Chapter 30 first quarter

Hearing the preparation bell on the radio, I closed the library.Looking up at the classroom, the students put the books they were reading into their desks, and began to chat with their classmates with a look of patience.When the scene that repeats every morning came into view, I felt a pain in my heart like a conditioned reflex. "Closing the book will make you talk immediately." I clapped my hands to get their attention and said loudly.If the sound is not amplified as much as possible, the children will not notice at all.The students who finally heard the voice looked at me in twos and threes.

Why, a question came from a corner of the classroom. "If you talk, the things in your head will fly out. So when you close the book, close your mouth for ten seconds, and think about what you read." A child who turns his eyes away with a look of "I'm really bored"; a child who is in a daze without understanding; a child who nods vigorously as if saying that he has understood what the teacher said.Students in the fourth grade of elementary school will react differently to the teacher's words. When I first became the class teacher, I felt very disturbed.Recently, although I have realized that no matter what the reaction is, the child can reach the same level of understanding in less than a minute, but ignoring anyone's reaction is not a qualified class teacher.

The "female teacher" I dreamed of when I was young is completely different from the reality. I have felt this every day since I took the class this spring.In addition, the natural fact that "teachers are human beings" is also confirmed every day.In the early summer, he got sick and was hospitalized, which brought troubles to the school, probably because of the stress. Ten seconds, I don't know who said something.Like a signal, the classroom was once again enveloped by voices.Enduring the yelling like great pressure, I put the library book on the desk, and replaced it with the sociology textbook and lesson plan notes of the first class.

"Students who haven't collected their books, hurry up and handle them with care." The Early Morning Reading Movement, which started last month, has had mixed reviews among kids, but has been dear to me.Students read books borrowed from the library without any instruction to the teacher.The other teachers also read books they were interested in, so I also brought my favorite period novels.On dreary days, being able to read a novel, even if only for ten minutes, before class starts feels like a dream.My brother gave me a birthday present—a pig in the corner of the leather book cover, pink, I don’t know if it’s male or female, sleeping with its head resting on its lap, female students say it’s cute, but to me it’s totally cute. Couldn't find the loveliness.

The whiteboard in the teacher's room has also been updated, and it will be November from today. I looked towards Dynasty by the window. The closed book was placed on the table, Chao Dai straightened his back, turned his face slightly down, and stared at the place where there was nothing.She usually has no expression changes, and today she has no expression at all.Her surname has changed since today, and I haven't told my classmates about it yet.After discussing with the dean, it is better to explain before school is over.What was said in the morning, the whole day today, the people in the class may hurt the dynasty.Before school, the children have one night to understand the dynasty, and the next day both parties will have some psychological preparations.The dean of teaching explained so.

Dynasty's mother remarried. Yesterday was Sunday, and her mother and she changed their surnames. Starting this morning, the dynasty’s surname on school documents was changed from "Kiuchi" to "Yabashita". Of course, there is nothing to be ashamed of.His parents divorced soon after the dynasty was born, and his mother had been single for a long time, so this was a good thing.I didn't quite understand what the dean said.Listening carefully, it turns out that the children in the fourth grade of primary school are very sensitive to topics with a little bit of sexual taste, and the mother's marriage is probably more than enough to stimulate their little tentacles.

——When I was leading the class, once I asked the whole class to applaud the birthday students. —— But immediately, students born on October 10 were nicknamed "New Year's Day", while those born six days ago were called "Christmas". —Didn’t you say you were pregnant in October, so—— I see.It's a silly joke for adults, but it's hard for children to be called such a nickname. ——No one can predict what problems will arise. —— So I followed the instructions of the teaching director and put the affairs of the dynasty in after school. I was a little nervous about talking about the dynasty at the class meeting.But the result turned out to be very dull, male students or female students just listened without interest.There is absolutely no sign of anyone wanting to say anything strange to the dynasty.Chao Dai himself didn't seem to care about his classmates' reactions at all, and just looked out the window.

I remembered what my mother had said to me in the evening two weeks ago. ——Does that child... have any friends? —— She came to explain to me about the child's surname change.She worked in a flower shop and came to school on the way to deliver, looking at the clock in the reception room from time to time, fidgeting.Although I came by the delivery car in the store, I probably noticed that I forgot to take off the apron when I got out of the car, so I rolled up the apron that was somewhat dirty and put it on my lap. ——I don’t seem to be very good at acting with everyone—— I answer truthfully.

I am also very concerned about the dynasty.She is taciturn, quiet and honest.After taking the class, I hardly heard her speak.But it's not being bullied or hated by the classmates in the class, it's just a matter of personality. As the class teacher, I don't know what to do.When resting, she always sits alone in the seat.I tried to talk to her, but she just echoed ambiguously, almost expressionless, as if saying with her eyes: leave me alone. ——Do you not talk at all in school? —— --Ok.Is it at home too? —— Her mother said the same thing to me during a home visit in May.At that time, Chao Dai was sitting next to her. Although she was very tactful, her mother still expressed that she was troubled by her lack of words.At this time, Dynasty seemed to be listening to a conversation about someone else, and just stared blankly at his hand.

——I think that is also a kind of personality, try not to nag her at home... I think there will always be changes. —— Saying that, Chao Dai's mother looked at the clock in the reception room again. ——Dao Dynasty is very clever, and he may have thought of many problems in that silence. —— In the exams at the end of the first semester, Dynasty scored full marks in all subjects.It is not uncommon to get perfect marks in the fourth-grade examination, but no one else has achieved perfect marks in all subjects.I told the other class teachers, and I was really surprised. ——The writing of the composition and the like is surprising. ——

—Always read books in the library at home. —— ——It looks like it's doing nothing, but it's actually thinking seriously. —— As a result of the discussion, I decided to take a look at the current situation first. —Sorry about your marriage this time. —— I asked Chao Dai's mother who was about to stand up. ——Is there any response from the dynasty? —— --As usual. —— Mother Chao Dai replied with a sigh. ——Ah, so...a confusing answer. —— Then she shut her mouth tightly, with a sad expression on her face. ——About that child’s admission to higher education, I have talked to you, teacher, before, right? —— —Well, you said you wanted her to go to a private secondary school. —— Why did the topic of remarriage suddenly turn to the topic of going to school? I couldn't figure out her intention. ——Because of my low education, I suffered a lot.So I don't want that child to repeat my life, and it happens that she has good academic performance, so I want her to be able to enter a good school in middle school. —— I thought she was going to keep talking, staring at her face for a moment, but she just apologized softly and hung her head down. ——Then, I’m about to take my leave. —— ——Ah, I'll see you off. —— Walking side by side in the hallway after school with Chao Dai's mother, when I recalled the conversation just now, I felt a little understanding.The mother's remarriage must have been for the sake of the child.It is difficult for single mothers to get their children into private secondary schools.Of course, she wouldn't remarry just for tuition fees, but that must be one of the reasons. In the past ten years, it must have been very difficult to raise a daughter by myself.My father also passed away when I was in middle school, and my mother worked desperately to run a non-staple food store to support me and my younger brother. I understand the hardships involved.
