Walking into the classroom, I saw that there were several pages of class rules on the poster, from class to Xi, from classroom to dormitory, from assembly to cleaning, all aspects of class activities have detailed rules and regulations, and there are detailed deduction and bonus point regulations.
I asked the students: Who made this rule?Students say: Our homeroom teacher Teacher. I went on to ask the students, do you remember all these rules?The student said: So much content, **remember to pour. I asked: What if it is violated?The student said, "Of course, points will be deducted."
Seeing such detailed class discipline rules, I was moved by the intentions of this young homeroom teacher, but at the same time there was an indescribable uneasiness, it is estimated that the teacher himself cannot remember so many rules, let alone so many students with Xi tasks every dayAfter all, class rules can only have a real effect if they penetrate into the hearts of each student. And only the most concise rules can really make every student familiar and profound.
I have found that many experienced homeroom teachers basically do not need such detailed specific rules, but most of them have established a simple and clear class concept and the most basic principles. Especially for high school students, normal Xi, discipline and life should be done, the vast majority of students have clear standards of right and wrong, the class teacher can fully trust students, give students more room for growth, only need to establish the simplest core concepts and basic principles of the class.
How to establish such a concept and principle, in fact, is very simple, is to summarize the content that you think is suitable for the requirements of the students according to the situation of the students in the class into key words, list them one by one, and then use the best thinking to gradually delete the words that can be removed from the list, and finally what remains is the core and fundamental. Interpret this core and fundamental word and go deep into the hearts of every student. All the problems that students encounter, at least most of them, can be judged and selected using this core idea.
Many years ago, when I was the head teacher of Class 6 forever, I chose one sentence as my class motto: Your most valuable asset is a positive attitude. I tell students that if they encounter any problems in their Xi and life, they should deal with them with a positive attitude, and if they need the help of the teacher, they should communicate with the teacher at any time, and the teacher is not here to manage and control everyone, but to solve problems with everyone, overcome difficulties, and grow together.
The reason why the world's most popular song "Happy Birthday" is so deeply rooted in our memories is that its lyrics are the most concise, so concise that there is only one sentence: I wish you a happy birthday.
Today I saw a book by Ken Siegel, who used to be Apple's creative director, "Crazy Simplicity", which reveals the secret of Steve Jobs' success in simple and clear words. Brevity can be harder to do than complexity. You have to work hard to clear your mind in order to keep things concise. But there's always value in doing that, and once you're done with simplicity, you'll be able to do anything. So says Steve Jobs.
