Bridge – While sending children to the
Giang Vo Experimental School is the dream of many parents, other people say
they feel discouraged about the new education model followed by the school.
The students, who do not know how to pay
respect to adults
The
thing that one would see when entering the experimental school is that a lot of
children playing freely on the school yard or the corridors in front of
classrooms. Their attitudes and facial features show that they feel happy with
their study at the school.
However,
one would feel astonished when realizing that the students here do not have the
habit of “exchanging greetings.” A child accidentally collided with the
reporter, and he quickly ran away without saying “sorry.”
When
the reporters arrived, the children were continuing playing, even though this
was for the first time they saw the strange guests. Meanwhile, the guests still
expected the greetings from the children.
The
people, who got used to the traditional education method at state owned
schools, would feel upset over the disorder they can witness at the classes of
the Giang Vo Experimental School. Even after the teacher entered the classroom,
the children kept playing and they did not realize that the lesson hour began.
The
students of a class were seen only standing up and greeting the teacher after
the teacher’s request. Especially, the students only made greetings to the
guests – the reporters, who attended the teaching hour.
And
when a guest went out of the classroom, leaving a camera and a color book, some
students spontaneously took the camera and the book without asking for the
permission of the guest.
And the
visitors would feel terrible if students do not concentrate during the lesson
hours. They can chat with each other in the class, while their voices seem to
be even louder than the voices of the teachers.
When
the teacher asked students to show their opinions, a lot of students stood up
and expressed their opinions at the same time. Meanwhile, at other schools,
students would be able to speak after they get the permission from teachers.
When
the guests said goodbye to the students and left the class, they had not heard
the reply until the teacher asked her students to say goodbye. Especially,
someone used English to communicate with the guests. “Bye bye. See you again.”
A
parent has said after he attended the lesson hour that he would never agree to
send his children to the school and bear such a strange education method.
“The
students here even do not show their courteous attitude. I don’t want such
children,” he said.
“I
agree that students need to be encouraged to become creative, and need to enjoy
freedom to grow up well. However, I feel that the freedom here is a bit too
far,” he said.
What are the specific features of the new
education method?
It’s
clear that at Giang Vo School, students can be closer to their teachers than at
any other schools. One could easily feel the openness in the communication
between students and teachers.
The
teachers here do not start the lessons in normal way, but they recall the
knowledge given in the previous lessons by raising attractive questions. All
the students here are encouraged to express their opinions, including the
opinions about minor issues.
And if
a student forgets the previous lessons, he would be able to open the textbook
and review the lesson before answering the teachers’ questions. Especially,
teachers must not disparage their students, while students would receive
compliments when they finish exercises well or do good things.
