There is nothing better in the world than a wonderful music lurking in the depths of people's hearts, which can awaken people who are willing to fall, music is more like a door to the pure human heart, let us walk into this door of music together, in the French countryside in 1949, Clement Matthew (Gerald Juno) did not have the opportunity to show his talents and became the superintendent of boarding schools. Most of the students here are children with difficult problems. Clement discovers that the principal is using high-pressure means to control the troubled teenagers, and Clement tries to use his own methods to compose some chorus songs in his spare time and use music to open the closed hearts of the students. One of the biggest troublemakers is Pierre Moanchi (Jean-Battie Morie), Pierre has an angelic face and singing voice but has a troublesome personality, and the seductive Clement discovers Pierre's musical talent, and he also develops a delicate relationship with Pierre's mother.
"Spring in the Cattle Herding Class" is a very touching film about a talented but talented composer Matthew who comes to a boarding system called "Bottom of the Pond" to study as a music teacher. The students there were a bunch of problem children, lying, fighting, stealing, smoking, foul-mouthing, teasing teachers, bullying classmates, as the school name means, a pile of stubborn rocks sinking at the bottom of the pond. Therefore, the only way to treat these children is to have a single "mistake-punishing" school rule, and corporal punishment and abuse of children for violating school rules are often the case. The heavier the punishment the student, the worse the behavior becomes; The worse the behavior, the heavier the punishment. Living in such an environment, children's hearts are distorted, and the souls that yearn for freedom collide violently with the cold and ruthless encounters, forming their extremely rebellious character.
The film uses a figurative approach to declare the failure of punishment education. At this time, Matthew came, and he used an educational experiment and three chapters of the covenant with the headmaster. He used his ego's expertise to form a choir of children, and at the same time asked the principal that he should find the perpetrators of his students' crimes and punish them in his own way, but that the names of the perpetrators should be kept secret by him. A miracle happened: this group of mischievous children gradually became gentle, humble, and even grateful.
Matthew succeeded. In addition to being moved, I couldn't help but think: why punishment education fails, why Matthew's education will succeed, it is not convincing to rely on punishment alone, the students' hearts are resistant, and the stronger the rebellious psychology, the more fierce the retaliatory sabotage. Mundane's eventual arson is a stark example. Matthew did the exact opposite. Matthew "shields" his students, much to the surprise and gratitude of students who are accustomed to being punished for their mistakes. In Matthew's eyes, every student's mistakes are forgivable, everyone is useful, and even individuals are geniuses. In Matthew's dealings with his students, I read about love, respect, forgiveness, and persistence. I guess that's why Matthew was successful.
When I think of myself, I feel a lot. We should also think more about the children and give them more respect and trust. Like when we encounter sometimes students who do not do homework, or do not abide by school discipline and school rules, they immediately contact parents and let parents cooperate with education, in fact, whether we should selectively protect the child's self-esteem, leave him the necessary space, and see if it can be corrected. I think for students who make mistakes, we should be tolerant. Tolerance in attitude can protect students' self-esteem; Tolerance of time, so that students have the opportunity to correct mistakes; Tolerance in handling allows students to learn to introspect. Education is a seed of love, and only by planting love in the hearts of students can it take root.
