Who is to blame for turning a lion into a donkey? There is such a fable: the lion woke up and found that some nonsense head had hung a label on its tail, which read "donkey". The lion was very angry and tried his best to get the label off, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get it off. What annoyed him even more was that when he was walking on the road, other members of the animal kingdom pointed to his label and said, look, this is a donkey. So it went to the fox in a rage and said, "Do you think I'm a donkey, too?" The fox said, "Mr. Donkey, although you look like a lion, it is clearly written on your tail that it is a donkey." Gradually, the lion also thinks he is a donkey ... many of us may have read this fable. When I first read this fable, it was in junior high school. I just thought it was funny. I just think it reflects a deep philosophical problem and I didn't think much about it. Suddenly, many years passed, and I became a middle school teacher, doing the same work as other teachers day after day. When I read this fable again, I found that it not only reflected a philosophical problem, but also a profound educational problem. Come to think of it, I've become the one who labels myself. Actually, it's not just me. Almost all our teachers seem to be like this. Every day we are willing to put all kinds of labels on students. It seems that students are not divided into grades three, six and nine, and we all feel guilty. Students are busy with exams all day, and gradually, students themselves feel that the purpose of learning is to take exams. And what about the results of the exam? That is, we put different labels on different students. Here, the exam becomes a product appraisal. We can understand this, but what makes us feel is that our appraisal standard is so simple. We often look at our students with negative, weak and incompetent eyes. In other words, we treat students on the assumption that there are differences in intelligence between people, and only a few students can learn well. For many students, they can't be excellent, and their intelligence will not change, just as they were born with it. Therefore, under the habit of traditional thinking, we will not hesitate to label those students with poor exam results as "mentally retarded" and "abnormal behavior". For those poor students, we will take it for granted and have a clear conscience. They should be poor students. However, we seldom think about the feelings of students who are labeled as "problem students" and the harm they have done to their own hearts. For most teachers, it is impossible for them to think about it, because they may spend their time from primary school to university with the label of "excellent" teachers. They will not think about it, nor will they think about what the inner world of those problem students is like. Because for most teachers, they have no such experience. We often hear teachers say to their children's parents: Your children can't read and I can't teach; Children have IQ problems and so on. Over time, even parents feel that children are really not the material for learning. Because we often label students with poor test scores as "mentally retarded", perhaps teachers don't realize that this invisible reinforcement will make students invisibly accept this label and become "self-actualizers", just like the lion in the fable above. This invisible label may make them hard to get rid of, so that they may live in the shadow of this label all their lives. Even his parents and classmates will gradually accept the fact that he is a poor student. We can imagine that our students with learning difficulties are sitting in the corner of the classroom, living in a forgotten world, which is a place that teachers' charitable eyes can never reach, and a forbidden place for teachers to help in class. In the eyes of teachers, they are the so-called alternative and marginal people, and gradually lose confidence in learning. Failing the exam once or twice may make them sink forever, and school is simply hell for them. Our school has become a slaughterhouse for the soul. It should be a beautiful place, but our school has become a place where students dare not go. Can you blame those helpless children? Just like the fable above, it may not be terrible when a lion is put on the hat of a donkey. The terrible thing is, when the lion thinks he is a donkey, will the lion still have fighting spirit? The same is true for our students. It is often heard that teachers educate students like this: you should study hard, and school is your only way out. Only by studying hard can you make a difference. For those so-called "poor students" who have been labeled, this is the only way out and they have been ruthlessly sentenced to death. Where is their way out? We only pay attention to the results of the final exam, because we firmly believe that everyone is equal before the exam. In the face of irrefutable scores, we can confidently say to those students who didn't do well in the exam: you are a poor student. For some students, this may become the motivation for learning, but for many students, it will make them lose their confidence in learning even more. When I was sitting in the library reading those educational theories as an education graduate student, I saw Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, and that part of my heart was suddenly untied, and I suddenly felt suddenly enlightened. I was impressed by his theory. Gardner initiated a new era of intelligence theory. He regards human intelligence as a set of intelligence, which is diverse. Students' intelligence is different because they can only be combined in different ways, thus showing a unique way. In fact, each of our students has his own bright spot, that is, his own excellent place, but we are not good at discovering it. The so-called "365 lines, each doing its own thing", there are outstanding people in any field. Our education is not only to cultivate people with academic achievements, but also to benefit students for life and to develop them in all aspects. School should be a paradise for students to study, but now our school has become a place where many students dare not go, and learning has become a heavy burden for students. In fact, every student has his own unique learning style, his own unique growth environment and experience. Our exam only examines students' language and logical intelligence. In this way, it is not surprising that there are differences in test scores. As long as the teaching is proper, students' abilities in all aspects can be fully developed. We must firmly believe that every student can become an excellent student. Teachers should wake up. For those teachers who are still labeling students, it is time to put down those labels in your hands and give more care to those so-called poor students. As long as you treat them with your heart, you will find that they are all "lions".
