Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 15: One Lesson to Dispel Students' Doubts

"Welcome, Teacher Zhou."

The class monitor led the applause, and chaotic applause broke out in the classroom.

As expected, it was obvious from their applause that they were not very satisfied.

"Wow, so handsome!"

"And he looks so young, only a few years older than us, right?"

"For those from the class of 06, they will only be seniors next semester, so they should be around or years old."

"There are students in our class who are twenty years old. We are almost the same age."

"I won't fall asleep in math class with a handsome guy like this, but it's a pity that he only teaches for a few days."

"anthomaniac."

"Go away. Don't you boys stare at the biology teacher every day?"

There are also girls who judge people by their appearance, which causes boys to look down on them.

"Bai Panpan, he is from the same hometown as us, and he graduated from Qingshan Middle School. His father is Zhou Guozhong, who taught mathematics to our class for one year in the first grade of junior high school."

"Is this true? My math teacher in the second and third year of junior high school was Zhou Guozhong."

"Really? I ran into him and Teacher Zhou at the entrance of Hongxiang last summer vacation."

"Ok."

Two students from Qing County were whispering to each other. It was so strange that they ran into their junior high school teacher's son in class at high school.

"Then I'll leave it to Xiao Zhou."

After explaining the class affairs, Hu Hongdan said.

"Okay, Mr. Hu will be busy first."

Zhou Jing nodded and walked up to the podium, placing the book and water cup on the desk.

"stand up."

"Hello teacher."

As the monitor shouted "Stand up", some students behaved very properly, but some stood up hunched over and shouted incoherently, as if they had not eaten for two days.

"Hello, students. Please take a seat." Zhou Jing looked at the whole class and said with a smile, "You don't welcome me?"

"No, welcome, Teacher Zhou."

“Very welcome.”

Some girls and Zhou Jing's fellow villagers were very enthusiastic, but some students were sarcastic.

"Whether you like it or not, I have to teach you."

"I understand that you have emotions, but there is nothing we can do about it since Teacher Wang has a miscarriage and needs to take care of the baby."

"The senior students are tired, and so are the teachers. No teacher is willing to take over the senior year classes, especially the older teachers. Teaching senior year classes for two consecutive years is extremely tiring. Teacher Zhang Guifang just finished teaching the graduating class this year and needs to rest for a while. I am just temporarily filling in for a few days."

"As students who are already adults or about to become adults, we are no longer children. We should wish Teacher Wang peace of mind and safety for the mother and child, actively cooperate with the successor teacher to adapt to the new teacher's teaching methods as soon as possible, and not act emotionally in class."

"The time in the third year of high school is very precious. If your dissatisfaction with your teacher affects your studies, it will be your loss."

"Anyway, put aside your distrust of me for now. Let's discuss whether I am qualified to teach you after you finish the class."

Zhou Jing will not swallow his anger when he is temporarily teaching for a few days. Since these young people are ignorant, he will teach them a lesson first. However, he should try to be gentle in tone and wording. School is a place to educate students, not a place to reform them.

"stand up."

The monitor was sensible enough and asked everyone to stand up again.

"Hello teacher."

This time the students were much more obedient. They spoke in unison and very loudly. I guess the classes above, below, and around them were talking about something weird.

"Hello, students. Please take a seat. My last name is Zhou. You can call me Teacher Zhou."

Zhou Jing pressed his hands and said.

"Did Teacher Wang talk about the review plan for senior high school students before the summer vacation?"

"Yes, we have to go through the textbook first. It takes about two months to go through the textbook."

"Okay, I won't repeat myself. Time is precious. Let's go straight to the review." "Compulsory course 1 has two major concepts. The first is sets, and the second is the basics of functions."

"Sets may seem simple, but they run through the entire mathematics system of high school. They are used everywhere. The first easy-to-scoring question in the college entrance examination is definitely about sets. Although it is an easy-to-scoring question, I guarantee that there will be people who make mistakes in every exam, including students who are good at studying. The reason is nothing more than carelessness and unclear concepts."

"So don't ignore a certain knowledge point just because it's simple."

"Practice makes perfect. Only when you have mastered the basic knowledge points to a certain degree can you apply what you have learned to other situations. Everyone's learning methods may be different, but the basics are the same. No matter which learning method you use, you must first master the basics if you want to make progress."

“If you want to build a five-story building, you must first build a foundation that can support five floors. If you want to build a ten-story building, you must first build a foundation that can support ten floors. Otherwise, it will be a waste of money. Even if you build a toilet, if you don’t lay a good foundation, you will be buried in it sooner or later.”

"puff!"

"It's too tragic to be buried there."

"Many people have been buried in the shoddy construction."

The students started discussing with each other.

"Don't laugh. It's the same with studying. How much higher your scores can be in the second and third rounds of review depends mainly on how well you have mastered the basics in the first round of review. Do you understand?"

Zhou Jing stood on the podium and spoke eloquently. It would be a pity if he didn't give a speech as a chicken soup guru.

"clear."

Some students began to admire the young and handsome teacher on the podium. Although other teachers had also emphasized these principles, this teacher's words were both vivid and humorous, and the students would not feel annoyed at all because of hearing too many principles.

"Okay, let's review what a collection is."

The atmosphere became lively and Zhou Jing began to lecture.

“Something definite and different”

“What is the object of general research called?”

Zhou Jing took a piece of chalk, turned around and wrote on the blackboard while asking questions. He quickly drew a large circle with a diameter close to the width of the blackboard, marked it U, and then drew two intersecting small circles inside it, marked A and B respectively, and drew circle D inside A. He explained the classification and various relationships of sets through mind mapping.

"Wow, Teacher Zhou must have been a compass in his previous life!"

"so amazing."

If they hadn't seen the circle Zhou Jing drew with his own hands with their own eyes, they would have thought it was drawn with a compass.

"It's only when you practice."

Zhou Jing didn't even use his finger as the center of the circle to help trace the picture like other teachers did. He completed the task in one go and his writing on the blackboard was impeccable.

“It’s very clear and logical.”

"I have the ability to begin with. In the 06 college entrance examination, I scored 145 in mathematics, which is really impressive. My second brother took the college entrance examination in 06. Mathematics is very difficult."

In less than half a class, Zhou Jing dispelled the students' doubts about him. Except for a few poor students who were in a daze or absent-minded, all other students listened attentively. It only takes a few minutes for a good teacher to conquer students.

As the pleasant bell rang on the radio, the first class ended unknowingly.

"Students on duty, please don't wipe the blackboard yet. Let's continue the lesson in the next class. Let's move around."

Zhou Jing did not stay in class. He picked up his water cup and went to the teachers' lounge on the second floor.

As Zhou Jing left, the classroom began to buzz with discussion.

"Gao Fei and Li Yutao, why are you making such a fuss in class? He is under great pressure to substitute for us in his first class as a teacher, but you don't even give him face."

The monitor rebuked the students who had just made trouble in class.

"That's right, luckily this teacher has a good attitude, otherwise how could he get off the stage?"

"To be honest, this teacher Zhou looks young and his lectures are really good, no worse than other teachers."

"Even if the person's level is limited, who is the substitute teacher is arranged by the school. What's the point of making things difficult for the substitute teacher? If the teacher's generous words are not taken to heart, and the ungenerous ones are deliberately perfunctory, aren't we the ones who suffer?"

"Too childish."

Other students also criticized Gao Fei, Li Yutao and others who had made trouble before class, making them feel ashamed.

"How about this teacher who teaches us math?"

Students from the next door Class 5 came over to inquire, and the senior class was very concerned about their substitute teacher.

"no problem."

“What a beautiful blackboard book.”
