There is no atmosphere of individual counseling.
Offering free composition classes
Sweet mother's name is Gan Lin, who lives in Baolikang Bridge Community in Shapingba District. Sweet mother's screen name comes from her daughter's nickname, sweet.
Gan Lin used to be a high school Chinese teacher in Qingzhen No.5 Middle School in Guiyang. After giving birth to Tian Tian, she left school to take care of her children. Last year, when my daughter was in the third grade, Gan Lin began to help her write a composition.
"One person teaches her that there is no atmosphere." Gan Lin said that as a Chinese teacher, she knew that the third grade was the primary stage of children's writing, but she found that teaching a child alone was very different from teaching a class before, and the effect was not good.
"I, not my daughter, will write the composition." Gan Lin said that her daughter likes to ask questions and always asks questions when writing a composition. How to write at the beginning of the composition? Should this sentence end with a period or a question mark? What should I write next? Because my mother taught me, my daughter has almost no thoughts of her own and her homework is not dignified. My daughter has no sense of urgency to finish it on her own initiative.
How to create a class atmosphere at home? Gan Lin thought of a way: gather her friends and her daughter together and let them learn to write a composition. She taught them for free.
"Posting on the Internet, the effect is good, a total of more than 10 children were found, and 6 people persisted. By studying together, everyone has made progress, interacted, shared and opened their minds. " Gan Lin said that the children are also very active in completing their homework. "If not completed, I don't criticize. However, the completed children will be rewarded with stars and accumulate enough stars. I will take everyone out to play, so everyone works hard to supervise the distribution of stars. "
Li Jinyi lives in Jiangbei and goes to Gan Lin's home for composition class every week. "I'm not in the mood. I'm very active and I don't give up halfway." Li Jinyi's mother said.
Write a natural composition topic
Children can only copy online.
Composition teaching takes about two hours once a week. However, after a semester has passed, there is no way to continue this semester.
"In the first semester, everyone mainly wrote Chinese characters, and children were more familiar with the various writing methods of Chinese characters." Gan Lin said that last semester, her composition class focused on character description, and the children's writing materials were rich, so they could write about their parents, grandparents and classmates. "These characters often appear in life, so it's not that difficult to write."
This semester, she wants to help children describe nature. In the first class, the topic assigned by Gan Lin is to write a composition about flowers. "When the composition was handed to me, the children wrote very well, but when I checked it, it turned out to be copied online." Gan Lin said that when children were asked why, they all said it was because they had not observed flowers much.
Gan Lin told reporters that before her daughter wanted to write about peach blossoms, she didn't know how to answer one question after another: "Mom, what does peach blossom look like, what is its fragrance, and when will it bloom?" After that, Gan Lin had to suspend his composition class.
Gan Lin also believes that every time she visits the supermarket, when her daughter asks for a certain vegetable or fruit, if it is not in season, Gan Lin will stop her and tell her that it is unhealthy to eat vegetables out of season.
"What can I eat this season? Why are these vegetables available every season? " The daughter's problem made Gan Lin discover that the children in the city are too strange to nature.
On second thought, last month, she simply built a mountain in Banqiao Village, Sansheng Town, Beibei District, and planted fruit trees, vegetables and weeds. "I want this place to be my daughter's growth base, so that she can weed, grow potatoes and dig potatoes here and get to know nature at close range."
For my daughter.
I also want to test water, educate and start a business.
Chen Wenquan, a villager who rented this mountain to Gan Lin in Banqiao Village, Sansheng Town, told reporters that the mountain contracted by Gan Lin was about 20 mu. "Surrounded by mountains, there is a dam in the middle, and vegetables and citrus trees are planted on the mountains."
"The contract price per mu is calculated according to the crop yield." Xiao Chen said that it is not convenient to disclose the specific amount because the two sides signed a confidentiality agreement. The reporter found out that the price of Baoshan varies according to the location and the crops planted. For example, in Zhongliangshan area, contracted vegetable fields are per mu 1 10,000 yuan per year.
"I will let the children have a farming experience, and ask local farmers to be teachers and teach them when to sow each vegetable or plant and when to weed and harvest. Throughout the process, the children personally participate, and with intuitive feelings, writing a composition will be meaningful. " Gan Lin said that it doesn't matter if there is a natural disaster and the harvest is not good. At that time, combined with the actual situation, she will tell the children that many crops depend on the weather, and the weather determines the increase or decrease of output. This is new knowledge.
For my daughter to write a composition, I will cover more than 20 acres. Is the investment too big? "She will encounter other problems in the future. I can't always develop new things to cooperate with her, so I should find something to stay as a lifelong career. It seems impulsive to shelter my daughter from the wind and rain. In fact, it is because there is still the motivation to start a business-this will also be my base for studying and starting a business. Teaching in nature and letting children experience farming should also be a good commercial project. " Gan Lin said.
"Not the madness of a madman."
This is crazy. Crazy. "
Reporter: Has anyone ever said that your practice is a little crazy?
Gan Lin: They say I'm a crazy mother, and I agree. Either crazy or crazy.
Reporter: contracting more than 20 acres of land is for children to write a good composition? Still want to start a business to make money?
Gan Lin: There is no contradiction between the two. Turn this mountain into a paradise for children to learn. The classroom is natural and my daughter will definitely benefit from it. If many parents agree with this idea, it is certainly a good entrepreneurial project, a career that I can fight for all my life.
Reporter: Do children come here to simply relax, or do they pretend to play and improve their composition scores by doing what they like?
Gan Lin: It's parents' idea to really play fake games, not children's feelings. If the child is happy, that is a real joke. If the child is unhappy, it is a fake joke and has nothing to do with the parents' purpose. Education and guidance for children is anytime and anywhere, and it is very casual.
Take children to experience nature.
You can't play outdoors.
Climbing trees, rolling down the hillside, camping in the wild, building nests, throwing stones into the water, catching fish with fishing nets, and picking fruits from trees to eat ... Last week, Airport New Town Experimental Primary School in Yubei District announced some special assignments for students-completing 50 games. The reporter learned that many of these 50 games are related to nature.
"Aside from the cost of mountains, most students should prefer it from the perspective of experiential learning in nature." Yesterday, Mr. Hu, director of the Academic Affairs Office of Airport New Town Experimental Primary School, talked about Ganlin Baoshan, saying that there is indeed a situation in which students do not distinguish between grains. Participating in farming experience can really help children understand how nature works.
Teacher Hu also admitted that this kind of experience must have a purpose and children cannot be allowed to play freely. "With a purpose, guide them to observe and think. In this process, parents also need to do their homework in advance. If you don't guide children, they don't know what grows in Shan Ye, how long the growth period is, and they don't understand anything, which wastes the opportunity to experience. " Teacher Hu said.
