Q： Many parents are very concerned about their children’s study and life after elementary school. In the book, you also share the story of your daughter’s first grade school. As a “newcomer” and a teacher, the girl goes to the first grade. You think parents need it more. What are you doing?
A: I think that what parents should do most is to cultivate the cheerful and optimistic spirit of their children, to be able to get along with their peers in a kind and friendly way, to cultivate their children’s ability to be independent, to take good care of their study and their school life and having the habit of concentrating on listening to others. , Correct and serious learning attitude. Of course, they don’t need to be very good at entering school. After all, the first grade is still young. This is a direction and objective of the training. Parents must be supportive and nurtured in early childhood.
Q: Please briefly introduce your new book “A Very Good Boy” and its original intention.
A: I like children and I like to write. They both like to be together, so they started writing books and stories about children. I have worked in frontline teaching for over ten years and being with children every day is the best angle to observe children. You see them learn, fight, reconcile and grow day by day, as if you had spent your childhood again. I also want to show their lives to more people, so that more adults can understand them. Childhood is a particularly precious journey, because you never look back, to miss is to miss, to repent is to repent. It will also lay the emotional foundation for a life of happiness. A person with a full childhood will inevitably have a happy experience more easily than others. I like the children I have been with and I am proud of them. I hope everyone not only pays attention to children praising those exceptional geniuses, but we will see more stories of ordinary children and see their value.
Q: Besides the stories of the students in the book, you also share many stories with your own children. She is a “teacher” and a “mother” at the same time. Which do you think is more difficult? Why?
A: This one cannot be compared with “the one that is more difficult”, each one has its own difficulty and each one has its own fun and harvest. We all have multiple identities in society, and some identities will overlap. In front of the students, they are sometimes like mothers, and in front of their children, they are often also teachers.
Q: Many netizens said: I hope to be your student and be influenced by your education. We know that primary school teachers are a key part of basic education. What do you think are the responsibilities and positioning of primary school teachers, especially Chinese teachers?
A: I believe that the responsibility of a language teacher is to teach children the ability to read, write, speak, read and read texts fluently and fluently, write texts in an orderly and orderly way, and write the ideas that they want to express in a written and feel the text. Beautiful, deep and fun skills, these skills can help you carry out the necessary oral and written communication in daily life, and also help you feel the joy of thinking through reading in everyday life. I believe that the position of a Chinese teacher is a teacher, a leader, and a participant.
Q: In your teaching process, you will definitely find some “bear kids” who don’t study well, disrupt the classroom, and don’t change after repeated teaching. Do you have a special way of treating these children?
A: I believe that the vision of education is the vision of life. How you view bear children is actually how you view human problems. People aren’t perfect, so you don’t have to be strict with your kids. When it comes to bear kids, I’m actually very interested in challenges. I will use all my wisdom to think in ways and in various ways. This challenge prompts me to keep learning and reading constantly to deepen my inner strength. Each bear child has her own merits and I am not going to meet two bear children who are exactly the same, so this is a lot of fun, because every educational process is full of unknowns. The unknown brings failure and frustration, but it is also always filled with warmth and surprise.
Q: In recent years, there have always been complaints from parents that the teacher assigns too much homework to their children, is too difficult, or needs to be completed by parents, causing many parents to spend time and energy helping their children. children after work. operation. Some parents even think that the teacher shuns the responsibility of parenting education. We often say “family and school education”. Parents and teachers must cooperate together. Do you have any suggestions on the specific division of labor between parents and teachers?
A: In my opinion, schools and families must fulfill their functions and distinguish their responsibilities. I don’t bother parents for all the homework teachers have to do. For example, when it comes to homework, I always ask parents to check whether their children’s writing is correct and whether the surface of the roll is clean or not. But I also hope that parents can seriously fulfill their responsibilities, such as providing quality companionship for their children and cultivating good study and life habits for their children, which will benefit their lives throughout their lives. There must be unity and cooperation between home and school in order to teach children well and not shirk the responsibilities of others.
Q: The first grade teacher of a certain elementary school established 50 class committee members, which caused heated discussions among netizens. There are opinions that eliminate the cadre system in primary schools so that children can grow equally. There is also the view that, to avoid the “privilege” and “officialization” of student cadres, all students should be able to take turns as class cadres. How do you think you should train class leaders?
A: The original intention of forming class leaders is to allow children to learn to manage themselves and to serve others. As long as this original intention is not forgotten, it is not difficult to understand the current problem of class cadres. Why would anyone think it is necessary to avoid the privilege and officialdom of student officials? Because there are indeed some classes now, student leaders can punish their peers without being constrained by power, such as fines for standing up and cheating. Management is a science and, obviously, minors cannot take on such complicated management responsibilities. I think teachers need to strengthen guidance and make students realize that holding this position does not mean superiority. Teachers should also make clear provisions on the powers of student leaders and not give too much punishment. In the class group, especially in primary school, all are minors, I think it is better not to mention the word “painting”, that this work returns to the service itself, and that the children’s skills are exercised. It is the most fundamental.
Q： Students with high or low grades often attract the attention of teachers. Compared to middle level students, they are easily ignored and “forgotten”. How do you pay attention to the growth of these children?
A: The size of the class should not be too big, for a class of 60 or 70 people, or even a class of hundreds of people, the teacher has to attend the class and manage it, it is really difficult to cover everything. The teacher is not a superman. Therefore, if the class size is smaller, the teacher will spend more time with each student, so that he can pay attention to the growth of high school students. But the size of the class is not the ability of the teacher to solve it. It deals with the entire education system, as well as the level of economic development in various places, etc. At present, my class size is not too big and I also like to watch children. Every kid here knows best.
Q: What kinds of students are “good students” in your eyes?
A: Sincere, brave, studious and disobedient. Yes, I hope students are disobedient, they like to explore everything, doubt everything, constantly overthrow and rebuild. We don’t want to grow kids who just keep their promises, that’s destroying kids.
Q: Some people say that teaching is a secret love, trying to love a group of people, but I just get excited. Some people say that teaching is bitter love, and after all you can do to love those people, they will leave you far behind. Teacher’s Day is coming up, how is the teaching profession defined?
A: Actually nothing, life is very wide, I have my search, my happiness, the career is part of life, not everything. The value of my life is in my heart and I do not need others to praise and define me. I did my best to fulfill my job responsibilities and bring the students the richest and most beautiful childhood possible. Then they left this classroom and left me. They may have a better life in the future, and when I see them, I feel that everything is valuable.
