Sahala is a student who needs "special help". She doesn't do her homework, she doesn't open her mouth to study, she doesn't study, and she has to repeat the grade. However, Sahara is crazy about reading and writing, and there is a secret hidden in the library. The "weird" teacher Bodie discovered the "secret self" in Sahala's heart. Under the leadership of Teacher Bodie, Sahara experienced a wonderful transformation and began a special journey of growth.
There are three main characters in the book, namely Sahara, Miss Bodie and Delhi. Sahara likes reading and writing. She lives with her mother, often goes to the library to read books on Saturday, and hides her writing quietly in a corner of the library. I like writing my own things in class, but I don't like doing my homework. After the teacher found out, he put away some stories he had written and put them in the school filing cabinet. This filing cabinet contains evidence of Sahara's poor performance since she entered school, which is a heart disease for Sahara and a psychological shadow for her. For this reason, the school listed Sahara as a "special student" and needed to receive so-called "special care" in the hall of the teaching building. The students looked at Sahara like monkeys, which seriously hurt Sahara's self-esteem. There is a vivid description of the ridicule of Sahara: "I pretended not to hear their ridicule, but I really heard it, not only my ears, but also my cheeks, so they turned red." So they stared at the wall, staring at my knees, staring at my shoes, and my nails heard them, so I chewed them desperately, and the mocking voice penetrated my clothes, tore my skin and echoed through my bones in my empty body. "Sahara is a very clever boy. Why did he become a "special student" in the eyes of teachers? I think teachers should also reflect on their teaching methods! This kind of "special care" that hurts children's self-esteem is a great blow to children's hearts, and a good child may go to ruin. Suhomlinski said in "Suggestions for Teachers": Don't force children to study books for as long as possible, but cultivate wisdom, develop brains, teach them to observe the world and develop intelligence. )
There is also a Delhi classmate who received special education with Sahara. He is really a modern problem student. Sahara described Delhi like this: "Sometimes Delhi will attend classes with us. I think he may have received special education since the age of dinosaurs. Well, it's not that exaggerated, but at least it started on the day of the founding of the People's Republic of China. I kicked a teacher's leg bone in grade one, and when I was in grade three, I grew taller, and finally I could hit the teacher on the nose, so another teacher was unlucky. Although I heard it from others, God knows whether it is true or not. My mother said that reading can't just look at his cover. If Delhi is also a book, its title must be Crime Story.
Sahala met a unique teacher in the year when she failed to repeat the grade. Ms boddy never beats or scolds her students. Her new curriculum reform is unique, such as story sharing, solve riddles on the lanterns, time travel, world exploration, crazy science and so on. In carrying out every activity, Ms. Bodie fully trusts and respects every student and gives them the right to express their opinions. This kind of atmosphere makes Sahala gradually integrate into the group and get rid of loneliness and inferiority. Sahara's confidence was rekindled, and she began her dream of a secret writer again. In the long journey of self-enclosed mind, Sahala likes Frank's poem "My Self-portrait" best: when I was a child, I just hid in the corner of the playground and was my playmate. I don't like dolls, I don't like games, animals are not friendly to me, and birds even fly away. If someone asks for me, I will hide behind a tree and shout, "I am an orphan!" " "Now, I have become the center of all good things, writing beautiful poems and pouring out beautiful dreams. Every time I finish reading this poem, Sahara feels that he is at the center of all good things, and his heart is full of infinite yearning. Sahara has changed from a problem student with inferiority, self-isolation and indifference to the surrounding things to a student who dares to integrate into the group and boldly stand in front of his classmates to show himself. This in itself shows the success of education. The saplings carefully cared for by Mr. Bodie have finally thrived. Teacher Bodie has placed infinite hope and trust on every student, believing in seeds, believing in years and waiting for flowers to bloom. )
Teacher Bodie's teaching method is remarkable. For the two problem students in the class, her method is not to criticize and give up, but to give full respect and understanding. Sahara got acute gastroenteritis and didn't go to school. Teacher Bodie visited her home. Sahara heard the teacher's knock at the door and pretended to be asleep. In fact, she was eavesdropping on the conversation between the teacher and her mother to see if the teacher had reported it. Under normal circumstances, teachers like to do this when they visit their homes. Mother asked Miss Bodie, "How is Sahara this semester? Is it different from before? Teacher Bodie said: Very good! Mom said, "haven't you read her file?" Teacher Bodie said, "I hate so-called files. I always read students' files until the end of the semester. If someone is always gossiping and judging you, you will understand. If a child is dishonest, slow-witted and doesn't study, time will tell me. I have eyes, I can see by myself, and I don't need any documents. " Mother then asked, "What do you think of Sahara?" Teacher Bodie said, "She can be a writer in the future. "Sahara listened to these conversations and felt that her heart was like a balloon that had just been inflated by an air pump. It quietly expanded. What does the teacher want to talk about during his home visit? Is it blindly blaming children, parents' uncooperative or looking for the advantages of children in front of parents? Teacher Bodie gave us a good demonstration. Protect children's self-esteem, explore their potential, and make them feel that they have the possibility of unlimited extension, and our education will be successful. )
This child in Delhi is really a headache for all teachers. In real life, if students like Delhi, it is estimated that they have long been abandoned by the school! It seems that they are dissatisfied with all the teachers, like to give teachers nicknames, don't do their homework, write diaries full of typos, have a strong sense of psychological prevention, and always want to attack others. Analyzing from the concepts of fatherly love and maternal love, this Delhi child lacks trust, and his mother's doting on him makes him do whatever he wants. Selfishness, willfulness and rudeness are his labels, and schools often let him receive "special education", which makes him fragmented and unfriendly to all teachers. Everything the teacher said seemed to be directed at him, which made Gemdry separate from others and even hostile, hiding himself. In class, Miss Bodie will call Delhi's name. She will spend a long time waiting for Delhi to stand up and answer, but Delhi doesn't want to answer. She is still cursing "stupid Brody" privately. When Mr. Bodie heard this, he asked what Delhi was talking about. Delhi said, "Why do you call me a git?" Bodie said he never called you a git, so stop talking crazy, okay? Delhi suddenly stood up and kicked Mr. Bodie's podium. Mr. Bodie was not afraid, so he went to Delhi and kicked the table in Delhi. Delhi said you didn't kick hard enough. Bodie told him to stand up and kicked Delhi's table three feet away, making Delhi dumbfounded. My former teachers were scared to death. They were supposed to invite parents and then carry out "special education", and this Delhi lost in the first round! When Delhi keeps a diary, he always scolds the teacher. Let's look at what he wrote: "Why did she hit me in front of the whole class? I didn't do anything. Why does Brody Brody wonder why Stone calls me a git? She's really annoying. By the way, Minnich, be careful, I won't let you go. " This is Delhi's diary, punctuation, always attacking and cursing others. Teacher Bodie's comment is like this: "I told your mother not to swear in class." You even spelled "pig" wrong. Write "pig" ten times and you will know how to write it. Besides, I never want to see or hear this word in the classroom again. Civilized language, remember! Mr. Brody (I only allow you to call me that, so we're even) Look, what an interesting way to educate. Mr. Bodie knows that it will not take a day or two to change such an old fogey as Delhi, because he has too many shortcomings, so he has to be tough when he is tit for tat. )
Finally, Mr. Bodie told an apple story. After the story, Mr boddy put an apple on the desk in Delhi. This is Mr. Bodie! Her education is often hidden inadvertently, hidden in many details in the classroom, and many practices are worth learning by our front-line teachers. The transformation of students with learning difficulties and problem students has a long way to go. Simple and rude education can only push students to the opposite of education, and criticism and mental punishment may bring more harm to students. As a teacher, if we can try our best to create suitable conditions for farmers, provide them with sufficient nutrients, carefully manage them, and put our roots deeply into the classroom year after year and into the hearts of students, flower of life can flourish.
