Edison dropped out of primary school after three months, and he was a child with hearing impairment. How did he grow up to be the greatest inventor in the world? We all know that his mother Nancy had a great influence on him. Nancy didn't have a profound cultural background and didn't have any scientific educational methods and advanced educational ideas at that time, but how did Nancy educate Edison? No one knows the details, so I paid special attention to collecting some information in this respect. I found the one that impressed me the most in the relationship between the mother and the child, that is, the child's heart will be supported by unconditional love, and such support will become a treasure of the soul for life.
Speaking of Edison's family education, we have to start with Edison's dropping out of school. As for the reason why Edison dropped out of school, everyone knows that it was because Edison asked "Teacher" The teacher said, "Edison, if you take a pencil and add another pencil, won't it become two pencils?" "But teacher, take the water from two cups and put it in another cup, and the water will be concentrated in one cup. How can one plus one be two?" The teacher didn't know how to answer. "Teacher, two pieces of mud are stuck together, so why one plus one is two, maybe one plus one is one?" At this moment, the teacher got angry: "What a nuisance! Think about it yourself. "So the teacher went on with the class. Edison raised his hand again." What is it, Edison? " The teacher held back his anger and asked, "Teacher, why is it windy?" "Teacher, why do eggs hatch chickens?" The teacher said, "That's because the hen heats the eggs." "Teacher, why can you hatch chickens by heating the eggs?" Edison asked many more questions, why, what "why don't fish drown?" "Why is the sky blue?" And so on. Why did the teacher finally get fed up and scolded him severely? "What a nuisance, asshole, learn your arithmetic honestly! Are you a fool? It's no use reading like you. Edison went home crying. After listening to his son's complaint, his mother took Edison's hand to the school to find the teacher and questioned the teacher: Are you saying that my son is a fool and reading is no use? The teacher was speechless. "I see, my son has my own education, so don't bother the teacher. Goodbye." Holding his son's hand and going home, Nancy thought as she walked, "Teacher Engel forced the child to memorize the textbook completely, and his son felt disgusted, so the two talents were deadlocked. I don't force him, I want to enjoy thinking with him. Go to hell! It's no use memorizing textbooks when they grow up. Aren't living textbooks everywhere? " Nancy secretly vowed: "I will try to educate my son never to lose to other children". From then on, I began to educate Edison at home.
This school is a school for both my mother and my son. My mother taught him to learn arithmetic, English, literature, science, society ... everything together. But my mother never stuck to textbooks, but paid attention to what happened around her.
Everyone knows the story of Edison's hatching eggs. And there are many kinds of sayings. In the information I collected, my mother did this. My mother said, "Edison, a duck egg hatched a duckling yesterday." Edison asked curiously, "Mom, why can a duck egg hatch a duckling?" Mother said, "It's because the mother duck is holding the duck eggs to warm them up." Edison asked again, "Why can you hatch the ducklings by heating the duck eggs?" Mom said, "Yes, why?" "Maybe I'll understand if I try." Mom said happily, "OK, try it." So Edison held the duck egg in his arms and hatched it for two days. As a result, nothing happened. My son was disappointed, and his mother gently said to him, "It's a pity, Edison." "Yes, Mom, I warmed the duck egg, too. Why can't I hatch a duckling?" "Yes, you should look up the encyclopedia." So, mother and son looked up the encyclopedia together, Edison looked up the egg item and mother looked up the bird item. Although there was no result, Edison learned a lot about birds and eggs. Together, they discussed a lot of knowledge about wind, flowers and fish that they couldn't learn in school. Nancy never gave him an answer, but read the encyclopedia with him and thought with him to help her son feel curious about the subject. If you have such curiosity, you will continue to learn. Edison, an inventor who is famous for his profound knowledge, started from the encyclopedia he studied with his mother. Every night, her mother slept next to her son and read him famous books one by one instead of nursery rhymes. Later, the habit of reading was as natural as breathing for Edison. Edison's love of reading and fast reading was world-famous.
