When I was a child, I lived in California, which is, you know, mostly a
very nice place to live, but for me as a child, California could also be a
little scary.
I remember how frightening it was to see the chandelier that hung above
our dining table swing back and forth during every minor earthquake, and I
sometimes couldn't sleep at night, terrified that the Big One might strike
while we were sleeping.
And what we say about kids who have fears like that is that they have a
vivid imagination. But at a certain point, most of us learn to leave these
kinds of visions behind and grow up.
We learn that there are no monsters hiding under the bed, and not every
earthquake brings buildings down. But maybe it's no coincidence that some of
our most creative minds fail to leave these kinds of fears behind as adults.

good morning, ladies and gentlemen. i’d like to share my teaching dream
with you. but before that, i want to say something about the beginning of this
dream. in march this year, three teachers from australia came to our school.
during the meeting, we exchanged a lot about education. i found that though we

spring, they can go to the wild, lie on the lawn, and watch the kite flying in
the blue sky. in the summer, they can go to the forest, live in a cabin, and
listen to the rhythm of the rain. …
students are free but polite and they respect each other. they can leave
at 4:00 every afternoon, or perhaps earlier. they have the freedom to organize
time. they can go to the library, go to the lab, the computer rooms or the
playground. they’re self-motivated and have a strong thirst for knowledge.
and there are no frequent exams and rankings. students won’t be forced to
wear uniforms everyday, and there is no required hair style. everyday is so
colorful that they are looking forward to the next day when going to bed at
night,
every teacher in this school can give a course as they like. there is no
tedious rating, no scraps of quantitative management and no rigid standard.
teachers can fully display their personality in class, and they feel very
