Every Friday, teachers from the whole school district go to the central school to study.
Study politics and business.
Liu Ju sat next to me and said mysteriously: There are mistakes in Chinese textbooks, too. Can you believe it? ''
I think, no, even if there is a mistake, it's not your turn to look for it, is it?
He said: tigers sometimes doze off and don't believe you. ''
He took out the first grade primary school language and pointed to the word "lead" and said, "It is obviously a round pen, but pinyin is written as" money ". Isn't this misleading? ''
I'm really in distress situation. We call it a round pen, but it's actually a pencil! Who is mistaking people's children?
He looked through the book again and found the word "cellar": "Look at the cellar told by the red rhizome, but the pinyin is" cellar ". You say, red rhizome is called, red rhizome is called, can it make a sound? Seeing his serious face, I was in distress situation.
Liu Ju is a farmer's teacher. I believe this is the first time many people have heard this term. 1967, the county instructed each brigade to run a primary school, so that children would not leave the village when they went to primary school. And named this primary school "Farming Primary School". As the name implies, students go to school while farming. To put it mildly, they don't study full time. The teacher who cultivates the primary school is selected by the brigade and teaches while farming, hence the name "cultivator". Now apply a new word: part-time job.
Don't underestimate Liu Ju, whose ancestors were famous poor peasants for eighteen generations! Now his father is the branch secretary of the brigade, his mother is the director of women and children, his sister is the accountant of the brigade, and there are powerful leaders at home. Liu Ju had just finished high school and was an intellectual, so he was not satisfied with being a member, even a member of the "princelings". He wanted to be a noble job, so he pestered his mother to recommend him as a farming teacher. He is very satisfied with this job, because if you cut off the word "farming and reading", he will become a teacher.
It can be seen from his questions that he is serious and really wants to be a good teacher. I patiently said to him: there is nothing wrong with the Chinese book, it is you who are wrong. To be a teacher, you must study, or you will mislead others.
He seemed to listen and smiled awkwardly at me.
Soon after, I was ordered to go to the countryside to investigate the situation of farming and reading teachers. After a long walk, I found that Liu Ju is really good, although some are unreliable.
I have been to more than a dozen villages and found that all the farmers graduated from primary school. As for the teaching level, I can't bear to gamble. It is common to mispronounce a dialect and misinterpret its meaning in class. Chinese pinyin is also ignorant.
One of them teaches students to draw. He said, today, I will teach you to draw ducks. So he drew a stick figure on the blackboard. Honestly, it's not bad Maybe he wants to show his strength. But the duck neck is very long, and there is a bag on the duck head, which looks a bit like a goose. After the painting, a duck character was written diagonally below, and a set of pinyin letters "Xia" was written after the duck character. I guess he wrote "Y" as "X". It's really interesting to paint ducks as geese and eat shrimps.
There is also a drawing class, which is relatively simple. He put an enamel cup on the platform for the students to sketch. I can't blame him. It's good to let the students play freely, but he was afraid that the students didn't know what they were drawing, so he wrote two big characters on the blackboard: "Zi Zhong". This "snake foot" is really funny.
As for the arithmetic class, there are not many problems in the first grade, and they will make mistakes in many problems above the second grade. As for how to teach, it is not clear. I read the students' exercise books, and they are all marked with a red tick regardless of right or wrong. Seeing homework full of red ticks naturally makes students happy and parents satisfied, but the effect is really chilling.
Listening to the children fluently reading the text with many typos in the local dialect and watching the children write arithmetic problems with strange answers, I am convinced.
I also listened to Liu Ju's class. He used dialect when giving lectures, but insisted on using awkward Mandarin when reading the text. There are no mistakes in arithmetic class. Physical education class conducts queue training for students, and several bamboo poles are planted on the not wide playground for students to climb. I also bought many comic books for idle students with my own money. This shows that he is serious about teaching and likes these children.
? I truthfully reported the investigation to the principal and expressed my worries and anxieties. The headmaster is a mountain man and has been working here since he graduated from normal school. She loves education and hopes that her children can receive better education and become useful materials.
A few days later, the headmaster called me and asked me if I would like to go to the village. I was a hot-blooded young man and didn't care. I immediately replied: obey the leadership arrangement. The headmaster was very happy and told me her plan in detail. It is to transfer several teachers to the village, replace several promising farming teachers, and train while working. I plan to spend a semester making up for them, and then put them back after the basic clearance, while those who go down are the students who have taught themselves from the beginning.
? We're going down. Chinese begins with pinyin, and arithmetic begins with counting.
? The level of those students is really terrible. The so-called terrible is not how bad it is, but that they have learned a lot of specious things from their teachers, and it is really not easy to start over.
? The first-year students can count from 1 to less than half of 100. Pinyin is not only incomplete, but also has problems with pronunciation, not to mention the rules of Pinyin.
? I once kindly asked a child what his name was, and he replied, what a good dog. I said it was a nickname. What's your name? He hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to me, saying, Teacher, this is my name. I opened it and found the cover of the exercise book. The name column says: Liu Daming. He doesn't even know his own name.
? Let's forget about the difficulties we encountered for the time being. For those teachers transferred back to the central school, the headmaster arranged this way: together with the students in the class, do the homework assigned by the teacher like the students, and look up the dictionary to mark and explain the new words in the text in the rest of the time, and read every text through in Mandarin. After a few weeks, everyone made great progress, especially Liu Ju. The headmaster was very satisfied, but Liu Ju was preoccupied. He said to me: if you don't learn and don't know, the more you learn, the worse you feel.
? I comforted him: study and then know the shortcomings, knowing the shortcomings is progress.
? Later, Liu Ju returned to the village to teach the second grade, and he voluntarily resigned. He said that Chinese arithmetic in the third grade was ugly. I can't admit my child. I want to study.
Later, I heard that he entered the normal school as a student of workers, peasants and soldiers. Of course, he has some privileges and occupies the position of an educated youth.
After studying in a normal school for two years, he finally became a public teacher, still teaching in the original village. After several years of tempering, he has become an impeccable teaching backbone.
No matter what he used to be, love can make a career-I sincerely sigh!
