Education Story 1
After buying it home , he told his daughter how this thing is not good and not worth it, and how it is not as good as other toys, but because it is your own choice and you like it, I agreed to buy it for you, so I meet your request, which represents me. I respect you, and I also want you to understand that when you choose something in the future, you must choose the best and the most valuable, because there is only one opportunity for you. If you choose not well this time, you will not have another chance. The opportunity has been chosen.
When his daughter is older, he will take her in and out. Every time he enters the elevator, he will tell his daughter to say hello to everyone he knows or does not know. , so as soon as the daughter enters the elevator, she is called grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, brother, and sister. Some are not enthusiastic and ignore her, but most people think that the child is cute and polite, and they will respond to her. , like her. Gradually, her daughter became lively and enthusiastic, and she could mingle with people wherever she went. He said that only if the child grows up in such an environment will his personality be healthy.
When his daughter was three years old, he was sick and refused to take medicine. He suddenly asked his daughter to help him pee. The daughter ran to the bathroom door and suddenly woke up. She ran back to him and said, "Dad, I can't help you pee." Pee, I can't help you. "
So he took the opportunity to tell his daughter: "The body is your own, and no one can help it. Just like if you are sick, if you don't take medicine or get an injection, you will feel pain and discomfort. , no one else can help you. But if you listen to the doctor and take medicine and injections on time, the disease will be cured quickly and the pain will no longer occur. "My daughter understood and began to take the medicine obediently. From then on, as long as the daughter could do things by herself, she would never trouble others and she was very independent.
My daughter went to school, but He never paid attention to his daughter's grades and scores like other parents. His purpose was to let his daughter go to school to live a collective life, make friends, and have a happy childhood. He said that he could learn knowledge from his daughter and relatives later. Compared with children, look at him, he can only read and memorize rote books, just like some people can't play the piano without music, but as long as you have the music in your heart, you can still play the piano.

Education Story 2
Paul and Joey Oden are Americans and hold American teaching certificates. However, they are currently teaching in the mountains of Guizhou, China, and they are unpaid international volunteers in Sheng, Guizhou. Hua Vocational College is located in Huishui County, Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, nearly 15 kilometers away from the county seat.
The couple came to Guizhou with their three underage daughters. . Many Chinese colleagues don’t understand them because parents want to create the best educational conditions for their children, but they take their children to remote and backward villages. Aren’t they afraid that their children’s studies will be delayed? Yes. Therefore, mother Joy’s explanation is: The best education is not only in books, but also in life. The family should be together.
This is very important. At Guizhou Shenghua Vocational College, almost no one. I don’t know Abele. This girl with yellow skin and black hair cannot understand Chinese, but she speaks fluent and pure English. She has her eyes closed and uses a blind stick, but she always has a smile on her face. Abele is Paul and Joey. Their eldest daughter, whose Chinese name is Abi, is 12 years old. She is also a blind Chinese girl they adopted.
In addition to Abi, the Odens also brought two blond and blue-eyed daughters. Elizabeth, who was 5 years old at the time, and Sarah, who was less than 3 years old.
Why did the family come to a foreign country to volunteer when the children all needed care? Joey said: "We live very comfortably in the United States, but we want to help people in need. The reason why we took the children together Because we are a family. I know that there are some Chinese families where the children live with their grandparents, or the children go to school with their mother in one city while their father works in another place. But we feel that a family should be together. We eat, talk, and live together every day. This is very important.”
After arriving in Guizhou, everything from food, clothing, housing, and transportation to the smallest details of their lives were completely different from their previous lives. The children were not used to it, "I want to go back to the United States!" Abi's two younger sisters occasionally shouted at the Odens, but even so, Joey still planned to insist on completing the two years of volunteer service he had originally promised. "The best education is not all in books, but also in life. We also want to take this opportunity to let children see that there are many people in the world who do not have as good a life as us and do not have the opportunities we have." Joy said .
Education Story 3
The city is beautiful, but strong eyes are not enough. My brother said, it’s not bad, right? Forced to say, it’s not bad. My brother said, it’s not bad, but it’s not my home after all, and people look down on us. Qiang said, just think highly of yourself.
Qiang and his brother mended tarpaulins for people in a warehouse on the dock. Qiang is very capable and does meticulous work. He also picks up discarded lint and rags and keeps them for later use.
A storm suddenly broke out that night. Qiang got up from the bed and rushed into the rain curtain. My brother couldn't persuade him and called him a turtle egg.
In the open-air warehouse, Qiang inspected stack after stack and reinforced the lifted tarpaulins. When the boss drove over, he had become a water person. When the boss saw that the stored materials were not damaged at all, he wanted to give him a raise on the spot, but he said no. I just wanted to see if the tarpaulin I had repaired was strong. Seeing that he was so honest, the boss wanted to hand over another company to him and make him a manager. He said, "I can't do it. Let someone with higher education do it." The boss said, "I think your behavior is better than your culture. It's that kind of thing in a person!"
Qiang became the manager.
When the company just opened, it needed to recruit several young people with college education or above as salesmen, so it placed an advertisement in the newspaper. After hearing the news, my brother came over and asked me to find a good job for me. Forced to say, you can't do it. My brother said, can't you even look at the gate? Qiang said, no, you don't regard this as your own home. My brother's face turned purple and he cursed, "You have no conscience." Qiang said that only by doing your own thing well can you be conscientious.
The company has hired several young people with diplomas, and the business is booming. After a few days, those young people with higher education learned about his background, and they felt jealous and asked, "How can we be under his control with our academic qualifications?" Qiang was not upset when he found out, and said, "We Since we are working together, let's get things done. Anyone can wear the manager's hat, but the value is not in this hat...
The college students looked at each other, Silence. A foreign businessman heard that this company has great development prospects and wanted to negotiate a cooperation project. Qiang's assistant said, this is a big fish, we must treat it well. Say it forcefully, my opponent. A foreign businessman came, a foreign Chinese, with a translator and secretary. Forced to ask in English, sir, do you know Chinese?
The foreign businessman was stunned and said, yes. Qiang just said, can we talk in our mother tongue? The foreign businessman just said "OK". After the conversation, Qiang said, how about we have dinner together? The foreign businessman nodded hesitantly. Dinner is simple but special. All the plates were gone, leaving only two steamed buns. Qiang said to the waitress, "Please put these two steamed buns into food bags and I will take them away." Although it was natural to say this, his assistant became nervous and kept looking at the foreign businessman. The foreign businessman stood up, grabbed Qiang's hand and held it tightly, saying, OK, we will sign the contract tomorrow! After the matter was completed, the boss held a banquet in honor of the foreign businessman, and Qiang and his assistants all went. During the dinner, the foreign businessman asked Qiang softly, what education have you received? Why can you do so well? Qiang said, my family is very poor and my parents are illiterate. But their education for me started with a grain of rice and a piece of thread. Later, my father passed away and my mother worked hard to support me in school.
She said I don’t expect you to be superior to others, just do your own thing well...
Education Story 4
I remember when I was in the second grade at the school where my mother taught, There are two annoying students in the class, 10-year-old Frankie and 9-year-old David. They were two brothers who were very poor in studies and both failed their grades. They also made some pranks every day, bullied the weak, and took pleasure in bullying their classmates and causing trouble. Once, they even got a small bomb and secretly placed it on a window frame. During class, a loud bang was heard. The teachers and students were frightened out of their wits, and several students peed their pants ( I am one of them). Over the past few years, almost everyone in the class has not been bullied by them - blackmailed, beaten and scolded, etc., but no one can do anything about them.
One day when I was in fifth grade, bad luck struck me. At that time, I was riding my bicycle home along the path, and when I heard Frankie rushing over from behind, yelling, "Get out of here, I'm coming," I had no time to escape (and nowhere to hide), and ended up being beaten. He crashed into a deep ditch on the side of the road, and the bicycle fell heavily on me. I fell until my nose was bruised, my eyes were swollen, and I got a big bump on my head. When Frankie saw that he was done, he whistled happily and walked away.
I hurried home and tried my best to wash away the mud and blood, hoping that my mother would not notice it. Otherwise, she would definitely tell the principal and punish Frankie, which would not harm Frankie (he I wish I could make chickens and dogs restless), and it is really harmful to me (he will definitely wait for an opportunity to take even more vicious revenge).
It’s a pity that the big green bag on the head cannot be pressed flat no matter what. In the evening, under my mother's repeated questioning, I couldn't hide it, so I had to tell the truth about the bullying, and just begged her not to report it to the principal.
Mom looked at me, thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, I'll talk to him myself tomorrow."
The next day, I was always uneasy , worried that a greater disaster was waiting for me, I even took a long way home after school, just for fear of running into Frankie again. After my mother got off work, she told me good news: "They will never bully you again." I think my mother must have reported the police chief and asked him to take these two bad boys who have done all kinds of evil and put them in jail. ——This is great!
Education Story 5
The excited children set out early in the morning, carrying water bottles and backpacks, under the leadership of the teacher. After changing to a few trams, everyone quickly arrived at their destination. The children dug happily in the ground and soon dug a lot of sweet potatoes. Time flies so fast and it’s time to go home in a blink of an eye. The teacher told the children: You can take the dug sweet potatoes as you like, but there is one condition: you have to walk for two hours and climb 48 steps when you get home. Therefore, everyone must be responsible for their own choices.
The children all want to bring more sweet potatoes home for their mother. Some even carry 5 kilograms of sweet potatoes in their backpacks. When we first started walking back, the children were still chirping and very excited. But before long, the children carrying 5 kilograms of sweet potatoes began to feel a little tired and became silent. Halfway through, the child's steps became heavy and slow with an overweight backpack, and he could no longer lift his legs. After a while, some children couldn't walk at all and sat down on the ground. When they saw the 48 steps appearing in front of them, one child finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
At this time, the teacher knelt down and asked the crying child: "How are you doing? Do you want help?" The child shook his head while crying - because they chose this 5 kilograms themselves and must be responsible. and persisted until the end. At this time, a child with a stronger head pulled up the crying child sitting on the ground, and everyone held hands and continued walking forward. The final result was: each child carried a backpack full of sweet potatoes, held hands and encouraged themselves, climbed the 48 steps, and walked back to the kindergarten. It can be seen from this example that "regret" and "regret" are not necessarily all bad things. As long as they are faced correctly, "regret" and "regret" can also breed good things. For example, a child carrying 5 kilograms of sweet potatoes home regretted his greed on the way, but still persisted until the end. This endurance, tenacity and sense of responsibility experienced and learned from "painful regret" is undoubtedly much deeper than any preaching.
In addition, having several "regrettable" people in a team will better promote mutual care and collaboration among team members.
For example, among the above children carrying sweet potatoes home, if some of them were crying and lying on the floor, but each child walked energetically for two hours home, then it would be impossible for the children to hold hands and encourage each other in the end. A scene of cheering each other on.
