A short story that happened hundreds of years ago also illustrates this truth-no matter how small and unremarkable the things to be done are, you must never neglect the preparation, otherwise you may pay a very painful price.

King Richard and his opponent Henry, Earl of Richmond, will fight to the death. This battle will decide who will rule Britain.

On the morning of the battle, Richard sent a groom to prepare his favorite war horse.

"Hurry up and nail it," the groom said to the blacksmith. "The king wants to take the lead on it."

"You have to wait," replied the blacksmith. "A few days ago, I crucified all the horses in the king's army. Now I have to find some iron pieces. "

I can't wait. The groom shouted impatiently, "The king's enemies are advancing. We must face the enemy on the battlefield. Use whatever you have. "

The blacksmith buried himself in his work, took four horseshoes from an iron bar, flattened them, shaped them, fixed them on the horseshoes, and then began to nail. After nailing three palms, he found that there were no nails to nail the fourth palm.

"I need one or two nails," he said. "It will take some time to play two."

"I told you I can't wait," said the groom eagerly. "I heard the sound of the bugle. Can you make do? "

"I can nail horseshoes, but I can't be as strong as others."

"Can you hang up?" Asked the groom.

"I think so," replied the blacksmith, "but I'm not sure."

"Well, that's it," cried the groom. "Hurry up, or the king will blame us both."

The two armies began to fight, and King Richard took the lead in urging the soldiers to face the enemy. "Go, go!" He shouted and led the troops to the enemy's defense. Far away, he saw several of his own soldiers retreating on the other side of the battlefield. If others saw them like this, they would retreat, so Richard rushed to the gap with his horse and whip and called the soldiers to turn and fight.

Before halfway, a horseshoe fell, his horse fell to the ground, and Richard was also thrown to the ground.

The frightened beast jumped up and ran away before the king grabbed the reins again. Richard looked around, his soldiers turned and retreated, and the enemy surrounded him.

He waved his sword in the air. "Horse!" He shouted: "A horse, my country was subverted because of this horse."

He has no horse to ride, his army has fallen apart, and the soldiers have their own problems. In a short time, the enemy captured Richard and the battle was over.

Since then, people have said:

A nail is missing,

Lost a horseshoe;

Without horseshoes,

Lost a war horse;

Without horses,

Played a defeat;

Lost a battle,

Lost a country.

All the losses are due to the lack of a horseshoe nail.

This famous legend comes from the fact that the late King Richard of England abdicated. He was defeated in the Persian Battle of 1485. There is also Shakespeare's famous sentence: "Horse, horse, a horse lost its country." Let this battle go down in history forever, and tell us a truth at the same time. Although it is only a nail that is not well prepared, it brings great danger.

Recently, I heard that a student in a school in our city was criticized by the teacher for going home to reflect, and the child ran away on the way home. Later, it was found out (initially determined by the police) that he committed suicide outside the school and his parents quarreled at school, which affected the normal teaching of the school. At work, looking at local and foreign cases, such things happen from time to time. Think carefully, no one wants to see a tragedy, but where is the root of similar tragedies? How should school education and family education connect? Why do parents expect too much from school education, but they are not responsible for their own education and are not confident in their educational ability? I saw some friends' opinions in the post bar and suddenly remembered this famous western story. I want to share this story with my parents in the post bar.

My daughter is a fourth grader. I feel really heavy worrying about my children's health, safety and study every day. I think every parent is in the same mood as me. I hope our children can be healthy, safe and have a bright future. However, as children grow up, we also know that raising and educating children is a long-term and arduous task. We not only expect her to have profound knowledge and decent work in the future, but also expect her to have a healthy body and a mature mind. It is really a difficult process for us to complete such cultivation. It is not easy for us to constantly seek our own development and improve individuals and families in the process of society, facing the hardships of life, the pressure of work and the noise of society.

However, since we are parents, we should bravely and meticulously undertake such responsibilities and obligations. Education for children should not just stop at making them eat and wear warm clothes. In the process of accompanying children to grow up slowly, we must constantly enrich ourselves and strive to reduce our negligence in parenting and education. You should enrich your parenting education ability through learning. Children are our own. We should always pay attention to the fact that a little negligence in family education may affect the future of children or families.

As an educator, I personally feel that school education is a kind of comprehensive education, and it is a comprehensive training and reminder for all students. In order to really implement children's psychological and moral education in our minds, the cooperation of family education is very important. What our parents really want to cut in is to share and learn the correct way to grow up while caring for their children. We can't just expect the perfection of school education, but forgive ourselves for the imperfection of family education.

I think, as a parent, I should play a good role in my social family, and let myself talk to my children calmly during the intermission of various social activities, during the intermission of business dealings, and during the respite of getting up early and getting greedy. I should temporarily turn off the long Korean drama, turn off the boring game of fighting landlords, throw away mahjong that tickles my fingers when I think about it, take time to read some books on children's education, take time to understand children's performance in school and pay attention to educational trends.

It is the most important and glorious thing for every parent to accompany their children to grow up healthily, safely and happily. Being a parent correctly is not easier than doing our work correctly.

(Note: It is beyond the scope of this article to discuss whether the school should be more careful in the above incidents. I just discuss family education with my friends who are also parents. )
