Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 95 Good Disciple

Wang Na: [I don’t want to sit with Li Xin anymore]

【let me see】

The reason for the seat change made Zhou Jing laugh and cry.

Girls have a lot of things to do. They had been sitting together for less than a month when they had a conflict and needed to change seats. Zhou Jing took out the seating chart in the folder to see who would be most suitable for the seat change. Changing seats is not just the responsibility of one student, as one person's change affects four people.

"Teacher Zhao, shouldn't you eat a mouthful of vinegar with each bite of bun?"

Zhou Jing said to Zhao Xin who was eating buns and stealing vegetables at the other desk.

Zhao Xin coughed lightly, wiped her mouth and said with a smile: "How can it be so exaggerated? Have you ever seen it?"

“I’ve seen people bite a small hole in a bun and then fill it with vinegar and eat it.”

Zhou Jing had only seen it online and didn't know if it was really that exaggerated.

"I've seen people so jealous before, it makes me feel sour just looking at them."

A female teacher said.

"People who are particularly jealous will eat like that."

Zhao Xin was embarrassed to admit that she ate buns and dumplings like this at home, but she was embarrassed to do it outside.

Zhou Jingyi has three classes on Monday morning. If he has classes, he will attend them. If he doesn't have classes, he will check the monthly test papers.

After checking that the test papers were marked correctly and calculating the total scores, Zhou Jing first took out Feng Yuhua's.

The girl got one fill-in-the-blank question wrong, and lost 6 points for the whole question, which means she scored 139.

In this math test, except for one difficult multiple-choice question and one difficult fill-in-the-blank question, as well as the last 15-point question which was a bit difficult, the other questions were relatively basic. As long as students have a good grasp of the basics and answer the questions carefully, it is not difficult to score more than 120 points. The difficult questions worth 25 points are naturally intended to widen the gap, otherwise it will not be easy to tell the good from the bad.

Zhou Jing finished checking the test papers of his class in one class period.

Ma Jiawei performed the best with a score of 145. There were two others who scored above 140. There were eight or nine who scored between 130 and below 140. There were more who scored between 120 and below 130. There were eight or nine who failed with a score below 90.

Overall it was okay and met Zhou Jing's expectations. At least it was top-notch among the 16 ordinary classes.

"How's your math score?"

Gu Jia, who had just arrived at the office, picked up the test paper of Class 2 on Zhou Jing's desk and looked through it.

"It's OK. This class didn't embarrass me too much."

Zhou Jing was about to ask about his English grades but didn't ask.

"Ma Jiawei scored less than 60 in English, which is the opposite of his math score."

Gu Jia turned to the test paper of Ma Jiawei, who ranked first in mathematics, and sighed. His English score was less than half of his math score. What's the point of getting full marks in mathematics when his English is so bad?

"This type of student is the most troublesome. If their English score is less than 60, it is entirely an attitude problem."

Yang Wenwen was not surprised. This student was even more extreme than Zhou Jing. Zhou Jing always got full marks in math and could get 80 or 90 points no matter how bad his English was. Those who couldn't even get 60 points in English hadn't even passed the basic vocabulary test.

“How should we guide such students?”

Zhou Jing looked at Yang Wenwen and said.

"It's very difficult. English is not like other subjects. Students with a very poor foundation in English need to work very hard to learn it well."

Yang Wenwen sighed and shook her head.

There are such students in every class. They are very good at math, physics and chemistry but very poor at English. It is a pity for the teacher to see this, but the student has to rely on himself to learn. A teacher who is biased towards one's subject cannot learn for him.

"Teacher Yang's advice is very accurate. I found ways and methods to catch up on math, physics and chemistry very quickly, but English is not so good."

Class 1 head teacher Cao Long said.

"Last year, a student in our school scored 60 points in the college entrance examination in English. After a year of tutoring, he scored over points in English this year. Do you know how hard he worked? Last year, the tutoring started in July. He spent one hour each in the morning, noon, and evening writing words. He persisted in doing this for more than three months and passed the word test. After that, he started learning grammar. It was not until the fifth or sixth month that his English scores showed a significant improvement."

Another teacher said.

“This is truly the case of hard work making up for one’s shortcomings.”

Three hours a day, ninety hours a month, two hundred and seventy hours in three months, which is equivalent to more than twenty days and nights just writing words. Zhou Jing admires this kind of students very much. They have truly made up for their shortcomings with hard work and forced themselves to a level that is not within their talent level. If Zhou Jing has this kind of perseverance, it is not a dream for him to be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University.

"It's really amazing that the English score improved by more than 40 points in one year." When other teachers talked about English, the English teacher felt helpless.

Is it so exaggerated that English teachers cannot understand why learning English is so exaggerated?
Zhou Jing had been planning to give some guidance to students like Ma Jiawei, but after listening to other teachers, he felt that talking was pointless because Ma Jiawei was not the type of person who could write words for three hours every day for three months.

The second class started, Zhou Jing took his math book to the classroom. The third class was math class for Grade 1 and 2.

"Teacher, have you finished grading the math test papers?"

Students who love to study are always concerned about their grades after every monthly exam and can’t wait for the test papers to be distributed.

"The results are out, but they haven't been registered yet. They will be issued after they are registered. Is the invigilation strict? Is there any cheating?"

Zhou Jing put the book on the desk and glanced at the whole class.

"I don't care!"

"That's right, it's completely meaningless. What's the point of cheating on the monthly exam? You can't cheat on the college entrance examination."

Students will not admit cheating even if they do.

"The math scores of Class 2 are generally okay, but some students are seriously unbalanced in certain subjects. They scored 130-140 in math, and less than 60-70 in English. You know who I'm talking about. You need to work harder on your English, at least don't fall behind."

"Who is so awesome?"

"We'll know after the test papers are handed out. Let's start the class. Today we'll cover new content. We'll talk about the test papers after they're handed out. Oh, and the school uniforms are back. After the third period this afternoon, Cao Xiaoxiao will take a few people to pick them up."

Zhou Jing didn't mention any specific names in public.

In the fourth class, Zhou Jing checked the test papers of Class 1 of Grade 1. Class 1 performed slightly worse than Class 2. This was probably the effect of the head teacher. The grades of the class taught by the head teacher were relatively better. The head teacher had strict requirements for the class and the students were self-conscious.

[Do you like Western food?]

The get out of class was about to end, and after hesitating for a while, Gu Jia sent a message to Zhou Jing on the computer.

[I like it, Master, will you treat me to a meal?]

Zhou Jing replied on the computer immediately.

Gu Jia: [Can't you treat me to a meal? You are not filial at all (knocking)]

Zhou Jing: [Invite Master to watch a movie on the weekend]

Gu Jia: [This is a good disciple. There is a good western restaurant in the development zone. Let’s go there after school.]

It's boring to go out to eat alone, and there's no one else to go to except Zhou Jing's good disciple Gu Jia.

After the message was sent, Gu Jia raised the corner of her mouth and changed Zhou Jing's note to "good disciple"

Preparation and training for the first-year high school mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology competitions have begun.

The school has selected some teachers from various subjects to provide free tutoring to interested students during the third evening self-study period during the week and on weekends. Those who are not participating in the competition can also sign up to attend the classes.

Zhou Jing was selected as a lecturer in the mathematics group and may have to teach one or two more classes per week in the future.

Sign up this week and arrange make-up classes next week.

It is of course good to provide free tutoring to students, but the school should at least give the teachers some extra money.

After school at noon, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia did not leave in a hurry, but waited until the peak time was over.

"It's so hard to be an English teacher. Don't blame me for not teaching you well."

After there were only two people left in the office, Gu Jia handed the English test paper of Class 2 to Zhou Jing and said tiredly.

"I know Mr. Gu's level."

Zhou Jing looked through the test paper and nodded to show that he understood.

"What do you mean? What do you think of my level as a teacher?"

Gu Jia felt something was strange.

　Thank you An An Jingjing for the reward of 100 points, and thank you all for your monthly tickets.
