【正文】 rents had anything but low expectations for me and my , so they didn39。t tell us to bee doctors or lawyers or anything like that, but my dad did read to us about Aristotle and pioneer germ fighters when lots of other kids were hearing “The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round.” Well, we heard that one too, but “pioneer Germ Fighters” totally rules.(Laughter)I loved to write from the age of four, and when I was six my mom bought me my own laptop equipped with Microsoft you Bill Gates and thank you wrote over 300 short stories on that little laptop, and I wanted to get of just scoffing at this heresy that a kid wanted to get published, or saying wait until you39。re older, my parents were really publishers were not quite so large children39。s publisher ironically saying that they didn39。t work with 39。s publisher not working with children? I don39。t know, you39。re kind of alienating a large client there.(Laughter)Now, one publisher, Action publishing, was willing to take that leap and trust me, and to listen to what I had to published my first book, “Flying Fingers,”you see it hereand from there on, it39。s gone to speaking at hundreds of schools, keynoting to thousands of educators, and finally, today, speaking to appreciate your attention today, because to show that you truly care, you there39。s a problem with this rosy picture of kids being so much better than grow up and bee adults just like you.(Laughter)Or just like you, really? The goal is not to turn kids into your kind of adult, but rather better adults than you have been, which may be a little challenging considering your guys credentials, but the way progress happens is because new generations and new eras grow and develop and bee better than the previous 39。s the reason we39。re not in the Dark Ages matter your position of place in life, it is imperative to create opportunities for children so that we can grow up to blow you away.(Laughter)Adults and fellow TEDsters, you need to listen and learn from kids and trust us and expect more from must lend an ear today, because we are the leaders of tomorrow, which means we39。re going to be taking care of you when you39。re old and , just , really, we are going to be the next generation, the ones who will bring this world , in case you don39。t think that this really has meaning for you, remember that cloning is possible, and that involves going through childhood again, in which case, you39。ll want to be heard just like my , the world needs opportunities for new leaders and new need opportunities to lead and you ready to make the match? Because the world39。s problems shouldn39。t be the human family39。s you.(Applause)Thank ： 上一回別人說你幼稚是什么時候? 像我這樣的小孩，可能經(jīng)常會被人說成是幼稚。每一次我們提出不合理的要求，做出不負責任的行為，或者展現(xiàn)出有別于 普通美國公民的慣常行為之時，我們就被說成是幼稚。這讓我很不服氣。首先，讓我們來回顧下這些事件： 帝國主義和殖民主義，世界大戰(zhàn)，小布什。請你們捫心自問下：這些該歸咎于誰?是大人。而小孩呢，做了些什么? 安妮弗蘭克(Anne Frank)對大屠殺強有力的敘述打動了數(shù)百萬人的心。魯比布里奇斯為美國種族隔離的終結(jié)作出了貢獻。另外，最近還有一個例子，查理辛普森(Charlie Simpson)騎自行車 為海地募得 12萬英鎊。所以，這些例子證明了年齡與行為完全沒有關(guān)系?！坝字伞边@個詞所對應(yīng)的特點 是常?？梢詮拇笕松砩峡吹?，由此我們在批評 不負責和非理性的相關(guān)行為時，應(yīng)停止使用這個年齡歧視的詞。(掌聲)謝謝!話說回來，誰能說 我們這個世界不正是需要 某些類型的非理性思維嗎? 也許你以前有過宏大的計劃，但卻半途而廢，心想： 這個不可能，或代價太高 或這對我不利。不管是好是壞，我們小孩子 在思考不做某事的理由時，不太受這些考量的影響。小孩可能會有滿腦子的奇思妙想 和積極的想法，例如我希望沒有人挨餓 或者所有東西都是免費的，有點像烏托邦的理念。你們當中有多少人還會有這樣的夢想 并相信其可能性? 有時候?qū)v史 及對烏托邦的了解，可能是一種負擔，因為你知道假如所有東西都是免費的，食物儲備會被清空，而缺失將會導致混亂。另一方面，我們小孩還對完美抱有希望。這是件好事，因為要將任何事情變?yōu)楝F(xiàn)實，你首先得心懷夢想。在很多方面，我們的大膽想象 拓寬了可能性的疆界。例如，華盛頓州塔可馬市的玻璃博物館，我的家鄉(xiāng)華盛頓州——你好!(掌聲)這個博物館里有一個項目叫“兒童玻璃設(shè)計”，小孩們自由創(chuàng)作自己的玻璃作品。后來，駐館藝術(shù)家說他們所有的一些極佳靈感就來自這個項目，因為小孩不去理會 吹出不同形狀玻璃的難度限制 他們只是構(gòu)思好的點子。當說到玻璃的時候，你們可能 想到的是奇胡利(Chihuly)色彩豐富的玻璃設(shè)計 或意大利花瓶，但小孩子敢于挑戰(zhàn)玻璃藝術(shù)家，并超越他們 進入心碎蛇 和火腿男孩的領(lǐng)地——看到了嗎，火腿男孩有“肉視力”哦(笑聲)第五篇：孩子要跟書法老師學多長時間才可以？孩子跟老師至少要學習多長時間卞樹彬/文很多家長從小就給孩子選擇藝術(shù)教師，參加學習，有的孩子從小開始，一直學了10幾年，總感覺不理想，到底孩子要跟老師學習多長時間呢？選老師要注意什么呢？回答是多方面的：答：孩子開始學習的年齡，可以決定他要跟老師學習的時間長短，年齡小就要多學幾年，年齡大可以少學幾年，比如5歲開始學習書畫（書法、中國畫）學三至五年就可以了，十歲開始學習可以縮減一年，15歲開始學習學習兩年就可以了，20歲以上學習一年至兩年就可以了，當然藝無止境，和老師學習的時間有限，藝術(shù)的學習是一個終身的過程，自己學習的時間是終身都需要的。我不贊成孩子跟老師學習太長的時間，這樣會磨滅孩子的藝術(shù)靈感，降低他們的學習興趣，對孩子的發(fā)展不利。我以前收過一批學員，年齡在18—22之間，在入學之前我告訴他們，我只教你們半年，以后我不會再給您們輔導的，而且我的學費是很貴的，需要一次性繳納，中途退學不退費，半年以后，這批孩子都有了一個非常好的學習成果，而且他們現(xiàn)在的發(fā)展都還不錯，經(jīng)常向我匯報他們藝術(shù)上的新收獲。當然，選擇教師是很重要的事情，有的說找一位書畫名家教，一定錯不了，在這里指出，不能只看其在書畫界的知名度，還要看他會不會教學生，如果不會教學，則會影響孩子的學習的。還有的說找一個學員很多的班，這要看教師負不負責，能不能管理好這么多的學生，照顧好孩子的學習，要不然也會影響孩子的學習效果。
