【“另类”教育法】 教育法

　　读到这篇文章，我不禁想起《极道鲜师》里的久美子老师和三年D班那帮问题学生。虽然每次听到久美子为学生打架前说那句“因为他们是我的学生”都想喷笑，但不得不承认第一次听到这话时还是让我震撼了一下，或许正是这种认同感温暖了那些被所有人放弃的孩子吧。文中的老师虽不像久美子那样黑白通吃、锄强扶弱、个性霸道、打架功夫一流，但她的行为同样鼓舞了学生，影响甚至改变了他们的一生。
　　A truck driver was enjoying his meal at a local diner[餐车饭店] and happened to look towards the door when it opened. That was probably the only reason he ever paid attention to the old lady who came in. She was quite ordinary looking, a little bent, wisps[小束] of white hair had escaped from under her hat. She had good clean clothes, a bit old-fashioned[过时的] perhaps, but that was sort of expected from an old lady.
　　He bit into his hamburger and expected the lady to disappear into one of the booths[饭馆中的小隔间] quietly. But not this old lady.
　　There was the sound of running steps and the owner and all the servers hurried from behind the counter to meet the old lady.
　　“Mrs. Cosby!” They shouted, “How pleased we are to see you!”
　　The old lady smiled and greeted them all.
　　“Susan, Bob, Alyssa, Carmen… Good to see you all. How have you been? Life has been good to you?”
　　“Very good, indeed, Mrs. Cosby!” Bob, the owner said, “Now, let me take your coat.”
　　Very carefully he took the old lady’s coat. The truck driver watched with interest. He had never seen a diner owner help anyone out of their coats before. And he had been driving across the country for quite a few years to say the least[退一步说].
　　“I’ll bring you a little soup first. Then you can decide what you want to eat this time,” Alyssa smiled and returned to the kitchen.
　　“But first I shall tidy up your table!” Susan said.
　　This she did—she wiped the table clean and out of nowhere appeared a bright white, clean table cloth. Carmen seemed to pull a vase with a yellow rose from her pocket.
　　“Now you sit down and make yourself comfortable, Mrs.
　　Cosby!” Bob helped her to sit down, “There…now, what would you like to drink? Water with a touch of[一点儿] lemon?”
　　When Bob passed his table, the truck driver could not resist[忍得住].
　　“Excuse me…”
　　“Yes? Would you like more coffee?” Bob asked.
　　“No, thank you, maybe later. I was just wondering…what is so special about the old lady over there?”
　　“Teacher attitude,” Bob smiled.
　　“Teacher attitude?” The truck driver did not believe his ears.
　　“I’ll explain soon if you wait,” Bob said.
　　And out of sheer[纯粹的] curiosity[好奇心] the truck driver waited, watching in awe[敬畏] how the servers did everything in their power to make the old lady really enjoy her meal. And when she was finished, Bob refused to take any payment from her. He escorted[护送] her to the door and stood there, waving as long as it took for her to reach the corner and turn out of sight.
