Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 46 Lonely Gu Jia

"That's all for today. Please use the remaining time to digest what I just said. The homework is questions 3, 5, and 6 of the homework. The class representative should hand it in before class tomorrow morning."

The first lesson ended with five or six minutes left, and Zhou Jing did not continue. It was not appropriate to speak too fast at the beginning of the first year of high school.

"Teacher Zhou, don't you need to read books when you teach?"

The careful students noticed that the head teacher didn’t touch the book at all from the beginning to the end of the class. It was so amazing.

"I don't need to explain it to you. Is there anything I missed?"

Zhou Jing could explain everything to them with his eyes closed, it just depends on how much they can absorb.

"No, Teacher Zhou is amazing. She doesn't look like a new teacher at all."

The students have great admiration for this head teacher and math teacher. Students who have difficulty learning math in junior high school will not find it too hard to listen to this teacher's lectures, and most importantly, they will not be distracted when listening to this teacher's lectures.

"I worked part-time in a tutoring class during college."

"I see. But Mr. Zhou, teaching in a tutoring class earns more than the salary in school, right? Why did you choose to be a teacher in school?"

"High rewards often require high efforts. In the tutoring class, classes are held from morning to night every day, with no weekends, winter and summer vacations, and no holidays."

Zhou Jing said while leaning against the desk.

"That's true."

"I followed the textbook carefully and did the corresponding homework and workbooks wherever they were explained."

After class, Zhou Jing gave a few instructions and left the classroom.

The last class in the morning was a math class for Class 1, and Zhou Jing had basically nothing to do in the two hours or so.

"That's a good point!"

Gu Jia, who had just returned from the toilet, ran into Zhou Jingdao outside the office.

"Thank you for your praise, Teacher Gu. I will continue to work hard."

Zhou Jing is very humble in front of his teacher.

"Come on, you can do it!" Gu Jia walked past the boy and turned back to ask, "Do you understand?"

"Maybe it means to cheer up!"

Zhou Jing knew that Kam'ang was cheering. When Gu Jia spoke English, her voice had a gentle and soft accent, which was very pleasant to the ear. She was beautiful and her voice was beautiful too.

"How did you get into Tangdu Normal University?"

Gu Jia sighed.

"I don't really understand it either. Most people who don't major in English learn English for exam skills. I passed the Level 6 test but I can't communicate with people at all. I can't even understand an English article."

Zhao Xin, who also graduated from Tangdu Normal University, smiled and helped Zhou Jing.

Zhao Xin's situation is similar to Zhou Jing's. They are both strong in mathematics and comprehensive science, but lagging behind in English and Chinese.

"I think the foreign language exam in college entrance exams should be divided into professional and general levels, and the requirements for those who don't major in foreign languages ​​should be lowered in college."

A male teacher said.

"really."

"Good universities have higher requirements for foreign languages. If you don't learn foreign languages ​​well, you won't be able to understand many documents."

English teachers disagree with the view that this weakens English.

"You can look it up in a dictionary or ask someone to translate it. Even if you are good at foreign languages, you may not be able to understand the professional English of science and engineering majors."

"All non-English courses at Tsinghua University are taught in English."

"Do you think it is necessary? I think professional matters should be left to professionals. Translation should be left to foreign language majors, and pure science and engineering majors should just focus on academics. Language is ultimately just a carrier, not the foundation."

So the teachers in the office started a debate on whether English is important or not.

A good movie was released these days. Gu Jia wanted to go to the cinema to watch it, but she felt bored alone. She wanted to ask Zhou Jing to watch it with her on the weekend, but she was worried that it was not appropriate. In the past, she had her best friends to go crazy with her, but this summer, the last single best friend around her got married. Gu Jia didn't want to bother her any more. They had agreed to go crazy together until they were old, but in the end, they all got married.

All of Gu Jia's best friends got married without her noticing and she gradually felt a little lonely as she was not used to being alone.

It's time to consider finding a partner.

Gu Jia looked through her QQ friend list and found that there were few single people among her classmates. So she opened another friend list, which included people she had dated, people who had been introduced by her classmates, people who had pursued her, and people who were still pursuing her.

Gu Jia first did a rough screening, removing the married ones and those who were no longer in contact, leaving 27.
Looking at the friend list, Gu Jia carefully thought about her criteria for choosing a partner, removing those who did not meet the criteria while considering.

The second period was an English class for Grade 1-2, and the English teacher was Gu Jia.

Everything is fine for now. After class, Zhou Jing stole some vegetables, dealt with some small matters related to the class, and sent the files to the Archives Management Office for registration and sealing.

After the second get out of class in the morning, it is time for physical exercises, and the head teacher also has to supervise the class.

The radio gymnastics taught in different junior high schools may be different. When they reach high school, many students will not be able to do what they were not taught in junior high school. They can only learn it slowly in physical education classes or the school arranges self-study classes to teach it uniformly.

"If you don't know how to do it, don't just stand there and follow the people who know how to do it. You have to learn. Yu Haili did it very well."

Zhou Jing said to the students in his class who were standing still.

Under the urging of the head teacher and the physical education teacher, the students in the first year of high school who couldn't do it slowly learned it.

They are not learning well. It is not something that can be learned just by watching. Zhou Jing does not ask too much of his students.

Math classes are usually in the morning. Zhou Jing has classes in the first period four days in the morning from Monday to Friday. The school may arrange it this way because they think students are energetic in the morning and it is suitable for learning math. In fact, students can easily fall asleep in the first class. If the teacher speaks in a dull tone, everyone in the back row will fall asleep.

Zhou Jing had no classes in the afternoon, so he took the time to write a novel. The day passed quite briskly.

During the afternoon self-study class, the first thing Zhou Jing did was to arrange the seats.

Arranging seats helps to quickly establish class order and allow students to calm down quickly.

"Um, Mr. Zhou, I don't want to sit in the first row, is that okay?"

Liu Shanshan, who is less than 1.5 meters tall, found Zhou Jing privately and said this.

The girl stood in front of Zhou Jing, a little distance away from his shoulder. She was the shortest girl in Class 1-2 of Senior High School. According to the seats Zhou Jing had arranged in advance, she was in the first row.

It is indeed not good to sit in the first row. When the wind blows, the dust from the blackboard falls all over the table and your body. Moreover, you always have to tilt your neck to look at the blackboard during class, which is very tiring. The golden position in a class should be the fourth row.

Liu Shanshan has been sitting in the first row since fifth grade and she is fed up with it.

Zhou Jing looked at the petite girl and said with a smile: "If you don't want to sit in the first row, then go to the last row."

"Ah, then I'll just listen to Teacher Zhou."

The girl puffed up her cheeks and didn't insist.

Some students are troubled because they are tall and always have to sit at the back of the row, while others are troubled because they are short.

When they arrived at the classroom, Zhou Jing asked everyone to stand in two rows in the corridor outside the classroom, one row for boys and one row for girls.

Zhou Jing stood at the door of the classroom, looking at the printed seating chart and reading out the names.

"Wu Jingni, Wei Xiaoyao, seats in the first row by the door."

"Bai Jian and Zhang Panpan, from left to right."

"."

Liu Shanshan, who had previously told Zhou Jing that she didn't want to sit in the first row, was moved to the second row by Zhou Jing.

Feng Yuhua is not short among the girls, so Zhou Jing arranged her in the fourth row. Recently, Yu Haili, the girl who sat next to Feng Yuhua, was not studying very hard, so Zhou Jing separated the two of them and arranged a positive and simple girl, Yang Yanlin, for Feng Yuhua. Zhou Jing took care of Feng Yuhua in every way he could, and now it was Feng Minghai's turn.

As for the other students in the class, Zhou Jing, who is taller, has better grades and performs better, sits slightly forward on both sides of the seat, while the taller students with poor grades and performance sit one or two rows back.

There are 56 students in the class, which are divided into seven rows. The heights of the students in the last three rows are almost the same. In order to take care of the feelings of the students in the last row, Zhou Jing has the seats in the last three rows rotated back and forth once a week. Otherwise, good students will become bad if they always keep company with the trash cans.

"The seats are like this for now, and we will adjust them if there are special circumstances in the future."

After everyone had adjusted their seats and sat down, Zhou Jing took a rough look and found that they were basically reasonable.

"Having finished junior high school and passed the entrance exam with excellent grades does not mean success, but the beginning of a new challenge, a bigger challenge than before. Now everyone is at the same starting line. The first thing everyone has to do when entering high school is to forget the past honors, which are now meaningless."

"Remember that there are always people better than you. You should all be in high school now. In the past, you were all top students in your junior high school, but here, among 1165 students in 230 classes, you are all currently ranked outside the top . Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhou Jing has noticed during this period that some students are arrogant and it is not wise for them to carry around a sense of superiority in junior high school.

“There are 230 people in the experimental class.”

"It's good that you understand. Let's go to study."
