Six 1" has played so many tricks and achieved such impressive educational and teaching effects, which I can't imagine. From the teacher's request that "you try to make 6 1 into a maximum number" to the students' curiosity about "what is the minimum number of 6 1" to the students' provocation "Teacher, you are so stupid! If I were a teacher, I would give six matchsticks instead of six 1. As a teacher, "playing math" would enter a new realm.
On the other hand, I was moved and admired when I read the article. The internal reason is that Ren Yong's wisdom is really convincing, and another important reason is domestic demand. Although my son's mathematics study is not bad, his motivation and interest in mathematics study are far from enough. I long for my children to meet a math teacher like Mr. Ren Yong. At the same time, I also want to give myself some nutrition. Then, with the help of these nutrition, I can grow up with my son. "Stones from other mountains can attack jade".
"I hate it when you give up easily" is a belief established by Mr. Lu when he just worked for two years: no child is willing to give up on himself. It is a well-cultivated private space, and it is also a door that does not allow poor students to enter. However, a girl who didn't want to give up on herself secretly stood behind the door and listened secretly. The students exclaimed when they found out, and the teacher's cold words-"It's useless to eavesdrop on what I said." However, the "laughing stock" conveyed by a letter, the booing of boys and the crying of girls all hit Mr. Lu's heart. "I imagined her eavesdropping behind the door, and I felt guilty! Even if her parents said that, she didn't give up on herself! She also needs the teacher's guidance, and even needs the teacher's attention and help more than those excellent children. " It was the spring of 1979, and since then, Teacher Lu has been insisting for 40 years.
"No child is willing to give up on himself. As a teacher, I have an obligation to help them than anyone else. " Teacher Lu said so and did the same.
In order to keep this poor student, Mr. Lu kept his promise. "Every Sunday and holiday, our family of three went to her house to work. When we were busy with farming, we also asked our relatives and friends to help us grab the seeds and harvest." When Wang Shuying was admitted to Pingdu Model School, she was worried about the tuition fee of 3,000 yuan. Teacher Lu is not afraid at all. His monthly salary is less than 400 yuan, so he borrows it from all his relatives and friends. "I worked in Guo Zhuang Middle School for 26 years. In this remote rural school, I have witnessed students who are on the verge of dropping out of school for various reasons. Unconsciously, I also spent more than 300 thousand for them. I am very surprised by these statistics. Many people don't understand this. This is not a teacher's duty. But when every desperate child looks at you, how can that look make the teacher refuse cruelly? ! Especially, when you are his only possibility ... "I remember Zhou said that the most basic quality of an excellent soul is kindness, and he was moved by life. Teacher Lu is such a person with an excellent soul.
Mou, a junior three student, once went to the police station for fighting. He is invulnerable and tempered. In the first class, he pretended to sleep on his stomach and made all kinds of strange noises from time to time, challenging Teacher Lu's patience. However, Teacher Lu was not angered by him, but played along, paid 20 yuan money to let him see a doctor, and praised Mou's spirit of learning despite illness when he didn't want to see a doctor. "In this class, I was particularly quiet and listened carefully, which made me see hope. I may have to spend more patience to arouse his sense of responsibility for himself, "said Mr. Lu.
I help Mou collect books, give individual counseling, get food and shelter at home, and look for it in the game hall. Finally, I sincerely arrived and the stone opened. That Sunday night, Mou, who was taken home by Teacher Lu in the game hall, said a surprising sentence in front of the teacher's waxy white face, silent acceptance and steaming food: "Teacher, I was wrong." This night became a turning point in Mou's life. Under Mr. Lu's insight, Mou's bright spot was constantly discovered and he became the vice monitor. Later, he joined the army and became an excellent sergeant.
From a tattered child, to an enthusiastic class cadre, to an excellent army sergeant, Mou's successful transformation makes people admire Mr. Lu's patience, self-confidence and wisdom, but at the same time, they can't help feeling that every child has a desire to get better. This point has also been theoretically expounded by positive psychology, which holds that there are two forces of resistance in everyone's heart, one is positive, including curiosity, humor, kindness and other qualities, and the other is negative, including anger, resentment and inferiority. According to positive psychology, "these two forces are like the yin and yang poles in Tai Chi, in a trade-off relationship: if individuals inject energy into positive forces and provide a psychological environment suitable for survival, then negative forces will decrease; On the contrary, if individuals themselves inject energy into negative forces and provide a psychological environment suitable for survival, then positive forces will decrease. "
Teacher Lu's words and deeds are precisely to help students cultivate the inner positive power of growing up, thus eliminating or inhibiting the negative aspects of human nature.
It's a child rescued by Teacher Lu from the cave of Internet addiction. The way to save is to awaken the child's inner kindness and goodwill with infinite expectation. When sticks, threats and entreaties were of no help, and it was difficult to control going out of the window after eating and sleeping with him for 27 days, Mr. Lu decided to change the blockage into sparse, take him to the office, pour water, take out instant noodles and biscuits, turn on the computer for him and let him have a good time.
"Yun Hao stood there motionless and looked at me with a straight face ..." I can imagine the sadness in Teacher Lu's heart, what a cold heart. "Yun Hao is a child of a single-parent family, and he lost his father's love. Despair for him and the uncertain future of this poor child also reminded me of sad memories in an instant. I lost my father when I was two years old, and my mother went through a lot of hardships to help me go to school. I have a common childhood with the children of this single-parent family, but when I came out, he was ... "Teacher Lu couldn't help but burst into tears. Seeing a little lost, Teacher Lu told him about his childhood and experience. "I was wrong, you don't be sad, I change. Teacher, I really changed this time! " After all, heartfelt apologies will be slowly verified in repetition, and internet addiction will be significantly reduced. A promise, finally became the final promise. My heart relaxed slowly, but I shed tears for a sympathetic word from Teacher Lu. Yes, "I just walked out, but he …", there are as many children who can't walk out as adults who have difficulties. If the adults who go out, especially educators, can pay attention to those children who are still sinking in despair with compassion, they can really open the door to the light of the little giant.
Protect the seeds of children's kindness and self-esteem and help them cultivate flowers of self-love and self-improvement. Like teachers, we firmly believe that "no child is willing to give up on himself, and we have no reason to give up on any of them." If you can hold on for a while, just hold on for a while. " (Ma Bao)
