Sunlight dappled through the dense foliage on the school's playground. A group of students were taking a break when several of the boys got together, secretly took out their cigarette cases, and lit a cigarette. They thought they were hidden, but they didn't expect this scene to be fully watched by the headmaster who happened to pass by.
The principal's surname is Li, and he is a middle-aged man who usually smiles and gives people an amiable feeling. But at this moment, his face became serious. He walked up to the boys and whispered, "Smoking is not good for your health, you know?"
The boys were startled by the sudden appearance of the principal, and the cigarette in their hand fell to the ground. They looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Principal Li picked up the cigarette on the ground, sighed, and said, "I know you may think that smoking is cool and mature. But in fact, this is just an act of self-deception. Now is the time for you to grow your body, and smoking will only harm your health. ”
One of the boys whispered, "We just want to try it, we don't smoke it often." ”
Principal Li shook his head: "It won't work if you try. Once you get addicted to smoking, it's hard to quit. And, did you know that smoking is not only harmful to your health, but it also affects the people around you. Your family, your friends, will be hurt by your smoking. ”
When the boys heard this, they all lowered their heads and remained silent. They knew the principal was right, but they found it hard to resist the brief thrill and pleasure.
Principal Li looked at them and knew in his heart that these children needed guidance and education, not simple punishment. So, he came up with a way to both make the children realize their mistakes and learn from them.
He said, "Well, I won't punish you directly." But you need to take responsibility for your actions. I'm going to give you the task of spending the next month to understand the dangers of smoking, collect relevant data and information, and then write a report on the dangers of smoking. In a month's time, we will share your results at the school assembly. ”
The boys looked at each other, a little surprised by the way the principal handled it. They thought they would face severe punishment, but they didn't expect the principal to give them such an opportunity to reflect and learn.
One of the boys hesitated and asked, "Headmaster, can we really do this?"
Principal Li smiled and nodded: "Of course you can." I am confident that you are capable of accomplishing this task. It is also a great learning opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the dangers of smoking. ”
The boys agreed and promised to complete the task seriously.
Over the next month, the boys got busy. In their spare time, they searched for information on the Internet, read relevant books, and even went to the hospital to consult a doctor. They gradually learn about the various dangers of smoking, including lung cancer, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, and so on. They also learned that smoking can also cause secondhand smoke to those around them.
In the process of preparing the report, the boys gradually realized their mistakes. They begin to reflect on their behavior and decide not to smoke again in the future. They also took the initiative to educate their friends and family about the dangers of smoking, hoping to make more people aware of the problem.
A month later, at the all-school assembly, the boys stood on the podium and shared their reports with the whole school. They used vivid language and detailed data to show everyone the dangers of smoking. Their speeches aroused the resonance and deep thought of the teachers and students present.
After listening to the report, Principal Li smiled and nodded. "It's good that you've learned about the dangers of smoking and you've made an effort to correct your mistakes," he said. I'm sure you won't make the same mistake again in the future. ”
After hearing this, the boys felt very grateful and proud. They know that this experience not only made them realize their mistakes, but also made them grow a lot. They begin to appreciate their bodies and health more, and they also respect and understand the people around them more.
Principal Li's handling of the matter has been appreciated and recognized by all teachers and students in the school. Instead of simply punishing the students, he made the students realize their mistakes and learn from them by guiding and educating them. This kind of education not only makes students more aware of the dangers of smoking, but also teaches them how to face and correct their mistakes.
At the same time, this incident has also attracted widespread attention and discussion in the school. Teachers and students began to pay more attention to the health and behavioral habits of those around them, and actively advocated a healthy lifestyle. The school has also carried out a series of health education activities aimed at improving students' health awareness and self-protection skills.
According to statistics, since that incident, the number of students smoking in schools has decreased significantly, and the importance of health among students has also increased significantly. All this is thanks to the wisdom and guidance of Principal Li, who gave a vivid and profound health education lesson to the students in his own way.
Time flies, and the boys who used to smoke have now grown up. When they recalled that experience, they were filled with emotion. They thanked Principal Li for his education and guidance, which allowed them to realize their mistakes and embark on the right path in life. They are also grateful that the experience made them cherish their bodies and health more and become better people.
This story teaches us that education is not only about imparting knowledge, but more importantly about guiding students to the right path in life. Sometimes, a gentle and wise way of educating is more likely to make students recognize their mistakes and grow from them than severe punishments. Principal Li's handling not only made the students aware of the dangers of smoking, but also taught them how to face and correct their mistakes, so that they could become more mature and excellent people.
