尊敬的老师、亲爱的同学们:大家上午好!今天,我国旗下讲话的题目是《践行志愿服务,办好文明校运》。在XX年北京奥运会和XX年南京亚青会上,有一群人,他们遍布赛场内外,甚至大街小巷;人们亲切地称他们“小红帽”、“红马甲”;他们互不相识,但有着共同的信仰:奉献、友爱、互助、进步;他们没有冠军的光环,但更值得尊重;他们就是青年志愿者。XX年,共青团中央、中国青年志愿者协会共同决定把3月5日作为“中国青年志愿者服务日”。把“志愿者”定义为:志愿贡献个人的时间、精力,在不谋求物质报酬的前提下,从事社会服务事业,为推动社会进步提供服务的人。也许“不谋求物质报酬”、“推动社会进步”这些定义听起来很大、很远,甚至让人怀疑是不是要求太高了?

尊敬的各位老师,亲爱的同学和家长们:时光浅浅,冬日漫漫,附中师生,好久不见,你们还好吗?这段时间大家辛苦了!反反复复的疫情,致使居家网课成了学习的常态,它对你的学习和生活有影响吗?说没有,绝对是假的。离开了学习的专供场所——校园,离开了窗明几净的教室,离开了朝夕陪伴的老师,离开了团结友好又卷的厉害的同伴,在家学习,说实在的,缺少了一种氛围。人们常把一个陌生的温馨的环境比喻成家,家,就是一个港湾,是一个身体和灵魂的栖息地,可是疫情硬是让我们把家变成了学校,把客厅,卧室变成了教室。没有了教室课堂的约束,没有了老师目光的紧盯和交流,你的坐姿是否端正?一节课你是否一直全神贯注?有没有边听边吃边喝的时候?有没有起床后重返被窝的现象?和同学聊过天没?作业每次都实实在在独立完成吗?一天下来除了利用手机电脑学习,刷过抖音没?听过歌曲没?玩过游戏没?但愿这些都是我们无端的猜想和假设,是我们在杞人忧天,老师们很不放心啊!一直担忧线上学习的效率和效果。
