Not studying well can basically mean that everything has been denied. It’s not good to love painting, it’s not good to love naturally, it’s not good to love to play with dogs, and it’s not good to love to see the colorful world outside. It turns out that a person's life can be summed up in such a general way.
How many times has been abandoned, how many times has been defined as a fool, how many times has been judged helpless, Ethan is that child, even if he is completely rejected, he still insists on his inner exploration. I can still lie in my father's arms and act like a baby with a happy smile. It's very satisfying. So there's nothing quite like the sense of abandonment that your parents put in a boarding school. They are also the children of their parents. The elder brother is proud, and he is a shame. The contrast that is too powerful is too hurtful.
The 165-minute film spends an hour telling the story of a child's lonely days, crying on the roof, weeping on the side of the road where his parents left, and secretly whimpering in the toilet at night. This stubborn child gradually lost his passion, only fear and precaution. How many times have I been kicked out of the classroom, ridiculed by classmates, and ignored by teachers. The teacher asked him to read a paragraph of text, he said, this is the alphabet dancing. How ridiculous, how absurd, how can this stupid boy be so stupid?
When a person is defined as "stupid", once he accepts it, he falls, and it is difficult to believe that he is actually the same as others. It's really sad to see Ethan getting more and more depressed, and it hurts to see him kneeling at the door. But what can be done? The education system is like this. There are so many people in India and so many people in China. We can't really teach everyone according to their aptitude, and it's impossible to really care about everyone's problems. In many cases, teachers can only ignore those who are behind for the progress of the whole class. This is where the sorrow lies. Everyone is eager to be noticed, some people study hard to be noticed, and some people are naughty to be noticed. "They're dancing," poor Ethan made this cry for help so many times, no one was aware of the sincerity and panic behind it, mixed with overwhelmed despair.
Therefore, the ingenuity of Nikumba's appearance could not impress the child. His heart was slowly dying and his life was withering. However, Nikumba was a caring and experienced teacher. He can trace back to the root cause of Ethan's problems, encourage Ethan to stick to what he loves, affirm him to help him, and understand him from the heart. This is due to the clear spring of the desert, which is the hope of life. Ethan's picture book was flipped over and over again, and I cried again and again along with the plot. Education has never been easy. One day I may be a teacher too, and I will influence the lives of one child after another. Can I be a good teacher who discovers my child's merits and allows her to flourish? If I am a parent, can I give up worldly prejudice just for him to have a happy life?
More and more questions make me pay more and more attention to the cause of education. Education requires passion, love, and patience. Nikumba on the show has it, Aamir Khan off the show has it, many teachers around us have it, and it’s this passion that energizes them and moves us deeply.
Every child needs love and understanding. It is necessary to empathize between people, so that we can better understand each other's hardships. As educators, we must especially care from the bottom of our hearts and discover the bright spots around us.
And every child, we must believe in ourselves, we can all shine, as long as we still have the inner persistence and don't give up our dreams.
There are so many stars, we are not alone.
