這陣子，無論彩虹職員、會員義工，以至實習學生，我們都一起成長，互相學習。透過彼此的經驗分享、就不同議題的討論，以及分工合作去籌辦活動，獲益實在不少。

我很喜歡閱 讀學生給我的功 課，即使是一篇短短的工作日誌或反思週記，因為當中為我帶來不少啟發。

昨天早上，再次到城大課堂，跟近百位年青人分享「多元性愛」，講講ＢＤＳＭ及同／雙性戀。有份旁聽並幫手攝錄的一位在彩虹中心的實習學生，在其反思日誌裡這樣寫道──

There was an opportunity to participate in the talk given by Ken and Jimmy at City University of Hong Kong in the morning.

The talk was not only shown how the Rainbow of Hong Kong educated the public, especially to the youth population because they were our future hope; but also to understand more about the needs and desires, and differences between homosexual and bisexual.

I believed it had raised the eyebrows of students in some way. However, there were two observations.

For the first one, I found that many students (nearly 40%) had used the laptops while the speaker presenting. It would be inconceivable when I was once a CityU student four years ago. The implication was that the computer screen had in some extent side-tracked some of the students, and what they perceived may have slightly different. Also, it shown the fast-developing information technology had eroded the learning attitude and their concentration.

I realized that the student was not only ignored the speaker but also isolated himself or herself from the surrounding. Nowadays people fascinated in their own worlds. Was not it a funny feature? How can one build up their own knowledge as well as interpersonal relationship? Although the society becomes wealthier and advanced, the development of human relationship has surprisingly set back.

And for the second one, I appreciated Ken’s attitude in serving others. His perseverance was exactly what I should learn from and that really encouraged me to be a good social worker. If we could be true to ourselves, we are more willing to give, and possibly live better. Again, the Rainbow of Hong Kong was a big family.

有謂香港大學生的水準每下愈況，背後的原因有待考究，當然我們不能夠一概而論。然而，現時普遍院校課堂的學習氣氛和學生上課態度真的叫人關注。

好像上月底，一連四天香港彩虹到浸大課堂作分享，其中一節，因著講師有要事在身，不得不早退，加上該課節主要是播放一套電影《神父同志》，然後請嘉賓跟學生作分享和討論。沒想到當電影開始播放，講師先行離去後不到五分鐘，就有一男一女學生收拾書包，靜悄悄地下課去！中段因著換碟（ＶＣＤ）的關係，近十位學生亦相繼提早放學。

作為嘉賓講員，同時亦身為別校的社工系副學士學生的我，在分享討論環節開始的一刻，忍不住對留下來的三份二學生訓話：「這算是甚麼學習態度？大家交了學費，不是預好了時間今天要來上課的嗎？」

下課前，我按簽到紙讀出全體學生的名字，為全程上課的學生劃上記號，後交予任教的講師並反映真實情況，希望他認真的跟進！
