tenth year of teaching

Chapter 52

After the optimization is over, there is still less than a week left for the start of school.

In early summer, while making preparations for the start of school, I occasionally chatted with Dabei through QQ.The time difference is five hours, and it’s often the end of the day’s work in Dabei, and it’s time to go to bed in early summer.Therefore, we don’t spend a lot of time online together. The two of us usually communicate by replying to messages.

Recently, Dabei talked about a colleague he works with, who is from Colorado, USA.My child is in elementary school. On the first day of school, the teacher gave him a big bag with a lot of miscellaneous things in it.The children introduced everything to their father on the phone, and everything was what the teacher hoped they would have or do. The father was very emotional when he mentioned it to everyone at a dinner party with colleagues.

The first grade of high school and the second grade of high school were all disrupted and rearranged, firstly because of the separation of arts and sciences, and secondly because of stratified teaching. To be fair, everything was split.In early summer, I remembered that the 9th class assigned to me was Class B, and the grades were still 16 classes, 1-5 were liberal arts classes, and Class 5 was Class A.The last 11 are science classes, and 6, 7, and 8 are A classes. Many students in Class B have poor basic skills or poor study habits, so this year will be another tough battle.

After listening to what Dabei said, she was very inspired and thought, 'What do I want the students in Class 9 to look like?What should it look like in one year? 'She recalled that on the day they returned from Maoqiu, the taxi driver who took them to the airport talked about how her daughter spoke 6 languages ​​and worked on a large ship.Zhang Jing was very stimulated and repeatedly praised his daughter as a language genius.Who would have thought that the taxi driver replied calmly: "If you stay in Mauritius for three months, your English will be excellent. After a year, your French will be great, too."

She has remembered this sentence for a long time. Chinese people learn English from elementary school to high school. After more than ten years, they are still mute in English and dare not speak or communicate.We have overlooked that language is actually a communication tool. You have to use it to master it. If you keep your head down and learn it, the more you learn, the more painful it will be.Although my trip lasted only a few days, I could understand 50% of the conversation with the driver when I picked him up at the airport, and I could understand more than 90% of it on the final day of departure. In addition to adapting to the local accent, I was able to understand everything with my eyes open. There is no mistaking the relationship between English as a communication tool, and if you learn word by word, there will be no problems with sentences, and there will be no problems with conversations.

Therefore, she thinks that the current education needs to change. It has no practical significance. What does classroom teaching just for exams bring to students?

By the same token, grades are definitely important, but can we give students something else besides grades?She thought about it for a few days, went to the supermarket and bought several large bags of odds and ends, prepared 54 paper bags, and began to prepare them by category.

In the busy opening week of school, after being bombarded with various meetings, we are back to school on the 31st.Zhang Yan walked into the school gate with his shoulders crossed, still wearing the same white sportswear.Compared with a year ago, everything seems to have remained the same, but there is something different.

This summer vacation, he went with his mother to the place where he worked before and met Lao Zhang. The three of them stayed in harmony for a few days.Everything seems to be on track, except for the father whose business failed.At this time, his mood had returned to calm. The adults carefully coaxed him to play with his smiling face. Just because of their painstaking efforts, the play had to continue.

I completed my vacation homework seriously, and in my spare time, I dug out the previous textbooks and reviewed them again.Without a girlfriend, I seem to have a lot more time.He was not completely abandoned. His progress in learning allowed him to find confidence, and at the same time he wanted to see the surprise and appreciation in the eyes of the person who supported him.

Before the vacation, he begged his mother to ask someone to take care of the classes, and made it clear that he would only go to the class in early summer.Wang Shaohua thought that only Teacher Chu could control her son's temper. The progress in the first semester of high school also made her believe in Teacher Chu.So it was another round of trouble to help my son get the class.

He followed the crowd into the teaching building. Class 9, Grade 12, was in the first room on the east side of the stairs on the third floor of the teaching building.The room was full of people, and Li Hai, the lingering ghost, was still in the same class as him.Six people from the old 6 came over, but Sun Xiaolei was not there, so he was somewhat relieved.I randomly found a seat and sat down, chatting about the holidays with Li Hai and others.

In early summer, I carried a big box with 54 paper bags inside. There were not many things in the paper bags, but it was still a bit difficult to move more than 50 items together.She moved into the class with a squeak, and the students in the room stopped what they were doing and looked at her curiously.

"Find a seat and sit down first, classmates."

Class 9 is a science class B. Among the 54 students, 32 are boys, accounting for the majority.Chu Xia frowned as she watched the commotion in the audience, the noisy buzzing of people looking for seats, the jingling of tables and chairs being moved, and the muttered curses of accidental collisions.

After finally calming down, Chu Xia turned around and wrote her name on the blackboard.

"Everyone, I first met in Xia Tian. I am Chu Xia. We will work hard together this year." She suppressed her dissatisfaction, took a deep breath, and said with a smile.

"On the first day of school, I prepared a gift for everyone." Chu Xia said as she distributed the paper bags in the box to the students one by one.

Zhang Yan opened the paper bag and couldn't laugh or cry when he saw the miscellaneous things inside. He thought to himself: "Is this to coax the children to play?" I thought of the soft "chuff" laughter around me. It seemed that everyone had the same idea.He pouted, shook the paper bag again, and a piece of green letter paper fell out, which he opened curiously.

'I welcome you all to Class 9, Grade [-], in early summer. First of all, I would like to congratulate you all on your successful promotion to Grade [-].The items in the paper bag may be weird, but each item has its own meaning. During this year, I hope everyone will look at these items more often and think about the meaning they represent.

1. Pen: Write down your goals for high school. It can be a three-year overall goal, or it can be broken down into small goals for each day;
2. Eraser: You have to remember that everyone makes mistkes and it is OK. Including yourself;
3. Rubber band: You have to keep it elastic, so you can complete everything well;

7. Cotton swab: Our Class 9 should be a class full of kind words and warm friendship;

10. Red silk rope: remember that we (including you, us, me and you) are not antagonistic, connect each other with friendship, and the hearts of Class 9 are together, and we will achieve more achievements this year;
11. One dollar coin: to remind you that you are valuable and special. Each of us has his own meaning of existence and value that is different from others;
12.emil address: When you need to talk, I am here. We can talk in person or by word of mouth, whatever you wish.

Remember: Class 9 is a strong backing for each of us. We rely on each other, support each other, and are relatives to each other.

Zhang Yan closed the letter, how many more new touches would this person bring to him?
