I prepared some calligraphy works of Xiao Zhang for the teachers of the college in advance. They are surprised at our Teachers' Day. For some teachers who envy and hope to have Teacher's Day in Denmark in the future, I say to them: As long as we love our work, every day is Teacher's Day.
Because I want to transfer to a host family, I returned to the college early, turned on the computer and saw a short message from Jun Fu, saying that President Chen asked her to upload the full text of my letter to the campus network. I sent this letter to the school mailbox on October 8th, 65438/KLOC-0. The full text is as follows:
Dear President Chen and Secretary Wang,
September 10th is our Teachers' Day. I am far away in aalborg, a port city in northern jutland, and I would like to extend my holiday greetings to the teachers, especially Director Ma Ping and President Gao Hu, who have been working hard for me to go out and communicate, and two substitute teachers, Li Yan and Linlin. When I was working hard at rresundby College and enjoying the blue sky, white clouds and exotic scenery in Denmark's fourth largest city, I was thinking about my family, colleagues and friends. Since I started to work, the school has participated in the preparation or hosting of Teacher's Day activities every year. As Wang said, "I miss my family more every holiday", and Teacher's Day is a holiday that is not available in Denmark.
After coming to Denmark for nearly two weeks, I got a preliminary understanding of Danish hospitality and Danish secondary education. I listened to English, art and art theory, physical education, history and other courses, and participated in teaching, teaching some Chinese knowledge and Tai Ji Chuan's initial play. I introduced our school to Danish teachers and students, and initially established a good friendship with them. At the teacher-student meeting of the whole school this Tuesday, President S? Ren Hindsholm introduced me to the whole school. At the same time, I also have the teachers' home page of the campus network. Before that, I had given our brochures and bookmarks to the headmaster and personally wore our school emblem. He is very interested in our school, especially in the exchange of international friendship schools. At today's meeting, I gave him the school flag and my calligraphy works. When he introduced me to the teachers and students and relayed my explanation of the school flag and the connotation of calligraphy, the audience applauded.
I am presenting the school flag of Tianjin No.2 Middle School and my calligraphy work (Pic) to the principal of the school.
This school has more than 900 students and nearly 100 teachers. Danish 14 years old, so 18 years old students are very mature. In my opinion, their study and life are easy. They go to school at eight every day and finish school at three at the latest. Of course, many students have their own jobs, such as working in a supermarket. They take 70 minutes as a class. In most classes, teachers only spend 10 minutes before and after lectures, and students study or practice in groups at other times. However, students often actively discuss or raise their hands to ask questions, and the spirit of seeking is strong, and the effect of learning progress is also obvious. I think that if we cultivate talents, we can do it by understatement. Even if students are very active, their learning intensity and depth may not reach the level they should have. So I pay close attention to the whole education link and find many valuable details. For example, the school uses a school management information system, the first classroom, which shows the detailed work and study schedule of each teacher and student. Even down to the number of pages a student reads at a certain time, so I feel that we may not really understand the western education model, but they do have a set of good measures in teaching management.
I think what deserves our attention is students' sense of autonomy and participation. What I mean by autonomy includes: students actively study, actively communicate in group discussions, and actively ask questions and express in class; Students can decide what clothes to wear and when to do something; Students are willing to participate in social practice and get relevant experience and remuneration. My sense of participation includes: students are optimistic and generous to participate in various activities; Willing to show their talents and participate in learning what they like; Students welcome the performance of others and encourage each other. Of course, their students also have many shortcomings, but the harmony of the overall environment can positively affect everyone, so most students are mature and versatile, which is somewhat similar to what we call quality education. For example, in the art class, students learn to paint shells for the first time, and the teacher teaches the skills of using colors, rather than sticking to the brushwork and external modeling of painting, so even a shell has different painting effects for different students, but it can stimulate students' imagination and cultivate their originality. For children who are not art majors, I think this is enough and the effect is good. The next day, there is an art class in this class, and the students have already used colors.
Even so, I still think their students can't compare with us in many aspects, such as long-distance love with teachers. I once carried a wallet for an old teacher, but she was surprised. Besides praising me as a gentleman, she asked me who taught me to be so polite. I replied that it was my parents and teachers. She said that in Denmark, schools don't teach students how to be so polite, so I can't see the phenomenon that students carry purses to their teachers. This reminds me of our traditional virtue, which is superior to foreign countries. Once carried forward, it will produce great cohesion. If it is not carried forward, it will certainly produce great cohesion. The teacher was very surprised at my help to her and said that she would mention it for me next week, which shows that the west always pays little attention to human feelings, unlike us. They pay two parts for a bottle of mineral water, water and bottle, and two train tickets, tickets and seats. Obviously, they should learn human feelings from us, and we should also learn rules from them. Even if we can see all kinds of humanized phenomena here, for example, when the stroller gets off, the bus will lean to the right for convenience, but that is already a rule. China's education, regardless of traditional inheritance or system reform, is often emotional, failing to organically combine sensibility with rationality-human will and rules. This is my reflection.
