It's not easy to have such beautiful weather in March. There were no clouds, no wind, and a warm current made the weather a little uncomfortable. Today is the first day of school. There were a lot of children riding bicycles on the street, and everything seemed very lively. The children, dressed in beautiful clothes, greeted each other from time to time on the street, and had a good impression of each other. They went from bicycles to convoys. Son sped up over me and said:

"Goodbye Dad, I left with my classmates. ”

On the first day of school, my biggest concern was the teacher checking the winter vacation homework. Failing to pass the homework is to be ridiculed by classmates and punished by teachers. After getting off work at noon, I entered my mother's house, and my son sat and watched cartoons without making a sound. I couldn't help but ask, "Wang Xile, is your homework okay?"

"Okay, 100 percent OK. The son said casually.

He looked confident. This self-confidence was built up after a year and a half.

On Friday, my son came to the middle school at noon to look for me. Walking to the front hall of the teaching building, I saw through the glass that there were two round polishing marks on the terrazzo platform outside the door, but outside, these two circle marks could not be seen. This is something I stumbled upon. I grabbed my son and said, "Wait, what do you see under your feet?"

"Nothing. ”

"Look closely. ”

"There is nothing but the earth," said the son, "Daddy, are you lying to me again by asking me to drink water from an empty bottle in Huxi?"

"Nope. This time it's true. ”

"There's nothing!" The son squatted down and touched his hand and said, "Does dust count?"

I took him by the hand and went inside the building, pointed through the glass and said, "What do you think is that?"

"Two circles," he said, "is strange! I can't see it outside, but I can see it clearly from the inside." ”

"Joy, what does this mean?" the son tried to say something slowly, but could not say anything. I then said, "Joy, what helps us see things that we can't see?"

"It's glass. ”

This shows that people can see one thing clearly in society, or do one thing, and they must help to complete it. This help may be a person or a thing, which is empathy. The fact that you can easily see the previously invisible circles from the glass is actually a kind of thinking innovation. Human learning is to improve this ability to look at problems from different angles, revise strategies, and serve goals. Are school test scores very important to you right now?"

"Of course. The teacher said every day. ”

"Students are doing their best to score 100 points, this is a deep-rooted tradition of Chinese education, although Dad supports you to play, but this resistance is limited, so in the process of you go to school, you must learn to deal with the relationship between play and learning smartly, as much as possible to reduce the number of times Dad asked the teacher to be blamed, insist on studying for one hour a day, gradually find a learning strategy that suits you, cultivate the habit of thinking and finding new methods, and let learning and games the same, slowly become an organic part of life. ”

"Dad, my academic results are coming in the morning! I've become the top student in my class! ”

"I know that," my son didn't understand. I went on to say, "What I want to say to you through this incident is that learning from a single book is not good for a child's progress. ”

"Why?" the son opened his mouth wide.

"Joy, did you just stand on the two circles and find the circles?"

"Nope. ”

"If you compare a circle to learning, what do you want to do if you want to see learning?"

"Leave learning. ”

"Joy, you are so perceptive. You need to study hard, but you need to go in the right direction. Joy, what is the direction of learning?"

"Master a good way to learn. ”

"No, the learning method is just a skill, but the learning direction is to answer why you want to study, which can only be found from real life, no one can help you with this kind of thing, only yourself. ”

My son was puzzled and walked with me on the way home.
