在“小天鹅”学校，师生用餐有一个特殊的规定，学生首先打饭，然后是老师，最后是校长燕兆时。

in"cygnet"The school,The teachers and students have dinner there is a special rules,The students first dozen rice,Then the teacher,The last is the headmaster when YanZhao.

　　两年前，命运让燕兆时做了一次艰难的选择。为了让200多名孩子不至于失学，他辞去航天工程师之职，成了一所濒临解散的打工子弟学校校长。他说：“我不希望打工子弟学校只是重复地制造农民工二代，我要让他们相信，他们都是小天鹅！”

Two years ago,When fate let YanZhao made a difficult choice.In order to let more than 200 children not to drop out of school,He resigned from office space engineers,Become a on the verge of dissolution of the school for children of the principal.He said:"I don't want to school for children of migrant workers is repeated in the second generation,I want to believe,They are little swan!"

　　别无选择的“燕校长” No choice but to"Yan the principal"

　　今年43岁的燕兆时是北京人，毕业于北航自控系。两年前，他还是个收入不菲的工程师，闲暇时常去一所公益学校支教。那时，燕兆时经常听校长说学校经营下去太困难，不想干了。但他以为校长只是说说，没有当真。

This year YanZhao 43, is from Beijing,Graduated from northing automatic control system.Two years ago,He was a lucrative engineers,Leisure often go to a public school education.then,When YanZhao often listen to the headmaster that school management down too difficult,Don't want to do.But he thought the headmaster just about,Not really.

　　直到2010年7月下旬的一天，燕兆时看到学校里停着一辆货车，工人正在把校长的物品装车，校长真要走了。摆在燕兆时面前的只有两条路：要么看着这些学生散了，要么就把学校接下来。来不及做详细的计划和考虑，只用了一分钟，燕兆时当即决定和朋友接手这所学校。“这时候，你没得选。”他说。

Until July 2010 a day late,When YanZhao see school were parked in a van,Workers are the principal goods loading,The headmaster really have to go.In YanZhao before when only two roads:Or look at these students spread,Or the school the next.Without enough time to do the detailed plan and consideration,Only for a minute,When YanZhao immediately decided to and friends took over the school."At this time,You don't have to choose."He said.

　　关于理想的不同答案 About the ideal a different answer

　　办学校没有想象中简单，由于当时的校舍面临拆迁，燕兆时四处奔走找校址，他将昌平区回龙观镇定福黄庄村附近的一个大仓库改成8间房子，分别用作厨房、教室和办公室，孩子们终于有了落脚点。

Do schools did not imagine the simple,Due to the schoolhouse slated for demolition,When YanZhao running around looking for school,He will HuangZhuang huilongguan calm blessing changping district near the village of a large warehouse into 8 house,Which are used for kitchen/The classroom and office,The children finally have a foothold.

　　给孩子们上课时，燕兆时渐渐发现一个问题，当他问起一年级的孩子“长大以后的理想是什么”，很多孩子会说想当科学家、艺术家、舞蹈家。可是拿同样的问题去问五年级的孩子，他们的答案却是“啤酒推销员”、“保镖”和“清洁工”。

For the children of class,When YanZhao gradually found a problem,When he asked about a grade children"Grow up what is the ideal",Many children would say wants to be a scientist/artists/dancer.But with the same question to ask five grade children,Their answer is"Beer salesman"/"bodyguards"and"cleaner".

　　这样的回答让燕兆时很心酸，“他们和城市里的孩子原本没有不同，但是由于环境的问题，他们不敢想。”燕兆时说。从那以后，燕兆时将学校更名为北京燕京小天鹅公益学校。他说：“我要让他们相信，他们都是小天鹅！”

Such answer let YanZhao very feel sad,"They and the children in the city was no different,But because of environmental problems,They dare not want to."Said YanZhao.From then on,YanZhao when the school was renamed Beijing yanjing cygnet public school.He said:"I want to believe,They are little swan!"

　　自掏腰包维持学校运转 Maintain the school running their own money

　　去年冬天，在学校门口的围栏旁，一名妇女牵着两个孩子的手守在门口。大门还没推开，这名妇女就小声嘀咕着说：“只有300块钱了，俩孩子能在这里上学吗？”

Last winter,At the school gate at the fence,A woman holding two children hand keep in the doorway.The gate haven't push,This woman is muttered in a low voice said:"Only 300 dollars,Two children can go to school here?"

　　“进来吧，先让孩子去上课。”燕兆时二话没说，接收了这两个孩子。

"Come in,Let the child go to class."When YanZhao said nothing,Received the two children.

　　学校的收费标准其实不高，每个学生一个学期的学费、书本费和伙食费加起来只有850元，30多名住校学生也按此标准收费。即便这样，交不起钱的学生还是大有人在。目前全校360多名学生中，就有60名交不起学费的困难生。

School fee standard actually is not high,Each student the tuition of a semester/Textbook and board expenses added up to only 850 yuan,More than 30 name in residence students according to the standard rate.Even if such,Can not afford to pay the money they student or.At present the school more than 360 students,There is 60 KunNanSheng can not afford to pay tuition.

　　困难学生越多，要维持学校的运转就越不易。接手学校的第一年，燕兆时就自掏腰包倒贴了17万余元。

Difficult the more students,To maintain the school running is not easy.Take the first year of school,When DaoTie YanZhao own more than 170000 yuan.

　　对于燕兆时的选择，妻子一开始很反对，经过一段时间“冷战”，眼看无法改变丈夫的决定，也只好听之任之。

For when YanZhao choice,His wife is a start against,After a period of time"The cold war",See can't change her husband's decision,Also had to leave it as it is.

　　校长怕饭不够最后吃 The headmaster afraid of rice to eat enough finally

　　作为一校之长，对于学生们的衣食住行，燕兆时得事事操持。孩子们在学校吃饭，“燕校长”定了个特别的规矩：打饭时孩子们先打，然后是老师，最后是校长。问起个中原因，燕兆时说：“如果我能吃上饭，就说明今天的饭做够了。如果我没吃上饭，就说明饭没做够。让老师和孩子们一同吃饭，是希望老师能更用心做饭，否则老师都不爱吃，孩子们肯定也吃不好。”

As a school long,For students' basic necessities,When YanZhao to manage everything.The children eat in school,"Yan the principal"Fixed a special rules:Play lunch children to play,Then the teacher,The last is the headmaster.Asked the reason,Said YanZhao:"If I can eat rice,Means that today's rice do enough.If I didn't eat rice,That didn't do enough rice.Let the teacher and the children to eat together,Is hope the teacher can cook more attentively,Otherwise teachers do not love to eat,The children must also eat bad."

　　今年8月29日，燕兆时在自己的微博上发帖，向爱心人士征集单面用过的废纸，为孩子们做试卷用纸。“现在学校的每一笔开销都特别紧，每分钱都得用在刀刃上。”他说。

August 29,,When YanZhao in his own micro blog post,People love to collect single used waste paper,For the children to do test paper."Now the school each expense are particularly tight,Every penny had to be on the cutting edge."He said.

　　“这样做你图什么？明明快要倒闭的学校，每年都亏损，何必经营下去？”不少人不解。

"Do you figure?Clearly is about to go out of business school,Losses every year,Why management on?"Many people don't understand.

　　“人的一生就那么短短几十年，我想等我老了的时候，我肯定不会想，我还剩下多少存款，我少工作了多少年。而是想着，这辈子我最遗憾的是什么。我不想有遗憾。”燕兆时说。

"Life is so only lasts for a few decades,I want to wait for me when old,I'm sure I don't want to,I still leave how much savings,I work for less how many years.But thinking of,In this life I most regret.I don't want to have regret."Said YanZhao.

　　教师和资金不足是办学最大难题 The teacher and the fund shortage is the biggest problem

　　京华时报：现在回想起来，当时接手这么一所已经亏损的公益学校是不是有些准备不足？

Jinghua times:In retrospect,When take over such a has been operating at a loss of public schools are some to inadequate preparation?

　　燕兆时：那个时候由不得你去想接还是不接，只能死扛着。其实当时我和朋友已经做了评估，接手这个学校肯定是要赔钱，而且不知道能坚持到哪天。但我们不接就意味着200多个孩子没学上，并且也许一辈子都没学上了。

When YanZhao:At that time you can not control to want to take or not to accept,Death only carrying.Actually at that time I and friends have done evaluation,To take over the school is bound to lose money,And do not know can insist to which day.But we don't pick up means that more than 200 children don't learn to go up,And maybe the lifetime have never learn the.

　　京华时报：现在最大的困难是什么？燕兆时：教师不够，资金不足。小天鹅学校要想经营下去，需要一批怀揣理想和激情的年轻人。

Jinghua times:Now the biggest difficulty is what?When YanZhao:The teacher is not enough,Insufficient funds.Little swan school to business down,Need a batch of carries ideal and passion of the young man.

　　京华时报：坚持下去的动力是什么？燕兆时：打工子弟学校的这些孩子，和大城市的孩子原本是没有区别的，但就因为他们处在社会最底层，教育的缺失导致他们不敢想，他们不敢想自己会变得多优秀。所以我把这个学校命名为“小天鹅”，就是希望他们像安徒生童话故事里的丑小鸭一样，只要他们相信自己是白天鹅，他们就一定是白天鹅！

Jinghua times:Hold on power is what?When YanZhao:School for children of these children,And the big child was no different,But just because they are in social bottom,The lack of education leads to they dare not want to,They dare not think he would become more outstanding.So I put this school named"cygnet",Is hope they like Anderson fairy tale story like the ugly duckling,As long as they believe in yourself is a white swan,They must be white swan!

　　京华时报：坚持的过程中，是不是也收获过很多感动？

Jinghua times:Adhere to the process,If you also gain a lot of touched?

　　燕兆时：如果不在这里，你真的很难想象这里发生的事情，每一天都上演着感动。前些日子，一个研究航天载人技术的朋友来我这里助教，我发现他每个周末来上课，中午都不在我这里吃饭，当时还以为他是觉得这里的饭菜做得不好。后来才知道他是怕妻子不支持，每次来我这里都是瞒着妻子，撒谎说自己去加班，然后中午按时回家吃饭。又过了两周，我在学校碰见他，发现他没有上课。我问他怎么没去上课，他说教室里正在替他上课的那个女人，是他妻子。

When YanZhao:If he is not here,You really it is hard to imagine what happened here,Every day is moved.The other day,A study of the manned space technology friend come to my here assistants,I found him every weekend to class,At noon I are not here to eat,At that time thought he was think food here to do well.Afterwards just know that he is afraid of his wife does not support,Every time I come I here is all from his wife,Lied yourself to work overtime,At noon and then go home to have a meal on time.Another two weeks,I met him at school,The class did not find him.I asked him how he didn't go to school,He said the classroom is the woman for his classes,Is his wife.
