要不要

我們不能改變別人
只有現在開始提醒未來的自己

某位長輩跟自己的孩子形同陌路，很多人都想幫忙他們拉近親子關係，但聽過那個長輩跟自己孩子的對話方式，大家都放棄了。
『過年過節都不回家！你真的很不孝耶！』、『別人家的小孩都會回來，就只有你不回來！』、『如果不是你！我會過得這麼辛苦？』、『你再不回家就等著回來幫我辦喪事！』⋯⋯

我在想，這位長輩其實是希望自己的孩子回來陪他的，但說出來的語言三句不離道德批判、情緒勒索、比較⋯⋯等。

如果可以好好說話，會不會好一點呢？
『這次過節，我希望你可以回家陪陪我。你沒有回家，我覺得很失落，但我也可以理解你在北部生活很不容易，如果你手邊的事情忙完了，可以回家看看我嗎？』

不過，沒有什麼機會好好說了⋯⋯這位長輩漸漸忘記自己曾有位孩子了⋯⋯

//How one school program turned Zachary's life around//
By Kathleen Ferguson

Zachary Mayes can clearly remember the best day of his life.

The 10-year-old from Campbelltown, in Sydney's south-west, was pushing through pain to claim victory in his primary school cross-country race (越野跑) earlier this year.

"Last year I came first equal ( = tie for first place 雙冠軍) in the cross-country so my goal for this year was to win," he said.

"It felt like it was the best day of my life."

Life has been harder for Zachary than most.

He lives with a condition called clubfoot (馬蹄內翻足), meaning he was born with his left foot turning inwards.

He has had 16 casts (石膏) and has undergone several corrective treatments after he began relapsing (復發) when he started school at Campbelltown's Elderslie Public School in 2017.

He and his family have developed a special bond with the school after Zachary got far more out of its learning practices than they expected.

The school has borrowed and repurposed ideas from other schools across NSW, Victoria and South Australia which have all been networking as part of a pilot program (實驗計劃) for about five years.

Fifty schools are in the program, which is designed to help promising students in low socio-economic areas reach their potential.

At Elderslie, it has meant adopting more student-led learning practices that were being used in South Australian schools.

"Before the [cross-country] run my foot was really tight but I was gritty (堅毅) and kept going even when it was hard. I was positive and believed in myself," Zachary said.

Zachary employs life-size alien characters developed by the students to help in class, the hospital when he was getting treatment, and in day-to-day life.

His favourite characters are Blazer the Brave and Go-Go Gritty, which represent bravery and resilience.

His mother, Lana, was not expecting doctors to be asking her what her son was doing to remain so positive during treatment.

"It has made such a huge difference to how he's approached the challenges that clubfoot has thrown at him," Ms Mayes said.

"It gives me a lot of confidence to think about his future and all of these really positive associations that he has now built with his clubfoot."

The first in-depth evaluation of the network program, created by Social Ventures Australia, has shown promising results, including improved teacher satisfaction and student engagement and learning.

It found linking these schools from different education systems led to 100 per cent of participating principals reporting they had gained an improved knowledge of effective learning practices.

The program's leader Suzanne Cridge said no one should receive a lesser education based on their postcode.

"We are talking about connecting the good work that sits across the Australian landscape across multiple states then actually allowing it to grow together so that it has a greater influence across a broader part of the system," she said.

But the benefits Zachary has experienced go far beyond the realms (領域) of literacy and numeracy.

"When I think about them [the aliens] it is easier to be like them and choose stuff I want to do with my club-foot," he said.

How one school program turned Zachary's life around Zachary Mayes has had 16 casts on his clubfoot since 2017, but he never thought a program at his school in south-west Sydney would help him reach personal goals as well as academic ones.

A也不過是average😂🙈
