Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 44 I’m embarrassed to say it
"My last name is Zhou"

"Hello, Teacher Zhou."

As soon as Zhou Jing started speaking, some students, both boys and girls, welcomed him again. They were generally very enthusiastic.

"Everyone is happy, that's the real happiness,"

"Guangzhou Haodi."

The students even competed with Zhou Jing in the advertising slogan.

"With Teacher Zhou teaching math, my mom doesn't have to worry about my studies anymore."

A lively and cheerful girl joked.

"Really? If you don't do well on your math test, don't say it's my fault. What's your name?"

Zhou Jing looked at the tall and thin girl and said.

"Teacher Zhou, please don't. My math foundation is very poor."

The girl felt guilty because she only scored over 80 in math in the high school entrance examination.

"The teacher's name is Qu Siyu."

"Alright, be quiet. The class hasn't started yet. Everyone, please read it first and preview the content of the next class. Preview is very important to learn math well."

Teaching the first year of high school is much easier than teaching the third year. Zhou Jing has no pressure facing the first year students who are fourteen or fifteen years old. The main advantage is age. The third year students are eighteen or nineteen or even twenty years old. A twenty-one-year-old teacher is a little too young.

Since it is not his own class, Zhou Jing does not emphasize too many big principles to students. It is a waste of time no matter how much he talks if students cannot listen. The most important thing in learning is self-awareness. At the age of fourteen or fifteen, you should understand everything you should and should not understand.

"Have you chosen the class representative?"

Zhou Jing didn't try to get to know other students in the class, it was enough for him to get to know the class representative.

“I’m the math class representative.”

A girl raised her hand.

"What is your name?"

"Li Fenfen."

"My office is at 107, the third desk in the middle after the entrance."

Zhou Jing nodded and walked and looked in the classroom corridor.

"Mr. Zhou, I graduated from Qingshan Middle School in Qing County, and my junior high school math teacher was Mr. Zhou."

A fair-skinned boy waited for Zhou Jing to come to his side and said.

He was in the same class as Feng Yuhua from Class 1-2 in junior high school.

"Is your name Bai Zhuangzhuang?"

Zhou Jing had some impression of the young man; he had seen him in a graduation photo in his father's office.

"Yes."

The boy nodded and said.

"You can contact me if you have any problems in life or study in the future. My phone is at the podium."

Fellow villager Zhou Jing should take care of this. Qing County is a poor county and it is not easy for students to pass the exam and go to school.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhou."

Bai Zhuangzhuang said respectfully.

"You guys from the same hometown?"

After Zhou Jing walked away, the person next to Bai Zhuangzhuang asked in a low voice.

"His father was my junior high school math teacher."

"Well, you two are destined to be together."

The other students were quite envious, because since the teacher was from the same hometown, he would definitely be taken care of.

"After you have prepared for math, you can study other subjects. Don't read books that are not related to your studies."

It is also boring for teachers to stay in the classroom without teaching, and they are not allowed to play with their mobile phones in front of students.

"Mr. Zhou, which math supplementary book is better?"

The boy who asked the question is obviously a good student. He has clear ideas and pays attention to methods and approaches in his studies.

Zhou Jing paused beside him and said, "Backgammon and innovative design are both good. I recommend innovative design when you first start learning the basics. After you have a good grasp of the basics, you can use backgammon to strengthen them."

"Well, thank you, Teacher Zhou."

The boy nodded and said.

Zhou Jing didn't know how many times he walked around the classroom corridor before the first class was over. He left the classroom and went back to his office to sit down.

"Teacher Zhou, is the math self-study class for class one today?"

The students of Class 2 greeted him when they passed by the door. "Yes." Zhou Jing nodded and said to the students standing at the corridor, "Try not to stay downstairs, including walking around the back of the building. There are many cases of people being injured by falling objects. Cao Xiaoxiao will tell the class about it."

"okay."

Squad leader Cao Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.

"It's really dangerous downstairs. Two years ago, a student in our junior high school was stabbed in the head by glass falling from an upper floor. It was very serious. He had brain damage and couldn't continue studying. Parents often went to the principal's office to make a scene."

"This is too tragic."

"Two years ago, a student from the junior high school of the city's No. 1 Middle School fell from the fourth-floor guardrail and died on the spot. It seemed that a few students were playing and one of them pushed too hard. I heard that his brains came out."

"I go."

"I've heard about this at No. 1 Middle School too. Luckily the class on the first floor was in physical education class and there was no one below."

"."

The teachers' office is a little busier during the evening breaks, as teachers who have self-study classes go back to the office to rest.

"Is it hard to be a teacher, Xiao Zhou?"

a history teacher asked.

"Everything is fine except that it's hard to get up in the morning."

It can't be said that Zhou Jing has had a hard time, he just feels that his personal freedom has been restricted, but as a single man, this doesn't matter to him.

Zhou Jing's main task now is to make money. Being a class teacher does not affect his novel writing at all. He does not even need to stay up late to write novels during the day. He goes home to rest directly after get off work at ten o'clock and lives a very leisurely life every day.

"Get used to it."

Yang Wenwen wants to say that she actually has a much easier job than her mother who helps to take care of the children. Her mother is really much busier taking care of the children and cooking all day. She has been very grateful to her mother for these years.

The time between classes is always short. It was like this when I was a student and it is still like this now that I am a teacher. I have to go back to class before I even have time to sit down in the office.

Zhou Jing returned to Class 1 and continued to supervise the students' self-study.

The get out of class ended at 9:10 on the second night, but the head teacher had not yet left work, so he continued to supervise the boarding students in the class during their self-study on the third night.

[I sent you a message but you didn’t reply. Do you have classes tonight?]

Zhou Jing received a text message from Liu Hanyu on his mobile phone.

【Math tutoring available】

[Okay, thank you for your hard work. I will report to the company tomorrow.]

In fact, Liu Hanyu guessed it. Just think about being a high school class teacher who starts work at six in the morning and gets off work at ten in the evening, and she feels tired.

Zhou Jing: [When will the company start production? ]

Liu Hanyu: [Next month, each section is currently undergoing commissioning]

On the evening of the 34rd day, Zhou Jing went to his class to count the boarding students to see if they were all there. There was not a single missing one of the boarding students.

"Are you used to the boarding life?"

Zhou Jing asked at the podium.

"got used to."

"When living in a group, you must learn to respect others. If you don't want to take a nap at noon, don't make noise in the dormitory. If you can't sleep at night, don't disturb others' rest. It's best to develop a good life and work schedule. Are there any teenagers addicted to the Internet?"

As a person who has experienced it, Zhou Jing knows collective life very well.

There are people in the dormitory who like to chat at night, some who snore, some who talk in their sleep, and some who play Feikun in the middle of the night and shake the bed to make it squeak.
It’s hard to explain, so Zhou Jing rented a house alone in his senior year of high school.

"There are girls addicted to the Internet. A girl said she is very good at dancing."

"Girls have better self-control than boys."

Zhou Jing is not worried about girls regarding the Internet issue, but once boys get addicted to online games, they will find it hard to extricate themselves. Internet cafes in Yulin City are now poorly managed, and underage high school students can enter at will. It will probably take the first half of next year for the situation to be rectified.

The class monitor is a day student, so Zhou Jing asked the deputy class monitor Tao Jia to maintain order in the class for three nights while he went back to the office.

Zhou Jing did not let Tao Jia keep the key to the mobile phone cabinet first. If he gave the key to Tao Jia, the students would think that the head teacher would not come to the classroom and be more active. Zhou Jing taking the key meant that he would definitely go to the classroom before school was over, which could give students an invisible supervision that the head teacher was always there and could appear in the classroom at any time.

The office area was very quiet at around nine o'clock in the evening, and some offices had already turned off the lights.

In office 107, Zhou Jing was watching a drama on the computer when Yang Wenwen came in.

Yang Wenwen went to the water dispenser and filled half a cup of hot water and said, "What are you looking at?"

"Embarrassed to say."

Zhou Jing took off the earphone from his right ear and said.

"what?"

Yang Wenwen was stunned, and was too embarrassed to say what she was looking at in the office.
