baptism

The game of standing on the "one line" impressed me deeply. It can be regarded as a kind of psychological game, it can also be regarded as a ritualized event, a kind of baptism, standing on the same line many times, Seeing the same painful experience in each other's eyes is to use the same to resolve the differences, to use the unity to resolve the opposition, and to use the common sorrow to resolve the hatred. Irene's method is really insightful. Equally ritualized events are "Cheers to Change".

Other perceptions are probably: racial conflict, the horror of violence, how far a person can go, the contradiction between special education and general education "assembly line production", and so on. The change in the attitudes of Irene's father and husband also made me ponder. The so-called "I can't be your wife", man, it's really..., I can't help sighing.

After reading it, there is still a question, should Irene really seek to teach these children forever? In other teachers' classes, children may not be really valued, but this is what they always have to face, because the wind and rain in the future will be equally cruel. With the warmth and strength of humanity drawn from Erin's enlightenment, they should learn to face life independently. And Irene, continue to warm more children. Teachers are originally a profession to usher in. In this sense, teachers are seeders, not bodyguards.
