My thoughts after reading "Ideal Journey" in junior high school

Big Jack and Little Jack are twin brothers, both 14 years old and studying in school. They are relatively far from school, so their parents provide them with a light vehicle as a means of transportation for them to drive to school and home. The two brothers were often late because they were playful and liked to sleep in at night. Although they were criticized many times, they still went their own way. One morning during the exam, even though the teacher warned them not to be late, they were still 30 minutes late because they were playing on the road. The teacher asked about the reason, and they lied that the car had a flat tire on the road and that it took time to go to the repair shop to repair the tire. The teacher was dubious, but did not have an attack. After letting them enter the classroom, he quietly went to the garage to check their car. He found that all four wheels were covered with thick dust and there were no signs of disassembly. It was obvious that the tire repair was a lie they made up. . Question: If you were the teacher of the Jack brothers, how would you deal with it?

208 teachers thought carefully and answered positively:

Chinese-style handling methods: First, seriously criticize them face to face and order them to write a review; second, cancel their participation in various advanced evaluations that year qualification; the third is to report to parents.

The American way of dealing with it: Give him a moment of silence - say to the brothers: "If you had ice cream and hot dogs instead of taking a test this morning, your car wouldn't have a flat tire on the road."< /p>

Japanese-style handling method: "Interrogate the brothers separately, punish those who confess, and punish those who insist on lying!!? SPAN lang=EN—US>

British-style handling method: ignore it as a small matter.

Korean-style handling method: tell parents and all students the truth, ask parents to strictly supervise their children, and let the whole class discuss and learn from it. Quit.

Singaporean method: let them hit themselves in the mouth 10 times.

Russian method: tell the brothers a story about the dangers of lying, and then ask. They: Have you told any lies recently?

Egyptian approach: Let them write letters to God and tell Him the truth.

Brazilian approach: Half a year. They are not allowed to play football in school.

Israeli-style handling method: Ask the brothers to answer three questions at the same time in two places: A. Your car exploded. Which tire was it? B. Which repair shop did you repair the tire at?

The organizer translated the 25 treatment methods into several languages ??and asked the students to choose. As a result, 91% of the students chose the Israeli-style treatment method. The moderator said that the method that most students liked was that the criticism education was of a game nature and the students were not afraid or embarrassed.

It can be seen that the most popular education among students should be education in games.

Indeed, when we watch the "Animal World", we see small animals learning to escape and hunt in games. It is more enjoyable for children to learn and grow in games than to learn and grow under the supervision of "strict teachers" and "strict fathers and loving mothers", but this is understandable. : Education is a game, which I think is biased. First of all, we cannot look at the problem based on the "animal world", because humans are not only animals, but also education is not only for human survival.

They are advanced animals with thinking and development possibilities, so from the perspective of developmental psychology, games may be suitable for preschool and school-age children. Once students can understand and analyze themselves, games can only stand aside.

"Why are my students still "relaxed" as usual, as if they are not the ones taking the exam? "This doubt has always tied me up. Now I read the article "Being a teacher who enjoys the happiness of success" in Zhou Long's "Ideal Journey". I may have found the answer - my students are still children, and their awareness is highly It’s not enough. You need games and interest, instead of the nagging words “You must study hard, get good grades, and get into a good university in the future.”

I once did such an experiment. , I present the facts and reason to my child in person, so that he can regain his motivation to study and vow to study hard in the future. Is it effective? Yes, my student is serious in class and has made progress in his studies. I didn't persist for long before I got tired and returned to my previous inertia.

When I try to reason with him and encourage him, he becomes numb. My experiment failed in the end. Zhou Long said it well, there are at least three solutions to everything. Calm down and think about it, change your perspective, and change your thinking. Looking at the cases of the most popular education methods made me think of games. It also reminded me that when I taught English to other fifth-grade classes, didn’t I often use games?
