Walking out of the university door, I stepped onto the three-foot podium and took on the role of class teacher. Looking back on the bits and pieces of the past year, I have a lot of thoughts. There are songs and laughter with innocent children, but also helplessness and frustration that hate iron is not steel and have more than enough but insufficient strength... In the face of these ignorant children, I have been tolerant, irritable, and hopeful. But I firmly believe that as long as you never give up, every seed will blossom into a flower of hope.
Seeds of hope
I remember when I first came to this school and took over this class, the teachers of the school always shook my head and smiled helplessly when they saw me. I didn't know it at the time, so soon I learned what was different about this class.
It's hard to imagine that on the first day of school, in the first class, when you were introducing yourself and the class rules on the stage, there was a student lying on the ground below, sometimes talking to himself, sometimes yelling. At the time, I simply thought it was a prank. Every now and then, I always had to stop and smile at him and say, "The teacher knows you want to express yourself, and I will give you time to show yourself in a moment!" ”。 But within three minutes, he was "in its original form" again.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg, and more importantly, in class, when you're talking to it, you find that there's no one in a seat. It turned out that he quietly climbed from under the table to under the other tables and began the "pickpocket" work. Sit in your seat for no more than 3 minutes in class, basically lying on the ground all day long. Therefore, with a nickname of "crawling all over the ground", the whole school became famous.
During the exam, someone else was working on the paperwork and he was sleeping
Even sometimes, when you lecture on the left, he climbs to the right and performs funny moves. Usually often cause trouble, stand in line to do exercises never go, snatch food from other people's hands... You can imagine what a headache this is for a student!
For my first year at work, it was really Alexander, living a life of fear every day, waiting for him to create a "surprise" for me, but the days had to go on. I found his original homeroom teacher, Teacher He, who directly waved his hand and said, "He has no medicine to save him", and when he talked about him, he was still angry. I went to the principal again, and the principal said, "Since he has come to the school and entered your class, you must find a way to manage him well, take this class well, and have time to communicate with the parents!" ”。 So, I did another home visit, and the parents also said with a helpless face: "It's the same at home, and scolding doesn't work." He's in school, and as long as nothing goes wrong, we don't ask for his grades. ”。
In this way, many parties failed. I often asked other teachers for discipline, but when they heard that it was the student, they stopped speaking, and advised me to seek more blessings and go to the classroom to watch more tightly, as long as there was no accident in the class. I also repeatedly "coerced and seduced" him, but with little success. The only improvement was that he never had to find another classmate in class.
In the process of constantly thinking and observing, I came up with another method. In class meetings, I held a "Find The Strengths" activity. I called a few of the most mischievous children in the class to the podium, asked the students below to find their strengths, raised their hands and spoke, and the whole class was very active. Later, I sent him to the podium and asked everyone to find out his merits. The whole class looked at me with a surprised face, and even some students whispered: "Does Dai Bingyi have advantages?" The teacher will not be wrong, let's find his shortcomings! "Then, I spoke. I told them, "Everyone has merits, and as long as you are good at observing and discovering, you can find them."
Not long after, some students raised their hands and said, "He didn't enter the classroom by himself before, but now he can enter the classroom by himself." ","He knows the queue for meals", "He never arrives late for school"... Listening to the speeches of my classmates, I secretly observed his performance, only to see that he listened very seriously, sometimes scratching his head, sometimes grinning. Finally, I concluded.
"Each of us has advantages, as long as we are good at discovering, just like our Dai Bingyi classmates, we have not found a lot just now." But the same has shortcomings, the teacher believes that as long as everyone seriously corrects the shortcomings and carries forward the advantages, we will be able to do better. Subsequently, I listed some of his shortcomings. I said, "From today on, we will help him correct himself and believe that he will definitely get better and better."
Since then, I have often heard in recess, "Dai Bingyi, you can't do that to other people's things", "Dai Bingyi, why are you looking for food in the trash can, how dirty!" "Dai Bingyi, the stool should be set up after school"... Slowly, I found that there was very little to lose in the classroom, he no longer took the things of his classmates casually, he could take the initiative to set up a stool after school, and sometimes he would say hello when he saw the teacher. It can be seen how great the power of the masses is!
After school, you can know to say hello to the teacher
By now, a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and his progress has been even greater. I was able to sit in the seat of the whole class, and occasionally took out a pen to write and draw; I never heard a classmate complain that Dai Bingyi had stolen something; and I could also help the daily students on duty to clean up. Even the teachers at the school said, "Dai Bingyi's progress in this year is really great." Even one day, he brought a few oranges and handed them to me, saying, "Teacher Ning, this is the orange I gave you." ”
At that time, my heart was full of emotions, but more than that, I was relieved. Although his grades are still very poor, I think that the focus of education should not be on the deficit of every child? Of course, he was not the only "problem student" in our class. Although they are different and the situation is different, it is much easier to manage than him. As long as they take care of them and teach patiently, they can thrive in the right direction. Because, I always believe, every child is an angel. So, don't give up easily, use your patience and love to care for them, and they will be able to give people hope.
The joy of teachers and students growing together
