在学校，有人把学习差、纪律差的学生称为“差生”或“后进生”。笔者认为这两种提法不妥。“差生”或“后进生”的称谓挫伤了学生的自尊心和自信心，有等级观念，含有歧视之意。因此，笔者提出“需要帮助的学生”（简称“需助生”）的概念，这一概念坚持了民主性、平等性和学 In schools, some students who study poorly and have poor discipline are called “bad students” or “late students.” The author believes that these two formulations are wrong. The term “bad students” or “late students” has hurt the students’ self-esteem and self-confidence, has a hierarchical concept, and contains the meaning of discrimination. Therefore, the author proposes the concept of “needs for help” (abbreviated as “need to help students”), a concept that upholds democracy, equality, and learning.
