I always think that it was my young students who helped me to survive among all the choices, temptations, and delusions.
They kept telling me during the class "Anna, it's spring! Can we play first?" "Anna, we have to read this story, it's touching!" "Anna, we do not need to remember it. We can google it!"
They sounds very naughty. They are very undisciplined. They should not waste to play, we need to let them know more and be smarter.
But we are missing the point. What they asked are deeply rooted in the true meaning of life.
Why should we waste time in the classroom?. The sun is shining, the wind is breezing, and the grass is inviting! We must go out to enjoy it! We can definitely teach them in the natrual settings. We can definitely teach the thing they really are interested in.
