If education does not practice children's progress from the perspective of spiritual growth, then education is not education, but a lively or even a game. The mind has an incomparably great energy. It has the potential to develop in the direction of good, or it has the potential to destroy everything in the direction of evil.

Just after the "June 1st", Wang Xile had two things, which made me feel that the life education in the past few years has shown signs of success in shaping his soul, and I have an intuition that tells me that my son has begun to have the mental strength to move forward on his own life journey. The first is an essay called "Disappointment" that gave me confidence, the full text of which is as follows:

Disappointment is inevitable in life's journey.

Children's Day is coming, and everyone is looking forward to it, and I am no exception. But my hope did not last long when it was swept away by a storm, and it went like this:

Every year on Children's Day, I have to select progressive students, so I was strict with myself last week, hoping that my classmates would vote for me. In the days when I was approaching June 1st, my teachers and classmates often praised me for my progress, and I thought I would definitely be able to get it this time, not to mention how happy I was.

When it came to the class meeting, the class selection began. At the beginning, I was really happy to get six votes in a row, and suddenly Liu Qian's name appeared. I think, this is just a purebred white horse with a small black spot, Liu Qian's vote is just accidental, I didn't expect this black spot to get bigger and bigger, my name seems to be the Yellow River has broken off!

In a short period of time, I tied with Liu Qian. With the sound of the votes, she and I had draws again and again. In the end, Liu Qian had two more votes than me, and I was defeated.

Although I was disheartened and sank to the bottom of the sea like a red-hot stone, I no longer believed in tears, because I began to believe in the saying "If people help themselves, God will help".

That day, after reading the child's article, I was moved by a lot in my heart. In our educational atmosphere that lacks self-affirmation, it is not easy for a third-grader to cheer himself on in the pain of failure.

The second thing was that on the fifth day after June 1, Wang Xile ran to my office at noon with a letter and said, "Dad, the People's Education Publishing House has sent me a letter. ”

I took it and looked at it, and it was really a reply letter from the People's Education Publishing House. The letter reads:

Wang Xile children:

Hello!

Thank you for your interest in our materials. This photo and caption are provided by Xinhua News Agency, and I don't think there will be any mistakes. As for why I wore a single dress, I speculate that this photo may have been taken in the summer. The plateau area is covered with snow all year round, and the place where there is no snow is not because the snow has melted, but because of the sand and gravel and the Gobi, there is no water, and naturally there is no ice and snow.

It seems that you are a very brainy child who is also willing to question, this is what we advocate, I hope you can persevere.

"Wang Xile, did you really write a letter?!" I asked in amazement.

"Found a problem, why didn't I write. ”

"Do you have a draft of your letter?"

"Yes. ”

"Where?"

"On the computer my D drive. ”

"I'll take a look when I go back. You really can do it! As I spoke, I stepped forward and kissed him.

When I got home, I saw my son's letter on my computer that it read:

Edited by Teachers:

Hello!

Today, I saw this photo and text on page 60 of the sixth volume of the six-year compulsory education textbook "Ideology and Morality", "Love the Motherland Column and Take a Look at the Column": "The uncle of the People's Liberation Army stationed in the southwestern frontier of our country lives on a plateau with thin air and ice and snow all the year round, where the oxygen content of the air is less than half of that of the plain, and the cold period lasts for 300 days a year, which is called the 'forbidden area of life'. The uncle of the People's Liberation Army overcame difficulties unimaginable to ordinary people, such as cold and lack of oxygen, strong winds, ice and snow, and loneliness, insisted on standing guard and sentry, and built a monument for the motherland with his youth and blood. This is the uncle of the People's Liberation Army stationed at the Shenxian Bay outpost, quenching his thirst with ice and snow on the way to patrol. They take suffering as joy and hide their love for the motherland in their hearts. ”

The problem is that I don't understand what the picture is about, that is, how can the first snow melt in a large area on a plateau that is cold and oxygen-deficient, icy and snowy? It seems that the text and the picture are not accurate. The second thing that I can't understand is that the PLA uncle who patrols the alpine zone wears single shoes on his feet, wears a single coat on his body, and wears a single hat on his head.

I'm sorry for the trouble.

I wish you all the best in your work and a healthy family.

21 May 2004

After I finished reading the letter he had archived on his computer, Wang Xile couldn't wait to ask: "Dad, there are also problems in the editor's letter." ”

"What's the problem?"

"The main thing I can't figure out is that the PLA uncle was wearing very thin clothes, which shows that it was very hot at the time, and why the snow on the ground on the photo did not melt is not reasonable." ”

"Joy, Dad can't answer that question, but we've done our best. Now the main thing is to solve the problems around you, only if you have the ability to solve the problems around you, can you have the possibility of facing remote problems in the future, joy You are right. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

Everything is as Wang Xile said, he is changing himself and also affecting the friends around him, because during this time, another child came to my house to play games, according to his son, his progress ushered in an opportunity for his friends.
