Many people know that grades are directly proportional to the degree of effort, so many teachers like to restrain us in behavior, thinking that if we work hard outside, we will get something, try to reduce the rest time as much as possible, always pay attention to our little tricks, and try to make up lessons for us when something happens. Once students are found to be lax, they will formulate stricter class rules and give us a heavy task, so that we can't relax at all. Such a teacher really pays a lot. They are pleased to see the outstanding students they have "cultivated", but they also feel worthy of students with poor grades. They complain that they are so ignorant and sigh helplessly, so they continue to "cultivate" other students. However, students can only guess from numerous constraints and harsh punishment systems, is it really out of conscience that teachers torture us so much, or do they regard students as props for promotion and salary increase?
This misunderstanding can actually be avoided, because there are actually two mistakes in this educational method. First of all, teachers and students are very tired and bitter under such education. Not only is the body very tired, but it may also cause a heavy shadow psychologically. Because children are cheerful, lively and comfortable by nature, they have to cope with the rules and regulations at school and complete the tasks assigned by the teacher. If they are slightly inappropriate, they will be criticized. Children who grow up in this environment are lonely at heart, but there is no room to choose what they like all day. Knowledge is that the dead are alive, but schools should serve the living, and schools work with intimidation and authority. This practice hurts students' healthy emotions, honest self-confidence, and creates submissive people.
The second reason is that a new word "sense of meaning" has been introduced here! Recall that the two people at the beginning of the article have the same workload but different attitudes. One of them always passively accepts the tasks assigned by the teacher, but the numb complaints are helpless to complete. There is no sense of meaning in the process, and he can't experience why he should do it. If negative, zero and positive values are used to express his performance, his best level is zero, because he just wants to deal with the teacher, and he can finish the task himself, just expecting himself to be safe and not injured. But for another person, his enthusiasm is not only to complete the task, but also to understand the meaning of what he has done, to understand its beautiful side, and gradually become crazy about it! This attitude will not only do good deeds happily, but also produce miracles. Taking illness as an analogy, in traditional education, "being sick means treating diseases", which increases the academic and learning burden. In the positive education mode, "if you are sick, it is because you are not healthy enough. You should pursue what makes you healthy and what makes you healthy, do what you like, pursue a meaningful life and pursue the purpose of life." . When you are sick, you should pay attention to your health, cultivate your own ability, cultivate your own strengths, and cultivate a sense of meaning in learning! "In fact, the ability to be positive is to create a strong immune system, that is to say, to get sick less, even if you are sick, you can pursue your dreams with an optimistic attitude, feel that everything is meaningful, get well as soon as possible, and no one's life is smooth sailing. However, in traditional education, teachers wear their own immune system and try to "correct" the children who make mistakes, but they lose their immunity. ..
Here is a successful case about positive education. Marva collins, an American black female teacher, went to Chicago where crime and drugs were rampant. Teachers want children to stay in school as long as possible, because then they 12 years old will not join the streets, get in touch with drugs earlier and commit crimes. "How can we keep our children in school?" Facing this reality, marva collins said, "Things will change." On the first day of class, she taught the first grade to the last grade and told the students: "Practice self-confidence." She kept repeating the message. The whole semester is like playing a record. Finally, I always told the students, "I believe you, you can do well, you can succeed, take responsibility, stop complaining, stop complaining about the government, stop complaining about teachers, stop complaining about parents, and success depends on yourself." She kept repeating the message. She is full of expectations for children, pays attention to their strengths and advantages, and cultivates them. Miracles began to happen. These children, who are considered "unteachable" by teachers, can read many famous books. These "unteachable" children can do high school mathematics at the age of 10. Why can children taught in marva collins stay in the classroom for so long? When other students like to leave school early, there are rumors that Marva collins forced the children to stay in school. Marva collins was injured in the rumor, so she left school and set up her own school. At first there were only four students, two of whom were her children, but the number of students gradually increased. All the children who started to go in dropped out of public schools. Marva collins is their last hope to become street hooligans. As the miracle continued and more and more people came, she rented a small room nearby. Although it is cool in Leng Xia in winter, students are driven by enthusiasm, children continue to study, and miracles happen constantly. Marva collins' students all graduated from high school and all went to college. Her life for ten years was very difficult because most students couldn't afford the tuition, but she got through it month after month. 1979 became famous overnight because of the CBS report. Later, President Reagan asked her to be the Minister of Education, but she refused because she was keen on teaching. Eight years later, Clinton was also invited to be elected president and was rejected for the same reason. "I think I did a good job. I think I am smart. I think I am special. I will teach every child to think that when they break the rules, they will be punished. They will write 100 reasons to explain why they are so good at doing things like that. These reasons will be written in alphabetical order. I'm cute. I am beautiful. I am brave. I'm delirious. I am full of enthusiasm. I'm great. I'm recovering. I'm worshipped. I'm amazing. Until the last letter. Once again, you can only use other synonyms. Now children will say to freshmen, I know why you are acting, because I hate telling marva collins how great you are! "
"Teachers, so preach and teach to solve doubts", the significance of preaching and teaching lies in making students become a harmonious development person! Not a textbook megaphone! Therefore, students should not be allowed to be inferior photocopiers in class, and they should be busy writing down what the teacher said in the notebook. But to guide them to chase their dreams with sweat! Marva collins has strict management methods, but respects every child. Marva collins has high expectations for everyone, but not those unfounded expectations. She can see everyone's potential and let it play out. You know, potential is like a seed. Give it water and sunshine and it will germinate. But it is always in a dry and dark corner, and it can only wither after a while. ....
