Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 127 Accident of Changing Light Bulb
Zhou Jing brought several boxes of persimmon cakes from Tangdu, and Gu Jia's were definitely indispensable. As for my cousin, Yang Wenwen visited Class 1 and 2 of Senior High School on Friday afternoon and last night, so it was neither reasonable nor necessary to miss out.

Zhou Jing brought four boxes to school, and gave two boxes to Yang Wenwen who had just arrived at the office.
"Did you sleep on the train?"

Yang Wenwen took the persimmon cake and said.

"I bought a seat ticket, but since there was no lower berth available in the sleeper berth, I would rather buy a seat ticket and slept on the table for three or four hours."

Zhou Jing bought an upper berth in a sleeper berth once and never wanted to buy one again. It was more painful than a hard seat.

"The upper bunk is indeed very troublesome. Are you sleepy?"

Yang Wenwen took out her own wind oil from the desk drawer and gave it to the boy.

"It's okay. It's okay to stay up all night when you're young."

Zhou Jing took the medicated oil and rubbed it on his temples.

Yang Wenwen opened a box of persimmon cakes, took out one and tasted it, saying, "The students in your class are very self-disciplined. They are quiet in their self-study classes even when you are not at school, just like when you are here."

"It is mainly the squad leader who is responsible."

Even the most self-disciplined class will always have undisciplined students. When the head teacher is not around, it is particularly important whether the class monitor has a sense of responsibility. Zhou Jing selected two class monitors, one male and one female, from Class 1 and 2 who are very responsible, especially the deputy class monitor Tao Jia. Tao Jia has the strongest desire to perform in the class. Some students may not like this, but leaders like such subordinates the most.

Which leader doesn't like subordinates who are motivated and responsible?

After 6:40, Zhou Jing and Yang Wenwen left the office and went to the classroom to take a look.

"Long time no see, Teacher Zhou."

The students from Class 2 who came to the classroom greeted warmly.

"It's only been two days."

"I miss Teacher Zhou every day."

"Is it like a year for me?"

"No way."

"Did Mr. Zhou go to see his girlfriend?"

"No, I'm going to treat the instructor to a meal."

"Stop chatting and take a few minutes to look at the words."

After saying a few words, Zhou Jing went to the playground first.

After running morning exercises, Zhou Jing returned to the office and saw Gu Jia. He greeted her and said, "Master, why did you come so early today?"

"Maybe it's because I went to bed early because of running at night recently, so I got up early in the morning."

Gu Jia's daily routine has become much more regular during this period.

"I brought two boxes of persimmon cakes. I wonder if Master likes them."

There was no one else in the office, so Zhou Jing gave two boxes of persimmon cakes to Gu Jia.

"I like it. My disciple has become more and more filial. I went to Tangdu to play for a while this summer vacation."

Gu Jia didn't hesitate and accepted it happily, opening it to taste it first.

"Where did Master go during the summer vacation?"

The morning meeting time was approaching, so the master and the apprentice went to the administrative building together.

"Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Tang Paradise, actually, the more places I've been to, the more I feel like they're all the same, no different from being at home. I used to like going out on weekends or holidays, but now I prefer staying at home."

Gu Jia has traveled all over the country and has also been to South Korea, Thailand, Singapore and other countries.

"Staying home is more cost-effective. I also liked going out when I was in college, and I don't like traveling now."

During the two days in Tangdu, Zhou Jing had piled up a lot of work, including homework and wrong question notes for two classes, and a summary of the class work for the second monthly exam. Because the math scores of Class 1 and 2 of High School were so excellent that they surpassed an experimental class, the Academic Affairs Office asked Zhou Jing to write a report on sharing his math teaching experience, etc.

There was no class in the second period, so Zhou Jing first corrected the homework of two classes. The third period was math class for his own class.

"The second monthly exam has become a thing of the past. I hope you will not be proud or complacent. Excellence needs to be maintained. If it cannot be maintained, the short-lived success will be meaningless. At every stage, you must learn to forget the glory of the past and recognize your own shortcomings. Most of you have obvious shortcomings."

After briefly summarizing the second monthly exam, Zhou Jing began to talk about the new course content.

There was no math class in the fourth period, so Zhou Jing wrote a report sharing his teaching experience.

Zhou Jing didn't intend to take it seriously. Teaching experience is not that simple. Everyone has their own characteristics. As for results, the most important thing is the teacher's own hard power. If the hard power is not enough, all teaching experience is nonsense. The teacher must be proficient in knowledge and have a thorough understanding of it before he can explain it clearly to students.

Zhou Jing definitely could not write these insights in his experience sharing report.

Therefore, there is no big difference between the teaching experience sharing report written by Zhou Jing and that written by other teachers. The key points are as follows. First of all, the teaching attitude should be serious and responsible, answering all questions from students, being good at discovering students' problems, and strictly requiring students, etc. Secondly, the teaching method should be good at mobilizing the students' atmosphere.
It seems to be full of useful information, but in fact it is all nonsense literature and is not helpful at all to colleagues in improving their teaching level.

Because the common premise of these so-called experiences is that the teacher has solid ability.

All the teachers know this, but they won’t explain it.

Actually, there is no point in saying it.

Young teachers may have room for improvement in their hard skills, but the strength of teachers who have been teaching for many years is basically fixed, especially teachers of mathematics, physics and chemistry. The degree of mastery of the basic knowledge points determines the lower limit of the teaching level, and IQ determines the upper limit of the teaching level. Old teachers are very familiar with the basic knowledge, but when they apply it to the questions in a different way, they may get confused. This is why some teachers are stumped by students' questions.

"Well written."

Yang Wenwen passed by Zhou Jing, bent down to look at the boy's experience and shared it.

"But it's all bullshit, isn't it?"

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

"Experience is based on strength, but you can't write it like that, do you understand what I mean?"

Yang Wenwen smiled and shook her head, told Zhou Jing the truth, and reminded the boy not to write too realistically as it would offend his colleagues.

"I understand. Some things are better left unsaid if you know them in your heart, right?"

Zhou Jing nodded and said to Yang Wenwen with a smile.

Yang Wenwen nodded, thinking that the boy was not only mature and steady, but also clear-headed and would not be proud of having achieved some results.

Zhou Jing spent nearly an entire class period typing out a draft of his teaching experience sharing report on the computer. It was less than 2,000 words, and he had to hand-copy it in the afternoon. Hand-copying was troublesome, and if he made a mistake in writing a word, he had to re-copy it.

After taking a long train last night, Zhou Jing went to the school dormitory for lunch. When class was about to start, he woke up, washed his face, walked around the classroom, and went to the office to continue working. After finishing the accumulated work in two classes, he returned to the dormitory to write a novel. Today is Singles' Day. I don't know when Zhou Jing started to like this holiday. Maybe he can toast himself in the name of the holiday.

The evening self-study class was math tutoring for Class 1 of Grade 1. Zhou Jing was a little sleepy, so he went through some exercises in the first class and let the students read on their own in the second class.

Su Xiaoxue from the school radio station has not contacted Zhou Jing in the past two days. It should be that Zhou Jing has not taken the initiative and she has given up.

[You must be tired after working all night, are you in the classroom?]

Chen Jiaqian sent a message to Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing: [I am not as tired as working a full night with you for two hours]

Chen Jiaqian:
【(beat)】

Is it that exaggerated?

Zhou Jing: [You don’t understand boys. Haven’t you heard the saying, there are no fields that are ruined by plowing, only cows that are worked to death]

Chen Jiaqian: [(shy) I'm going to take a break during the third evening study session and go back to rest early]

【.】

After class the next night, Zhou Jing went to the office. Gu Jia took advantage of the fact that no one else was in the office to give Zhou Jing the scarf she bought at the weekend.

"Thank you, Master."

Sometimes Zhou Jing didn't have a scarf, but sometimes he had one after another. Yesterday, Chen Jiaqian bought him one. Scarves are special gifts, usually given only by girlfriends. Gu Jia definitely didn't think so, and Zhou Jing didn't think about it that way either. Although he liked Gu Jia very much, he definitely couldn't meet Gu Jia, which was different from Yang Wenwen.

"Just run with me more often in the future."

Gu Jia resisted the urge to touch the boy's head and tried to restrain herself in the office, as it would not be good if her colleagues or students saw her.

Knowing that Zhou Jing had been busy and tired these two days, Gu Jia did not go to the college to run in the evening. On the third night, she planned to run a few laps on the playground of Experimental Middle School and stay in the school dormitory at night.

Yang Wenwen told Zhou Jing that if he had nothing to do, he could go back home and rest early on Saturday and Sunday. Actually, Zhou Jing was not too tired. He rested well on Saturday and Sunday, but he lay in bed all day yesterday.

The most important thing is that the reborn Zhou Jing is full of energy. At night, he and Chen Jiaqian tormented Chen Jiaqian like a pile of mud, but Zhou Jing still stood firm.

On the third night, Zhou Jing went to the classroom to check on the students' self-study. It was cold, and all the students who attended on the third night were boarders.

Zhou Jing stopped in front of Feng Yuhua and watched the girl do physics problems.

Thanks to the promotion of Feng Yuhua's father, Zhou Jing's father has been doing well in the past six months. This is the way of the world.

Feng Yuhua's grades are very good, and her total score is consistently in the top five in the class. The most valuable thing is that she is good at both English and mathematics. Her scores in both mathematics and English monthly exams were above 135. She has great advantages in both liberal arts and science, and she has a very down-to-earth personality. Regardless of whether the school requires her to wear a school uniform or not, she always wears a school uniform.

"You are the most optimistic person in the class."

Zhou Jing walked up to the sunny boy Liu Teng and flipped through his information.

"Teacher Zhou, I am actually very depressed."

The young man sighed.

"Continue to install."

Liu Teng’s desk mate couldn’t stand it anymore.

"It's good to be optimistic, but you should focus more on studying."

Zhou Jing put down the boy's book and went out through the back door to return to the dormitory to find something. When he passed the playground, he saw a figure running in the night and recognized it as Gu Jia at a glance. Zhou Jing did not disturb her and walked past the playground.

After the evening self-study get out of class, Zhou Jing went home and rested early.

The next day, Tuesday, at noon Zhou Jing went to No. 10 Middle School and gave two boxes of persimmon cakes to his cousin.

"Brother, is this your first time at our school? How do you feel?"

Wu Yuan excitedly took Zhou Jing around the campus.

"I came here in 04. At that time, it was still Yushi Middle School. This school has a very three-dimensional feel."

Zhou Jing came to the city to study in high school in 03. How could he not have been to the best high school in the city at that time?

"Okay! The second monthly exam was a bit difficult. I scored 130 in math."

Wu Yuan gave the math test paper to her cousin.

"Yes, everything is right."

Zhou Jing took a rough look and found that his cousin was good at math and English, so she would have no problem getting into a top university.

Without staying long at his cousin’s school, Zhou Jing walked around the campus and returned to Experimental Middle School.

At night, the light in Yang Wenwen's dormitory broke and she couldn't reach to change the bulb, so she asked Zhou Jing to help change it when he was free. Zhou Jing was writing a novel in the dormitory and went over when he received Yang Wenwen's call.

Before changing the light bulb, Yang Wenwen turned off the power in the dormitory, and the light in the dormitory was very dim using the flashlight from her mobile phone.

"be careful."

Yang Wenwen placed the three-legged round stool beside the bed and said while holding it.

"There's waste paper on the stool."

Zhou Jing first put the new light bulb in his pocket.

"It's okay, just wipe it off when you're done."

Yang Wenwen held the stool with one hand and used the flashlight from her mobile phone to illuminate the roof with the other hand.

Zhou Jing stepped on the stool and stood on it, feeling that the stool seemed a little overwhelmed.

Zhou Jing unscrewed the old light bulb and gave it to Yang Wenwen, then took out a new one from his pocket and replaced it. Just as he was about to get down, one of the legs of the stool broke when he raised his right foot.

"Ah, be careful."

Yang Wenwen was shocked and went to help the boy immediately.

Worried about stepping on Yang Wenwen, Zhou Jing swayed in the air, and ended up falling on the bed with Yang Wenwen.
