这是这个时代特有的一道风景。千百万来自农村、小县城、城郊等地的人们,为了活得更好,背井离乡,来到繁华的城市。于是,“打工族”成了上个世纪九十年代兴起的特有名词。十多年过去了,这支打工大军已日益庞大,他们如候鸟般奔波在落后的家乡和繁华的城市间,从一个地方迁徙到另一个地方。在这支浩浩大军的背后,是一群生活在这个特殊环境下的“小小鸟”。他们或伴着爷爷奶奶外公外婆留守家乡,或跟着外出打工的爸爸妈妈远走他乡。在守望与流离中,他们成了一支同样庞大的“留守鸟”和“迁徙鸟”大军。他们是一群孱弱的小鸟,他们是一群需要更多关爱的孩子——家庭,和学校;生活,和心灵。本期特别话题,让我们将关注的目光在外来打工族的孩子们身上聚焦。你的孩子就是这其中的一员吗?你兄弟姐妹的孩子就是这其中的一员吗?你邻居家的孩子就是这其中的一员吗?你班上的孩子就是这其中的一员吗? 你的目光是否曾在他们身上停留?你的大手是否曾试着牵起他们的小手?作为父母的我们,可以为他们做些什么?作为教师的我们,可以为他们做些什么?心系教育、关注未来的我们,可以为他们做些什么? This is a unique landscape of this era. Millions of people from rural areas, small towns, suburbs and other places came to prosperous cities in order to live a better life and leave their hometown. As a result, “migrant workers” has become a peculiar term emerged in the nineties of last century. More than a decade later, the army of migrant workers has become increasingly large, migrating from place to place as a migratory bird among impoverished towns and bustling cities. Behind this mighty army is a group of “little birds” living in this special environment. They accompany grandparents and grandparents grandparents to stay in their hometown, or follow the migrant workers away from hometown. In keeping watch and fleeing, they became an equally large army of “left-behind” and “migratory birds.” They are frail birds, a group of children who need more love - family, school, life, and soul. Special issue of this issue, let us focus attention on migrant workers who focus on children. Is your child one of them? Is your sibling's child one of them? Is your neighbor's child one of them? Is your child in the class one of them? Have your eyes on them? Have your big hands tried to hold their little hands off? What can we do for them as parents? What can we do for them as teachers? What can we do for those of us who are concerned about the future?
