吻猪与爬行 。在英国南部的一所学校里,发生过这样一件令学生们兴奋不已的事。有一位老师调任一个差班的班主任,这些孩子都很调皮捣蛋。这位老师的第一堂课,是跟他们做游戏,玩得非常尽兴。下课了,老师对学生们说:孩子们,你们要是把学习成绩搞上去,我就去吻校外牧场里的一头猪。这些学生兴奋地问:老师,这是真的吗?老师说:不仅是真的,而且我要吻的是一头你们认为是最大的母猪。天真的孩子们都希望老师去吻一头猪。从那天起,他们的课堂纪律变好了,学习积极性变高了,即使有贪玩的,大多数孩子也会提醒道:难道你不希望看到老师去吻那头大猪吗?半年后,孩子们的学习成绩有了很大进步。圣诞节的前夜,孩子们对老师说:老师,你可以去吻那头猪了吗?老师说:当然可以。于是,老师带着这群孩子穿过公路,来到牧场。孩子们在猪圈里找到一头特大特肥的母猪。老师走近那头大母猪,轻轻地吻了它。孩子们在猪圈外面笑得前仰后合,手舞足蹈。我们在国内接受的传统教育,师道尊严根深蒂固,对于老师吻猪这样令人瞠目结舌的事情,也许有人会怀疑它的真实程度。但是,实在是没有对其考证一番的必要。这里有个发生在美国的真实故事,与英国老师吻猪的故事很相似。1998年11月9日,美国犹他州土尔市的一位小学校长42岁的路克爬行上班,在雪地里爬了3个多小时,爬了1。6公里,受到全校师生和过路行人的热烈欢迎。原来,这学期初,为激励全校师生的读书热情,路克校长曾公开打赌:如果你们能在11月9日前读完15万页的书,我就在9日那天爬行上班。一言激起读书热。全校师生猛劲读书,连校办幼稚园中大一点的孩子也参加了这一读书活动。全校师生终于在11月9日前读完了15万页书。于是,有的学生给校长打电话:你爬不爬?说话算不算数?也有人劝他:你已达到激励全校师生发奋读书的目的,不要爬了。可路克校长坚定地说:一诺千金,我一定要爬着上班。与每天一样,路克校长于早晨7点离开家门,所不同的是他没有驾车,而是四肢着地爬行上班。为了安全和不影响交通,他不在公路上爬,而在公路旁边的雪地上爬。有的学生索性和校长一起爬,有的过往汽车得知爬行上班的原因后,向他鸣笛致敬。新闻单位得知消息后,还派人前去采访。经过3个多小时的爬行,路克校长磨破了5副手套,护膝也磨破了,但终于爬到了学校。全校师生夹道欢迎自己心爱的校长,当路克校长从地上站起来的时候,孩子们蜂拥而上,争先恐后地抱他,吻他(蒋光宇)大道理:承诺了的事情就要做。一诺为重百金轻。宁失尊严,勿失己言。其实,只有履行承诺,才能真正提高威信。师生关系也好,领导与被领导的关系也好,推而广之,人与人之间的关系,除了庄重与严肃之外,似乎还应当多一点宽松与活泼。
