忘了天有多高

抬头 才猛然察觉

一手遮天

并不如此的遥不可及

以手指弯曲的弧度

用舌 戳破那片云

如雪糕            冰凉潮湿

沉溺在巧克力的氛围

缓缓 缓 缓

缓 缓

 缓    缓

   缓

WHAT THE HELL !

你为什么要挣扎?!

What do teachers make?

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

总觉得,这就是老师们的悲哀。这个世界,越来越不尊重老师。家长都不尊重了,孩子还会尊重么?现在的人呐,都在说老师是最无用、最无能、最没贡献、最不用脑、最没前途……的人。

感触很深。留下这一篇。

=============================

The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life. One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education. He argued, "What’s a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?"

He reminded the other dinner guests what they say about teachers: "Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach."

To stress his point he said to another guest; "You’re a teacher, Bonnie. Be honest. What do you make?"

Bonnie, who had a reputation for honesty and frankness replied, "You want to know what I make? (She paused for a second, and then began…)

"Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could

I make a C+ feel like the Congressional Medal of Honor.

I make kids sit through 40 minutes of class time when their parents can’t make them sit for 5 without an I Pod, Game Cube or movie rental.

You want to know what I make?" (She paused again and looked at each and every person at the table.)

”I make kids wonder.

I make them question.

I make them apologize and mean it.

I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions.

I teach them to write and then I make them write. Keyboarding isn’t everything. 

I make them read, read, read.

I make them show all their work in math. They use their God given brain, not the man-made calculator.

I make my students from other countries learn everything they need to know English while preserving their unique cultural identity.

I make my classroom a place where all my students feel safe.

I make my students stand, placing their hand over their heart to say the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, One Nation Under God, because we live in the United States of America.

Finally, I make them understand that if they use the gifts they were given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can succeed in life."

(Bonnie paused one last time and then continued.)

"Then, when people try to judge me by what I make, with me knowing money isn’t everything, I can hold my head up high and pay no attention because they are ignorant…

You want to know what I make?

I MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

What do you make Mr. CEO?"

His jaw dropped, he went silent.
