五年人格教育的重量

 

孔子於二千多年前曾說過,「未知生,焉知死」,那麼「知死」又是否只是那一項禮儀呢?今天Phyleung的事暫告一段落,但他是一種怎麼樣的存在?

 

一班從溫室離開的學生聚首母校,高唱 May we who came here as schoolboys, Mature and graduates as gentlemen”時,未想過多人再聚是已三個年頭。三年前他有道理,質疑我們對知識的了解,問「你係咪真係識先?」;三年後有人分享說他以後會在主處用同樣口吻、眼神,質問「你點上黎架?」。而這不就我們所認識的他麼?

 

而事實上公軀之離去,訓戒長於心中。至少我們今天仍會想起他討論甚麼是自由,甚麼叫作弊,甚麼是應該,甚麼是不該;是他會以諷刺的口吻,在上堂的時候對其他人(指著正在睡覺的我)說「攰啊嘛」;是他會堂上唱歌彈Guitar, 吹笛給學生聽;是他容許學生借用他上堂時間踢波;他的態度某程度上影響了我現在「我行我素」的性格。

 

現今有教師抱怨學生太壞、太難教,那麼他們應該想一想,是誰在影響學生的呢?無疑Phyleung從前是嚴了一點,罵人從不留情面,但「養不教,父之過;教不嚴,師之惰」啊!從來他就不只是師,更是父吧。Fr. Deignan曾於一訪問中說過 “The standard of behaviour was going down, and the value of youth, they were all not very positive.” 箇中關係,一覽無遺──因為Phyleung不多啊。

 

當大學講師為教而講,中學老師為公開考試成績而「努力」,姑不論良莠,誰理你道德觀念如何?禮貌人品是否合格?當現實社會中,成績、薪金與成就為正比時,我不得不再一次向Phyleung再一次表示我的敬意,Thank you, Lord, for our Wah Yan days. And for this precious education”.

 

一路好走
