colleague recommended me and said: "A good movie about children and teachers With my parents, it’s very touching.” My psychological activity at the time was: Well, it must be a very touching movie, but those special children are really a headache. As a teacher, even if you know the importance of patience, even if you know A good teacher will help a child a lot, but the reality is this: it is difficult for you to find a way to help him, just like the situation I encounter in the classroom every day.
In the first half of the movie, I think there will be a lot of people who watch the movie sigh at Ethan’s inner frustration: all the letters are dancing, and they don’t understand the simple "turn the textbook to the first few pages and the few lines". Instructed to take the failing test paper home for my mother to sign, but inadvertently turned it into a toy of two puppies. The toy was torn to pieces and skipped class to avoid the teacher's roar and punishment... These also made me I feel bitter, but the role of the teacher makes me feel helpless. Ethan’s role-playing is so good that I saw so many scenes I’m familiar with in Ethan’s body: strange running postures, boundless wandering in the face of tasks that need to be completed, and the need to constantly urge to use more than others. It takes twice or more time to complete simple things such as dressing... and uncontrollable destruction of collective discipline! How familiar these scenes are. Ethan’s teacher and father felt that this was Ethan’s attitude or intellectual problems. What else could be the reason? Unlike these teachers, I know this is a problem of the children’s own abilities. The chaotic behavior is because they cannot arrange their actions in an orderly manner. However, even with this understanding, I still feel helpless as a teacher: If there is no effective way to treat and change the child's behavior, both the teacher and the child can only continue to suffer and continue to suffer.
How difficult it is to understand.
There is a child in the class, just like Ethan, who always causes trouble. From the time the school bus stopped downstairs in the morning, the teacher began to pay attention to him: 5 minutes later, did he enter the classroom, or hide in the corner of the stairs again, or wander between floors, forgetting to go upstairs? Seeing him entering the classroom, a teacher should immediately stand by him and urge him to change shoes and hang up his schoolbag. If not, he would stay in the cloakroom for half an hour without coming out, and would jump in there. Ah, scream, bring other children younger than him to quarrel together, regardless of the other children in the workplace have begun to work quietly and orderly. In the classroom, how difficult it is to find a job that allows him to concentrate. As soon as the teacher leaves him, he will start wandering like Ethan. The work in front of him is messy, and after a while he will get to the table. Go down, or move the teaching aids on the cabinet behind you. When it was time for group games, when everyone was playing quietly, he jumped around, screamed, and after the outdoor activities in the afternoon, he kept running on the playground or hiding in the attic on the slide. , Hiding inside and refused to come out...
How difficult is it to understand such a child and give him a proper education?
In the morning in the cloakroom, why does he jump around every day? Because the sleeves of his coat were too tight, there was no way to make the sleeves fall down even if he flicked his arms, so he had to shake his whole body vigorously, tapping his body to let the sleeves fall down. It turned out to be like this! Then give a demonstration. Demonstrate how the teacher took off both sleeves. When demonstrating, you must pay special attention to whether his eyes are looking at your hands, because if you are negligent, his eyes will slip again. Went elsewhere. In addition, please note that in the next morning, before he starts to take off his clothes, be sure to remind him that you did the demonstration yesterday and he has learned it. I hope he will do it in the same way today. If this sentence is not said, there is more than 80% chance that he will still solve the problem by jumping.
When everyone was playing a group game at noon, there was one child whose hundred grid board was not properly positioned, and twenty or thirty were scattered on the work blanket. He saw it, walked over, turned over the seventy or eighty “cangs” that had been sorted upside down on the work blanket, then stood up, looked at the mess of small square pieces of wood, lifted his foot and kicked it up! At noon the next day, he stood in front of the job again. Twenty or thirty wooden boards were stacked on the correction board. Only 1, 2, 3, 98, and 99 were placed where he should be. So I knew he really wanted to do this job. He kicked these small pieces of wood maybe because there were too many of them, and he had no way to organize them in an orderly manner! On the morning of the third day, I specially brought this job to him and taught him how to take out these small boards one by one, and sort them on the work board 10 at a time. He did a great job that morning. It took an hour to complete all 100 planks. But on the morning of the fourth day, he put the wooden box on the work blanket with a "bang", thirty or forty pieces of wood fell out, and then there was an endless wandering. On the morning of the fifth day, I showed him how to put things gently, but I only finished the order of 1-20, and then I was wandering again!
How difficult it is to understand such a child and give him an appropriate education!
Such children are inherently lack of initiative. A small setback can dispel his patience. If one request for help is not satisfied, the next request for help will be dissipated. They need too much individual attention, not to mention that there is something in Ethan’s classroom. With 60 children, even in a Montessori classroom with only 20 children and individualized teaching, you still can't pay attention to them all the time. And even if you pay attention, you still can't keenly perceive what you want to give him in order to really help him, because this is not within the scope of your knowledge, nor within the scope of your experience.
Every child is special. When I was in the painting competition, when Ethan’s paintings and Nicouba’s paintings were displayed in front of my eyes, I still shed tears. I was moved by the tranquility and splendor in Ethan’s paintings, and moved by the brilliant face of Ethan in the heart of Nicouba. When the withered flowers showed their inner beauty and bloomed with the brilliance of life, when the trust and dedication finally reaped a good harvest, we all felt the same joy. I think every teacher would like to see such a scene, just like Ethan's principal is the same as the other teachers.
It's just that too many times we can't become Nicouba, not because we don't want to, but because the state of children in reality is more complicated than in movies, because even if we care, we don't know what to do!
