Teachers will inevitably encounter "problem students" in their teaching career. How should they choose to deal with them? Is it to let freedom, or to give understanding, tolerance and guidance? Teacher Erin in the "Freelance Writer" movie answered perfectly with action.
Handle classmate conflicts and create a harmonious atmosphere
There are students from different countries, different races, and different skin colors in the new class that Mr. Irene took over. There is always a strong smell of gunpowder among them, and conflicts are about to break out.
When Erin found her classmates circulating notes mocking the appearance of black people in class, she was furious, and she asked her classmates whether they really wanted other genocides to be genocidal? Want to repeat the tragic history of the Holocaust? Her questioning made the classmates reflect on their own behavior. At the same time, she also realized from the answers that the classmates were in the midst of a dire gang struggle, and their rebellion began with the oppression of life. Faced with this situation, Ms. Irene made the students understand each other through games, visits to the Holocaust Memorial Hall, and sharing sessions to celebrate the change, so that they could understand the serious consequences of gang struggles, and let them have a deep understanding of themselves and their social environment. , establish correct values and cultivate a sense of responsibility, so as to eliminate hostility among classmates and create a harmonious and loving class atmosphere.
Understand student situation and stimulate learning motivation
At first, the classmates thought that going to school was just a useless activity that they were forced to participate in. They just wanted to live in the school in a hurry. In their eyes, the so-called inclusive education was not fair, because they could not even get a new book.
Teacher Erin asked the students to record their own stories and read their diaries if they were allowed to, but did not make comments because "true stories are neither good nor bad." Through the diary, the teacher has a deeper understanding of the difficult situation of different students, so he buys new books for them at his own expense, organizes travel activities, gives them respect and care, and recommends a book about a protagonist who is in a similar situation struggling with them - " Anne's Diary" not only stimulated their interest in learning, but also provided them with hope, allowing them to face up to their true thoughts and change themselves little by little. The students were deeply touched and realized that their own life can also have infinite possibilities, which aroused their enthusiasm for learning.
Seek help from others and adjust yourself reasonably
As a white teacher, Erin was not respected by her classmates at first, and her efforts were not accepted. She felt frustrated, but this did not extinguish her enthusiasm for teaching. She tried to educate students in different ways, Finally found a breakthrough to solve the problem.
When Erin found out that her students had been abandoned by the education system and her teaching activities were hindered, she found two part-time jobs to support her teaching work, and she also turned to her father for spiritual solace, but she never Thought about giving up, because she always believed in herself. Facts have proved that her hard work and persistence have not been in vain, and Ms. Irene has gained the love of her classmates and the honorary title of "mother".
Create a free situation and focus on personality cultivation
Teacher Irene never blindly instills her own thoughts in her students, but creates situations to allow students to think freely. She led the students to visit the memorial hall, invited survivors to share stories, held debates, asked students to write letters to the prototype characters of the book, compiled the stories into "Freelance Writers" and published... The students continued to learn in these activities. And thinking, they have their own independent mind and really understand what they feel and need. The most impressive thing is that Ava followed her heart and told the truth in a shooting court, even though she didn't rescue her father and was threatened by the gang, she did what she thought was right and didn't. Against conscience, and gained friendship.
Irene is a soul engineer who can heal the soul. She feels the loneliness and fear in the hearts of the seemingly stubborn students. With a warm and sincere heart, she uses love and persistence to influence them and cultivate their sense of responsibility and independence. Personality, lead them to find the light.
"The art of education is not about teaching, but about inspiring and awakening."
