Sophia 赫德中学部英语老师

#HDBJ

这是Sophia在开学第一周，留给孩子们的作业，当把同样的问题抛给她自己，“我倒是可以讲讲最初，我为什么‘不想’成为一个老师”。

因为在当时的认知里，对还没开始就已经厌倦的“十年如一日”的工作场景，Sophia是排斥的。

那现在呢？

“那可太有挑战了！” 从英国飞往北京，下飞机的第二天，她加入了赫德。这里的孩子眼界开、思维活，靠打感情牌是过不了关的，往往是一节课备出三四节课的体量，老师们都成了设计师、产品经理，得给出过硬的产品，放出连环大招，才能“拿下”十几岁的注意力。

讲的不光是课，教学目标也远远不够，得“难忘”。

就像周一的晨间主题，孩子们举着手抢答，最喜欢的老师得“会周易八卦骑马射箭”，得“会玩和平精英”，还得“玩得比我好”。

但这不意味着老师就得像这样，而是，像Sophia一样，不断“修行”，当意义发生时，清醒地知道这只是教育的冰山一角，像所有老师一样，主动肩负起了这其中国家事业与个人事业交集的那一部分。

“您治愈的笑容如同阳光般温暖，照亮了我们每一天的生活，相伴时光虽然短暂，却充满了欢声笑语，成为最美好的回忆，值此教师节祝您节日快乐！”

来自G9Tiger Chen对Sophia的这条广播，奏响了《Kua Kua Radio》的序幕，这一周的赫德走廊，都是赫德学生、家长、老师们之间的赞美，笼罩着整个校园，给赫德的教师节一点不一样的氛围感。

同样在晨间主题上，义格教育集团中学部学术总监任校，带着孩子们宣读了《HD孩子需要牢记的四句话》，Sophia说她也牢牢记住了其中那句“比成绩重要100倍的是做一个得体的人”。

Sophia自打成为一名老师起，就给自己套上了无形的枷锁，她的每一节课“都非常沉重”，她在各个国家给各个年龄段的孩子上课的经历，让她无法容忍自己有一次教学失误，她怕一次错误的示范就让孩子丧失了终身学习的热情，所以对她来说，“教育是一份零失误的事业”。

但当她来到赫德，她好像开了新的视野，有了新的体验，原来经验不能复制，也不可以复制，她不再是一个giver，而是一位leader.

“充分尊重他人，才会赢得他人尊重。”“不要讨厌别人，也不要做自己讨厌的人。”这些需要赫德的孩子们牢记的话语，一瞬间让她放下了沉重的包袱，她说她来对了。

只是这一天，成了所有老师的集体生日，每年这一天，我们得重新认识一群孩子，重新理解一次教育，重新刷新一遍自己。

教师节结束了吗？至少在赫德，我们还在延续。我们知道有很多夸夸和谢谢不必当面讲，所以给了这些声音一个机会，用“电台”这一古老而浪漫的方式，传递给老师们一些安慰和鼓励，因为我们知道，这或许才是我们最想要的节日礼物。

You are stronger than you think you are.

CHARACTERS

Sophia,

an English teacher at HDBJ Secondary School

#HDBJ

This was the assignment Sophia left for the children in the first week of school. When the same question was thrown back at her, "I can tell you why I 'didn't want' to be a teacher at first."

At that time, in her perception, she was averse to the "same old, same old" work scenario that she had not even started yet.

What about now?

"It's incredibly challenging!" From flying from the UK to Beijing, she joined HD the day after landing. The children here have a broad vision and active thinking. It's not enough to rely on emotional cards; often, a class requires the preparation of three or four classes' worth of material. Teachers have become designers and product managers, needing to offer top-notch products and unleash a series of powerful moves to "capture" the attention of teenagers.

It's not just about teaching the course; the teaching goals are far from sufficient. It has to be "unforgettable."

Just like the morning theme on Monday, the children were raising their hands to answer, saying that their favorite teacher should "know how to read the I Ching, ride a horse, and shoot arrows," and "should be able to play 'Peacekeeper Elite' and play it better than me."

But this does not mean that teachers have to be like this; instead, they should be like Sophia, a constant "practitioner," who, when meaning occurs, is aware that it is just the tip of the iceberg in education, like all teachers, actively taking on the part where the national cause and personal cause intersect.

"Your healing smile is as warm as the sunshine, illuminating our lives every day. Although our time together is short, it is filled with laughter and joy, becoming the most beautiful memories. On this Teacher's Day, I wish you a happy holiday!" 

This message from G9 Tiger Chen to Sophia kicked off the "Kua Kua Radio" broadcast. This week in the Hed corridor, there is praise between Hed students, parents, and teachers, enveloping the entire campus and giving HD's Teacher's Day a different atmosphere.

Since becoming a teacher, Sophia has put on an invisible shackle. Every one of her classes is "very heavy." Her experience teaching children of all ages in various countries has made her intolerant of any teaching mistakes. She fears that one wrong demonstration could cause children to lose their enthusiasm for lifelong learning, so for her, "education is a zero-error career.‍

But when she came to HD, it seemed like she opened up new horizons and had new experiences. It turns out that experience cannot be copied, nor should it be. She is no longer just a giver but a leader.

"Only by fully respecting others can you win their respect." "Don't hate others, and don't be the person you hate." These words that HD's children need to remember made her drop her heavy burden in an instant, and she said she came to the right place.

And these HD children have indeed not let her down. After class, they teach each other, and this vigorous desire to share and the transmission of energy have moved her, making her feel that "her work was not in vain."

"Relaxation and respect" classroom atmosphere.

This year marks the 40th Teacher's Day, but from Confucius' lectures 2500 years ago, the identity and image of "teacher" has been worth commemorating and praising far more than 40 or 400 times.

It's just that this day has become a collective birthday for all teachers. On this day every year, we need to re-recognize a group of children, re-understand education, and refresh ourselves.

Is Teacher's Day over? At least at HD, we are still continuing. We know there is a lot of praise and thanks that don't need to be said face to face, so we gave these voices an opportunity to use the ancient and romantic method of "radio" to convey some comfort and encouragement to the teachers, because we know that this may be the holiday gift we want the most.

Nothing is perfect.

You are stronger than you think you are.
