What is the south wind effect?

French writer La Fontaine once wrote a fable about the strength of the north wind and the south wind to see who can take off the coat of pedestrians. The north wind came first with a cold wind, biting cold. As a result, pedestrians wrapped their coats tightly to resist the invasion of the north wind.

The south wind blows slowly, and the sun shines suddenly. Pedestrians feel very warm, so they start unbuttoning and then take off their coats. It was obvious that Nanfeng won. Lafontaine, a fable with profound implications, later became a concept of social psychology, and was called "South Wind Effect", "South Wind Law" or "Warm Law".

In education:

Warm is better than cold, which is what we learned from the "south wind effect". In family education, it is right for parents to be strict with their children, but being too strict will turn into autocracy, denying all children's ideas and doing great harm to their lives. In fact, the implementation of school education has the same effect on family education.

It is normal that some students get good grades and some students get poor grades. However, it doesn't mean that teachers should completely deny students with poor grades, because teachers don't know the potential of such students.

Of course, what schools are pursuing now is grades and scores. If teachers want to do ideological work for students with relatively poor grades, they can apply the law of "south wind effect". Teachers should adopt the education mode of "warm wind blowing for a long time" and "drizzle moistening things silently", instead of punching, kicking and personal attacks. ?
