Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 96: Don't Pamper Students
"Of course, no problem. Even though I have a poor foundation, I can still hear that Teacher Gu is explaining very well."

How could Zhou Jing question Gu Jia's teaching level?

No matter how poor the English grades of Class 2 are, Zhou Jing would never question Gu Jia.

"In fact, the English scores of each class are not much different."

After Zhou Jing finished flipping through the test paper, Gu Jia put it back in the cabinet of his desk, looked at the time and went to drive.

Zhou Jing went out of the school and waited first. Gu Jia drove the car slowly and stopped by the roadside. After Zhou Jing got in the car, they headed for the development zone.

"I have lived in Yu City for a while. What do you think of this small city?"

Gu Jia held the steering wheel with both hands, looked ahead and said.

"The advantages and disadvantages are obvious. There is less pressure and a comfortable life. The disadvantage is that it is not as colorful as a big city. However, no matter how prosperous a big city is, it still takes time and energy to be meaningful. If you are very busy at work and have a lot of pressure, you might as well go to a small city."

Zhou Jing told the truth in front of Gu Jia.

"Yes, that."

Gu Jia nodded, hesitated to speak, and sighed softly.

"Why did Teacher Gu sigh?"

Zhou Jing looked at Gu Jia's profile and said.

"Upset."

Gu Jia sighed again.

"What are Mr. Gu's requirements for a partner?"

Zhou Jing could probably guess that the only things that could worry Gu Jia were the major events in her life.

The brat was quite considerate. Gu Jia said helplessly, "I don't have any requirements. Why should people get married?"

Gu Jia wants to talk about you.

“It’s not against the law not to get married.”

Zhou Jing fully understood Gu Jia's helplessness. He also often had this kind of trouble in his previous life. He often thought about how tiring it was to live like a slave. Why should we pass on the troubles and pain to the next generation? There are only two reasons.

Preventing aging and so-called continuation of the family line.

"It's not against the law, but who will support me in the future?"

Gu Jia glanced at the boy and said.

"I support Teacher Gu. I am filial to him. I will be filial to him for the rest of my life."

"Then I'll leave the rest of my life to you."

The car stopped at a red light at the intersection, and Gu Jia reached out and touched the boy's head.

If there was a brother or sister in the family, Gu Jia might not consider marriage. But since she is the only child in the family, she has to consider it. There are three unfilial acts: not having descendants and the worst one is not having a descendant.

Gu Jia couldn't help but think of Zhou Jing recently, but the more she thought about it, the sadder and more worried she became.

At a high-end western restaurant in the development zone, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia sat at seats against the wall.

Gu Jia ordered a pizza and a steak and gave the menu to Zhou Jing, who ordered a serving of pasta. Gu Jia also ordered a plate of wild mushroom risotto and a fruit tea.

“Can you cook Western food?”

Gu Jia took a sip of lemonade and looked at the boy.

"I can cook some simple dishes, such as pasta, grilled steak and pork chops."

"How can a girl be embarrassed when a boy like you is so versatile?"

Gu Jia felt that it was a blessing for her to be reserved, because any other girl would have fallen for this guy long ago.

"I'm just taking care of the lady!"

When the fruit tea came, Zhou Jing poured it for Gu Jia first with a smile.

The meal for two people cost nearly 200 yuan, which is considered a luxury in the small city of Yushi.

After eating, Gu Jia paid the bill first, and then waited for the boy to finish. The class was at 2pm, and it was almost 1:30pm after lunch. There was a bit of traffic jam on the road, and it was almost time for class when I returned to school. The students outside the school were in groups, and the car could not go fast at all. The first class in the afternoon was English class for Grade 12. Gu Jia asked Zhou Jing to park the car in the playground, and she got off the car in advance and went directly to the office.

Teacher Gu looked so hurried, just like a student who was about to be late.

After Zhou Jing parked the car and heard the bell ringing, he did not go to the classroom. Instead, he went to the dormitory, washed his face, and went to the office to send the math test papers of the two classes to the mathematics teaching and research group for review and statistics.

The monthly exams in high schools are quite rigorous. Although teachers will not cheat, they must go through the necessary inspection, review and statistical process.

During the last class in the afternoon, the class monitor took back the school uniform for the class. The color and style remained unchanged, a blue and white patchwork jacket, and blue pants. The quality was as good as ever, resistant to dirt and wear, and would not fade, and could be passed down through three generations without any problem.

“It’s so wide and big!”

"Whoever is smaller will trade with me."

Students who received the school uniforms tried them on immediately.

"School uniforms are big. You are growing taller now. If you wear them now and they fit you perfectly, you will not be able to wear them until graduation. It doesn't matter if the jacket is a little longer. If the pants are long, either raise them a little or fold the legs and sew them. Try not to cut the edges."

The school is very thoughtful when ordering uniforms. High schools only order uniforms once, so they definitely take students’ height into consideration.

"so be it!"

"The fabric of our school uniforms is pretty good."

"Your school uniform is fine. Sit down and don't move. Study peacefully."

"Let me talk about the math, physics, chemistry and biology competition tutoring. I see that there are quite a lot of people who have signed up. Don't be blind and choose according to your own situation. The competition tutoring will be faster than the normal class progress and will cover some things beyond the syllabus. It is not suitable for everyone. You can sign up if you have spare time. If you are tight on studying during normal classes, I don't encourage you to sign up. It is enough for you to master the normal progress. Signing up but not keeping up will be counterproductive."

Zhou Jing looked at the competition tutoring registration form handed over by the class monitor. There were too many people who signed up. Some students must have followed suit and felt it would be unfair if they didn't sign up since others had signed up. It was free anyway, so it would be a waste not to sign up. In fact, there was no need to do so. Not everyone was suitable for participating in the national competition.

Zhou Jing sent out several new forms and asked students to re-register.

After listening to the head teacher, some students are no longer blind.

"Teacher Zhou, will winning this competition give me extra points in the college entrance exam?"

The benefits of winning a competition are what students care about most.

"How is that possible? Only ethnic minorities get extra points in the college entrance exam now."

Without waiting for Zhou Jing to explain, the student who understood spoke.

"What's the point of participating in the competition?"

"If you win a prize in a subject, you will be considered a student with specialties in that subject. For example, if you win a prize in biology, you will be considered a student with specialties in biology. If you win a prize in chemistry, you will be considered a student with specialties in chemistry. Some universities can recruit students independently."

Zhou Jing gave the students a detailed explanation.

"That's great. Does that mean as long as you reach the first-tier score, you will have a chance to get into a 211 or even 985 university?"

"The prerequisite is to pass the school's independent enrollment examination."

In the morning, Wang Na sent a text message to Zhou Jing saying that she wanted to change seats. After thinking it over, Zhou Jing decided not to change it. He couldn't set this precedent for the class. If anyone changed seats because they were unhappy with their deskmate, it would cause chaos. He couldn't indulge them.

"Let me say a few more words about your interpersonal relationships. The purpose of your three years of high school is to study. Everything should be centered on studying. Try to avoid unnecessary mental exhaustion."

Zhou Jing wrote the words "mental exhaustion" on the blackboard and continued:

"What I mean by unnecessary mental exhaustion is, for example, falling in love, conflicts between classmates or roommates, and excessive self-esteem. These meaningless things consume your energy more seriously than studying."

After hearing this, Wang Na and Li Xin realized that the head teacher was talking about them.

All the students listened attentively, more seriously than attending the lecture.

"It's only been a few days since school started. What kind of conflicts between classmates could require changing seats to resolve? This really shouldn't happen. Why don't you use the energy you have to spend on studying when you have conflicts with classmates? No wonder you did so badly on the exam."

Zhou Jing's eyes swept over Wang Na and Li Xin.

When it was time to be strict, Zhou Jing treated boys and girls equally and would not feel embarrassed to criticize them just because they were girls. However, Zhou Jing still gave the two of them some face and did not say that they were not good at studying but were the best at making trouble.

The students then understood why the head teacher said this. It turned out that some of their classmates had a conflict and wanted to change seats.

Wang Na and Li Xin lowered their heads, with no expression on their faces.

　Thanks to Thoughtless Human for the 100-point reward.
