老師也愛寫作業─

不太記得從前當學生時，喜不喜歡寫作業，好像視科目而定，對於我特別喜愛的科目，寫作業是種享受，否則就只是為了交作業而寫。

這一學年突然有種領悟，可以和學生一同作作業，因為很多生命教育的靈感是我在慢跑之際衍生而出，自己也覺得如果我也作一份，以我的人生經驗，寫出來的東西應該和學生很不一樣。前幾週放假在家，很認真地寫有關於過去、現在和未來的自己，寫完之後，對未來的想法更清楚了。也許我的學生們在數十年之後回過頭來看，才能理解為什麼這樣的功課要好好做吧！

Teachers love to write homework!

I don't remember too well how I felt about doing homework when I was a kid. For me, writing assignments was quite enjoyable when it came to my favorite subjects. Most of the time, I did homework just because I didn't want to be punished.

It occurred to me to do some assignments with my students last semester. Many ideas for the interesting homework about life education come to me when I am jogging. I've always been wondering how different mine would be compared with students' since I am so much older and more experienced. A few weeks ago, during the long holidays, I wrote seriously about short introduction on my past, present and future. After I finished it, my outlook on the future was so clear. Maybe my students will understand why they should take their time to do some homework in many decades…

不寫作業就去玩吧！

如果不想寫作業，就出去玩吧！學期走到中間點，很多顆心都飛出去了，還好這學期有個重頭戲叫做畢業旅行，但是老師的想法和學生就截然不同，因為對老師來說，我們身兼各種責任，我把它叫做「不寧靜的旅行」。儘管如此，居然還有很多人羨慕我，那麼我就試著在表面寧靜、底下波濤洶湧的藍色海洋裡自得其樂吧！祝我旅途愉快！

Go out for fun if you are not in the mood for doing homework!

If you refuse to write any more homework, go out for fun! In the middle of the semester, many hearts have flown far and away from the textbooks and the school. Fortunately, this semester we have the graduation trip for the 11th graders. However, teachers wouldn't be so happy about the trip because we have all kinds of responsibilities. I call it "the un-tranquil trip." Despite so, many people still envy me for being able to go to the sunny South Taiwan. Then I'll try to have some fun along the way trying not to worry so much. Bon voyage to me!
