Thank you, dear child, for telling me about Chinese reading comprehension for the first time last night. He told me that he read an article for 40 minutes and read it five times, and finally understood it.
Look at the excited face and bright eyes of the child, look at the paper-covered article, and listen to him explain the main idea and answering ideas in detail. Somehow, I was touched.
This is a hurdle for him to break through. As a mother, I watched him fall and get up several times, and finally ushered in the dawn of hope. At this moment, I really want to cheer for him.
Children go to school early, from small to large, are not too fascinated. Good grades, not bad students, but by no means top students. In primary school, neither we nor our children realized the cruelty of competition in exam-oriented education. We have been taking him to play leisurely for six years.
In those six years, we watched countless movies and documentaries, and we went out to travel. Qinghai, Taiwan Province, Shandong, Dalian ... Beautiful rivers and mountains, to name a few. We listen to all kinds of stories. Xiao Lu talks about the history of China, Xiao Lu talks about the history of the world, Can Cao talks about the Three Kingdoms, Can Cao talks about the journey to the west, Qiao Hu and Mi Fei ... which is the favorite of childhood? When I was in the first grade, he could speak more than 3,000 words from beginning to end in one breath. The class specially arranged a stage play for this purpose. He played the handsome Zhou Yu, and a group of young students won special prizes through their efforts.
However, these are not added to the exam.
He has been obsessed with aerospace since he was a child, and he loves airplanes even more. There are many models. There is also a model airplane brought back by a tourist plane from Taiwan Province Province at home, which is his best playmate when he takes a bath. He was almost 1.7 meters, but as soon as he saw the model airplane, he changed back to that cute little boy.
For a long time, he only watched a documentary "Only a few seconds away from the disaster", and told me more than once that his coolest and best profession was the experts who restored the disaster scene through various technical analysis and warned future generations. He hopes to be such a person in the future.
However, these are not added to the exam.
Although on the road to growth, there will still be some small surprises-
For example, the Diary of a Cowardly Child and the Sound of Music in last semester's English exam, when he went home alone, he only needed to quickly browse the articles on the test paper to know the correct answer. Come back and tell me that the people who have seen these movies in their class will always be single digits. He felt very surprised and surprised, but he was also very happy and happy. Because, these are all discs that he has watched several times.
However, none of this can help him go to a key middle school.
Cruel competition overwhelmed almost every child and parent. The horrible senior high school entrance examination is even worse than the college entrance examination. This is especially true in Jiangsu. 9. The final admission line of key high schools is 30 to 40 points lower than the full mark. This forced every child to hardly breathe.
In the past, we, especially ourselves, felt that we didn't make great efforts to go to college, so we didn't have a thorough grasp of the overall situation, and naturally we couldn't plan ahead and strategize. As a child standing on his parents' shoulders, the starting line certainly seems to have lost.
So since we entered middle school, we have been changing our habits and establishing them. Everyone, around the baton of the senior high school entrance examination, is struggling to move forward.
Other subjects have made rapid progress, and mathematics and physics occasionally get full marks. But Chinese has always been a headache for him. Especially reading comprehension, is almost the hardest hit. Even if he has subscribed to newspapers and books since kindergarten, even if Zheng wrote him two short messages, even if there are several bookshelves at home, his reading surface is still very narrow and shallow. He only likes reading his favorite books.
In his words, I often write my heart by hand, and I can write whatever I want. No affectation, no moaning, no rhetorical metaphor, no high lyricism. He often won prizes for his compositions in primary school. In middle school, his composition often only reached the passing line and never got high marks.
And we are just ordinary parents, and we don't have enough ability and capital to let our children bypass the education system and walk alone in the world. I gave him a happy childhood. If there is another happy teenager, I'm afraid there will be an extremely difficult middle-aged and elderly person in the future, just like the explosion on the Internet.
Therefore, we can't help but be anxious. Therefore, there is no choice but to meet the difficulties and adapt to the rules.
Appreciate the child's persistence and hard work. Fearless, he seems to be getting better and better, his heart is getting quieter and quieter, and there are more and more good habits.
Now I have fallen a lot, and I have learned to recite compositions, ideas and questions. Seeing that he once dismissed recitation and dictation and began to recite basic skills, the answer is more and more like a mold.
Sometimes, I don't know whether to be happy or sad when I watch this angular little doll being carved into a standard format. But then I thought, from arbitrariness to style, from style to solidification, from solidification to breakthrough, this is also the growth process of one's ability. There are no routines, learn routines, and then try to get rid of them. We have walked this road before.
Therefore, instead of worrying, it is better to bless.
I once asked my child if he would like to relax now if he could start all over again, but he was on his way to cram school. He thought for a long time and gave me an answer-no! I wanted to be so happy in primary school, but now I study hard. Because, there is no chance to play like that anymore!
Yes, there will never be another chance. Since then, it has entered a fierce competition all the way, from campus to society, from teenagers to hoary heads, everywhere.
The child's answer somewhat comforted my guilty heart. Right or wrong, maybe not 30 years, it's hard to draw a conclusion.
I always think that a child's childhood is irreversible, so I try my best to give him happiness, sunshine and many glorious times. Think about the years of social struggle in the future, and a beautiful childhood will always be our simplest foundation and source of strength.
Mr. Ye Shengtao once said that education is agriculture, not industry. Yes, children are not fast-growing industrial products, but the most beautiful plants, which need our patience to sow, water and prune. Let's move on. I believe that as long as we insist on regular watering and pruning, one day, they will all bloom beautiful flowers and grow into magnificent trees.
In fact, besides children, isn't it the same with our own growth? Repeatedly, slow is far, slow is fast, and patience is the standard of growth.
Please believe that everything is the best arrangement and wait patiently for the flowers to bloom.
