Chapter 35 To Play or Not to Play To Learn or not to learn

Since ancient times, there has been little research on the implicit content of play in Chinese education, and it is often compared to play and idleness. In fact, in the competition of play, there are many things that are invisible, intangible, invisible, soundless, and traceless, which lead the child to where to go, how to go, how far to go, what to abide by, and what to oppose; I think that play should be to teach people how to adapt to the time, place, and people of the advanced wisdom activities, play in the quarrel and cooperation, the growth of children has the effect of gathering the essence of the sun and the moon, a person who can play, dare to play, will definitely grow into a harmonious person. If my thoughts are not wrong, then Wang Xile will establish a high prestige in the hearts of the people from now on.

It's another Wednesday. That day I said, "Joy, your ability to write your homework has improved. From today, Wednesday will not reward time to play the game, can you buy time by half past nine?

"Okay. However, the story still has to be told. ”

My son didn't say a word of bargaining, which was much more than I expected. I felt a kind of character growing in him. I said, "Okay." The Sui and Tang dynasties have repeated a lot, and the next time I will talk about the 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'. ”

"It's Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu. The son said.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"Cartoons have acted. He said, "It's eight o'clock, and I'm going to hurry up and do my homework to buy time to play with the computer." ”

My son finished his homework before half-past eight. I was surprised. I only found out about tomorrow's midterm exam when I asked. The son played the game and went. I tried to persuade him, but my mouth stiffened and I couldn't open it. His wife heard the sound of the computer and said, "Wang Xile, tomorrow is the midterm exam and you are still playing games?!"

"It's okay, I'm sure. ”

"Wang Jianhua, come here," the wife said sternly, "That's how you educate your son!? You go to the world to inquire if there are any such students! Tomorrow there is an exam, and you will play games today!"

The wife spoke loudly.

"Alright, alright, I'm not going to play, I'm going to be satisfied. The son snorted angrily, turned off the computer, and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

"Look, look, the son you have taught cannot speak, and when he speaks, he becomes an enemy. The wife was so angry that she turned around and went into the bedroom.

I stood there in a daze, feeling indescribable, wanting to go this way and that there, and finally somehow entered my son's house. He was packing up his bed and getting ready for bed. When I came in, he said:

"Adults are just unreasonable. I earned the time to play with the computer on Wednesday, it's so unreasonable!" The more the son spoke, the more angry he became, he got into the quilt and covered his face with the quilt and wept secretly. I stood dumbfounded on the edge of the bed and didn't know what to say, "Joy, the clock owes you an hour to play the game, and let it make up for you two hours after the exam," I somehow suddenly came up with the sentence.

The son's crying stopped abruptly, crying was not like crying, laughing was not like laughing, and said, "Dad, what do you say?"

"Count. ”

The son wiped his tears vigorously, and tonight's incident seemed to be reluctantly discharged from his body, and said, "Dad, talk about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms." So we regained the beauty of the night, and this beauty soon became the sound of our son's sleep.

When I came out of my son's room, my brain was still a little unconscious, and I didn't have any reason to explain what happened today. I frowned and went into our bedroom, "I'm sorry to come in, you're still a teacher! Have you ever seen whose child has an exam tomorrow and is still playing, playing, and playing today. Your new method is no newer than the universe, and I think you are unwilling. The wife said.

I felt my teeth on my wife's heart. "Ahh The child has just improved his learning in the dynamics, why do you always want to go back to the old road? The child has come to the worst time, how can you limit him when he has improved?" I said.

The wife opened her mouth and made a humane smile, saying, "I won't tell you 'gotta,' you can do whatever you like!"

"Heh, you messed with your son and asked me to wipe my ass. ”

"If you don't wipe it, who will wipe it? He is your son, let you wipe it, it is to give you face. ”

Home, returned to its original tranquility.

The earth is spinning so fast, it's Friday in the blink of an eye. In the afternoon, my son will hand out the midterm exam papers. The sky was a little dark, and I didn't see him coming. The wife said with a chill: "I must have failed the test." If he does well, he can run faster than a rabbit. ”

Silence, uncomfortably silence. My wife walks back and forth in the office house, and I feel that she is lonely and desolate. This kind of loneliness and desolation is not limited to a wife! Thousands of families with students in China can get rid of the torment of grades. "Don't wait, go to the elementary school to find it," said his wife.

"My son is here," I said, pointing out the window.

The wife immediately looked out. My son was running from the school gate to the school building.

"Why did you come so late?" asked his wife as soon as her son entered the office.

"Dad, how much will you make up for those two hours of games on Wednesday?" the son asked about this without answering his wife's question.

"Play, play, nothing else in my heart. The wife gritted her teeth and asked, "How were your midterm exams?"

The son was then freed from his mind. He took out the paper from his schoolbag and said happily: "I am excellent in mathematics and Chinese. I got in the top three in math and the teacher praised me in class. ”

The wife opened it and saw that it was 97 points in mathematics and 89 points in Chinese. The wife kissed her son happily and said, "Let's go to the hot pot." ”

On the way, his son actually talked about classmate Chen Zhi. He felt that Chen Zhiguang's learning ability was weak and he was treated very unfairly. His sad tone shook me. The son has been living in the adversity of the score, and he has been punished no less than anyone else, and he still has the heart to care about others, and if this development continues, the son must be a person who is diligent in thinking and seeking help from experience, and in the future he will definitely have the ability to remove obstacles and move forward on his own.

"Dad, the hot pot restaurant has arrived. My son's shout brought me out of my meditation, and he said, "Dad, why are you so distracted?"

"Your dad is on the nerves. An average teacher also wants to think about expert issues. "The wife said,

"Dad is thinking about how to eat all the mutton today. "I didn't answer my wife's words.

"Don't brag, how many times have you been shabu, which is my opponent!"

"Don't blow, speak with facts. ”

"Focus Interview. The son humorously answered.

"Focus interviews! You're still on the news!" I said.

After entering the hot pot restaurant, the son handled everything without the adults opening his mouth, and then he went outside to play. After a while, everything was ready, and he returned, as if calculated. The son is really a good hand at shabu-shabu, just like fighting. His wife wanted to talk to him about his studies, but he was not interested in anything. Eaten. The son asked, "Dad, can you make up for the two-hour game on Wednesday today?"

"Fuck off. The wife said happily, "It's more difficult for adults to ask you about your studies than to squeeze toothpaste, and your eyes are on your eyebrows when you talk about playing games." ”

"Mom is so stupid. ”

"Why?" asked his wife.

"You scold yourself, you say stupid or not. ”

"Fuck off, it's not to make you angry. ”

"Mom was stupid again. ”

"Hahaha" we laughed together.

"Joy, those two hours will make up. I said, "Why is it getting harder and harder for you to get off the computer until eleven o'clock all this time?"

"Dad, the game is different now than before, it's too difficult. Last week, I couldn't find anything when I played 'Swordsman Love', and I was in a hurry. Wednesday's two hours are added today, and I can hit until one o'clock in the evening, so I don't believe I can't find it. ”

"Oh! I said. Actually, I didn't know anything, because I didn't understand what my son meant by "I can't find something".

On the way home after the hot pot, the son suddenly said, "Mom, I'll discuss something with you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I don't want to go to English classes anymore. Boring. ”

"It's very difficult to learn English, so why don't you say you won't go if you don't go! ”

"I really don't want to go, I'm sitting in it and suffocating people. ”

"If the child doesn't want to go, forget it, listen to more English tapes and slowly infiltrate!" I said.

"Now it's what you wanted. My wife rolled me over and said.

Here's what happened: Teacher Hai from middle school ran an English class, and she liked Wang Xile very much. In the face of the craze for the whole people to learn English, his wife couldn't stand it anymore and insisted that her son participate. I said, "Hasn't my son been learning English?"

"You also call learning English! Listening to tapes, like playing, is not formal at all, it is pure disappointment. The wife said.

"'If you go right, you will live, and if you go against you, you will die' This is the highest instruction for educating people, not a joke. I said, "China is a Chinese-speaking country with a single language, so it is not easy to learn a foreign language well, but in Europe it is normal to know three or four languages." For example, our middle school has been doing well in the English college entrance examination for many years, but can you name anyone who can use English as a language?"

"Nope. The wife thought for a while and said, "Don't talk about this small place in Gillantai, there are many dumb English in the whole country." ”

"Language is not a science, it is used to communicate, and so many people have done useless work to learn English, which will definitely damage the passion for lifelong learning in the future. I said, "Actually, only 10% of the population is likely to learn it well." Like the Chinese language in China, other countries are also learning, but it will only become an elective course, and it will never become a compulsory course, which is a major event related to the cultural loyalty of the whole people. ”

"I understand what you're saying, but I don't want to hear it," said the wife, "and it doesn't matter if the child learns English or not, and it doesn't matter if he understands it or not." But college entrance examination scores are real things, and that's the most important thing!"

"I've always been interested in learning English. Of course, it is not about forcing children to invest much time in learning English, but mainly to study the cases of some successful English learners. What they all have in common is that they must have a strong will. And where is Wang Xile's will to learn?"

"In, in, in. The wife was speechless.

"Will is not created in a vacuum, nor is it shouted by slogans, nor is it spoken every day. It needs the smelting of things. I said.

My son was annoyed to death after only three weeks of going to the English class, but there are thousands of children in various intensive classes, and I have an indescribable pain.

When we entered the house, my son went to play games, and my wife and I watched TV in the living room. The wife said, "This morning, Mr. Hai also said that I was too indulgent to the children. Other parents not only accompany the students but also learn by themselves, and then teach their children when they go back. I just told Teacher Hai to strengthen discipline Wang Xile, and I really can't say this tomorrow. ”

"Wife, it's not a good thing to accompany you, it's difficult to educate lively children, they don't like to learn, and once they are guided, they have great potential. I said, "Besides, many parents have not learned Chinese well, and listening to English to teach their children is really a testament to the chairman's 'There have been many miracles in the world since ancient times, and they dare to change the sun and the moon into a new sky.'" This sentence is also an incomprehensible spectacle of Chinese education. ”

"Judging from my son's current situation, you are right. My son has really changed in his play. English is too important, though. ”

"There is no such thing as a quick and lasting thing in the world, and only by accumulating day after day in the right direction can people become talented. I think using play to shape children's character is the only correct path for children's progress, let's stick to it slowly!"

The wife nodded reluctantly.
