Professor Wang: Then I ask, what should you do if you meet a child who refuses to do math? Do you have any clever ideas? (No) Then I didn't. This is an eternal problem for mankind, and it will definitely happen. You can't blame reading classics. I mean, reading classics is like general education. It's not that reading classics is particularly boring, especially if the method is right, and a large proportion of people are interested.
Everyone cannot be asked to be interested, because there are children who are not interested in any education. There are always fewer children who are not interested in reading classics than in learning mathematics, but we have been trying to teach mathematics. Why not try to teach reading classics? I often ask parents, is your child interested in mathematics? No. Haven't you taught it? He said it doesn't matter if you don't teach! Is your child interested in reading the Bible? No. Do you teach? Forget it if you're not interested. He said that he didn't read the Bible because he had an exam in math. So your child is studying for the exam? He said yes, then the parent is hopeless, not that the parent is hopeless, but that his child is hopeless.
Therefore, if education is necessary, you should try to teach it, even if you are not interested. Besides, reading classics conforms to his learning characteristics. If you teach for a long time and teach more, he will be interested. Many people will watch it together, and I seldom see uninterested children.
For most people who think they are not interested in reading the Bible, first of all, their parents think they are not interested before teaching. Secondly, your method is not suitable, because you haven't given him time to read it many times and let him recite it to me. Of course, he is in pain, so he is not interested. Moreover, most people don't read the Bible, and he is the only one who feels lonely and not interested. So if these conditions can be solved, I dare not say that every child is interested in reading classics, but I can say that reading classics is the subject that children are most interested in. I don't believe we should try it. If the curriculum of the Ministry of Education stipulates that every child needs to recite the Analects of Confucius, then there will be five classes and six classes to read the Bible every week. The method is that the teacher takes him to read 100 many times, most of them will recite it, and most of them are interested. Everyone is reading. You recite it to me and I recite it to you. Some children can't recite, but the teacher says, you have made progress. Why? Because even if you can't recite it, you have read it a hundred times. So there is no one who is not interested, because you are not interested and don't blame him. This is what is called effective education.
So I have no interest in reading classics. We can't blame the Bible reading education itself, but the supporting facilities for Bible reading. We should create such supporting facilities (there is no such atmosphere). In the absence of supporting facilities, I still want to encourage knowledgeable teachers and parents to try their best to teach Bible reading. As long as you grasp the basic concept of Bible reading education, give him a chance, don't emphasize grades, and appreciate him more, every child likes reading the Bible. So don't be afraid to read the Bible. If I am still afraid of someone my child is not interested in, I will judge him as a person who does not understand the principles of education. Therefore, a person's thinking should be more active. When encountering a problem, he must first study the key situation of the problem. What is the key to not being interested in reading classics? Is it your fantasy, or is it really like this? If so,
Because the education of reading classics is just in line with the child's learning nature, he is interested in principle, or he will not be uninterested in principle. I have taught children who read classics for more than ten years. As long as my parents are enthusiastic, I am a teacher. Of course, my enthusiasm is enough. Encourage more and don't ask too much. In this way, he will gradually show himself. When a person has a sense of accomplishment, he will love learning. I have hardly seen children who don't like reading classics, especially the earlier they start reading, the less interested they are. In other words, if you don't like reading classics, your parents' enthusiasm is not enough. Sometimes teachers are not motivated enough, or they have brought other study habits. Some children at the age of seven, eight and ten are really rejected at first, because the general learning method is to be understood, and he is used to it, and there will be a process of rejection. But one teacher spoke very well. Even if my student is not interested in reading classics, I will teach him to be interested. This is one of the duties of teachers. If parents and teachers say that my children are not interested, I will not teach, then this is an irresponsible parent. I asked if I should teach. If it should be taught, you should try your best to make him interested in learning. Otherwise, education is completely shirking responsibility. So let's assume that there are no uninterested children. If he doesn't show interest, there must be some reason to solve it. Therefore, as teachers and parents, we should have endless confidence and sincerity. I don't believe there are children who don't like reading classics.
Here's an example. A mother found her child in kindergarten. One day, she got up wearing shoes, but she didn't know what she was looking at. After listening carefully, she was reading Su Dongpo's "Fu on the Red Wall", and her parents were very surprised. She not only knows how to recite, but also likes it very much. Even her shoes were looked at, so her parents didn't bother him. She was wearing clothes all the time and was still watching when she was sent out. Why? Because he is familiar with it. Therefore, there are many ways to arouse children's interest. We adults were enthusiastic just now, and his peers were studying. And he has been studying since he was a child. After a period of study, he made achievements. He designed an achievement hall. This sense of accomplishment is the best key to maintain his interest. Therefore, to make him achieve something as much as possible is to let him read more books, and his achievements will be encouraged, so more encouragement is also a good way to generate interest.
