When I was given the task of teaching the naughtiest children, my heart was filled with challenges and anticipation. I knew that this would be an extraordinary educational experience and an opportunity to hone my educational skills.
This child's name is Xiao Ming, and he is a well-known mischievous ghost in the school. He often causes trouble in class, causing headaches for teachers. I've heard that his parents are also helpless against him, and even do it to him sometimes. Such a family environment makes me even more worried about Xiao Ming's future.
On the first day of class, I deliberately arrived at the classroom early, hoping to make a good impression on Xiao Ming. When I walked into the classroom, I saw Xiao Ming sitting in the last row, holding a comic book in his hand, reading with relish. I walked over, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Xiao Ming, we are new teachers, and I hope you can pay attention in class." Xiao Ming looked up, glanced at me, and then continued to read his comic book. I was a little disappointed in my heart, but I knew this was just the beginning and I couldn't give up easily.
In the days that followed, I tried various methods to get Ming's attention. I told stories, played games, organized group discussions, and even brought in other teachers to help. However, Xiao Ming always looked absent-minded, which made me feel very helpless.
I began to wonder why Xiao Ming was so uninterested in learning. Is it because his family environment makes him insecure? Is it because his grades have been bad that he has lost confidence? I decided to delve into Ming's inner world and get to the root of the problem.
I used my spare time to chat with Xiao Ming, asking him about his hobbies, family situation, etc. I found out that Xiao Ming is actually a very smart child, and he is full of curiosity about many things. However, due to family reasons, he rarely had access to this knowledge. I realized that in order for him to be interested in learning, he had to feel my love and support first.
So, I started to pay more attention to Xiao Ming in class. When he answers questions, I give him encouragement and affirmation; When he is in trouble, I will patiently guide him; When he makes progress, I praise him in time. Slowly, I found that Xiao Ming began to develop some interest in learning, and his grades gradually improved.
In addition to paying attention to Xiao Ming in class, I also try to communicate with his parents. I told them that Xiao Ming is a very potential child, and as long as he is given enough love and support, he will definitely be able to achieve better grades. I also suggest that they spend more time with Xiao Ming and create more learning opportunities for him. Parents listened to me and expressed their willingness to cooperate with my work.
After a period of hard work, Xiao Ming finally made significant progress. His grades are no longer lagging behind and he has even achieved excellent results in some subjects. More importantly, he has become more confident and cheerful, and is willing to communicate and cooperate with other students. Seeing the changes in Xiao Ming, I feel very relieved and proud.
This educational experience has made me deeply aware that every child has their own characteristics and needs. As educators, we need to understand their inner world and give them enough love and support. Only in this way can we truly stimulate their interest and potential in learning and help them on the road to success.
