Teacher Ma Xiaoping
Ma Xiaoping, an unknown ordinary person, I learned about his deeds in 2012 through a documentary "Fire Thief", directed by Deng Kangyan. In 2014, Ma Xiaoping appeared again in another documentary "My Life My Lesson", but this time, Ma Xiaoping in the film was played by actor Fu Chong, and the real Ma Xiaoping died on January 16, 2012.
Ma Xiaoping is an ordinary middle school Chinese teacher, how can he be favored by two documentaries, people who do not know it must think that he is a fan, but when he knows, he will be moved by his deeds. More than nine years ago, I remember baidu encyclopedia introduced him no more than two hundred words, and now, after opening Baidu encyclopedia, Ma Xiaoping, a middle school Chinese teacher and educator. Such words are already impressive, and his introduction has been thousands of words, which shows that Teacher Ma Xiaoping has been more and more recognized by society.
Ma Xiaoping, graduated from the Department of Chinese of Hunan Normal University, has taught in Xiangtan No. 1 Middle School, Dongguan Middle School, Shenzhen Middle School, he is an educator with ideals, lofty goals, and feelings, although he is just an ordinary middle school Chinese teacher, but after his death, Qian Liqun, a famous professor at Peking University, and Yang Dongping, president of the Twenty-first Century Education Research Institute, have given him a very high evaluation. After Learning of his deeds, Wang Ying, a female entrepreneur in Beijing, cried a lot, thinking that such teachers are rarely known and not understood by people when they are alive, but there are many people who are alive like him, so Wang Ying has sought dozens of teachers like Ma Xiaoping across the country, organized them together, and talked about their views on education, which is also a kind of remembrance of Ma Xiaoping.
I admire Ma Xiaoping, the reason is that his educational philosophy is the same as mine, and the results are more than a hundred times higher than me, my study of educational theory began in 2009, since then, education books alone have purchased about a hundred copies, although not all intensive reading, at least a cursory browsing, which has a great impact on the formation of my educational philosophy. Engaged in education for so many years, in the first twenty years, I have never read a monograph on education, these ten years is really a bad supplement, completely changed themselves, but also found that it is completely contrary to reality, but once you accept those ideas, it is a firm persistence, even if it is crushed by reality, it will not bend. Colleagues and colleagues around me, almost all of them are still like me in the past, how much can we expect to change the status quo of grassroots education?
Teacher Ma Xiaoping has about 7,000 books, and I am ashamed! Only half of the book is his, some have not yet read, Teacher Ma is definitely a book-loving person, read more books, will think, will have their own different views on the same issues, will have a sense of historical responsibility, will have a sense of responsibility, will have a long-term vision. Just think: there are a few teachers who can buy books more than Ma's! I'm afraid even my book is not enough!
Teacher Ma's greatest admiration is that he completely handed over the classroom to the students, the content of the teaching materials involves very little, I am very agreeable, I think it is best not to use teaching materials for language subjects, independent language teacher Guo Chuyang also holds this view, because every bit of life, all aspects, there is a shadow of language. Teacher Ma's language classroom is reading, which is the soul of language, but in reality, the language classroom is based on the title, the learning of language should be listening, speaking, reading, writing, the main thing is to read and write, the most important thing is to write, and I am sure: all schools, all language teachers do not take writing as the top priority, but take the problem as the top priority, not only the language classroom does not exist to read, that is, the group of teachers, how many people read? How many people are old readers of Chinese language? Teachers don't read, how to set an example for students? How to guide students to read?
When the parent-teacher meeting ended, the parents of the students surrounded Mr. Ma and asked him why he did not talk about the content of the textbook, but talked about the extracurricular, Mr. Ma was speechless, after the parents left, he could only cry alone, heartache for the parents' misunderstanding, and sad for the incomprehension of others. I was lucky, I was like Teacher Ma, but I was not treated by the parents.
It is necessary to cultivate a new generation of people who can cope with such disasters before the catastrophe destroys mankind. This is the educational concept that Mr. Ma talked about many times before his death, and his concept originated from the British educator Toynbee's "race against disaster" educational concept. Toynbee believes that human beings face two disasters: "destruction of the natural environment" and "war and conflict", and education is the only way to achieve self-salvation. Therefore, Teacher Ma was in a hospital bed, enduring the severe physical and mental pain in chemotherapy, and after countless days and nights, he finally completed the selection and compilation of the book "Knocking on the Door of Destiny". This book has a total of 102 selected articles, which is of great help to improve the humanistic literacy of young students.
Teacher Ma once held a lecture on humanistic literacy, which was initially overcrowded and the students were very interested, but later, there were fewer and fewer people, why? It is not that Mr. Ma is not good at speaking, but these contents have nothing to do with the exam and are useless for the university.
Professor Qian Liqun also did the same thing, after his retirement, he went to several well-known middle schools in the country to give lectures, which was also crowded at the beginning and ended up with a lot of people, because the content of the lecture had nothing to do with the exam and was useless for the university.
Recently, read a book "Excellent Sheep", if you tell you directly, this book is not talking about sheep, it is about people, you will definitely first think of children under our education system, as everyone knows, it is not so, but M country, yes, you read it right, it is M country, under their system is also cultivating such talents. Author William Dreszevich pointed out that those world-famous schools are also constantly outputting overconfidence, homogenization of the circle of friends, stuck in their own ways, rigid thinking, disconnected from society, losing their personality of the excellent sheep, their shortcomings are the same as we have been criticizing, my God! It turns out that test-taking education is already global, and it is not exclusive to any country! The global catastrophe that Toynbee and Ma Xiaoping feared, or the education crisis, is not unfounded!
