A few days ago, Xiao Fan Ma watched an Indian movie "Hiccup Teacher" and was very moved.
An article commented on the film, saying, "The coolest thing in the world is to influence life with life." ”
It's a great generalization.
This film is adapted from the novel "In Front of the Pulpit", which tells the story of The heroine Nana, who suffers from Tourette's disease, overcomes many obstacles and realizes her dream of becoming a teacher, and at the same time uses love, faith and wisdom to "transform" a group of poor students who smoke and fight, and "transform" good students with good adult character and good learning.
It can be said that the impossible task has been completed.
First, a brief introduction to the plot.
The protagonist, Naina, has suffered from Tourette's disease since childhood, and often involuntarily convulses, shakes her head, and makes strange noises.
Because of this disease, she was bullied by her classmates and repeatedly persuaded by the school to quit, and even her father felt that her daughter was so "dog barking" on any occasion, which made him very humiliated.
When Naina grew up, despite her excellent grades, with a double bachelor's degree in education and a master's degree in science, no school was willing to hire her as a teacher.
For her dreams, she insisted on it for 5 years, drawing comics part-time while continuing to submit resumes.
Finally, she was admitted to a school she attended as a child.
However, the school hired her only because there was an urgent need to find a teacher for the poor students in Class F.
Except for Naina, no one wants to teach this group of bad students who only smoke, wear makeup, and tease the teacher.
Even though it was a chore that no one wanted to do, Naina gladly accepted it.
Because she has love for her children and enthusiasm for education, she is also very confident in her own education methods.
How did Naina turn decay into magic, bring a group of bad kids who had been abandoned by the school back to the regular, and improve their grades from failing to 90 points in 4 months?
To sum up, Teacher Naina used the following 3 powerful methods.
On the first day of her teaching, Ms. Naina first saw this group of students in the school's auditorium instead of the classroom.
Some of them smoked, some drank, some put on makeup, some played cards, and in short, there was no bit of what a student should look like.
If you think that's all "bad students", that's naïve.
In the days that followed, they came up with all sorts of tricks against the teacher.
Break the chair and make the teacher fall out of the mess.
The teacher's photos and phones were plastered all over the streets, and the teacher was constantly harassed.
They even converted chalk into miniature explosives that would explode at a moment's notice, and put liquid nitrogen in the trash can in the classroom, causing the explosion.
Such "treatment", for any other teacher, will immediately be angry.
Even the principal agreed to suspend the children, not wanting to give them another chance.
At this time, the biggest victim, Teacher Naina, stood up to carry the pot for them and helped them say good things.
"Even if it's a prank, you can see that they have a plan, a vision and wisdom," she said. ”
She also patted her chest to ensure that with the right way to channel and educate, "they will make us proud!" ”
As adults, more often as parents, any of us can easily see the "bad" of our children, which is almost an instinct, not difficult at all.
But it is even more difficult to be like Naina's teacher, through mischief, even bad behavior, to see the shining points that are covered by "bad".
This requires us to let go of our protection for ourselves, to let go of the emotions of being provoked by children, and to calmly observe and think.
"What exactly does the child's behavior mean? Have I been blinded by anger and blinded to my child's sparkles? ”
For example, when a child puts a cookie in his pocket, he may want to take it home and share it with you, but you can't see his kindness because his clothes are dirty.
A child beats someone, perhaps to defend his classmates, but because of this wrong practice, you can't see his justice.
Children love to draw, probably because you once said "the painting is awesome", but you can't see his talent and his care about you because it will affect learning.
Every child has a shining point.
If we only look at the shortcomings of the child, he will become inferior, irritable, and worse and worse.
But if we can first see the child's advantages and affirm his advantages, he can use the light of the advantages to dilute those shortcomings, become confident and sunny, and dare to dream.
When raising children, we always like to use preaching.
The advantage is that it is very easy, just move the lips, who will not talk about the big truth?
The downside is that it doesn't work very well.
Naina's second way is to change the way she preaches and accompany her children to experience it.
When the children were in trouble and almost suspended from school, Teacher Naina stood up to carry the pot for them and helped them win the opportunity to continue their schooling.
At the same time, Teacher Naina also broke a small section with chalk, so that she would no longer make a harsh sound, so that the children understood that a little change would make everything different.
When the children questioned how they could study well because they had mediocre qualifications and no talent, Teacher Naina and the children sat in a circle and asked Lafende, who was good at gambling, to help everyone calculate how much money they could make from gambling.
Lafende killed the calculator with his heart, and he understood that his talent in mathematics should not be wasted.
When the children were always complaining, discouraged, and unwilling to try hard, Naina asked everyone to spend ten minutes thinking about it and writing down the most feared and disgusting aspects of their bodies on paper.
Then lead everyone to fold the paper into a paper airplane, turn the fear into strength, and drag themselves to fly.
Why is it always so effective to experience with children?
This is because:
First, language is always easy to forget, but the events experienced together can make people impress and remember deeply.
Second, when preaching, we are always right, the child is always wrong, because the position has become hostile, so the child will instinctively resist us.
But when we go through and accomplish something with our children, we are on the side, we are allies, we are friends.
Third, when experiencing a thing together, the child will think and understand for himself, so that the truth obtained is truly what belongs to the child.
There is such a passage in the book "Raising Boys".
"The emotional connection between men comes from activities in which they participate together, not from conversations. Mothers must learn to stand shoulder to shoulder with their sons, rather than face to face. ”
I thought the same would apply to girls.
If you want to teach your child a truth, instead of chattering, it is better to experience one thing with him.
It can be to accompany the child to pick up garbage for a day and let him understand the meaning of hard work.
It can be a cleaning with the child, so that he understands the meaning of family responsibilities.
It can be to accompany him to run a step and let him understand the meaning of persistence.
These experiences, even if they have passed a long time, will still replace you and support the child to move forward.
In addition to educating people, Teacher Naina is very wise and has a good teaching set.
She used throwing eggs to teach children parabolas in mathematics, and used the example of children avoiding eggs to talk about Newton's laws of motion in physics.
She also took the children to determine the quality, temperature, and height of the basketball to verify the law of conservation of energy.
Understand cohesion and adhesion using experimental methods.
Is this way of learning just fun?
Of course not.
Teacher Nai Na links knowledge with life and lets the children participate in it, so that the knowledge learned is felt, remembered, contextual, and easy to apply.
So the children of Class F can easily see the mistakes in the Class A student project.
Isn't that the real purpose of our learning?
Understand, master, and then apply.
More importantly, in this process, children develop an interest in learning and the ability to think.
Then again, knowledge should be linked to life and applied to life, and everyone understands this truth, but not many people really do it.
Parents like Naina teachers who teach their children are even fewer.
In fact, this advanced method of education is not difficult, just a little troublesome.
For example, take the child to do hands-on, do science experiments.
For example, when you start math, accompany your child to weigh how heavy the apple is and how high the toy is.
For example, when learning the theorems, check together who found it, what story is behind it, and how it is applied in life.
These seemingly troublesome little things can not only make children learn more thoroughly and remember more firmly, but also make children really love learning and be good at learning.
I think this is the real difference between a bully and a scum.
Today, through the movie "Hiccup Teacher", I shared with you 3 wisdom methods for teaching children to be human and learn.
One of Naina's mantras is, "There are no bad students, only bad teachers." ”
This sentence is the same in family education, "There are no bad children, only bad parents." ”
May you be a good parent like Naina, who lives with love and wisdom.
