Teacher Tang found out the old textbooks from previous years and put together a set for Jiang Xiaoman.
These textbooks were left by former students. Some of them have been gnawed by bookworms and have lost their footers. They have an unpleasant musty smell, which still does not prevent Teacher Tang from cherishing them as treasures, and even looking for them. I packed it in a box, and occasionally I would move it out to bask in the sun when I was free.
All the children who can go to school are short of such a set of textbooks, but there are many children who cannot go to school. Teacher Tang thought that it would be good to plant a seed by giving these books to them.
The children in the first grade have also learned half of the course. Although they are all very basic knowledge, such as word recognition and counting, Jiang Xiaoman has not learned it, so he may not be able to keep up. Teacher Tang's intention is not to let her catch up in advance, but to enlighten her and keep her interest in learning.
For Jiang Xiaoman, Teacher Tang intends to enroll her by interest, rather than forcing her to study. The child is still young, and there is still a period of time before the age of school.
After handing over the textbook to Jiang Xiaoman, Teacher Tang said, "I'll find you a chair, and you'll sit outside the classroom and listen to it in a while. It's okay if you don't understand, don't force it, you can come and ask me if you have any questions after class. Don't be afraid of trouble."
Jiang Xiaoman was very happy, he jumped a few times, smiled and said again and again, "Thank you, Teacher Tang, thank you, Teacher Tang."
This child likes to be exposed to novel things, and also likes to ask questions. Seeing how happy she is, Teacher Tang can't help but smile, touch her head, and then prepare a chair for her.
After Teacher Tang left, Jiang Xiaoman opened the textbook with great interest, glanced at it, was stunned, closed it again, and glanced again.
Grandma praised her smart, uncle praised her smart, Teacher Tang also praised her smart, even the system often said that she was the smartest and the most clever and clever host it had ever brought, so she rushed. Therefore, Jiang Xiaoman has always inflated his IQ very much. She thought she must understand this small textbook, but she didn't expect...
Whoa whoa whoa! ! She didn't understand a few words!
The words she sees most are "points", "candy" and "balance", of which the two words balance are the most sensitive. These are all learned naturally under the influence of the system.
Jiang Xiaoman has grown up so much, and most of the knowledge he has learned comes from systematic professors. In the past, she liked to squat at the door of the classroom, and she could learn a few words while looking at the blackboard, but she also misses the ant nest that she hadn't stabbed in her heart.
She usually listens to the system and understands the truth, but Jiang Xiaoman is the first time to read and write in a serious manner.
She looked at the textbook and the empty notes, dumbfounded. She didn't even listen to what the teacher said in class, she obviously liked reading with the teacher the most.
Jiang Xiaoman was hit hard, and before he left the apprenticeship, he burst into tears, and the tears flowed down again.
The system comforted: "Host, you need to learn step by step, you can't eat fat in one go. You haven't even learned to walk, how can you be able to run?"
"Does that mean you can't help the seedlings grow?"
"...Well, it's almost the same. The host is too young to come to school at this time. Look at the children in the classroom, which one is not older than you?"
Jiang Xiaoman took a serious look and found that it was true.
But she couldn't understand, "Then why does Teacher Tang want me to come to school now?"
The system said: "I don't know. In fact, many times, our system doesn't understand your human thinking very well."
Jiang Xiaoman immediately showed his expression of the same period, as if he saw himself at a loss in the textbook, and comforted him: "It's okay, everyone has something they don't understand, and sometimes I don't understand what you're thinking."
"… Ok."
After chatting with the system, Jiang Xiaoman was in a better mood. She sniffed and refocused to listen to the teacher's lecture.
This time, her mind is much clearer. Basically, she can keep up with what the teacher says and read along.
I still don't know the words.
In the past, Jiang Xiaoman was outside the classroom. When he was bored, he would play with ants with a stick. Now she pays attention to the shape of the characters, instead of just memorizing simple characters.
After a class, she was so tired that she was sweating profusely and was extremely exhausted.
Jiang Xiaoman wanted to sleep when she was tired, but she felt that if she just left, Teacher Tang would definitely laugh at her.
It's too embarrassing to not be able to hold on for a day.
Jiang Xiaoman endured the pain and blows for a whole day, and finally burst into tears after school.
She packed up, ran to Teacher Tang's dormitory, and burst into tears when she saw Teacher Tang.
"Mr. Tang, I don't want to come in the future." She has insisted on it for a day, the teacher will not laugh at her, right
Teacher Tang didn't say anything, and didn't get angry. Instead, she squatted down and asked her, "Why is this?"
Jiang Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief and said while crying, "I, I'm too difficult... I don't know, the words in the textbook, it knows me, I don't know it."
The first grade has already started for half a semester, and it is indeed difficult for Jiang Xiaoman to keep up with it without any obstacles.
Teacher Tang's requirement of her is not to keep up with the progress.
He asked: "Xiaoman, this word is so difficult to recognize, do you know why you are allowed to come to school?"
Jiang Xiaoman wiped away his tears and said seriously, "Teacher Tang wants to help the seedlings grow."
Teacher Tang was stunned for a moment and laughed.
The more he laughed, the more Jiang Xiaoman cried, and Teacher Tang reluctantly stopped his laughter. I thought to myself that the child is smart, and the ability to apply what he has learned is really powerful, and he still uses it within a few days of learning.
"It's not a good thing to encourage seedlings. We should take this as a wake-up call, rather than doing such a thing." Teacher Tang said earnestly: "I asked you to come to school because I wanted you to discover the joy of learning."
"But studying is not fun at all, I just want to go home and sleep."
"Of course I'm not happy to study, but I'm very happy to gain knowledge after learning." Teacher Tang gave an example and asked her: "The teacher asked you about the allusion to nurturing seedlings, and you answered it. The teacher praised you for being smart, are you happy?"
"Happy." Jiang Xiaoman nodded ignorantly.
Although the system told her when she was bound, she was the smartest and smartest child in the town. Jiang Xiaoman was very happy about it, but no one knew.
She's the only one who knows she's smart, so what's the point? She is happy only when others praise it.
So the happiest thing for her is to listen to others praise her for being smart.
Teacher Tang continued to persuade him: "In order to be happy, do you have to study harder? Is this the truth? Studying is also fun, but you don't feel it for the time being, so the teacher wants to guide you."
Jiang Xiaoman always understood.
She pointed her finger at her opponent, and still tried her best: "But I'm still young, I'm only... I'm only three and a half years old. The children in the first grade are all older than me, and I can't keep up. Can't I come a little older?"
Teacher Tang was very patient and replied: "Three and a half years old is not too young. In the city, you can go to kindergarten at your age. When you reach the age of enlightenment, there is no such condition in our town. Teachers can only teach according to their aptitude."
It turns out that other children are like her, and they are forced to go to class at a young age.
Jiang Xiaoman finally felt better and stopped crying.
After she calmed down, Teacher Tang continued: "We have a common teacher named Confucius. Confucius said that only interest is the best teacher, and the road to knowledge is never-ending. The teacher forces you to learn, and you If you want to learn, it’s not the same. The teacher can force you to learn, but the teacher wants you to want to learn.”
"why?"
Jiang Xiaoman always has endless questions. What Teacher Tang taught, I didn't want to be like the system, just let her tell her what to do, and she couldn't use her simple logic to roughly convert it. Jiang Xiaoman couldn't figure it out, so he had to break the casserole and ask to the end.
Teacher Tang continued to explain, but he was not impatient.
"In the future, if the teacher is not by your side to teach you, you can be your own teacher and urge yourself to study. You can't be slack in order to persevere. The teacher can only teach you to the third grade, and then you can go to school outside. There are better teachers and more A good school. The external conditions are impossible, but the key is to stick to your heart.”
Jiang Xiaoman asked again, "Why can't Teacher Tang keep teaching me?"
This is a heavy topic, and Teacher Tang is not going to talk about it with the children.
In the past, the school was set up to the sixth grade. At that time, there were still many people. The nearby villages sent their children to school here, and they could barely make up the sixth grade. Now there are fewer and fewer people, and there are no senior grades. . After the third grade, I went to study elsewhere.
Teacher Tang said with a smile: "Because my knowledge is limited, I can only teach you here, and you have to learn the rest by yourself."
Jiang Xiaoman was stunned.
In her impression, Teacher Tang is a very powerful person. Even when my grandmother mentioned Teacher Tang, her tone became inexplicably gentle. My grandmother asked her to respect her teacher, saying that he was the most respected teacher.
Jiang Xiaoman doesn't understand what a high reputation is, but she knows that Teacher Tang is really the gentlest and gentlest person in town. He speaks the truth well and can always explain complicated things in a superficial way. Jiang Xiaoman likes to talk to him very much.
For example, at this time, Jiang Xiaoman originally planned not to come tomorrow, but when Teacher Tang told her, she was shaken again.
Jiang Xiaoman was afraid that Teacher Tang would be sad and whispered: "I don't want it, I can learn from Teacher Tang."
Teacher Tang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After thinking about it, he didn't bother about this issue anymore.
"Xiaoman, where did you hear the story about the growth of the seedlings last time?"
"I... my friend said it."
Oh my friend, a kid's friend is a kid too, no wonder they don't know much.
Teacher Tang said: "You have a problem with your understanding. I'll tell you again today. By the way, I'll tell you a story, and you'll understand why some things have to be learned by yourself."
Jiang Xiaoman likes listening to stories the most: "What story?"
"The story of giving a man a fish is worse than teaching a man to fish."
