It’s been a long time since I stopped to watch a movie like this. I saw it from a movie recommendation by chance, and watched it late at night without hesitation. My heart was really healed.
Similarly, I haven't written anything for a long time. After watching this film, I feel that I have a lot to express, but suddenly I can't start.
Well, let's start with the moment it left spark in my heart.
At the beginning, Gruwell was like a silly white sweet with beautiful dreams, looking forward to her teaching career, but the students she faced were full of problems, and for novice teachers, it was really not friendly at all. But I didn't see Gruwell's retreat, she was confused because she didn't understand the lives of the students and the predicaments they faced. What she did was to be very brave and sincere to understand them, to help and influence them in an "educational" way.
I think, no one wants to live in despair and darkness forever, especially teenagers. They are not strong enough to face life, but they can keenly capture the little things in life, the more messy life becomes. , their hearts are also more and more desperate and lost.
And Gruwell is like a light in life, shining softly and firmly into their lives. She uses events in history that are close to students' lives and books full of hope to lead students out of the plight of real life. Carve out a pure land in the depths of their hearts and write their own stories and inner aspirations.
The "gang" in the class, who had a clear distinction at the beginning, became a "family" under the teaching of this teacher who did not play cards according to the routine. Probably because they are going through this unusual change together, and they love the teacher who brought the change together.
Finally, I found the answer again. It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. The fish here is "shu", and fishing is "enlightenment" (forgive my stupidity, I didn't find the word corresponding to Shu).
The teacher I want to be does not only teach students how to solve problems and take exams. I hope my students can experience the real joy of learning through me, and experience the life and other experiences that this subject brings to them.
The directors in the film are like the opposites of Gruwell. One of them represents "teaching" and the other represents "education". The parallel of the two is of course the optimal solution, but what if you are facing problem students? Teachers can't be the first to give up on them.
If you want to take off a person's armor and open a person's heart, you must first understand each other with empathy, listen to their stories sincerely, and sincerely find a suitable way to help them. It is not a preconceived sense of superiority, nor is it relying on the "ego" of experience to solve problems.
Therefore, I think Gruwell is not only educating, but also helping these children. With her sincerity, she has made the children make firm changes.
Find it, and do it.
