Chapter 25 Conversation
Several parents entered the English teacher's office one after another.
Perhaps because we are in class, there is only one English teacher in the office.
"Hello parents, I am Gao Mei, the English teacher of Class 9. Thank you very much for coming despite your busy schedule."
After several parents sat down in the office, the English teacher introduced himself to the parents.
"Today, I asked you to come here mainly because I want to tell you about some of the problems your children have in English classes.
Yesterday, I had already learned the content of a lesson, but when I was in class today, I accidentally discovered that there was no trace of any sketches in your children's textbooks. In addition, they almost didn't learn the English words I asked to recite in the last lesson.
None of them can be recited proficiently."
Teacher Gao Mei told the reason why she called the parents today.
"Ah! You called us here in such a hurry because your child didn't take notes in the textbook during class!"
The male head of the family who was talking to Zhao Hongming just now suddenly became a little unhappy.
"Yes, that's it."
Teacher Gao Mei glanced at the male parent indifferently and nodded.
Zhao Hongming also felt a little resentful in his heart. It was not impossible to call parents. For matters like this, teachers could communicate with parents after school or when sending their children to school.
Isn’t it a bit much to ask parents to drop what they are doing and rush over in such a hurry?
Hearing what Teacher Gao said, the expressions of all the parents began to change.
"You guys! Don't be too busy getting angry. I asked you to come directly for a reason."
Gao Mei looked at the faces of the parents and said in a solemn voice without any panic: "Now that I'm in junior high school, it's completely different from when I was in elementary school.
In primary school classes, if you don’t take notes, you may be able to supplement the notes by yourself after class by looking for information, etc.
I have been teaching English for more than ten years. Every sentence I explain in class and every note I ask students to take are test points for the high school entrance examination three years later.
It can be said that the notes in the students’ textbooks are the result of my more than ten years of teaching experience.
Now, if they cannot develop the habit of taking notes, it means that they did not listen carefully to my lectures in class. They have only been in junior high school for a few days, and these habits that were not developed in elementary school are exposed one by one."
Gao Mei picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of water, and then said: "Junior high school is not like elementary school. Students really can't understand some knowledge if they don't listen to the teacher's explanation.
The knowledge chain in junior high school is very close. Some of the English content in the first grade of junior high school has been learned by students in elementary school, but it is not that in-depth.
This also causes some students to think that their English scores in primary school are good, and that learning English in junior high school is just like primary school, and they can pass by memorizing only three or two words.
As everyone knows! In junior high school, whether it is English or other subjects, as long as you lag behind others in one aspect, there may be incomplete links and omissions in the rest!"
Seeing that the parents were listening to her attentively, Gao Mei nodded secretly.
"The reason why I called you here so urgently today is to let them know that I, as an English teacher, am very strict with my students.
If there is any slight discrepancy, I will ask parents to come over and supervise.
Some students may not take my words seriously. After all, it has only been a few days since they officially entered the new school, so you are my supporter!
Only when the backing is stable can I, the teacher, stand straight.
Can you understand what I mean?"
Gao Mei finished everything she wanted to say and looked at the parents in the office quietly.
Zhao Hongming raised his head and looked around, and found that the faces of the parents who were still a little resentful had softened a lot, and they all looked thoughtful.
"Teacher Gao, to be honest, if we came here in such a hurry, it would be a lie to say that we have no ideas in our hearts.
However, listening to you is better than ten years of reading!
When we were studying, we were never like these guys, who had to worry about everything with the teacher!
Taking notes and memorizing is something you should take the initiative to do, rather than having your teachers force you to do it.
Something like this happened today, which shows that our child has not developed good study habits before."
Zhao Hongming saw that no parents spoke, so he thought for a while before speaking out.
"Don't worry, as long as it's about learning, if you have any requirements, just ask us. As parents, we will definitely cooperate with you."
It is undeniable that what Teacher Gao said just now is very sincere and responsible.
"Yes, this parent is right. Teacher Gao, you must control your child more strictly. Even if you take care of him a few times, I have no objection."
The male head of the family, who used to have a bad look on his face, now echoed Zhao Hongming’s words.
Who doesn’t want their children to excel in their studies? Although the teacher’s methods are questionable, is this not for the sake of the children?
"Yes! Teacher Gao, you must pay more attention!"
Several other parents also expressed their opinions one after another.
Without exception, they all strongly agree with the teacher’s approach of calling parents today.
"Okay! With your words, I feel relieved.
As for what this parent said about cleaning up the students, I won’t do that. I...forget it, I won’t say it anymore.
In short, thank you very much for understanding what I am doing today.
Next, I also ask you parents to go outside and supervise your children. Memorize what you need to memorize, and then you can go.
Thank you!"
Gao Mei stood up and bowed slightly to the parents in front of her.
The parents quickly stood up and said repeatedly: "This is what should be done!"
"Huanhuan, bring your textbook!"
After leaving the office door, Zhao Hongming called Zhao Huan over and opened his textbook.
Sure enough, the textbook, which had already been read for a few pages, was as smooth as new, with no sign of having been touched at all.
"What part of the content did Teacher Gao ask you to memorize? Now hurry up and memorize it for me!"
Zhao Hongming frowned and returned the textbook to Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan took a careful look at his father and found that he had no intention of getting angry. He relaxed and quickly grabbed the textbook and started reading aloud.
A few minutes later, Zhao Huan handed the textbook to Zhao Hongming again.
After I finished reciting an English conversation, I looked at my father anxiously.
"Why don't you memorize such a small thing? You have to wait until the teacher calls me."
Zhao Hongming pulled Zhao Huan aside, pointed at the textbook and whispered.
"I'm sorry, Dad, I made a mistake and I won't do it again!"
Zhao Huan's voice was as low as a mosquito's.
"Okay, let's go to physical education class! I have to go back too!"
Zhao Hongming touched Zhao Huan's head and said.
After hearing his father's words, Zhao Huan was as if he was amnesty, and he grabbed the book and ran away.
Other students also finished memorizing the books under the supervision of their parents.
"Dingle bell!"
The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and the quiet campus became noisy again.
After Zhao Hongming said hello to Teacher Gao, he also walked out of Qixing Middle School.
"Teacher Gao, you started calling parents again!"
Several teachers returned to the office after class and asked with a smile.
"Yeah! We need to catch those guys' habits!
Haha, there is a parent! He also told me to take care of his children!"
Gao Mei also answered with a smile.
"Hey! Don't do it! Today's parents talk about discipline, but when they actually start to discipline their children, they might cause trouble again!"
A male teacher advised.
"Haha, I'm not stupid!"
