Many people feel surprised when they see "Little Doudou by the Window". This is the "Little Girl by the Window" that they read in childhood! This is how Little Doudou appears: Taking the tram to the new school with her mother, Xiao Doudou, who had hardly ever taken a tram, immediately decided to be a conductor who filled a box with tickets when she grew up! But until yesterday, Xiao Doudou's ambition was still to be a spy! What? Xiaodoudou came up with a good idea: "Be a spy disguised as a conductor"; or, "I'll do neither, I'll be an artist who promotes on the streets!" "Reading this, readers who are not yet married and have children may smile knowingly, what a lovely idea; but parents may be blinded by the idea that these are unethical ambitions. Chinese parents are always used to this I take care of everything for my children and want to apply my own thinking to them, but I have never thought about whether my own life experience is really useful to my children. Shouldn't children have their own way of thinking and expression? Children must learn to adapt to society, but does adapting mean the loss of individuality? The teacher who asked Xiaodoudou to drop out just couldn't stand that Xiaodoudou was different from other children. In her opinion, well-behaved children are the best. Child. In fact, Xiaodoudou's "misdeeds" are not a big deal: Isn't it just that he thinks the desk at school is different from the desk at home, so he opens and closes it endlessly? Or, he stands by the window to say hello to the passing publicity artists during class? , or the drawings are outside the drawing paper, but these are the things that the teacher can't stand. In the teacher's mind, such children are either very troublesome or very strange. Fortunately, not all teachers think so (ah, fortunately). ), let’s take a look at what a really good teacher is like: Xiaodoudou’s beloved wallet fell into the toilet.

He didn't tell Xiao Doudou, "What are you doing?" or "It's too dangerous, stop it." go back. "This is the trust in children, even the youngest children can feel it. This principal is Mr. Xiaolin, the principal of Ba Academy that Xiao Doudou will never forget.

It was he who listened to Xiao Doudou for four hours on her first day at Ba Academy; it was also he who would say, "You are such a good boy!" every time he saw Xiao Doudou! There are only 50 students in Ba Xueyuan. Students attend classes on the tram. Every day, children can start with their favorite subject. In the afternoon, they can go for a walk, and the teacher will teach some knowledge about nature, history and biology during the walk. ; There is a swimming pool, and the principal encourages children to swim naked because, "It would be bad if boys and girls think that each other's body is different from their own, which is weird," and, "No matter what "Every body is beautiful" - in this way, even children with physical disabilities will not feel inferior. Anyone who studies education knows these principles, but it is not so easy to actually implement them.
