It is understandable that our education uses the ruler of scores to evaluate students and teachers' teaching, but it is easy to stifle the growth of those children who are rich in individuality.
So if we can't change this evaluation standard, is it possible for teachers to give students some room for personality growth?
Max van Menen shared such a story in "The Mood of Education":
There was a little girl who scribbled her paper after the exam and asked the teacher to correct the score.
The teacher found out the truth, didn't break it, and said while adding points: "Oh, maybe I'm wrong, if there's a mistake, I'll change it!."And added: "People should be honest, right?"”
The meaningful words made the little girl uneasy for a while, and finally confessed her mistake to the teacher.
Theoretically, the unity of commonality and individuality is the best choice for each student to have the opportunity to grow in education. Of course, when it comes to the practice of education, it is more necessary to have the mind and courage of education.
Share a true story:
In the fifth grade of primary school, the Chinese teacher asked each student in the class to write three journals a week.
One student ran to the teacher and said, "Can I draw instead of keep a diary?"
Unexpectedly, the Chinese teacher agreed.
After that, other students submitted three diaries a week, and this student only needed to submit two of them, and the other one was his paintings.
He draws in his diary, mainly drawing some small stories in life, such as going out to the movies with his father, washing clothes and drying socks at home, in the form of multi-panel comics.
He specially made a ** image, and every time he wrote a diary, he was immersed in his painting world.
This student's name was Qian Xiqing, who later became a famous illustrator. Later, when the 90th anniversary of the elementary school he attended, he gave his alma mater a special gift - a handmade illustration "Painting is a Happy Thing".
From an educational point of view, Qian Xiqing was lucky to meet such a Chinese teacher. Looking forward to having more such teachers in our education.
