(2023·河南洛阳期末)I have spent my entire life either at the schoolhouse,on the way to the
schoolhouse,or talking about what happens in the schoolhouse.Both my parents and my
grandparents were educators.For the past 40 years I've done the same thing.Needless to say,over
those years I've had a chance to look at education reform from a lot of aspects.And we know why
kids drop out.We know why kids don't learn.It's either poverty,low attendance or negative peer
influences.But one of the things that we never discuss or we barely discuss is the value-the
importance of human connection and relationships.
James Comer says that no significant learning can occur without a significant relationship and
all learning is understanding relationships.Everyone has been affected by a teacher or an adult.I
have looked at the best and I've looked at some of the worst.
A colleague once said to me,"My duty isn't to like the kids,but to teach a lesson.The kids
should learn it.I should teach it.This is the case."Well,I said to her,"You know,kids don't
learn from people they don't like."
I have had classes that were so low that I cried.I wondered,how was I going to take this
group in nine months from where they were to where they needed to be?And it was awfully hard.
How did I raise the self-confidence of a child and his academic achievement at the same time?
One year I came up with a bright idea.I told all my students,"You were chosen to be in my
class because I am the best teacher and you are the best students.They put us all together so we
could show everybody else how to do it."And I gave them a saying,"I am somebody.I was
somebody when I came.I'll be a better somebody when I leave.I am powerful,and I am strong.I
deserve the education that I get here."
Teaching and learning should bring joy.How powerful would our world be if we had kids who
were not afraid to take risks,who were not afraid to think,and who had a champion?Eve
