Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 101: When I Wake Up

On Thursday afternoon, the last self-study class was held and the first grade students conducted a monthly exam summary. All teachers were required to attend the meeting.

The school will hold a summary meeting every time the monthly exam results are released. To put it bluntly, the meeting is to praise the classes with good results and criticize the classes with poor results. Of course, the head teacher and subject teachers are also involved.

So before the meeting, the head teacher and subject teachers of classes with poor grades looked very unhappy.

Not only will you get criticized, but it will also affect the teacher's final evaluation.

"You should be praised."

On the way to the meeting room after the third get out of class, Yang Wenwen said to Zhou Jing with a smile.

“Verbal praise means nothing.”

Zhou Jing, a rookie, did not expect to be praised in such occasions.

Most teachers do not seek to make achievements but to avoid mistakes.

"It's good for you."

Yang Wenwen said as if hinting at something.

Zhou Jing nodded to show that he understood. If the class he taught performed well in the exam, it would make it easier for Zhou Jing to become a regular employee and be recruited.

I met Gu Jia at the door of the conference room. She glanced at Zhou Jing in the crowd, a barely perceptible smile appeared on her face, and she went into the office first.

The class teachers sat in the first two rows, and the twenty class teachers sat according to their class numbers by default. Zhou Jing and Yang Wenwen sat next to each other.

"It would be better to call it a denunciation meeting rather than a summary meeting."

Class 1's head teacher, Cao Long, took the opportunity when the Dean of Academic Affairs was not around to complain.

"That's right. Teacher Cao's class should have done well in the exam, right?"

A head teacher at the back said.

"So-so."

The meeting started on time after the fourth class. The Dean of Academic Affairs made a few brief opening remarks and got to the point. He first read out the average score ranking of each class in each subject. Because physics, chemistry, biology, politics, history, and geography are elective subjects in the second year of high school, these subjects are now secondary, and the main subjects are mathematics, Chinese, and English.

Praise the first and second place winners in the experimental classes of mathematics, Chinese and English, and the top three place winners in the parallel classes.

Criticize the third and fourth place students in the experimental class and the bottom three in the parallel class.

The student in Class 1-2 of Senior High School ranked fifth in Mathematics and seventh in English, both of which are on the praise list. The student ranked tenth in Chinese is neither on the praise list nor on the criticism list.

"The average math score of Class 1.1 is less than one point higher than that of Class , and the English score of Class is points higher than that of Class . In the future, if any experimental class fails to pass the parallel class in one subject, its qualification as an experimental class will be cancelled."

Gao Huaidong's words are a spur to the experimental class and also an encouragement to the parallel class.

As the experimental class’s grades were lagging behind those of the parallel classes, the teacher wanted to find a crack in the wall to hide in.

The Dean of Academic Affairs Gao Huaidong specifically praised Zhou Jing and asked Zhou Jing to go on stage to talk about his teaching experience.

"You are too kind, Director. The difference in scores between classes is very small. Class 2 did slightly better. This may be because I am the class teacher and students are more self-disciplined in class."

Zhou Jing did not show off his skills in front of so many teachers. It would not hurt for a trainee teacher to be humble.

Gao Huaidong admired Zhou Jing for being humble despite his young age and did not let Zhou Jing speak on stage again.

Other teachers, especially the math teacher, also had a greater appreciation for Zhou Jing, thinking that the young man was a very good person.

Thursday ends and it’s Friday again, and the first-year high school students have no peace this weekend either.

During the last self-study class, Zhou Jing walked from the dormitory to the outside of the classroom and slowed down his pace, paying attention to the movements in the classroom as he walked. Zhou Jing walked through the back door of the classroom, stood outside the door, and observed the situation in the classroom.

The students near the door noticed the head teacher first. They stopped whispering and lowered their heads to do their homework seriously. Some students in the front were slacking off and when they looked back saw the head teacher, they quickly turned back.

In general, Class 2 has good discipline.

Recently, Zhou Jing has not found any students reading extracurricular books or playing with mobile phones during class time. The self-study classes are relatively quiet. When he walked over, he could clearly feel that Class 2 was quieter than Class 1 and Class 3.

"We will practice for gymnastics competitions on Saturday and Sunday."

Zhou Jing walked into the classroom and said.

"Weekend practice?"

The students looked very reluctant and did not wait for the head teacher to finish speaking.

"I don't have time during normal times, so how about practicing for an hour tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and setting a time to be at the playground at 10 a.m.?"

Zhou Jing continued.

"Okay!" The students could barely accept one hour a day.

"That's it. At 10am tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, everyone will wear school uniforms. I saw Yu Haili in our class doing the radio gymnastics pretty well. How about Yu Haili be in charge of guiding everyone?"

Zhou Jing looked at a fair-skinned girl in the fifth row and said.

"can."

The girl named Yu Haili accepted the task without any fear.

In the office, Gu Jia thought for a long time and then sent a message to the "Four Fairies" girlfriends, saying that a new colleague was pretty good, but a little young and she didn't know how to get along with him.

Zhao Minjuan: [Teacher Gu finally has someone he likes? ]

Zhang Rui: [How old is the other person]

【Twenty-three-four】

Gu Jia was embarrassed to say that she was only twenty-one years old, and even more embarrassed to say that she was his former student.

Zhao Minjuan: [Wow, sister-brother love is the most exciting. I didn’t expect that Teacher Gu would learn to be an old cow eating young grass (smirk)]

Zhang Rui: [Jia Jia is so pretty, the other party shouldn’t mind her age]

Gu Jia: [We usually get along well at work, I wonder if he minds]

Zhao Minjuan: [It’s very simple. Ask him out for dinner or a movie. As long as he doesn’t refuse, ask him out as many times as you can. If he doesn’t reject it, then he doesn’t mind.]

Zhang Rui: [What Minjuan said makes sense. Does Jiajia have any photos? Let my sister check it for you.]

Zhao Minjuan: [Yes, yes, send photos]

Gu Jia hesitated whether to post it, in case people found out that Zhou Jing was very young, but it had nothing to do with these girlfriends.

Opening Zhou Jing's photo album, Gu Jia selected a more mature photo of Zhou Jing in formal attire after work and sent it to the group.

Zhang Rui: [So young, handsome and young, Jiajia has good taste (thumbs up)]

Zhao Minjuan: [Since you are a few years older than him, Jiajia should take the initiative and not lose face. Just think of it as giving in to your younger brother.]

Zhang Rui: [Yes, he is so handsome and he is a teacher in a laboratory. He must have a high level of education. This kind of guy must be very popular. In a relationship with a three or four year age difference, Jiajia needs to bring out her mature and gentle advantages.]

Zhao Minjuan: [Jia Jia will date the handsome guy first, and when the conditions are ripe, we will meet up and you will bring him with us to create conditions for you]

Gu Jia seriously considered her best friend's suggestion and felt it made sense. Although her best friend was usually not serious, she was very concerned about her major life event.

It's easier said than done. It's much harder in reality. The actual situation between Gu Jia and Zhou Jing is too complicated. The former teacher-student relationship plus the six-year age difference, any of these two points would make them drop their jaws.

Gu Jia herself also found it outrageous.

Although she gets along well with Zhou Jing, it is entirely because of their former teacher-student relationship and current colleague relationship. Gu Jia knows nothing about Zhou Jing's emotional life. She doesn't know whether Zhou Jing has someone he likes, whether he minds the six-year age difference, whether he minds their past relationship, whether Zhou Jing's parents mind, etc. She doesn't know anything about these things.

Even if things develop according to Gu Jia's ideal, how should the wedding be held?

There are too many questions.

Gu Jia felt that she was both naive and frivolous, so how could she have such fantasies about Zhou Jing.

What is love in this world?

Gu Jia sighed and suddenly thought of a song. She took out headphones from the drawer and plugged them into the computer to listen to the song.

"You said you loved someone you shouldn't have loved, your heart was full of scars, you said you made a mistake you shouldn't have made."

Hearing someone coming in, Gu Jia turned around and saw that it was Zhou Jing. She wanted to ask Zhou Jing out for dinner but didn't know how to start the conversation.

Before, when Gu Jia and Zhou Jing went out for dinner or to the movies, it was a reunion between teacher and student after a long separation, reminiscing about the past and exchanging courtesies. After reminiscing about the past and exchanging courtesies, if they continued to get too close for no reason, it would seem ambiguous and would go beyond the scope of a normal relationship between colleagues.

【(boring)】

After hesitating for a while, Gu Jia sent a bored expression to his good disciple.

Zhou Jing: [What happened to Master? ]

Gu Jia: [I want to eat hotpot, but it’s boring to eat alone]

Zhou Jing: [Then take this good-for-nothing disciple with you]

Gu Jia's melancholy mood was amused by the boy's words.
