美国哲人霍姆斯说:“一个孩子的教育。应当在他出生前一百年开始。”当哲人以他敏锐的目光在他的哲思中给儿童以充分的地位时。现实中的儿童却屡屡找不到本该属于自己的位置。当理论被群众掌握的时候。理论才会真正有了力量。历经漫长的失误、痛楚,甚至失败,儿童终于在教育中有了被发现、被尊重的机遇。与其说这是儿童的庆幸。毋宁说这是成人的庆幸。因为是走过童年的成人的真正成熟。才有今天对曾经是自己的已逝童年的生命的确认。人生本来是一个历时性的生命过程。儿童时代是这个历时过程中全部生命状态的胚胎,是一粒渴望得到加倍呵护的种子。确认儿童,是对生命延续的高度责任。(妮子) Holmes, the American philosopher, said: “The education of a child should start a hundred years before his birth.” When the philosopher, with his keen eye, gave his children a sufficient place in his philosophical thinking. In reality, children often find their own place should not be. When theory is mastered by the masses. Theory will really have the power. After long mistakes, pains and even failures, children finally have the opportunity to be discovered and respected in education. This is not so much a celebration of children. Rather, it is an adult’s honor. Because it is really mature adult childhood. Only today is the confirmation of the life that once was his own deceased childhood. Life is a diachronic life process. Childhood is the embryo of all life in this diachronic process, a seed that longs for double protection. Confirming children is a high level of responsibility for the continuation of life. (Nizi)
