Cinderella's fairy tales have been seen by everyone, and the magical and interesting plots in it make us remember it vividly, the squirrel that can peel nuts, the pumpkin that can change into a carriage, the mouse that can turn into a servant, and so on...
But you know what? Moving the story of Cinderella to the classroom, we can see the difference between Chinese and American education, today we discuss the differences in educational concepts hidden in "Cinderella" -
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > different from "Cinderella" in the Chinese and American classrooms:</h1>
US Version:
The bell rings and the children run into the classroom, this lesson is about Cinderella.
The teacher first invites a child to the stage to tell this story, and when the child finishes speaking, the teacher thanks him and then starts asking questions.
Teacher: Who do you like in the story? Don't like anyone? Why?
Student: Like Cinderella, and the prince, not like her stepmother and the sister brought by her stepmother. Because Cinderella is kind, cute and pretty. Then mom and sister were bad for Cinderella.
Teacher: If Cinderella hadn't had time to jump on her pumpkin carriage at 12 midnight, think about it, what might have happened?
Student: Cinderella will turn into her original dirty form, wearing worn-out clothes. Oh, that would be miserable.
Teacher: Yes, so you must be a punctual person, otherwise you may cause trouble for yourself. And you see, each of you is usually dressed up beautifully, so don't suddenly appear sloppy in front of others, otherwise your friends will be scared. Girls, you should pay more attention to the fact that when you grow up dating boys in the future, if you don't pay attention and are seen by your boyfriend that you look ugly, they will be scared to faint (the teacher does fainting).
The students laughed.
Teacher: Very well, the next question. If you were Cinderella's stepmother, would you stop Cinderella from going to the Prince's Ball? You must be honest!
student:............ If I were Cinderella's stepmother, I would have stopped her from going to the Prince's Ball.
Teacher: Why?
Student: Because, because I love my daughter, I want my daughter to be queen.
Teacher: Yes, so, the stepmosas we see are not good people, but in fact, they are just not good enough for others, but they are very good to their children. Do you understand? They are not bad people, it's just that they can't love other people's children as much as they love their own children.
Teacher: Kids, the next question, Cinderella's stepmother didn't let her go to the prince's ball, and even locked her up, but why did she end up going? And she became the most beautiful girl at the dance?
Student: Because there were fairies who helped her, gave her beautiful clothes, and turned pumpkins into carriages and dogs and rats into servants.
Teacher: Yes, you're well told. Think about it, if Cinderella hadn't been helped by the fairies, she wouldn't have been able to go to the prom, would she?
Student: Yes!
Teacher: If neither the dog nor the mouse is willing to help her, could she rush home at the last critical moment?
Student: No, then she can succeed in scaring the prince. (The class laughed again)
Teacher: Although Cinderella has the help of the fairies, it is not enough to have the help of the fairies. So, kids, wherever we go, we need friends. Our friends aren't necessarily all fairies, but we need them, and I hope you'll have a lot of friends. Now, please think about it, if Cinderella gave up attending the ball because of her stepmother's obstruction, could she become the prince's bride?
Student: No! In that case, she would not have gone to the ball, would not have been met by the prince, and would have known and fallen in love with her.
Teacher: That's right! If Cinderella didn't want to go to the prom, it was useless for her stepmother to not obstruct or even support her. Who decided she was going to the prince's ball?
Student: Herself.
Teacher: So, children, even if Cinderella doesn't have a mother who loves her, and her stepmother doesn't love her, that can't be a reason why she doesn't love herself. It is because she loves herself that she may be looking for what she wants. What would you do if one of you felt like no one to love, or had a stepmother like Cinderella who didn't love her?
Student: Love yourself!
Teacher: Yes, there is no one who can stop you from loving yourself. If you feel that others don't love you enough, you have to love yourself twice; if others don't give you a chance, you should double your chances; if you really love yourself, you will find what you need for yourself. No one can stop Cinderella from attending the Prince's Ball, no one can stop Cinderella from becoming queen, except herself, right?
Teacher: Last question, is there anything unreasonable about this story?
Student: (... After 12 midnight everything had to change back to the way they were, but Cinderella's crystal shoes didn't change back.
Teacher: Oh my God! You guys are amazing! You see, even great writers make mistakes, so mistakes are not terrible things. I vouch for it, if any of you becomes a writer in the future, it will be better than this writer! Can you believe it?
The children cheered.
(This is just a lesson in an ordinary elementary school in the United States, I saw understanding, valuing friends, persevering in pursuit, self-esteem and self-love, good at finding problems.) And when do we think of these dimensions? ）
China Version:
The class bell rings, the students hurry up, and the teacher enters the classroom.
Teacher: In today's lesson, we tell the story of Cinderella. Have you all previewed it?
Student A: Previewed!
Student B: .........
Teacher: Is Cinderella a Grimm fairy tale or Anthony Andersen's fairy tale? Who is its author? Which country? What is the author's life story?
student:..................
Teacher: What is the meaning of this story?
Student: Yes, this will definitely be tested.
Teacher: Okay, let's start talking about the text. Who's going to give this text a paragraph? And explain the rationale for such a segment.
Student: ** to ** is the first paragraph, ** to ** is the second paragraph, ** to ** is the third paragraph. Total score total structure...
Teacher: Everybody look at the first paragraph......... Listen carefully.
Student: (n people sleep on their stomachs......... ）
Teacher: Pay attention to this sentence, this is a figurative sentence. Compare ** to **. Why did the author write this?
Student: (Because the author...... Such a vivid and vivid expression... ）
Teacher: If you look at the third paragraph, if I change this word to another word, is there any good for the author? Why?
Student: (......... Another n people started sleeping... ）
Teacher: How come so many people sleep! I do it when I take the exam!? If you don't pass the test, you won't be able to finish your career! Don't even think about getting into any university...
ps: (What about Chinese students who are admitted to university... ）
What is the difference between Chinese and American education?
Personal feelings lie in the purpose, and the purpose of the former is to inspire children's wisdom, understand good and evil, understand right and wrong, and learn to look at this society correctly and objectively.
The latter is to tell you that learning these is useful for you to take exams later, exams are useful for you to go to school, further education is useful for you to find a job, and finding a job is useful for you to earn money - useful so it is important.
Fan Deng said that it is precisely because of this kind of "useful" ideological education that many people have gone astray .
Melamine is mixed into milk powder, because it cannot be seen and works;
Gutter oil cooks for customers to eat, because this can save fuel and work;
Sewage discharged into the river will be fined, discharged into the ground will not be checked, it will work...
We forget right and wrong and only remember that it was "useful" in this way.
Education should not be like this, education should tell our children what is right and what is wrong.
Talking about "Cinderella", American education grasps the core of this story, that is, the ideological value of it, Cinderella is industrious and kind, dare to think and dare to do and dare to pursue, this is all a beautiful virtue, the brilliance of human nature, is really what we need to educate to learn, not one-sided grammar and rhetoric.
Thinking of our lives, when parents are educating their children, should they also move closer in this direction?
When our children pointed to the sanitation workers on the side of the road, they asked us:
Why do they sweep the streets?
Some parents will say: "Because they are incompetent, you remember, you study hard in the future to go to college and earn more money to become a big official, you will not sweep the road and take out the dung, do these jobs are incompetent people, the people at the bottom!" Remember! ”
But what we really should say is: "It's their job, they do their job to sweep the streets clean, they deserve our respect, no matter what profession it is, they serve everyone, they are too, but their environment is worse, the wind and the sun are more worthy of our admiration... In the future, when you grow up, you want to be like them and become a conscientious person! ”
The good and the bad, the wise see the wise.
