"Teacher, Xiaolu's pencil case was found." Two students ran to my office excitedly and reported to me with excitement.
"Really? It's really good news. Thank you for telling the teacher. The teacher is happy for you." Looking at their excited expressions, my heart was filled with not only relief, but also touch - from In this "traceless" education story, it is not just the students who are educated.
The first pencil case
The story started two weeks ago. That afternoon, I returned to school from a meeting outside. Most of the students in the class had finished school, and only a few students had not left. But when they saw me, they all gathered around and said to me - my classmate Xiaolu's pencil case was missing. . Seeing Xiaolu crying with red eyes, I felt indescribable anxiety: Xiaolu's pencil case is very unique and she always regards it as a treasure. Not to mention, there were a lot of lost pens in the class some time ago. , I had just been severely criticized, but why didn’t it get better?
At this time, the teacher in charge of the class in the afternoon introduced me to the specific situation: some students saw the pencil box on the podium before class in the afternoon, but It disappeared after class. After asking the teacher, it was not found. In this case, it must have been taken by the students in the class, there is no doubt about it. It's just that the best time to "solve the case" has been missed - the students have gone home, and the "stolen items" have undoubtedly been moved. what to do? As a class teacher, I have always been not very good at being a "policeman" in solving crimes. Send a text message, hoping that parents can cooperate with the class and help find the pencil box. "Hello parents: There is a student in the class whose pencil case cannot be found today. Parents, please check if your child's mouse is installed incorrectly. If there is an extra pencil case, please put it directly at the gate. In addition, the student's belongings have been lost. Regarding the situation, I have told my children many times in class, firstly, take care of your own belongings, and secondly, don’t take other people’s things. However, there is always a shortage of stationery in the class. I also ask every parent to pay attention to their children’s collections. It is not necessary to teach children to return their stationery. The teacher can help and keep it confidential. We hope that through our joint efforts, every child will develop good habits and the class atmosphere will be better. "
Early the next morning, a classmate actually came to me and handed over an exquisite pencil case. However, it was not Xiaolu's, but a pencil case from a foreign class that I picked up when I went to the calligraphy class for a calligraphy class. Although Xiaolu's pencil case was not found, a pencil case belonging to a foreign class member was returned, which can be considered a good start.
The second pencil case
Since I am not good at solving crimes, I decided to adopt a roundabout tactic this time. During class, I said lightly to the classmates: "I think this pencil box will definitely come back. Maybe a certain classmate did something wrong in a moment of confusion, but he didn't have a good way to return it; maybe it was a certain The classmate wanted to play a joke on Xiaolu and hide the pencil case as a prank, but now he can’t find it himself; maybe the pencil case is lying quietly in a corner waiting for us to find it... In short, I think, as children, how can we not be afraid of mistakes? As long as we correct them, we will still be good children. Moreover, we promised to go there a few days ago! As for the spring outing, I think we will consider it after the pencil box comes back - because this pencil box symbolizes the image of our class!"
After saying this, I looked at the children with confusion. With some anxious eyes again, I thought, it should be possible this time, right?
Sure enough, the next day, Xiaolu received an exquisite pencil case - Xiaoyao, a classmate who loved the class, used her pocket money to buy a brand new pencil case for Xiaolu. Maybe this A classmate particularly hopes that the class’s spring outing can be held as scheduled. Maybe she hopes to help the teacher help Xiaolu. The class also specially recommended this classmate’s deeds to the school. At the flag-raising ceremony on Monday, Xiaoyao served as the flag-raiser.
Although the second pencil case does not belong to Xiaolu, it gave the whole class a traceless education lesson! What a boy!
The third pencil case
At this point, I should be able to let go of this matter - I have done my duty. Although I did not investigate and collect evidence on this matter with great fanfare, I still It means using love and wisdom to teach children one invisible education lesson after another. However, I have always believed that if the pencil box was taken away by a child in this class, it will definitely be returned.
On the day Xiaoyao became the flag-raiser, I praised her in the class and said lightly: I hope Xiaolu’s real pencil case can come back. The teacher is waiting.
One day, two days, three days, and a week passed.
In the third week, when our class broadcaster went to the school’s Red Scarf Radio Station to broadcast, he found Xiaolu’s pencil case lying quietly in the lost and found area of ??the broadcast room. The classmates in the class happily brought the baby back, and the scene at the beginning of the article appeared. Later, I told the classmates in class: Because of the honesty, dedication, care and courage of the whole class to correct mistakes, the little pencil box was moved and it finally came back!
At this point, this story has a beautiful ending. I also thought of a sentence in an article I read: In the process of education, educators must also assume that they themselves also need to be educated. In the process of educating students, they themselves are also enjoying this education, so that they can communicate with them. Students blend together. It is precisely because the teacher conveys the emotion of enjoying education to the students, and the educator and the educated achieve bilateral integration, that the traceless effect is produced.
I think that in this seamless education story, the students did not gain the principles of life from rigid preaching, but felt the integrity, care, and correction of mistakes through vivid examples again and again. wrong. Perhaps, the highest state of education is this gentle and traceless "sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently"!
