Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 59 This English teacher is not serious
The next day was the beginning of a new week. It was already 7:05 when Zhou Jing finished his exercises. The teacher had a morning meeting at 7:25. There was no time to eat breakfast, so he went to the office first.

The morning meeting is not that formal and is usually not held in the conference room, but in the lobby on the first floor of the administrative building.

Seeing that other teachers brought notebooks, Zhou Jing also brought a notebook and a pen.

The head teacher got up early and went to the administrative building leisurely. Some teachers who were not the head teacher got up later and seemed a little hurried on the way, just like some students before doing morning exercises.

"Morning, Teacher Zhao."

When Zhou Jing met Zhao Xin on the road, he waited for her for two steps.

"Good morning, are you mentally prepared to be criticized in public by your leader?"

Zhao Xin said with a smile on her face.

“No, what should I do when I’m criticized?”

As a teacher, Zhou Jing felt really bad when being criticized in public by his leader. Teachers are supposed to be highly respected.

"Just listen to what the leader says!" Zhao Xin smiled and sighed, "There is no self-esteem in the workplace."

"A lowly worker."

Although he felt uncomfortable being criticized, what could Zhou Jing do if he was really criticized? He could only endure it.

"It's not humble. After all, they are teachers. Leaders can criticize, but even the principal won't be rude." Zhao Xin added: "Leaders can criticize teachers in public at most by informing them of what problems a teacher had in class at what time. But if the class discipline is always bad and the grades are poor, it will affect the professional title assessment."

Zhou Jing listened and nodded.

The school is full of intellectuals, and teachers and leaders must respect themselves.

Ten minutes before the meeting, many teachers had already gathered in the lobby of the administrative building.

In this kind of occasion, you can witness with your own eyes the various aspects of teachers' lives. Some are jogging in a hurry, some are yawning with their hands covering their mouths, some have not washed their faces and even have eye boogers in the corners of their eyes. Even if the female teachers have not washed their faces, their hair is almost combed. Some male teachers are rather sloppy, and they look like greasy uncles despite being young.

Gu Jia appeared in the hall at 7:22. She walked and looked around until she came to Zhou Jing's side.

Gu Jia wore a T-shirt with a small jacket over it and casual jeans underneath. He was dressed quite casually. He usually looked much more refined in class than he did at this moment.

"I forgot to set the alarm last night."

Gu Jia whispered something to Zhou Jing, trying to restore her positive image.

"What time does Teacher Gu usually get up?"

Zhou Jing looked down and inadvertently saw a comb in Gu Jia's jacket pocket, and he almost couldn't help laughing.

"If there is no class in the first period, it's 7:20. If there is class, it's 7:00. Are you jealous?"

In fact, if Gu Jia doesn’t have classes in the first period, he will sleep until eight o’clock, and get up at seven twenty if he has classes.

"envious."

What Zhou Jing envied more was Gu Jia's background. Although he didn't know what Gu Jia's background was, it was definitely not bad. He heard from other teachers that Gu Jia was never criticized in school and the school leaders had to flatter her.

However, Zhou Jing admired Gu Jia very much. She could have just stayed at home and stayed at home, but she chose to be a teacher.

It can be seen that Gu Jia does not work for a living.

The Dean of Academic Affairs will first announce the results of last week's inspection and verbally criticize the classes that performed poorly, but it will not escalate to the point of deducting wages.

As long as their salary isn't deducted, everything is fine and the teacher will just listen to it.

Some classroom discipline problems are not because the teachers are not responsible. The teachers cannot keep staring at some students who have given up on themselves and affect the normal progress of the class. The teacher will only interrupt the class and criticize the students if they go too far.

Teachers sometimes turn a blind eye to students who sleep or read books unrelated to class.

If you are serious, you can stand on the podium and see clearly what the students are doing.

Those students who give up on themselves cannot concentrate even if the teacher takes them to the front of the podium and makes them stand and listen to the class. The teachers and leaders are aware of this situation.

Class 1 and 2 of Senior High School were not on the list of those being criticized, nor were they on the list of those being praised.

Zhou Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Meeting dismissed."

As the Dean of Academic Affairs announced the adjournment of the meeting, the teachers left in an orderly manner.

The 20-minute morning meeting seems to be a waste of time in the eyes of teachers, but from a management perspective, in large units and companies, some things seem meaningless but cannot be omitted.

"Want to have breakfast?"

Gu Jia asked beside Zhou Jing.

"I have a class in the first period, so I don't have enough time."

Zhou Jing looked at the time. It was already 7:45. "Okay! I'll go back to the dormitory first."

Noticing the looks from other teachers, Gu Jia did not continue walking side by side with Zhou Jing.

Gu Jia felt a little helpless. Among her colleagues, only Zhou Jing was relatively casual with whom she could interact. However, their relationship was rather special and worldly views were annoying, but she couldn't ignore them.

Zhou Jing taught a math class to the class in the first period. People are very prone to drowsiness between 8 and 9 in the morning. Some students even felt drowsy while standing. I don’t know if it was because they were lacking in nutrition or because they stayed up late.

In order to prevent students from being hypnotized, Zhou Jing tried to make his lectures as lively as possible, but some students still dozed off.

Because Zhou Jing is the head teacher, even if the students in his class are sleepy, they can still stand up straight, while the students in Class 1 may lie down.

"Ask a few students to do questions 1246 in the third exercise. He Chen, Zheng Mengyuan, Zhang Xiang."

Zhou Jing called upon students who were not in good condition, hoping to wake them up from their drowsiness and prevent them from falling asleep in class at the beginning of the school term.

Four students hurriedly walked up to the podium while flipping through their books and looking at the questions. Regardless of whether they knew the answers or not, they copied the questions on the blackboard first. Those who knew the answers started to do them, while those who didn't know the answers racked their brains to think about the questions.

"Students who know can give hints to those who don't. If you don't understand something in class, ask people around you. Make sure you understand the content of the day. If you don't understand today, you will do it tomorrow. If you don't understand tomorrow, you will do it the day after tomorrow. This vicious cycle will make it difficult to catch up."

Zhou Jing didn't want to see them standing on the podium, so he allowed students who didn't know how to answer to ask for help.

The purpose is not to see students embarrass themselves.

After a while, the two of them completed the answer by themselves, and they completed it with the help of the students below.

"Try to have a light breakfast. Some people have trouble concentrating and if they eat a greasy breakfast, it would be strange if they don't fall asleep in class."

The atmosphere in the classroom became lively, and Zhou Jing continued with his previous lecture.

The bell rang on time at 8:45, and Zhou Jing stopped the exercise he was explaining halfway. He couldn't extend the class longer, as occupying students' toilet time would affect the next class. There were many people in the school, so it was not easy for students to go to the toilet. Before leaving, Zhou Jing told the students to go outside for some fresh air, and not to lie down when the teacher left.

As soon as Zhou Jing left, someone in the classroom lay down on the table, refusing to listen to advice.

"Xiao Zhou, do you have anything to do during the second class this afternoon?"

Zhou Jing had just returned to the office when biology teacher Gao Miao asked.

"It's okay, is there anything wrong, Mr. Gao?"

"Then let's change the classes. I have a math class in the third period in the morning, and your math class can be moved to the afternoon. How about that?"

"no problem."

Changing classes is convenient for both others and yourself.

"Sorry for the trouble, Xiao Zhou."

"No trouble at all."

Will you leave the office soon?

Zhou Jing had just sat down at his desk when Gu Jia sent him a message.

Zhou Jing was going to have breakfast. If Gu Jia had something to do, he would definitely give her priority. He glanced at Gu Jia and replied: [Teacher Gu, what’s the matter? ]

At this moment, Gu Jia has changed her clothes.

Her hair was combed neatly, and she wore a light pink headband on her head, which fixed her long hair behind her head. Her hair was divided into three strands, one part was draped on her back, and one part was draped in front of her shoulders. Even after being divided into three strands, each strand was still quite thick, which showed that she had a lot of hair.

She wore a light pink shirt like her headband, loose blue jeans, a thin brown leather belt, and a pair of white sneakers. She tucked the shirt into her pants to make her waist look slimmer, and her look was simple and capable.

Gu Jia: [Someone will come to see me later. Give her the key on my desk.]

【OK】

Zhou Jing was curious but didn't ask who it was.

Gu Jia: [Three grams of oil, Wan Rui cursed and ate]

[Your English teacher is not very serious]

Zhou Jing was amused. He didn't expect that Gu Jia had such a cute side.

[Is that how you talk to your master, you traitor? (Knock, knock)]

The corners of Gu Jia's mouth curled up slightly. Among all her colleagues, he was the only one who joked with her like this.

Zhou Jing responded with a tongue-out emoticon.

It was time for class to start. It was the second period for the English class for Grade 1 and 2. Gu Jia stood up with her English book in her hand and gritted her teeth at Zhou Jing.
