"What did you do during the summer social practice?"
"Support teaching"
"You know that short-term support groups like yours will be very helpful to the local community." What a bad influence it has on your children! Is what you say really useful to them? What should I do if their contact with you and the way the teacher teaches them are different? What if he leaves again and affects their psychology?"
"I know, I know, shut up!" I don't know how many shortcomings he can point out without interrupting him. However, how could participants in short-term education not understand these shortcomings?
Perhaps we can argue that short-term volunteer education can bring more to local children, but when we carefully consider short-term volunteer education, it is difficult to firmly state its significance. We can teach some traditional courses, such as Chinese, mathematics, English or others, but we cannot guarantee that we can enable them to gain knowledge that they cannot learn from teachers in just a few classes; we can teach some interest classes, but origami , painting, singing and other courses, what can change? We cannot let them become the next artist (perhaps there is a slight probability), what is its significance for their growth; maybe some short-term teachers or teams, with full You want to pass on something to the children in a fun way, or in the form of games or something else, but you have to think about, after laughing, what can be left behind that is useful to them?
Those who support education must be enthusiastic about public welfare, and their thoughts must be to help local children. However, the result of short-term teaching support is inevitably reduced to a team trekking behind in one place. How much joy has been left in remote places. The children will be happy during this period, and may be able to gain something during this period, but for their subsequent growth, we cannot guarantee whether we can really leave them with something truly meaningful, so short-term support education Is the meaning too narrow, and is it just a comfort to the kindness in the hearts of those who support teaching?
The existence of things must have its own meaning. The team of short-term teaching volunteers continues to grow, and more people are participating in the voluntary activity of short-term teaching. We cannot understand this as a personal realization of its goals. Activities with a certain meaning in life are inevitable to have a good or bad impact on children in backward areas. Therefore, every educator hopes that his actions can have more impact on local children. It has a good influence and helps them grow, but the limitations of short-term volunteer education have caused short-term volunteer teachers and the activity of short-term volunteer education to be questioned. Maybe we can come up with more interesting and advanced ways to make up for certain shortcomings. Although the shortcomings are still there, short-term volunteer teaching will still continue, and more people will become short-term volunteer teachers, so more people will go Do it. If more people think about it and practice it, they may find better answers.
As long as you are on the road and blindly question whether you can find the direction, it is better to keep walking firmly, maybe you will eventually find the end.
