Correct or kind? This is a problem!

When Augie was in his first class in elementary school, the teacher wrote this sentence on the blackboard, "If there is a choice between being right and being kind, I choose being kind."

Whether it's Auggie giving Will to copy during the exam, or Will and Julian getting into a fight because Julian calls Auggie a "monster", Will refuses to tell the principal why the fight is going on because it would Not fair to Julian.

Julian repeatedly humiliated Augie in various ways because of Augie's appearance. The principal invited Julian's parents. The mother complained that Augie's appearance affected his son's studies. The principal said this to Julian's parents. "His looks can't be changed, but we can change how we think about him"

These warm details are all closely related to kindness. Is it better to choose political correctness? Or listen to your heart and choose kindness? I think everyone has the answer too!

    Augie and Jack's sipi is so delicious! (Called the police.jpg Only the seventh-grade Huoyan Jingjing found out that it was the hero's boyfriend. There are so many SW stalks, and every character is very cute, even the Julian who bullied the hero, he was only cruel because he was young. What a great family Augie has, I think most of the time we're just Miranda, wish we had a home like that. Ah, watch out for the dead puppy in there.

    In fact, this is more like a contemporary fairy tale, because it is too warm. Everyone inside is so warm, how can it be so warm, how can it be so warm! Like a heart-warming fairy tale. Although, I also doubt the authenticity of such stories, but I like to be moved by such warm stories, and for a time I couldn't cry.

Wonder quotes

  • Mr. Tushman: The final award this morning is the Henry Ward Beecher medal to honor students who have been notable or exemplary. Usually, it's a "good works," a service award. But I came upon a passage that he wrote, which made me realize that good works come in many forms. "Greatness," he wrote, "lies not in being strong, but in the right using of strength. He or she is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own." Without further ado, this year, I am very proud to award the Henry Ward Beecher medal to the student whose quiet strength has carried up the most hearts.
