1. Reading insights

Fate is really wonderful. Sometimes I feel that the most wonderful encounter in my life is to meet the black earth goddess Yifei and many poetic friends. How lucky is this life? Although I cannot participate in more activities due to various reasons such as health, I still yearn for it even though I cannot come.

Whenever I read "On Education" by the French philosopher and educator Alain, I recall all the twists and turns of buying books and studying, and feel the integration of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign cultures. I am very emotional and grateful to Sister Xiao Xia. Invite me to read the classics again, and I am grateful for all the encounters!

I remember Teacher Yifei said that as a teacher, you must read some educational monographs, otherwise you will easily suffer from mental calcium deficiency, and these books are not interesting, so you need to be willing to read them. Now that I think about it, it is indeed the case. I remember that when I first got this small vertical version of traditional Chinese characters that I had worked so hard to mail, I was full of excitement. However, when I actually read it, it was very difficult. I had to stop reading several times. I always had to wait until my heart clicked. Only when you are very quiet can you truly immerse yourself in the words. But as I read, I became addicted. The more I read, the more I discovered that Alan is worthy of being a great philosopher, the "modern Socrates". Some of his views on education are really inspiring. I will share with you some of them that I feel most inspired by. golden words.

2. Interpretation of golden sentences

1-How to learn a language? Through great authors and nothing else. (Page 24 "The Seriousness of Learning")

Language learning starts with imitation, so whose language is better to imitate? Of course it is a classic work by a great man.

2-For me, a good teacher is cold enough, deliberately so, and trains himself to be so. (Page 35 "Teacher's Indifference")

Education is an art. In fact, sometimes indifference is a higher level of love and art. However, not everyone can realize it. Needless to say it was well done.

3. Teaching practice

1-Start from feeling and imitating, and guide students to happily learn language expression and composition through practical experience.

I have been teaching Chinese for nearly 20 years. From the initial ignorance to the gradual improvement, until now, I enjoy and cherish the process of reading, preparing lessons, teaching, and growing up with the students. But when it comes to how to help students learn a language well, how to improve students' Chinese ability? I am increasingly discovering some excellent works inside and outside textbooks, those great authors, their words, their ideas, and their thoughts. . . They are the best examples for students to learn and grow in Chinese. It is said that reading a good book is like talking to some great people. In fact, it is not just a conversation. Reading classics has endless benefits. I often tell students that maybe we ourselves are not good enough, maybe our family is not strong enough, but it doesn’t matter. We can go to our vast corridor of excellent traditional culture to find and make friends with those great people, listen to their voices, and learn from them. They are our family members, elders, and friends. Reading them can nourish our souls and improve my literary quality. This is what I said, and I also led the students to do so. From the selected texts in the textbooks to the readings they usually do, from the masterpieces of peers to the outstanding famous works of ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, I tried my best to lead and encourage the students to I dabble in taste, perception, thinking and expression, and watch the eyes of those children with indifferent expressions gradually shine with light, and the witty words gradually come out in class, and the wonderful sentences gradually emerge in the writing. It is like seeing the flowers and plants that I have carefully planted grow happily, and I feel happy. Yes, for this reason, I will not hesitate even if I am tired until midnight.

2-I used to think about it when I was young, but now I think about it even more sadly.

"For me, a good teacher should be cold enough, deliberately so, and train himself to be so."

When I read this sentence, I was suddenly shocked. The past suddenly came to mind.

I remember that it was my first year at work. Due to special reasons, I was originally appointed as a class teacher by the principal. No matter how I refuted it, I could not change it. Bite the bullet and accepted the task. When I first walked into the class to get acquainted with the students, I saw these half-grown children gathering together and talking excitedly about something. I walked up to the child with the loudest voice and found that he was a handsome boy. He was talking happily and happily. When he saw me walking past, he turned his eyes to me, so I asked him, what is your name? He looked surprised and said his name. I didn't think there was anything wrong at the time, but later in his diary, I was surprised to find that he actually wrote a short poem about our first encounter, with the general content I didn't expect this girl among the new classmates to be so generous and actually asked the boy his name! Later, when he found out that I was their Chinese teacher, he was extremely surprised! However, when the director of political education solemnly introduced me to them and said that I was their class teacher, he couldn't believe his ears. In this way, I met my first class of students.

In the days that followed, he was talkative and sensitive, and naturally became one of my class representatives with his proactive learning attitude and enthusiasm. After gradually getting to know him, I discovered that behind his talkativeness , he also has a sentimental heart, often troubled by small things, demanding on himself, and easily hurt. Therefore, between the lines, studying and studying, I also acted as his psychological counseling teacher, and he seemed to gradually Untie the knot in my heart.

Until one time, the school held a large-scale cultural activity, which he liked. I also felt that he had this ability, because he had served as a host in the class many times and performed well, so I recommended him to be the school host. The host of the event and the other host were girls from the next class. They were all newcomers. I simply told them and went to do other things. Once, he came to me and said he was nervous as always. I said no problem, I believe in your ability! Just be prepared! He didn't pay too much attention, and he didn't pay as much attention to it as he did when he held activities for the first time in the class. He just thought that he needed a bigger stage. After experiencing more experience, he would definitely be more confident in accepting and appreciating himself!

As a result, the event was relatively successful, but he hated me and wrote a long letter accusing me of my dereliction of duty, and even said that I was not worthy of being a teacher. I was puzzled at first as to why he had such a strong reaction. Later I learned that the old teacher in the next class usually didn’t pay much attention to students’ activities, but that time he talked to a female support person to relieve stress. He happened to see him and came to see him. I also hoped for the same encouragement and comfort, but I told him coldly that he could do it and left him alone - he was hurt!

I really had an idea at the beginning. He who has been fully coached and trained in the class can be qualified for this activity, and sometimes he has to go through the training on his own in order to truly grow. Others It is more direct and practical than experiencing it for yourself, but he has kept a distance from me since then. I once wanted to reply to him or talk to him, but I never figured out how to tell him because he was too sensitive. , I suddenly felt very powerless, and I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to explain to him, so I didn’t respond. From then on, he was no longer a loyal fan of mine and no longer responded eagerly to my questions. Later, I accepted a new assignment and was transferred out of that school year. Later, I heard that he had dropped out of school and that he had inherited the family business. It's developing well.

But from then on, I only had his letter in my hand, but I never had the courage to meet him again. I felt that I really owed him an explanation, but to this day I have not handed in the answer sheet. , but from time to time, his disappointed and resentful eyes would appear before his eyes at a special moment, just far away at the end of the dusty years.

Today, when I read Alan’s words and thought about it based on my own growth experience and that of many people around me, I finally realized: Maybe I didn’t say much, explain or make up for it. It's not a bad thing, maybe it's not wise enough, but at least it's not stupidly applied. Sometimes indifference is a kind of deep love. Only indifference can free up more space for the protagonist to experience and grow, because the growth of any person is irreplaceable by others.

As the saying goes, "Sours, sweets, bitters, and spicy are all nutrition, success and failure are all gains." Walking on the road of education, marching in the garden of poetic language, I have never regretted, and I will never retreat.
