Guard the tranquility
Author: Wu Biaohua
More and more like to accompany students to the feeling of evening self-study, especially when they are running around, when they encounter unpleasant things.
I was on the podium, reading books, preparing lessons, grading assignments; students were below, practicing words, preparing, and completing assignments. The classroom was quiet, except for the rustling of writing and the sound of turning pages. The occasional flickering lights outside the window and the occasional singing in the square add to the tranquility of the classroom.
In such a tranquility, reading books can quickly enter the world of books, lesson preparation often has fantastic ideas, and grading homework is not known how much faster than usual. More importantly, I can quietly think about my own thoughts and quietly listen to the long call of the years.
Occasionally, I looked up and felt that I was in front of me a verdant field, and the seedlings were swaying in the wind. I couldn't help but cut my hands back, walked off the podium, and bent down one by one to look closely, like a farmer listening to the sound of jointing...
In fact, the best education is companionship, companionship with heart, and companionship with love. No amount of rules and regulations, no amount of bitterness, can withstand a gentle sitting on this podium. As soon as you sit down, the student is quiet, and they know what to do and what to do with their hearts.
Excitement and restlessness are the nature of children. Taming nature, not to say a few words, a few scoldings can work, you have to create a quiet atmosphere, infect the child with the atmosphere, let its impetuousness calm down little by little.
This requires the teacher to be able to be quiet first.
If you are impetuous and restless, how can you make the students' hearts stop like water without distractions! Even if you sit on the podium, you convey an anxious mood and render an uneasy atmosphere.
After being a class teacher for more than twenty years, what is deeply difficult is not to get up early and go dark, not to work overtime, but to be lonely without distraction. I also finally understood that the real tiredness is not how many things are done at a time, but how many things you want to do at the same time.
Guarding tranquility is actually keeping one's heart.
