Please introduce Eton College in Windsor, England. ..

Eton College is a middle school. This clearly distinguishes it from well-known foreign famous universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard and Yale. The students who enter Eton College are all teenagers between the ages of ten and eighteen. Unlike the students whose personalities are basically formed and whose academic J sentences are roughly selected, middle school students are experiencing their most sensitive and turbulent personality formation period. The turmoil of physical development, psychological inexplicable troubles, alienation and conflict with adults, especially Bai Ji's parents, curiosity, yearning and fear before entering the future world are mixed in immature hearts, which makes their parents and themselves unpredictable, and all kinds of troubles come from this. If we take being admitted to a university as the beginning of seeking answers in life, then middle school is the stage of asking questions and being confused. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a stage in a person's life that really lays the foundation. In the five years of middle school, if the "track" is paved, the road is right, and children gain sufficient self-confidence, sound psychology and the ability to correctly acquire knowledge, they will be solidly prepared to meet the storm in life, no matter which direction it comes from. If the knowledge learned is called "valuable treasure", then the cultivation of a person's foundation in middle school is "priceless treasure" It is this "priceless treasure" that can really make children benefit endlessly in his or her long and tortuous life! Be invincible!

Eton College is the most famous middle school in the world. In today's China idiom, it means "the key point among the key points". If the English culture that has successfully covered almost the whole world is compared to a towering tree, Eton College, located next to Windsor Castle in ancient England, is its root; A whole set of educational methods gradually explored in hundreds of years is clear water poured directly on the roots. Generations of "Eton people" are not only successful themselves, but also turn good education into a higher way of success, thus answering the question of "how to make the descendants of successful people continue to succeed", which has plagued countless ancient cultures. The educational system of Eton College is based entirely on the experience and inspiration of children's minds. There, I can't see the dozens of kilograms of schoolbags that China students carry on their shoulders every day; There are no grades drawn by fast, medium and slow classes just after entering school; No one will become a "born outcast" in a slow class just because his grades are not satisfactory; It's even more impossible to compare with each other at an early age, which will bring a heavy psychological burden. It's either arrogance or self-abandonment-the Eton College and their education methods introduced here are not because of the parents' "dream of success" in China. Even the children who are sent to Eton's gate may not be the "dragon" in China's parents' minds-what I read in this book is just another idea and practice: respect for children; Understanding of children's different personalities and talents; And on the basis of understanding, we will guide and help them, and on the basis of understanding children, we will constantly tap the potential that children may have to help them determine the future disciplines and development direction. This book should be regarded as a reference material, giving a helping hand to parents who are anxious about their children, and giving a reference to China's still-groping education system. China used to say that "stones from other mountains can attack jade"; Let's talk about "the right medicine". There are enough "symptoms" in our educational concepts and methods. This "secret recipe" that collects the strong essence of English culture for hundreds of years can be used for reference and may be effective.

finally, of course, I have to talk about myself as an introducer. I got this job in 2, and so far I am the only teacher from China in Eton College. My unit in Eton College is the Department of Modern Languages. Our main classroom is opposite to the main church of the school. My "immediate superior" Dr. Oliver Franz Klammer has decorated the Chinese classroom like a small China cultural "exhibition hall", which is full of atmosphere, while I teach in another language teaching building. Twice a week, I will follow the route written in the book, from north London, passing through Heathrow Airport and Windsor Castle, and go to Eton on the upper reaches of the Thames for classes. For four years, I have traveled back and forth on this line, outside the window, the change of seasons in England, and the sunset glow on the Thames. At night, on the way home, sometimes I am alone in the empty carriage, and I suddenly feel inexplicably, how can I start my teaching career from this land? This is a kind of "fate"! After a few years, I can sometimes infiltrate my dreams. However, what I miss most are the handsome and shy boys and students with delicate pink faces. I watched them with my own eyes, from a little boy who spoke in a childlike voice to a little drake who had just changed his voice, and became a junior man with firm eyes and crisp words; From a thin and short body, I suddenly became a lean guy who was one head taller than me; From the first time I tried to read a Chinese sound, I was tongue-tied, and I talked to Kan Kan when I got into the high school. I am probably the first China teacher that many of them met, but the Chinese they learned from Director Franz Klammer and me and the knowledge about China will be with them all their lives. Who knows? When they grow up, will they appear on the streets of Beijing, Shanghai, Xi 'an and Lanzhou, where I was born and raised, and talk with China people? Maybe I will even meet them again in a city in China? In the final analysis, Eton College is not necessarily just a middle school for good children, but it is actually cultivating every child into an educated student.

Every child has some minor problems at different stages. How to solve the problems is what we really want to think and do as "cultivators". Do we really understand what children are thinking? Do we really understand them as teachers? Do we really love them? Have we really found the right way to express this kind of love? If not, how can we blame the children for being "disobedient", "ignorant" and "not motivated"? They may be powerless to resist, but their intuition may make a more correct judgment than we adults. Therefore, in the final analysis, this book is a book of love: parents and schools should learn how to love their children, and then this love will be sent back to ourselves from their hearts!
