School Daze 书包太重 - 观后感

Heard so much about it... It's been almost everyday since last week... ok... it's a new TV drama (by MediaCorp)... Hm... it's another one of those dramas that focus on schools, teachers and students! I guess, my curiosity is really about one of the artistes - Rui En, who seems to be the hottest heart-throb in town? So, labour day is also 'school daze'... was sitting in front to the TV having a drama-marathon! 9-episodes at one go!!! (well, that's what's all available at the video-on-demand at MioTV 312).

Have not watched local dramas for a long long time... not even the Little Nonya (though it whipped up any wave in this sunny island!).

Yes, there's always some 'star' teachers in such drama - of course, in schools too... a few segments of the stories really my cord... it already painted some really good or real situations in some schools today! Up to the 9th episode, I could draw the sadder side of today's educational scene here...

书包太重 - 剧名,也许就有两个含义罢!
第一,是指重量吧!不单单有电子辞典,还有一本重重厚厚的辞典。天啊!那是“怕输”?还是,我们的新一代还没走入“电子”时代?还不是Digital Native?还是,编剧在暗示我们,学生已经“准备”好了!但,因为老师仍是Dinosaur(?)因此,苦了今日学子,得扛着两个时代,但相同性能的“道具”上学去。那是一种讽刺吗?
第二,该是指负担吧!这负担不单单指孩子在学校里头面对的种种压力,竞争;同时,也指父母所面对的种种压力,而把这股压力,都转移到孩子的身上,成了他们的“重望”。当然,“怕输”的心态更是表达得分外明显!所以,那个“重”,是社会的“重”。
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
剧的开始不久,就有跑车奔驰的画面!噢! 那是“新人类”老师出场了!用有机会够享受跑车奔驰的感觉来作为奖赏?天啊!那是我们要吹鼓的吗?当然,那也是一种投资吧!用物质去“收买”人心也是一种途径。但,能持久吗?若是“红萝卜”不见了,那些只“认货不认人”的家伙还会那么的合作吗?

当然,这也带出了另一个问题,我们的学子,念书的目的是什么?念书是为了什么?念书是为了谁?当然,从剧里,很明显的,这种问题,主要是出现在中学,小学?是父母的天下,小朋友们,似乎都由父母摆布的。。。
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
当然,剧中的“新人类”老师提到了另一要点,就是与学生“打成一片”。如何“如何与学生打成一片”?剧中表达的,是利用物质,是其中一种方法。那是最直接的方法。但,指标不治本。可是,当“打成一片”时,学生们知道那是一种沟通的桥梁吗?他们可知道,老师与学生之间仍然得划清界线?同时,老师,又知不知道,他们也需与学生之间仍然得划清界线呢?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
可悲的一幕,时看到尽忠职守的老师,被面目可憎的学生凌辱。那张可憎的脸孔,真的恨不得给他一记耳光!败类!可是,真的,学校里,就是有这种恶兽!当然,这种恶兽就是有那种“样子”,很容易认得出的。一眼就看得出!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
当然,另一“特色”,就是“补习”。。。见解,是表达父母的“焦虑”。。。不是“望子成龙,望女成凤”的心态,而是“怕输”的心态!人人都有,我若没有,那岂不是落在人后?补习,排满了所有的课余时间。那,还有童年吗?也许,这个年代,这两个字已经成了“经典”!?
