她自己并没有正儿八经上过学,但是,当年她和另两位姐妹创办的“弄堂小学”如今已经成为上海响当当的公办小学。
她说,教好孩子没什么诀窍,就是三个爱:爱学校,爱老师,爱学生;还有七个字:教好每一个学生。
她的故事,被改编成沪剧《鸡毛飞上天》、电影《春催桃李》,激励了一代代人。她就是全国劳动模范、全国三八红旗手、上海市徐汇区建襄小学创始人之一、名誉校长吴佩芳。

吴佩芳和孩子们在一起
根据公开资料,吴佩芳系新中国成立后上海的第一所民办学校——建襄小学的创始人。这个只有小学三年级学历的家庭妇女,拿起教鞭,站上讲台,思考的是让弄堂里想读书的孩子都有书读。

1958年,吴佩芳和两个姐妹殷祖懿、江镜蓉东拼西凑,筹集了资金,在肇嘉浜路一废弃车库办起了小学,这个“弄堂学校”的首批学生来自附近弄堂76个最普通的家庭。她鼓励老师“因人而异”备课,引导学生自觉克服缺点和不足。
Despite having no formal education herself, Wu, alongside two other women, established a "lane school" in 1958 that would later evolve into the prestigious public Jianxiang Primary School. Operating initially from a converted garage on Zhaojiabang Road, the school served 76 children from ordinary families in the surrounding lanes.
Wu's educational philosophy was simple yet profound: three loves — love for the school, the teachers, and the students — and a motto: "Teach every student well". She encouraged personalized lesson planning and guided students to overcome their shortcomings.
吴佩芳艰苦办学的事迹,被改编成沪剧《鸡毛飞上天》,并被拍成电影《春催桃李》《人民教师吴佩芳》。

1978年,建襄小学和附近学校合并,转为公办学校,吴佩芳重新出任校长。退休后,吴佩芳被聘为建襄小学名誉校长。
当年的老教师回忆,学校举办了师生心灵沟通热线、老师为学生服务日等“爱生”活动,在吴校长带领下,大家每天都主动留到晚上七八点回家,总结学校每天情况,针对特殊情况群策群力想办法。
In 1978, Jianxiang Primary School became a public institution, with Wu resuming her role as principal. After retirement, she served as its honorary principal. Colleagues recalled her dedication, with staff often staying late into the evening to discuss student progress under her leadership.
1986年,吴佩芳被任命为建襄小学名誉校长,成为上海解放后任命的首批名誉校长。退休后,她常回建襄小学和师生聊天,还参加了市教育工会组织的百老德育讲师团,进学校、下社区、去农村,举办600多场专题报告,义务为30多万名师生讲学。她说,“只要有口气,就要为教育出点力”。
Even in retirement, Wu remained active in education, delivering over 600 volunteer lectures to more than 300,000 teachers and students across schools and communities. "As long as I have breath, I will contribute to education," she said.
一路走好!
