Yesterday, I watched a video titled "Boy slaps his brother with ipad" in my Facebook. I really could not stop laughing when I first watched it. The first thing I said was "Wow, ipad also have another function!" But, when I watched the second time, I felt bad about it. Is this the right way to treat your brother when he did things that really annoying? Definitely NO.
This video remind me of E.M. Foster's essay "What I Believe", he states,
"Tolerance, good temper and sympathy - they are what matter really, and if the human race is not to collapse they must come to the front before long." (75)
I strongly agree with this statement. We have teach our student tolerance, good temper and sympathy in every day school life. But, what have happened to our children nowadays? Why they behaved like this? What were missing among them?
According to a parenting consultant, Kenny Toh, the secret ingredient that is vital to having great relationships is R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Yes, I strongly agree with him. These boys do not know how to respect each other. From this incident, I am going to let my students learn how to respect. As Kenny Toh said, just remember the first letter in ‘relationship’ … ‘R’ for R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Put in another way, without mutual respect, relationship won't work. To respect another is to honor his or her dignity and choices. And when you genuinely respect a person, you will also avoid behaving in disrespectful manners such as criticizing, blaming, complaining, irritating, making fun of, shaming, threatening, and inflicting physical, psychological, or emotional harm.
