Sanxiaxiang Social Practice Diary

On the morning of July 12, 2019, we embarked on the journey, the scenery along the road, from the gorgeous capital to the developing small town, and then slowly crossed the river valley Dalin, drove into the country road, all the way bumps, and finally in the afterglow of the night Arrived at the destination - Nanfeng Middle School.

"Nanfeng" is a nice name, the harvest of the southern country, I feel that the school will have a long history, there will be a unique atmosphere of the ancient country. However, the school in front of us is as if it has not been built for a long time, and it has not been taken care of. It has become a ruin in the grass, and it is desolate and quiet. The roads of the school are pitted and weeds are born. I heard that due to the lack of funds in the school, the campus environment has not improved, and it has been for many years.

A week after looking around the school, the director of the local school led us to the dormitory, thanking the school for their concern and letting us live in the new dormitory. After the meal, began to clean the dormitory, dirty water, dust, flying insects mixed sweat, struggle for 3 hours. The passion was covered up by the fatigue, the heat in the air was still simmering, the players were exhausted, and the cool breeze came to bed. It is the first day we went to the countryside.

The next day, the team members got up early and greeted our important work. We divided into three teams and were responsible for the work of the three grades. Teaching tasks seem easy, and the actual operation is still very difficult.

The teaching task we designed is to use multimedia, combined with the teacher's explanation, to let students learn how to look at the world with beautiful eyes, use their eyes to find beautiful things around them and learn about art. We have done a good job of preparing lessons, pictures and texts, interesting learning videos, and come to the multimedia classroom with confidence. As the world is unpredictable, the projections of the old multimedia classrooms are almost impossible to project any images. Strong sunlight passes through the thin curtains and enters the classroom, making the originally blurred images more difficult to distinguish. We need to change the strategy immediately. If we change to the computer room, we can let the students watch the video on their own screens. The willingness is wrong. The host computer of the student computer will use two fire lines to collide and generate current to energize the host. 20 years ago, the discoloration of the display, the gray keyboard, everything is not up to the basic teaching requirements. We were in a hurry and saw that time was coming. The teachers at the local school immediately let me shift my position to the so-called best classroom, which was the meeting room that was usually used for meetings. The unfortunate things have come one after another. The outdated machines in the "best classrooms" don't recognize our u disk, but the well-prepared information can't be taken out. The students are busy with the students. In order to ensure the order of teaching, we take the class. The teacher, first to do the guided lesson, found that the speed of the machine is not slow, and played the video online, using the knowledge taught by the previous teacher to explain the Western supplement. I finally managed to take a 40-minute class. The hard time of the first lesson.

I truly feel how much we rely on technology, online shopping, electronic materials, video music, etc. in our daily life in the city, enjoying the care of our technology. This is a rare experience that has made me discover that technology is really important to us.

The students here are as simple as we are imagining, full of curiosity about the outside world, and poverty. 80% of them are farmers, summer vacations come, children are not like the city, we have a carefree interest in learning. Class, go to travel. Here they may have to rush to help the family to do things, harvesting, threshing, sun drying, etc. become their holiday work. I found that the students here are all red and yellow, and they are probably busy with farming or going to the open air in the open air. There are a lot of classmates in our class who can't go to summer school because they have to go home and farm. In fact, they are also helpless, and I am saddened by my eyes.

Poverty makes the cultural level here very low, and the rate of enrollment is not high. Many parents send their children to the middle of the country or drop out of high school to drop out of school. They send them to work in the factory in the city. Cheap labor hurts the children and makes the poor still poor. Before I came, I really didn't expect that there would be some places in the Pearl River Delta region of Guangdong. I wouldn't even imagine how many children in China lived in poverty.

Poverty has caused many young people to go out to work, and there are leftover children and old people in the family, and even only one child. During the teaching period, one of our team members found that a student in the class was somewhat unusual. He always sat at the end of class, leaving our advice not to sit forward and not want to attend classes. What’s even more terrifying is that we found him in class. At the time, I wrote a sharp "kill" on the back blackboard, full of hateful strength, I can't help but feel the chill in my heart. Afterwards, I learned from the local teacher that she said, “There are a lot of mentally or mentally problematic students. Because the adults in the family are working outside, they are left alone. No one is managing at a young age. Lonely and lonely, the psychological problem will be more. The more you come, the more you often don’t send money back, or even go hungry...·····

Now I still remember the words of Nanfeng Middle School Principal to the students. "You have chosen to come to high school. It is a correct choice for your life. I hope that you can finish reading...", short words, worth pondering, For the children of the city, going to high school is like a natural stage, but in Nanfeng, this is a difficult choice. The teacher is trying hard to persuade students to adhere to their studies and make them believe that only knowledge can change their destiny. In Nanfeng, the school ruins survive, students grow up in hope.

The righteousness of the countryside is bitter and sweet. I feel the hardships of local life and enjoy the true feeling of being a teacher. For so many years, I have been a student to see the teacher and I will say hello to the teacher. In Nanfeng, when the students saw me, they said hello, a shy "teacher is good", a sly response "good", I stole from my heart. Have fun.

Despite the heat and the bitterness of mosquitoes and bites, in a short period of time, the emotions created by people, like a spring breeze, smooth the irritability of the mind, implicating the hearts of us and the students. When I left, the students secretly wrote some small notes to me, between the lines, the young words, and the emotions. When the teacher feels really good.
