從標籤到品牌——不斷實驗的我/My everlasting experiment | 曾允斌 TSENG, YUN BIN | TEDxMingdao HS Youth
在家自學,也就是是正式申請個人實驗教育。人數極少的自學生,相對於體制內的主流多數學生,很神秘,也常被貼標籤。小學在家自學,國中才回到體制私中的我,先跟著媽媽摸索如何自學,同時也努力對抗、掙脫標籤;接著來到夢想中的私中適應體制學習,改由爸爸陪著重定義自學標籤。這是一段我和自學標籤如何相處的故事:我和標籤在衝突後和解,現在,正努力學著與他攜手並進。自學是形式,更是能力;標籤是印記,也可以是LOGO!我希望聽者從我的故事看見:每個人都有被貼標籤的時候,但我們可以選擇讓它限制自己,或讓它成為前進的徽章。Homeschooling — officially known as applying for Individual Experimental Education — is rare. With so few of us compared to the crowds in traditional schools, homeschoolers often seem mysterious and easy to label. I was homeschooled through elementary school, then joined a private junior high later on. At first, I learned alongside my mom, figuring out how to self-study while trying hard to shake off those labels. Then, when I stepped into my dream private school, my dad helped me redefine what being “a homeschooler” could mean. This is the story of me and my label — how we fought, made peace, and now walk forward together. Homeschooling isn’t just a system, it’s a skill; a label isn’t only a stigma, it can be a badge.What I hope listeners take away is this: we all carry labels, but we can choose whether they confine us or become a badge that pushes us forward.
我是幼兒園到小六都在家自學,每週回學區小學上幾堂課,國一才開始全日學校生活與體制學習的國二生。我努力適應著,從自學轉換成上學,以前是維持自己節奏自轉,現在是有秩序地加入公轉。From kindergarten through sixth grade, I was homeschooled, attending a few classes each week at my local elementary school. It wasn’t until my first year of junior high that I began a full-time school life within the formal education system. Now, as a second-year student, I’m working hard to adapt — transitioning from self-directed learning to structured schooling. In the past, I spun on my own axis; now, I’m learning to orbit in harmony with others.
