在天行，我找到了理想中的教育

是否还记得我们上个月推出的“老师眼中的天行一中”系列吗？是的，没错，今天我们又重新营业了。“老师眼中的天行一中系列之二“的主人公是一位刚入职天行两个月的数学老师——Grace，是什么让她毅然从体制内转入天行，她眼中的天行又是怎样的呢，让我们一探究竟吧。

或许每位老师来到天行一中的契机都不同，坦白说，我决定入职天行只用了一个晚上。一个晚上，我决定辞去公办学校高中数学教师一职，孤身一人来到南昌。那时候我真不知道我的决定是否正确，写下这篇文章的时候距离第一次来天行刚好整整两个月，现在问自己后悔吗？我希望通过这篇文章告诉各位答案。

Maybe every teacher has a different answer about why they came to Teensen. To be honest, it only took me one night to make my decision. Only one night, I quited my job as a math teacher in public high school and then came to Nanchang alone. At that time I didn't know whether this is suitable decision or not. When I wrote this article, it was exactly two months after I came here. I asked myself and tell you the answer hereinafter.

初到天行的我是困惑的

入职天行的前半个月，用一个词来总结我的心情：困惑。不仅是在教学有某些困惑，还包括其他的一些困惑。比如，每天下课铃一响，我便能看见学生涌进教师办公室抓住老师问问题，说要老师我要做office time，桌边的饭菜就这样一点点冷掉，老师也没有表现出一点不耐烦，每位老师也不会因为下班了有一丝的不情愿，这种现象几乎每天都在上演。我和Shirley、Rachel两位老师住一起，每天下班回到家，迎接我的都是满桌子的作业和教案，感觉我每次不是回家，而是从一个办公室到了另一个办公室。这种困惑的状态一直持续了近半个月，每天我都很努力工作，但是这种努力更多是被动的。

I summed up my mood in first half month in Teensen: confusion. Not only in teaching, but also in other aspects. Everyday, for example, when the bear rang, students flocked into office room to ask questions and confirm the office time. Even if meal is already cold, teachers never be impatient. I live with two teachers, Shirley and Rachel. When I come home after work every day, I am greeted by the desk which full of homework and teaching plans.It seems that I am not going home every time, but going from one office to another. This state of confusion lasted for nearly half a month. I worked very hard every day, but this effort was relative more passive.

直到9月10日教师节，我清楚的记得那时的所有场景，2班的孩子给每位任课老师送了教师节礼物，给我送礼物的孩子是一个女生，叫程万芷仪，她双手捧着贺卡和礼物双手送到我面前。一个很内向羞涩的女生，鼓起勇气走到你面前，但她喜欢你呀，因此她鼓起勇气，带着这份害羞的勇敢，怯生生地说一句：老师，节日快乐。那一刻大概就是心化了的感觉，那时我也真的没有经验，她害羞，我也害羞啊，弱弱地接下礼物，道声：谢谢。孩子离开办公室后，我肠子都悔青了，恨自己怎么这么不争气。如果再来一次，我一定要站起来，抱抱她，说出钢铁侠对他女儿说的那句话：I love you thousands time。

Until teachers' on September 10th, I clearly remember all the sense at that time. The students from class 2 sent gifts to their teachers. A girl named 程万芷怡holded the gift with card and handed it to to me. A introverted girl took heart of grace because of favour, timid to say: Happy holidays! At that time I felt full of warmness because I don't have such a experience before. She is shy and I also be shy. I said thank you in a low voice. After she leaved I was regret. If it were to happen again, I will stand up to hug her and say what iron man said to his daughter: I love you thousands time.

不抛弃，不放弃

从那一天起，我所有的困惑都有了答案，我这才真切的领会到那句世人都说烂了的台词：teachers are engineers of the soul。我才意识到，班里一个又一个学生，他们都拥有着这世上最纯粹的灵魂和无限发展的可能，而作为他们的老师，作为高中时期陪伴他们时间最长的一个角色，我们要做的是在有限的时间内给予他们无限的爱；是在有限的空间内去发展他们无限的可能；是领着学生沿着知识的小道，向着人类智慧的顶峰攀登。

From that day, all of my confusion has been answered. And I truly understand the words: teachers are engineers of the soul. I just realized that students have the purest soul and infinite probabilities. As their teachers, the character that will accompany with them for the longest time in three years. We should give them infinite love in limited time. It is also develop their infinite possibilities in limited space. It is that lead students towards to the peak of human's climb.

从那个时候开始我理解了，为什么身边的这样一批老师，愿意牺牲自己的时间陪伴孩子；为什么他们都这么有耐心有毅力；不是因为谁工资更高，也不是因为谁傻不去休息，是因为大家心底的热爱，对教育和学生的热爱。公立学校六七十人一个班，其中一定会有十几个孩子是你没办法教也没精力管的，而老师的不管不问，对孩子来说基本等同于人生被抛弃。作为老师，肯定会不断地问自己，你是不是做得还不够？是不是还能再救一个？

From that time on, I understood why such a group of teachers around me are willing to sacrifice their time to accompany their children. Why are they so patient and persistent; It's not because of who gets paid more, it's not because of who doesn't need to take a break, it's because of our deep love for education and students. In a class of 60 or 70 students in a public school, there must be more than a dozen children that you can't teach or manage, and the teacher's indifference is basically equivalent to the abandonment for a child. As a teacher, you must constantly ask yourself, have I done my duty ? Can I save another one?

但在天行一中，却是完全不同的大环境。小班制的教学，让每位老师在课内、课外都能有足够的精力去关注到每个学生的发展。如果学生的数理化弱些，老师将会一对一给学生辅导。如果辅导还不行，老师们将会紧急开会讨论学生的问题，让学生找到最适合自己的科目。最终每个学生在天行都会得到最适合自己的发展，成为最好的自己。总之，在天行，我们从不放弃任何一个学生。

But in Teensen, it is a completely different environment. Small class system of teaching, so that each teacher in class or not have enough energy to pay attention to the development of each student. If the students are weak in math, physics and chemistry, the teacher will give them one-on-one tutoring. If the tutoring doesn't work, the teachers will hold an urgent conversation to discuss the students' problems and help the students to find the most suitable subjects. In the end, every student will get the most suitable for their own development and become the best themselves. In some words, in Teensen, we never give up any student.

我意识到这就是我理想中的教育，这也是天行一中能够走得远走得快的理由。上有刘校、黄校以爱之名的创办理念，庄老师、悦姐及各部门对教学的统筹规划，下有身边一批教师怀揣对教育的深爱，勤勉地在天行这片沃土上工作。因此天行走在江西国际教育最前列，我相信天行有一天也必将走在全国国际教育的最前列。

I realized that this is my ideal education, and this is also the reason why Teensen can go far and fast. Principal Liu, principal Huang fund the school in name of love, Rainy, yue and all the departments make overall planning of teaching, under the side of a number of teachers with deep love for education, diligently work in Teensen everyday. Therefore, Teensen is in the forefront of international education in Jiangxi, and I believe Teensen will also be in the forefront of international education in China someday.
