Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. "There's so much to learn," he'd say. "Though we're born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.” He was determined that none of his children would be denied an education.
Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point. Then came the moment—the time to share the day's new learning. Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen. "Felice," he'd say, "tell me what you learned today.” "I learned that the population of Nepal is ....” Silence.
Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. “The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well . . . . ” he’d say. “Get the map; let's see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.
As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another's education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.
Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.
爸爸是一个贫穷农民的儿子,他很早就辍学去了一家工厂工作,因为当时教育是为富人准备的。于是,世界变成了他的学校。怀着极大的兴趣,他阅读了所有他能找到的东西,倾听了镇上的长辈们的意见,了解了他小小家乡之外的世界。“要学的东西太多了,”他会说。“尽管我们生来就很愚蠢,但只有愚蠢的人才是这样。”他下定决心,他的孩子不会被剥夺教育权。
因此,爸爸坚持让我们每天至少学习一件新东西。尽管小时候我们觉得这太疯狂了,但我们从来没有想过要拒绝爸爸的请求。晚餐时间似乎非常适合分享我们学到的东西。我们会谈论当天的新闻;无论多么微不足道,都不会掉以轻心。爸爸会认真听,随时准备发表一些评论,总是切中要害。然后是分享一天新知识的时刻。坐在桌子前面的爸爸会把椅子往后推,倒一杯红酒,准备听一听。“费利斯,”他会说,“告诉我你今天学到了什么。”“我知道尼泊尔的人口是……”寂静
爸爸在想所说的话,好像世界的拯救将取决于它。“尼泊尔的人民。嗯……”他会说。“拿地图,让我们看看尼泊尔在哪里。”于是全家开始寻找尼泊尔。
同样的经历一直重复,直到每个家庭成员都有机会。晚餐是在我们清楚地了解了至少六个这样的事实之后才结束的。
小时候,我们很少考虑这些教育奇迹。然而,我们一家人在一起成长,分享经验,参与彼此的教育。通过看着我们,倾听我们,尊重我们的意见,肯定我们的价值,给我们一种尊严感,爸爸无疑是我们最有影响力的老师。
后来,在我接受未来教师培训期间,我师从了一些最著名的教育工作者。他们正在传授爸爸一直以来都知道的东西——不断学习的价值。他的技术使我终生受益匪浅。没有浪费任何一天,尽管我永远不知道什么时候了解尼泊尔的人口可能会有用。
