師 子 說
黃歡整理 2/13/1999
今天班上為一位休學，即將去澳洲唸書的學生送別。這孩子，在的時候整天被我唸，有次花了1800元剪一個頭，臉都看不到，兩個禮拜後被我逼著剪短。不穿制服，抽煙撞球不唸書，數學超爛…典型的體制適應不良。
其實是講義氣，善良的孩子。現在要走了，大家才捨不得，要我講話。講沒兩句就說不出來，全班同學也到處傳面紙。
孩子們一個一個說出心裡的話，我很感動。老師真的身負很大的責任，至少目前這個班，沒有一個「壞孩子」，如果我能再多對每一個人用心，可能真能影響他們的一生，導引他們走向正確的路。只是平時忙東忙西，總是覺得虧欠他們。
最後吃蛋糕，小兔崽子打奶油戰居然抹到我臉上來，可惜操行成績已經送出去了…

Hello, 師子:It's been a while since I respond to your message. I guess because I have not been able to help out any activity that you are planning.
有一段時間沒有回應你的發言了，我想是因為對於你計劃的活動我都幫不上忙罷!?I have read most of your messages, and I know that you are a teacher. Reading the story about your student makes me realize that you are a very good teacher.
我看過你大部份的發言，知道你是個老師。讀完你學生的故事更讓我感受到你是個很好的老師。I wish that I had a teacher like you. I remember one of my teacher in junior high school. I was placed in the "so-called" "TOP CLASS". Most students in that class are very smart except me. That particular teacher thought that I was stupid. She always tried to insult me in front of everyone. In fact, she told students that I would not be successful even if I tried.
我但願有個像你這樣的老師。我記得高中時的一位老師。我編在所謂的好班，除了我之外，班上的同學都很聰明。那老師認為我愚笨，總是當眾羞辱我，甚至跟同學說：我再怎麼努力也是徒勞無功。Now that I have completed my master degree. I always want to go back and say "hello" to this particular teacher. I want to prove to her that she was wrong to treat anyone like she treated me.
如今我已完成碩士學位，總想回去跟那位老師打聲招呼。向她証明以當初對待我的方式對待任何一個學生都是錯誤的。I am sure your are a very good teacher. I can tell by the way you are talking about that student. Plus, you devote lots time in helping homeless dogs, and cats.
從你談論那個學生的方式，以及投入大量時間幫助流浪貓狗這事，我確信你是個好老師。I want to thanks you for all the students out there. There should be more teacher like you. Merry Christmas, and best wish for the upcoming adoption fair on Dec. 26th.
我要為那邊所有學生謝謝你，像你這樣的好老師愈多愈好。祝聖誕快樂，也祝福即將於26日舉行的認養活動。PS. I am sorry that I get angry with you last time. I hope that you don't mind my sensitivity.
還有，上次生你的氣我真對不起，希望你不要在意我的敏感。

看妳講的，好像在講我四姊的故事。我四姊以前長得又小又乾，黑黑醜醜(放心，她不會上這個板)，國中時和住我們對面的女孩同班，級任老師不客氣跟我爸媽說我姊大概考不到什麼好學校，並稱讚對面的女孩。
王陽明不是五歲才會講話嗎？我姊越老越開竅。她後來考上台大，到美國唸完博士，在一流的Salk Institute做博士後研究，(發明沙克疫苗的那個salk),現在在中研院。我老爸也很想去跟那個老師說Hello, 她當年很傷一個孩子的自尊。
老師在傳統中國社會被視為神聖的工作，現在，我常想老師只不過是眾多職業之一，也告訴學生老師也是普通人，說的話不一定對。然而，教職畢竟不同於其他職業。很多老師，實在不配，害了台灣的下一代。
妳嘛，沒空說hello，寄個卡片也行嘛，跟老師報告報告近況…
