Every morning at 7:30, at the gate of Oujiang Primary School in Wenzhou City, the principal Qian Qijian will always be seen warmly welcoming the children.
Since 2013, he has served as the principal of Wenzhou Baili Road Primary School and Wenzhou Oujiang Primary School, for ten consecutive years, he has been guarding the school gate every day to welcome the arrival of the children, windy and rainy, never stopped, and the children affectionately call him "seven and a half" principal.
The first greeting of "half-past seven".
At 7:30 a.m. on December 26, when the reporter came to the gate of Oujiang Primary School in Wenzhou City, the children walked into the campus with schoolbags on their backs.
Good morning, Principal Qian!"Good morning!Principal Qian has worked hard!When the children saw the principal from afar, they excitedly rushed forward to say hello, some high-fived, some hugged, for them, the principal was not "the principal in the office", but a "big friend" who waved and smiled at the school gate.
Principal Qian would enthusiastically respond to the children, "Good morning, Yueyue." "Shuying, let's do it today. "A new day starts with a warm greeting.
Principal Qian has been doing this for ten years. The school starts at half past eight, and Principal Qian always guards the school gate an hour in advance, and the wind and rain never stop. "Even if there is a meeting of the Education Bureau, I will 'report' at the school gate first, because the meeting time is usually 9 o'clock, and I can 'stand' at the school gate for at least half an hour before leaving. ”
The greeting at half past seven o'clock, parents and children saw it in their eyes and warmed their hearts. Huihui, who is about to graduate, said bluntly: "I am most reluctant to be the principal Qian at the school gate every day." There are also many parents who praise Principal Qian. "Every day, as soon as I open the car door, I can see Principal Qian standing at the door, and the principal personally greets us, and we are very down-to-earth. Haohao's mother described it this way.
Principal Qian said frankly that it is a trivial matter to greet children at the door, and the difficult thing is persistence. He hopes that through such a small gesture, he can shorten the distance with his children and help the separation anxiety of the younger children in school. At the same time, cultivate children's good habits of politeness and create a harmonious and friendly campus atmosphere.
Children wave to me, lively children will rush up to give me a hug, introverted children may simply nod and smile, these are their ways of showing love. To educate children, it is necessary to give him thoughtful, directive, and leading communication from little things, and guide him bit by bit. Principal Qian said.
Practice the sharp eyes of "face recognition".
At half past seven, a simple greeting is actually an emphasis and attention to the child.
Li Nian (pseudonym), a first-year student, is an introverted little girl who came to the new campus at the beginning of the school year, rarely communicates with teachers and classmates, and has never had friends. Every time he went to school, Li Nian went from not daring to speak at the beginning to taking the initiative to greet him later.
The change came from that call, "Li Nian, good morning." She looked up in surprise and looked at Principal Qian in disbelief, thinking that she was a transparent person-like existence, but she didn't expect Principal Qian to remember her as well. The feeling of being valued made Li Nian no longer shy, and bravely stepped forward to high-five Principal Qian, and it was from this day that she had her first friend at school.
Calling out the child's name when greeting is Principal Qian's self-request. Every school season, he will memorize the children's names in the student handbook, and then deepen the memory through the observation at the school gate over and over again, for a period of time, he has practiced the function of "face recognition", the school has 1103 students, more than eighty percent of the children he remembers the name.
'Good morning' is not the same as 'xxx, good morning'. Calling him by his first name is an exclusive attention, and when you call him by his name, the child feels completely different, and he can feel valued and respected. Principal Qian said.
Because he knows almost everyone in the school, Principal Qian will pay attention to the new changes of the children. On December 26, after an hour of "standing guard" at the school gate, Principal Qian keenly noticed that Kaikai, a second-grade student, did not come to school, and quickly contacted the head teacher to inquire about the situation, and later learned that Kaikai had a cold and asked for leave.
I hope to "stand" for the next decade
Not only does he welcome the children into the school in the morning, but when school is over, Principal Qian will also stay outside the school gate, say "goodbye" to the children, and watch them leave the school.
We will try to make sure that the children go to school happily and go home happy. Principal Qian said that the daily greeting and send-off made him full of trust and touch. Some time ago, he insisted on greeting the children at the school gate with a back injury, and the children were particularly considerate, and they would gently give Principal Qian a hug when they were usually on a rampage, and would ask Principal Qian to pay attention to rest like a little adultWhen the weather was cold, the children noticed that his hands were cold when they high-fived the principal, and specially brought hot drinks ......
These bits and pieces of warmth are the motivation for President Qian to persevere. "As long as my body allows, I will stand for the next ten years. ”
From strange to familiar, from greeting to hugging ......Under the leadership of Principal Qian, five teachers on duty in Oujiang Primary School greet the children in the same warm way every morning, and the strong teacher-student relationship becomes more and more mellow in every bit. "Kiss his teacher and believe in his way. When your child likes you, the relationship between teachers and students will be more harmonious, and the home-school co-education will be smoother. Principal Qian said.
