May every child have light in his eyes and a path under his feet

Every year, there will be a few students in the class who don't like to study. They lie on the table and sleep as soon as class comes. Some teachers give up after supervising them, as long as they don't make trouble in class.

I really can’t bear to see young children being so decadent. After all, I teach Chinese. I think that no matter how poor a child's grades are, as long as they have normal intelligence, they can always recognize a few Chinese characters. As long as these children are "awakened", there is no Chinese language that they cannot learn at all.

The most indispensable thing for this kind of children is the criticism and punishment from their parents and teachers. Therefore, I don’t have to add fuel to the fire, and I will try my best to be a good person who sings the praises. "Bar.

To be honest, it is almost impossible for parents of these children to seek help from them in family education, or at least very difficult. It is better to communicate directly with the children.

The same is true for this year’s junior high school students. Soon after the school started, I discovered that there were several “sleepers” in the class. No matter how lively the class was, they were either sleeping or kept low. There was no communication with me during the whole process. Even if I asked them to stand up to answer very simple questions, they would remain silent or simply say "I can't." At this time, I would just smile and motion for them to sit down.

Usually during morning reading or recess, I will find the right opportunity to sit next to them and have a chat with them: express my desire not to give up on them, let alone give up on themselves, and listen to what they say. Tell them about your family, experiences or encounters, and discuss with them the starting point and direction of your next efforts. Some of them told me that they didn’t actually sleep during the Chinese class, they were just used to lying on their stomachs. I said, in my opinion, it’s not that I’m used to lying on my stomach, but that it should be like what I did during a period in elementary school when my grades were very bad. I felt embarrassed to light up the lamp and stay up late doing homework in front of my family at night. During the day, I was afraid that others would see me paying attention to class seriously. It was a joke, so I held it on purpose. They nodded and smiled with shy relief.

Fortunately, in the Chinese class, there are fewer and fewer people sleeping, and occasionally some doze off. I walked to them and reminded them a little before sitting up straight again.

Usually, I will try to get some extracurricular books suitable for them to "entertain" their boring time. When assigning Chinese homework, I will reduce the amount or difficulty of the homework for them in private, but I require them to do the questions they can do seriously.

It has been almost a school year, and I feel that these children have changed quite a lot. The boy Ying has been in good condition since the beginning of the first semester. He can listen to lectures and take exams seriously. He is becoming more and more interested in reading extracurricular books, and his compositions are also very good. He gradually lost the "rebellion" that he used to deliberately confront the teacher. Ce had some ups and downs in the last semester. This semester he told me through oral and writing opportunities that he must study hard. The first Chinese mock test was only one point away from passing, and he said he would definitely do better in the second mock test. He also told me that he carefully read the books I lent him, especially the article that was printed and distributed to each classmate, which made him think a lot and made him determined to change himself. This girl Min has never been very talkative, but she has been working hard silently, and her accuracy in basic questions is getting higher and higher.

As graduation approached, I once again chatted with each of them individually.

When asked what their plans were after the high school entrance examination, some said they didn’t know, and some said they might go to a technical school.

The following is the content of my conversation with each of them:

"The high school entrance examination is coming soon. Are you confused because of your poor academic performance?"

"Yes." (or nod)

"Have you ever thought that you actually have advantages that others don't have!"

"What?" His eyes were full of surprise.

"Because your grades are not very good, your family no longer has high hopes for you to enter high school and go to college. Some teachers usually do not have very strict requirements for your studies. They just want you to be obedient and not cause trouble, right?"

"That's right.

”

“It is precisely because they have lowered their demands on you that you have freedom that many people do not have.” You see, those students with good grades in the class are actually under a lot of pressure. Once they fail in any subject, they will attract attention from all aspects. After all, their families, teachers and their I hope they can get into a better high school and then a good university in the future. And you should not ask yourself in this direction now.

However, after all, you have grown up so much. Although you are very free, your heart is not very happy, right? You will certainly often think about how to deal with such life issues in the future.

As you approach graduation, the Chinese teacher still has something to say to you.

No matter what others think of you, I firmly believe that if you can find a way forward from now on and work hard, your future life may not be inferior to others. If you make good use of this freedom now, you can turn it into an advantage. Instead, you can focus on studying some subjects that interest you. But if you indulge yourself and sleep all day because of this unfettered freedom, it will be really wasted.

Let me tell you two true stories.

There is a classmate who graduated last year. When he first entered junior high school, he never handed in homework and just sat alone in the classroom. No matter how the teacher coaxed him or asked him, he refused to study hard. . That year, I launched the "Good Book Reading" activity in my class, and I often encouraged him to borrow extracurricular books to read. Later, he really slowly fell in love with reading, and he became more and more cheerful. . In the second year of junior high school, he was finally willing to listen to Chinese classes, and he was able to submit weekly journals and compositions on time. Although his writing was very short at first, I was happy for him and would carefully help him correct it every time. In the third grade of junior high school, he was assigned to another class. I talked to his class teacher about his situation and asked her to give this special student more help. Can you imagine it? One day after the high school entrance examination, when I met him on campus, he told me that he had finished reading Leo Tolstoy's novels "Resurrection" and "Anna Karenina" during the summer vacation. I was shocked. I believe that if he can continue like this, his future will not be too bad.

There is another boy who is my neighbor. He graduated from Songyang No. 2 Middle School. He was not very sensible and did not like to study, but he especially liked drawing. His biggest hobby in junior high school was drawing Japanese comics. Because of his poor grades, he could only choose to go to a private high school and study painting as his main career. Last year, he was admitted to the famous Academy of Fine Arts in China. At that time, he did not dare to apply for a better school. With his subsequent admission results, he could definitely enter the best academy of fine arts in China. His whole family was overjoyed.

Therefore, the teacher hopes that you will have confidence in yourself and work hard from now on. At least you can start from learning Chinese and keep your habit of reading extracurricular books. When you have a certain foundation in Chinese language, you may one day find your specialty, and you may one day understand other subjects as well.

There is not much time left for me to be together with you, but I will always care about you in my heart, and I especially hope that you will have a good life in the future! "

They all promised me to love myself well and work hard.

In class, I specially told the whole class about the champion express of the third season of this year's "Chinese Poetry Conference" My brother Lei Hai finally had a new life after persisting in reading poetry for thirteen years. I saw many children straighten their bodies when listening to the story, with something bright in their eyes.

I hope that every child will have a new life. Every child has light in his eyes, dreams in his heart, and a path at his feet.
