There is a "sparrow school" in Dongjiahe Town, Xianhe District, Xinyang City, Henan Province - Shuixianqiao Primary School. In this school with only 35 students and 5 teachers, nature has become a classroom for children, and mountains, forests and fields are educational resources.
"Rural schools should look like rural schools, and should not blindly follow urban schools. They should give full play to their advantages of being small in scale and being located in the countryside." On September 26, the reporter came to Dongjiahe Shuixianqiao Primary School. Comrade Jin Fang, who is the principal and also serves as a teacher, was full of light when talking about school education. She introduced that because there are few students and the average class is less than 10 students per class, teachers can pay attention to every child and teach according to their aptitude.
Since Teacher Jin Fang took to the podium in September 2000, she has been on the front line of mountain village primary schools and has been teaching for 22 years. During this period, she worked diligently and did her job well. The grades of the classes she taught were very excellent and were rated as an excellent class every academic year. In Teacher Jin Fang's classroom, we have always advocated that teaching integrates the elements of "learning, speaking, and doing" and combines it with life, labor and games to make the classroom fun and interesting. After class, she often takes her students to participate in outdoor activities and get in touch with nature. In order to broaden the horizons of children, Teacher Jin Fang often sacrificed her rest time and took the initiative to play the role of "accompanying parents" for left-behind students. He took the children out of the school gate, visited museums, investigated the history of the village, went to the fields and mountains to collect field trips, plant vegetables, and fly kites. Reading and exercise are also not left behind. In addition to physical education, Jin Fang requires and carefully supervises students to exercise for an hour every day to achieve comprehensive progress in "morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor".
When talking about the original intention of practicing, Jin Fang told reporters: "Someone has also asked me that the school's student base has decreased sharply, left-behind children are difficult to educate, and the teaching staff is not enough. Why don't you leave? In my heart, I have always had a firm belief that no matter where the teacher is, what teachers do is a kind of conscience." When Shuxianqiao Primary School is facing a shortage of teachers, Jin Fangzhu not only did not waver the idea of leaving, but even took the initiative to assume the position of principal of the teaching point.
"Many rural parents choose to go out to work. Left-behind children lack care since childhood. I wonder if I can build schools and classes as warm as home, so that children who lack family affection in their growth can gradually build a sense of security, belonging and self-confidence." Jin Fang said. Recalling the family background of a girl in the class, Jin Fang's eyes were slightly moist. The little girl lost her mother very early. Her father was disabled but she insisted on going out to make money. The environment made her very introverted and unwilling to communicate with her classmates. During a visit, I saw a little girl lying on a broken stool at her impoverished homework. This scene made Jin Fang unable to calm down for a long time and decided to care more about and love these left-behind children. Later, Jin Fang often talked to her intimately and encouraged her. She asked her classmates to play games with her after class, and slowly brought her into the group. Every year on Teacher's Day, Teacher Jin Fang will receive a card from this girl, which says "Teacher, thank you for loving me like your mother!"
"Simple efforts are the professional ethics of 'transmitting careers, receiving the truth and solving doubts'." Jin Fang said: "I represent only the microcosm of countless ordinary rural teachers , without any grand and grand events. Everyone uses their ordinary words and deeds and ordinary actions to pick up a piece of chalk, stand on the three-foot podium, love their students as their children, love their schools as their homes, take root at the grassroots level, and devote themselves to the countryside, just to make the mountain flowers more colorful!"
