喜欢下面这首诗,是关于孩子的。作者是意大利著名教育理论家、瑞吉欧教育体系创始人洛利斯·马拉古兹(译文引用自猫咪成长日记)
孩子的一百种语言
孩子是由一百种组成的。
孩子有一百种语言
一百双手
一百个想法
一百种思考、游戏、说话的方式。
一百种倾听、惊奇、爱的方式
一百种歌唱与了解的喜悦
一百种世界等着孩子们去发掘
一百种世界等着孩子们去创造
一百种世界等着孩子们去梦想。
孩子有一百种语言 (还多了一百种的百倍再百倍)
但是他们偷走了九十九种。
学校和文化
把脑袋与身体分开。
他们告诉孩子:
不要用双手去想
不要用脑袋去做
只要倾听不要说话
了解但毫无喜悦
只有在复活节与圣诞节的时候
才去爱和惊喜。
他们告诉孩子:
去发现早已存在的世界
而一百种当中
他们偷走了九十九种。
他们告诉孩子
工作与游戏
真实与幻想
天空与大地
理由与梦想
都是互不相关的。
因此他们告诉孩子
一百种并不在那里。
孩子说
不,一百种是在那里。
The Hundred Languages of Children: Narrative of the Possible
Loris Malaguzzi
The child is made of one hundred.
The child has a hundred languages
a hundred hands
a hundred thoughts
a hundred ways of thinking
of playing, of speaking.
A hundred, always a hundred
ways of listening
of marveling
of loving
a hundred joys for singing
and understanding
a hundred worlds to discover
a hundred worlds to invent
a hundred worlds to dream.
The child has a hundred languages
(and a hundred hundred hundred more)
but they steal ninety-nine
the school and the culture
separate the head from the body.
They tell the child to think
without hands
to do without head
to listen and not speak
to understand without joy
to love and marvel
only at Easter and Christmas.
They tell the child
to discover the world already there
and of the hundred
they steal ninety-nine.
They tell the child that
work and play
reality and fantasy
science and imagination
sky and earth
reason and dream
are things
that do not belong together.
And thus they tell the child
that the hundred is not there.
The child says:
No way. The hundred is there
