Afterthought

Even a teacher can only do trivial things. Maybe we can't save all the students at all. We can't have the courage and ability to do so much for the students like the protagonist.

But in our lifetime, we can affect as many people as we can. Even if we only affect one person, it is better than not. Sometimes, enlightenment students will cause students to lose their thinking in self-consistent thinking, making students alienate from their environment, which has the opposite effect. Not all resistance to harsh environments will succeed, but you must try.

China also has racial discrimination and regional discrimination. Although we are a multi-ethnic country, our ethnic boundaries and cultural boundaries are not particularly clear. This is one of the reasons why we are not as serious as racial discrimination in the United States. The causes of conflicts among the various ethnic groups in the United States are very complex. The time they immigrated to the United States, where they landed, the work they do, and their age structure all have a very significant impact on racial conflicts. For example, people think that the high crime rate of blacks is due to the low quality of these people, and the black skin traits are inferior genes. In fact, surveys have found that the crime rates of all races of the same age group are about the same, but the age structure of blacks is relatively young, and the young people are more energetic because of their youth. The reason is the main force of crime, which led to the high crime rate of blacks. These contradictions are not static. With social changes and changes in economic conditions, some ethnic groups have already got rid of the old discriminatory labels and ushered in new labels. For example, when Jews first came to the United States, they generally scored low on intelligence tests, but they have already surpassed the United States. The average level. To learn more about race issues in the United States, you can refer to the book "A Brief History of American Race" recommended by Luo Yonghao and participated in the introduction.

A brief history of American race
8.2
[America] Thomas Sowell / 2015 / CITIC Press

Discrimination between races is completely unnecessary. We are all humans and have roughly the same level of thinking. The living environment of each race before and after migrating to the United States directly leads to their living habits. It doesn't matter whether it is good or bad. Even if people are born into three, six or nine grades, there is nothing to be proud of or low self-esteem. This has nothing to do with personal efforts. It just happens to be born into a certain race and become a member of a certain race. What is luck to be proud of? What about?

When I meet those kids who can’t do anything with them, I always joking and pretending to be helpless and say: “No way, just watch them at school and don’t cause trouble, love to learn or not to learn...” I’ve never said anything like this. When it’s true, every child has to learn something from school, otherwise why is the law stipulated and they or their parents are willing to go to school or are willing to send their children to school? Every child must and must be able to learn something. Either go to college or have the basic ability to gain inner peace. What's wrong with average grades? Not everyone has to engage in scientific research. On the other hand, no matter how good the results are, how many people can engage in scientific research and expand the boundaries of human knowledge? Achievements are generally okay. Learning to be a good person, being a kind, empathetic, emotional and interesting person is enough to achieve the purpose of education. They will bring happiness, tranquility and respect to the people around them, and the population quality of the entire society will not go up a little bit. NS? These little lights are the hope of human happiness (whether in the United States or China)!

Not everyone is born to be a great man. Give the big tree nutrients and a suitable growth environment, but also give the young grass growth nutrients and a suitable growth environment. Both the big tree and the grass must live with dignity and pursue their own happiness. Basic abilities.

Secretly promised that I will not give up any of my students in the future. All students must learn and do something in their own space for improvement. Even if my energy is limited, even if I don't have the dedication and courage of the protagonist, I can do my best to live up to every eye that looks at me!
