, suddenly many paper airplanes flew out of the window of the classroom, each of which was accompanied by a message, which was a parting message from the children. Although they cannot send the teacher away in person, they express their gratitude and love to the teacher in this way. The paper airplane that fell slowly carried words that could not be told in person, and brought the most precious love and respect.

The name
"The Spring of the Cow Herding Class" does not seem to be very eye-catching. Many people may choose to skip it the first time they see the name of this movie. But it is undeniable that this movie is indeed a classic, especially in its portrayal of the relationship between students and teachers.
"The Spring of the Cow Herding Class" tells the story of a music teacher, Matthew, who was not able to meet his talents, came to a male boarding school nicknamed "Bottom of the Pond" as the superintendent. He faced not ordinary students, but a group of students. Problem children abandoned by adults are like mud on the bottom of an abandoned, dirty pond.
And Matthew is the spring of this "cow herding class", he brought hope to the children through the "friendship" education method, and changed the story of the children and his own destiny.
01, understand the children’s inner needs
In Matthew’s first class, he told all the children that in order to get to know them better, please write down the professions they want to pursue in the future, so as to better understand children.
He originally thought that these naughty and naughty children would not cooperate with him or would provoke a ridicule and resistance. Unexpectedly, every child thinks and writes seriously.
From this incident, Matthew discovered that these children are not hopeless on the surface or as other teachers said. They still have various visions and hopes for their future, but they need someone willing to spend. The mind really understands them and guides them patiently.
At this point, the kind-hearted Matthew faced the group of children who seemed to others that mud could not support the wall, he used his own way to understand them and protect them. He said to other teachers, "He is a good boy and needs to be understood, that's all."
02, providing a good growth environment
After a period of observation and contact, Matthew found that the school principal used brutal and high pressure to manage Corporal punishment is common here to treat these problematic teenagers. No matter what mistakes the children make, big or small, as long as they are known by the principal, there is no patient persuasion, no investigation, only indiscriminate harsh punishment.
Matthew, who has a quiet personality, hopes to improve this situation in his own way. He adopts "non-reaction" to create an opportunity for students to reform.
For example, in class, students put cigarettes in the skeleton of the human body, and he used "cannot smoke in class" to remove the cigarettes to resolve the trouble caused by the students; reached a private agreement with the little boy who designed the frame of Uncle Ma Sang to take care of the injured Uncle, and gradually realized his mistake; seeing Mohank draw his own cartoon portrait on the blackboard, Matthew also drew Mohank's cartoon portrait to defuse the students' provocative behavior, weaken the conflict between teachers and students, and increase Affects each other.
Matthew would compose some chorus in his spare time. When he found out that there was no music class in this boarding school, he decided to use music to open the closed hearts of the students. Matthew found his place for each child by giving music lessons and organizing a choir, and began to teach them how to sing, and gradually developed a deep relationship with the students. The best way to learn
should be an all-round, three-dimensional, immersive learning form, so that children can experience fun. During the experience, the children gradually discovered their own interests, hobbies, and specialties, and at the same time cultivated the ability to collaborate with others in group activities.
03, regardless of previous suspicions, tap the potential of students. The famous conductor Mohank who first appeared in the film
grew up in a single-parent family, and his mother was a waiter in a coffee shop. Perhaps because he is a single parent, he has suffered a lot of criticism since he was a child. His character is withdrawn and sensitive. In the eyes of his former teacher, he has the face of an angel.With a devil's heart, because he was naughty, he was expelled from a public school and came to a supplementary education school, but was also shut in a dark room every other time.
His sensitivity is particularly prominent when it comes to his mother. In the film, the violent boy Meng Dan mocks Mohanke's mother as an improper professional. Mohanke is so angry that he does not hesitate to go up and fight him. Later, she sneaked into the coffee shop where her mother worked and hid in the rain to watch her work.
once joined the choir. When he saw Matthew chatting with his mother very happily, he didn't hesitate to lose Matthew's face. Even though he had a good impression of Matthew at the time, his closeness with his mother still disgusted him.
Faced with such a problem young man, Matthew did not give up on him. After a rehearsal, Matthew accidentally discovered Mohank’s unique voice and his musical talents, which was shocking to the heavens, and he was shocked by him. Arcana.
In order to help this talented young man realize his problems, Matthew borrowed the ink incident and cancelled the solo part of the Mohank Chorus. One can imagine how uncomfortable it is to like to sing but not to be able to sing, but Mohank still has an indifferent attitude on the surface. The turning point occurred when the choir reported the performance to the Countess. When Matthew gestured to him to sing solo, his eyes were filled with shock and gratitude. This lesson made Mohank learn to cherish.
In this way, Mohank felt the goodwill of the world step by step under Matthew’s goodwill, and gradually became a "normal" child. At the same time, under the recommendation of Matthew, he entered the Lyon Conservatory of Music and eventually became famous. The famous conductor of the world. And all that Matthew did was discovered by Mohank after reading Matthew's diary.
quoted Matthew's words in the film, "Everyone dreams of doing a great job!" What we teachers and parents have to do is to help children discover the career they want to pursue.
"The Spring of the Cow Herding Class" is moving because it not only shows the world how a caring teacher treats problem students, but also touches people’s hearts from an educational level. This film undoubtedly One of the best movies about the teacher-student relationship.
Imagine if these children did not have Teacher Matthew in their lives, how would their lives be different? Perhaps they, like other problem students, have been cast aside by the world and will always live at the bottom of society. But the appearance of Matthew changed them, made them feel love and dreams, and allowed them to live better for themselves.
This is also the greatness of the movie, allowing every audience to deeply experience the deep feelings between teachers and students. I hope that every child can have such a friendly life mentor in their life, warm and encourage them with practical actions, so that they can have a more brilliant and different life.
