April 10, 2019, is a day I deserve to remember with my life.
I never dreamed that in the first "Apricot Tan Cup" writing contest in滑县, my entry "kind-hearted and educated - my impression of Mr. Zhang" actually won the first prize, and I also won the "writing advanced individual". The first prize was awarded to me, and I was also awarded the honorary title of "Advanced Individual in Writing".

To share, to infect.

Dean Zhang shared from the following aspects:What is the meaning of reading and writing?

"Facing the sea, spring flowers bloom." The new education is the sea, for students is a kind of happiness, for teachers is running their own happiness.

He called himself a happy man, gain and loss of honor and disgrace all do not count, no loss of conscience and not negative day.
The day's training session is over, and I am full of harvest and feelings. In the evening, I shared my speech, "Life's beautiful encounter" after finishing, editing, posted on the WeChat public number "Lao Dian Town Teachers Read and Write", the journal is exactly the 100th issue. (I want to remember this special day.) Look at the time, exactly 22:00, turn off the phone, instantly sound asleep.
In a trance, I arrived at a fairy tale world of green trees and lush grass, where a group of flowery youngsters were wandering, taking pictures, and playing games among the flowers, and one of the girls excitedly cried out, "Mr. Wei is here!" We formed a circle and played a game of handkerchief throwing ......
I woke up sleepy. I recalled the wonderful dream, thought back to yesterday's training, and reflected on my more than 20 years of educational life, as if playing a movie, one scene after another surfaced in front of my eyes.
Psychologist non-Freud believed that dreams are the realization of subconscious wishes. In fact, from the first day I stepped on the podium, I stubbornly believe that education should be very human, very warm, very romantic.
For example, my ideal education would be like this: half a day of class and an afternoon of free reading. In the center of the classroom is a big bookshelf with all kinds of books, and the teacher and children sit around casually and read to their heart's content, which is very cozy and wonderful.
The classroom should not be fixed, and occasionally take the children to the fields, parks, movie theaters, and even hospitals and prisons, so that the children can experience a different life ......
Sunday, there is no written homework, the parents take their children to experience labor, close to nature, watch movies, parent-child **** reading ......
Ideas too childish? You will surely laugh out loud. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new pair of shoes or boots, and you'll be able to get them to fit in the back of your head.
Zhu Yongxin, the initiator of the new education, has said many times that there are many shortcomings in Chinese education, but it is only the rebuke and flogging of the angry eyes of the King Kong style, although it is painful, but it does not help. For Chinese education, what is most needed is action and construction, and only action and construction are truly profound and subversive criticism and reconstruction.
In 2001, when I was a young teacher, I read Li Zhenxi's "The Heart Writes Poetry", "Democracy and Education" and other educational monographs, and I ventured to experiment in the "innovative class" I taught, visiting and recording one by one, and gathering parents and friends together to exchange issues, ideas and practices of family education. I also prepared a Handbook for Parents of Primary School Students. In short, I think it is necessary for parents and friends to change their concepts, from experience to scientific education, from one-sided focus on book knowledge to focus on children's behavior, from simple orders to equal communication. Here, I excerpted from the usual accumulation of some successful parents of good experience, for parents and friends to learn from, but I hope to be able to help you a little bit, but also wish you can soon train your children into the 21st century innovative talents.
If the status quo of home education in rural areas was not optimistic a decade ago, what is the status quo of home education now? It's not optimistic, or it's pretty bad.
The evening of the Spring Festival, I did a survey on family reading in the class, not to mention the parent-child **** read, left behind children a year and parents rarely meet a few times, even if individual parents at home, they seem to be particularly busy, where there is time to read? They believe in their bones that reading is a school thing, a teacher thing.
The class of more than 30 children, the most favorite reading is Yang Xinhao, his parents are dentists, every night, the family parent-child *** read an hour. And the vast majority of families do not have a study, no collection of books, parents are even less reading habits, they would rather spend their time playing mahjong, beauty, singing, square dancing, but also not willing to read with their children.
The current state of family education in the countryside is worrying! I almost every day in the sigh, anxiety, helplessness in the pain, suffering, looking forward to. Finally, I saw that this year's two sessions put family education legislation on the agenda, and on the first day of the sessions, a proposal submitted by the Central Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) to further promote the development of family education attracted a lot of attention.
National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) member Zhu Yongxin, vice chairman of the Central Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPPC), interpreted that today's parents are anxious about their children's education, more than 90% of the classroom teachers believe that there are problems with communication between home and school, parents involved in the communication of the enthusiasm of parents is not high, the home and school education concepts there are differences between the parents' lack of knowledge of family education, the general existence of anxiety and so on, the need for a concerted effort from all sides to support family education.
Mr. Zhang Shuo Guo, a teacher of new education, also talked about the reason why children nowadays don't read is that they can't see their parents reading. In other words, there is no atmosphere of reading at home. She also said, Don't hate yourself for being negative, try to understand embrace it and give her patience hugs and love.
Mr. Hao said in his lecture, "What Converted Me to Education," that it's hard to do something that doesn't stem from an internal motivation to really go deep and last. He said when talking about the book club, as long as there are five people to come together to **** read, anyway, other people to come or not he has to read, do not come to read by themselves, came to be read together.
I pondered their words over and over again, and had the feeling that "there is no way out of the mountain, and there is another village in the dark". They made reading a habit and were willing to be reading promoters, so as a seed of the new education, what can I and can do to promote reading? Is my dream of education always just a dream?
Mr. Hao Xiaodong's approach has inspired me. Having spent more than twenty years in rural elementary schools, I know that the key to rural family education lies in awakening the parents to the idea that only when the parents study hard can the children learn every day.
Sometimes I think I'll start a parent training program at home after I retire, so that young parents and older mothers-in-law can share their experiences.
Why wait until retirement? The evening, double holidays, are my own time, I can start from the parent-child *** reading, anyway, my ten-year-old son and I read every night, a few more people to read together, reading atmosphere is more intense, perhaps also can really help them.
Say do it, I immediately began to take action, in my study set up a few tables, set up a reading room, so that at least a dozen people can be accommodated. Invite students and parents and friends who love to read to my home to read together for an hour every night. The first time I saw this, it was a very good time for me.
Happily, after two days of hard work, I have successfully invited two parents and friends, they are willing to bring their children to my home to participate in the parent-child *** reading, looking forward to more parents and friends to join, **** enjoy the good time reading!
Grateful to meet the new education gurus Chen Dongqiang, Zhang Shuoge, and Hao Xiaodong ...... If not for their touching reports, I might not have become an active promoter of reading for all so quickly.
Grateful to meet the new network teacher trainees in Slippery County, if not because we believe in the years, believe in the new education, I would not be so persistent, so happy to act and insist.
I believe that action, there will be harvest; persistence, there will be miracles.
