Xiamen University is offering a new class Tree-Climbing.
In June, 2011, the President of Xiamen University (XMU) visited Cornell University in New York, and he was so impressed with the course there that he instituted (设立) it on the XMU campus.
A look at the “Tree climbing” page on the Cornell University website offers us a new picture. The staff who teach the come from many serious fields forest management and logging (砍伐), environmental studies and conservation, even engineering.
These professors do not just let the students climb with their bare hands. They teach the proper safety techniques like those used in rock-climbing: wearing helmets and other protective clothing, and using ropes and harnesses to prevent falls and injuries. This discipline can be a valuable field survival skill, like swimming and the identification of edible (可食 的) plants in the wild. In a time of disaster such as floods, earthquakes, plane crashes, etc., such knowledge may make a difference between life and death.
It is also a challenging class in which students gain skills, physical strength and endurance, triumphing over obstacles and earning a sense of confidence in themselves that no classroom subject could ever give them. It is an example of the huge collection of Possibilities that need to be available to students in our educational institutions, as they try out many aspects of life to find and develop their own particular inborn skills and talents that define their purpose of life.
The child should no longer be seen as an empty cup into which knowledge must be poured by an all-knowing teacher, but should be recognized as a mine rich in gems of great value waiting to be discovered, polished, and allowed to shine in the world. I hope climbing trees will awaken the potential in many students!
