"Studying... is naturally the most important thing, but the child is now in adolescence, and the age of fourteen or fifteen is still considered a rebellious period. You, try to spend some time with your child, don't just let her study and read all day long.
"
When Xue Heng heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Her studies are already terrible! If this continues, I'm afraid she won't even be able to go to an ordinary high school."
"Is it that bad?" Xue Ling asked anxiously.
Mrs. Chen smiled bitterly and shook her head: "This is not an ordinary bad boy. This child is very beautiful, and you can tell she is a smart girl at a glance, but she is not the material for studying. Her parents are both intellectuals, and her father is not good at studying.
He has always been among the best, and our parents have never had to worry about his studies. But I don’t know who this child is like. His grades have been declining since the fourth or fifth grade of elementary school. He failed several subjects at the end of last semester. If it weren’t for Ah Heng,
I insisted not to let her repeat the grade. The principal and teachers kept saying that she had to repeat the grade because she couldn't keep up."
"Is it so bad?" Xue Ling asked: "It's the second year of junior high school, right? How many subjects are there in the first year of junior high school? Several subjects have failed? Isn't it?"
"Yes." Xue Heng replied: "Except for music and art, the main subjects are basically unqualified. Geography, history, and politics, etc., it seems that only one subject passed with a score of 60 or so, and the others all scored 30 or 40.
.”
Xue Ling: "..."
Ms. Chen smiled helplessly: "There is nothing we can do! This child goes into the house to do her homework when she comes back from school. She has classes from Monday to Friday, and makes up classes on Saturdays and Sundays. She insists on studying and doing it, but she just can't learn well.
Maybe, she was not born to study. I told A Heng that we must be more open-minded and don't push the child. People's intelligence is about the same, but their academic performance is very different. Some people are born to be good at studying, and they don't need to study hard.
Those who can do well in the exam. Some people study hard, but they may not be able to study well."
"Even if I don't look away, I have to look away!"
But she never listened carefully to what the teacher said, nor did she take it into her mind. All the exams were based on guesswork, and the test papers were almost blank except for multiple-choice questions."
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "Then... you haven't thought about repeating the grade? What did A Fang say?"
"You can't repeat the grade." Xue Heng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Even if she stays for a few more years, she will probably be just as bad. It's better to let her finish her studies as soon as possible and learn a skill for herself in the future. A Fang is very worried and anxious.
Tianman Emperor asked famous teachers and outstanding teachers to provide extra lessons for Xiaohan. I know that she is also doing it for the good of her children, and strives for their children to improve to some extent. But I feel that the effect is very little, and it is not even possible to be 'better than nothing'."
Xue Ling felt uncomfortable hearing this.
Xiaohan seems to have a serious problem!
Xue Heng rubbed his temples and sighed repeatedly.
"Sometimes when I look at her report card, I can't help but wonder about life. How could I have given birth to a daughter with such a poor academic performance... I really can't stand it. I can't accept it in my heart, but I have to accept it.
"
Mrs. Chen stopped and said: "Don't talk about the child like that. Xiaohan is actually very well-behaved. It's just that he was not born to read, that's why he reads so poorly. If the child is physically and mentally healthy, it's good enough. Don't expect too much.
Too many. At our age, we have seen through everything. Being good at studying does not necessarily lead to a better life. Xiaohan is good-looking and handsome. She just needs to learn some artistic skills in the future. Ah
Heng is just a daughter like her, and all the family property will belong to her in the future. She doesn’t have to work hard to make money. It’s enough to find a small, leisurely job to live a stable life.”
Xue Ling swallowed his saliva and hesitated to speak.
Xue Heng, who was lying on the sofa beside him, smiled bitterly: "Mom, my child is only a teenager. It's not good for you to say such things in front of her, otherwise she will be even less willing to work hard."
"She has worked hard enough." Mrs. Chen whispered distressedly: "She has classes from Monday to Friday. During the day, she goes out at around six o'clock in the morning and gets home at around six o'clock in the evening. After dinner, she goes back to her room to study and doesn't go to bed until ten o'clock in the evening.
.I have to go to cram school on Saturdays and Sundays, and I don’t even have any time to play. The child is like this, what else do you want from her? Haven’t you already said it? It’s not that she doesn’t work hard enough, it’s her.
My efforts have had little effect.”
"Having said that, you can't say that in front of her." Xue Heng reminded again.
Mrs. Chen glared at her eldest son angrily and said: "Nowadays young people like to popularize the word 'lying flat'. If it is not too tired and uncomfortable, how can young people pursue lying flat? It will definitely be unbearable. Today's children learn
The pressure is high, and the work pressure is even greater. Don’t worry too much, as long as your children are healthy and happy.”
Xue Heng sighed helplessly and gave Xue Ling a finger.
Xue Ling leaned toward him and heard him murmuring in a low voice: "Xiaohan is studying and running around now. She spends more than an hour on the road every day. A while ago, she told me to buy her a bag next to the school.
I want to buy a small house so that she can go to and from school. I dare not agree, she has been pestering me for the past two days to agree. Lingling, are there any properties near the No. 4 Middle School that you are familiar with? Do you have a house there? "
"Uh..." Xue Ling shook his head: "No."
Even if she had it, she wouldn't lend it out, and it would be impossible to sell it.
Xue Ling glanced at him and said: "What did I say just now - the child is in the rebellious period and needs the company and attention of her parents. She is a teenage girl, do you think she can go out and live alone?
The consequences of leaving things alone will be serious, and there is no doubt that the tiger will be let go."
Xue Hengpo explained helplessly: "I feel bad too, but she begs me every day. I'm not sure if I let her live outside the school. Either A Fang goes to live with her, or hire a full-time nanny for her."
"No way!" Xue Ling shook her head categorically: "You can't agree. Ah Fang works in a TV station and is never on time. Sometimes she works for more than thirty hours in a row, and she can't take care of her at all. She is so old, she can only be a nanny.
Helping with cleaning and cooking three meals for her will not help you discipline her or counsel her at all."
"Isn't it possible?" Xue Heng brushed his hair irritably and whispered: "I've been exhausted both physically and mentally recently, and I can't really care about her too much. A Fang told me a while ago that she can be happy when she comes back from this business trip.
During the one-month gap, she will take Xiaohan over to live with her and try her best to help Xiaohan with her homework. This will allow me to devote myself to taking care of the two elderly people without having to worry about one and the other."
"Did Xiaohan dye her hair?" Xue Ling asked with a twinkle in her eye.
Xue Heng shook his head blankly: "No...why do you ask so suddenly?"
