从教教育孩子
在暴风雨后的一个早晨，一位男士在海边散步，注意到沙滩的浅水洼里，有许多被昨夜的暴风雨卷上岸来的小鱼。被困的小鱼尽管近在海边，也许有几百条，甚至几千条，然而用不了多久，浅水洼里的水就会被沙粒吸干，被太阳蒸干，小鱼就会干涸而死。Suddenly, the man noticed a little boy on the beach, picking up small fish from a shallow depression and throwing them back into the sea. The man couldn’t help walking over to him. “Boy, there are hundreds and thousands of small fish in this puddle. You can’t save them.”“I know.” The little boy answered without turning his head.“Oh? So why are you still throwing it? Who cares?”“This little fish cares!” The boy answered, picking up a fish and throwing it back into the sea.
这位男士突然发现海边有一个小男孩不停地从浅水洼里捡起小鱼，扔回大海。男士禁不住走过去：“孩子，这水洼里有几百几千条小鱼，你救不过来的。”“我知道。”小男孩头也不回地回答。“哦？那你为什么还在扔？谁在乎呢？”“这条小鱼在乎！”男孩儿一边回答，一边捡起一条鱼扔还大海。A survivor of a Nazi concentration camp became the principal of a high school in the United States. Every time a new teacher came to the school, he would send a letter to the teacher. The letter said, “Dear teacher, I personally saw the situation that human beings should not see: gas chambers were built by engineers with expertise; children were poisoned by knowledgeable doctors; children were poisoned by trained nurses.” Killing. Seeing all this, I wonder: What is the purpose of education? My request is: Please help students grow into human beings. The ability to read, write and calculate is valuable only when our children grow up to be human beings.
