我是就讀師範學院幼教系大四的學生。現在正面臨大五實習老師的未來。
很多幼稚園職場的教學的確還是很升學認知取向(灌輸一堆所謂的知識 ),這些跟我們所學的理念是有很大的差距 坦白說 我正面臨這些現象的壓力。看到您在網路上的這篇文章,我好開心。覺得還是有一些人雖不在幼教領域,但是仍然有很棒的教育概念。 讓我覺得很被鼓勵 (覺得應該有更多這樣的訊息傳達給社會大眾),覺得雖然未來一年為實習老師,但是我仍然可以有所堅持。 不淪落為現在一些已經是一堆才藝,認知取向非常爭競的教育,讓我這個未來幼稚園老師剛強壯膽 。

Hi, Virginia:
I am David Yuan and am recently sent by my company to the U.S. on a short-term assignment. I jsut read your atricle about your ideal kindergarden. Following is part of an e-mail I wrote to a friend. Probably it could answer your question. ^_^
"I have come to realize that freedom, equality, and independence are the founding spirits of the "New Continent (the U.S.)". These are not the kinds of spirits you find in the "Old Continents (Europe, Asia)". It is human nature to go after freedom, equality, and independence. And I believe these spirits matter very much. I will eventually send my kids to the U.S. to be exposed to these spirits because I have always loved freedom, equality, and independence.
In my humble opinion, the American culture is a combination of the three spirits mentioned above and Christianity and the results have been powerful. It has the moral courage to admit its wrongs and correct them. It treasures such ethics like courage, beauty, honesty, integrity and loyalty. It believes in the invisible power of God (In God We Trust). It believes in the invisible hand as preached by Adam Smith.
None of these "invisibles" are valued in Taiwan, not to mentioned in China. We Chinese are realistic and believe in what we see with our eyes. We do not value imagination, we do not see with our hearts. I was like this before but am not anymore. I hope you could understand my points. And I pray that you would eventually come to believe in Jesus."

小小平安: 看完你的兩篇「幼稚園」文章,覺得很好。自己帶大的孩子去上學,「分離憂慮症」 就會嚴重發作,也許因為我只有一個孩子,所以失落感更大。多麼希望我有一台閉路電 視,能看見孩子的一舉一動。聽著孩子唱學校的歌,說學校的事,卻一點也高興不起來 ,覺得好像失去兒子,兒子好像也不需要我,我無法再和他享受每分每秒所發生的每件 事。上學的第一個星期,兒子適應的很好,但我過的很痛苦,但如你所說,再一次深入 體會「交託」的功課。
有一次,一位教會姊妹帶他的孩子回嘉義娘家,順便帶我兒子去,其實我是很不捨, 但兒子玩的很高興,也不會找媽媽,在那裡過了一夜,我的心裡受到「一點點」傷害, 但是也很感謝神!因為平時他非常非常的黏我。那一天晚上下班之後,我心想我可以去 做平常無法去做的很多事,因為兒子不在,所以我就挑了一家很有情調的餐廳,享受豐 盛的佳餚,然後去逛街……,但我七點多就回家了,回家整理家務,擦地板……。你知 道嗎?突然覺得作家事比去逛街、吃飯快樂多了!這樣的女人,這樣的心態,是該喜該 悲?我在心裡一直笑著問自己!
分享至此,願你平安!
