Chapter 49: The Mustache Class Teacher
Only through experience can we grow, this is the sentence I have experienced most over the years.
In the same way, it also made me deeply realize that no matter how long the family war lasts and how long it lasts, I am always a child, a minor in the legal sense, and the world of adults has their own rules and ways of behaving.
In the world of adults, I am actually an ordinary straw, just an inconspicuous straw, which will not play any role and influence on the affairs of adults, and of course it will not be the "famous" one that crushes the camel. But it is foreseeable that my "straw" may be chewed by camels at any time to the point that there is no residue left.
With the continuous deepening of junior high school life, the age slowly grows up, at that time, the wind is in its prime, the love is beginning to open, and gradually began to have a good impression of the opposite sex, always want to chat, play, and make friends with classmates of the opposite sex, boys and girls have this mentality.
As for me, I am also an out-and-out mortal, and naturally I will not be an exception.
Whenever class is over, boys and girls always find opportunities to play together, even if there are no games, it's good to chat.
Especially in the evening self-study, all the homework was completed.
Taking advantage of the absence of the homeroom teacher, he quietly used small notes to transmit information, which was also a way to make friends and chat under the condition that there were no advanced electronic products such as mobile phones at that time.
Why do you have to pass a note when the homeroom teacher is not there?
It's basically the same as when we go to school now.
Although the classroom environment is very different from the current teaching environment, it is customary for a classroom to always have two doors in the front and back.
In fact, this is the relevant regulations of the national fire department and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and its main role is to quickly evacuate in case of fire, earthquake and other emergencies.
In addition, one of the professional habits and hobbies of all homeroom teachers from ancient times to the present day is to quietly appear through the back door and monitor the movements of the students in the class.
As mentioned before, at that time, Lei Zi, Lao Yan, and Jiajia were the only two junior high schools in Qi County, which was named the third middle school. Because No. 2 Middle School is the only other junior high school, which is the school that Peng Chao attends, and No. 1 Middle School is the only high school.
It may be that according to some regulations, my school is ranked "third".
Our class was named Class 198.
Speaking of which, you may wonder, is it possible that a junior high school has 198 junior high school classes? How can there be so many people? Is there so many school-age teenagers in a small banner county?
Of course, it's not what everyone thinks.
Although I don't know much about the class placement of schools in the city today, at that time, the class arrangement of our school was calculated from the date of establishment and extended backwards.
If there are only 10 classes at the time of the school's establishment, the names of the classes will be named Classes 1 to 10. When the next class of new students is recruited, the number of places will be 11 to 20 classes, then 21 to 30 classes, and so on.
When I was in junior high school, it was a class of 193 to 202.
The homeroom teacher in our class is called Zhang Duan.
A male math teacher in his early thirties, not tall, with a mustache under his nose, always likes to put his hands in his trouser pockets, at first glance there is a bit of a non-angry and arrogant look, the classmates are afraid of him, but not very convinced.
Therefore, everyone privately called him "mustache".
The biggest characteristic of the mustache is that he likes to appear quietly at the back door of the class, and when he finds a naughty classmate, he immediately pulls it to the open space at the back of the class.
If there are a lot of people, it will be easy to do it, let everyone stand in a row and spank one by one.
It's not a joke, it's real.
Mustaches generally like to hold a wooden stick about a meter long about the thickness of the wrist.
First, he walked up to the mischievous students one by one and asked solemnly, "Why don't you study hard?"
"I, I'll borrow an eraser from him. Xu Hui didn't dare to look up. For fear of offending the majesty of the mustache, he whispered a little stammered.
"Borrow an eraser? what kind of eraser do we all use, and can the eraser be used to erase your 'hippie smiley'?" asked the mustache jokingly.
Whenever this time, the voice of the female student in the front row who loves to make a small report will always appear in the ears of the whole class, and report to the teacher in a squeamish voice: "Teacher, he used a knife to cut the eraser into small pieces the size of mung beans, and threw us with the eraser when we were studying, which affected our learning." ”
"Hahahaha......"
As soon as the female classmate's voice fell, it caused the whole class to burst into laughter.
I don't know if it's the little girl's squeamish way of speaking, or the naughty behavior of the male classmate who cuts the rubber and throws the female classmate.
Even Xu Hui, the initiator, was suffocated by this atmosphere, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, he trembled all over, and described it in the words of the "Baiyun" teacher, "It's quite uncomfortable!"
Who made Xu Hui have a slight affection for the little girl who complained? Why else would he throw her?
"Laughing, you're still smiling so brightly?"
While speaking, the mustache used the prepared wooden stick to beat Xu Hui's ass as a "troublemaker".
"Knock, knock, knock......"
"Laugh, make you laugh, laugh well!"
"Let you make trouble again, don't study hard!"
Listening to the sound of "knock, knock, knock" spanking, I felt as if the stick was falling on my buttocks, and I couldn't help but think of the scene of being beaten by the county master in the costume TV series.
"Come on! This son has a hateful face and a stubborn heart, he must be the same thief as the party, and he will give me a heavy responsibility for the twenty boards, see if he recruits or not?"
"Adult, the small people are wronged......"
"Drag it out...... Slashed!"
"Ah, my lord, isn't it only twenty boards?"
"Oh, yes! Twenty boards!
......
Forehead...... Straight to the point.
"Don't fall into the hands of the mustache!" I muttered silently.
The mustache kept hitting more than a dozen strokes before he stopped.
"Will you dare in the future?" asked the mustache, panting.
It seems that disciplining others is also a particularly physically demanding sport, and it is indeed a bit difficult to keep up without a certain sports foundation.
"Don't dare. Xu Hui said timidly.
"Louder, I can't hear you!, where is the excitement from when I borrowed the eraser?" "Mustache" suddenly shouted at him, raising his voice.
"Don't dare!" At this time, Xu Hui had already turned into a frosted eggplant, and thought: "I was just beaten, if the voice is loud, will I do it again?" In order to cooperate with the "mustache", he could only reply with a slight increase in his voice.
"Let's go back, next ......"
"Little Mustache" is like Zhong Kui of the underworld, intimidating the "little ghosts" in the 198 class with his own unique majesty.
"Corporal punishment of students is wrong. ”
There must be friends who will think like this.
But I would say that corporal punishment was very normal and common in those days.
Due to the influence of education level and ideology, even if parents, schools, and leaders of the education bureau know about the teacher's corporal punishment of students, they will only turn a blind eye, and most of the time they think that it is the student's fault, and the teacher only plays a role in supervising and disciplining.
What's more, when many parents know that their children are being punished, they will even have such arguments:
"The teacher bothered you to beat and beat you hard, this kid is usually disobedient at home, you discipline me well. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm responsible for breaking it, it must be my child who made trouble and caused you so much trouble......"
Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, corporal punishment is a means, not an end, but it did have the effect of establishing authority in that era.
Moreover, the positive effects far outweigh the negative effects.
Looking back, most of the students who have the closest relationship with teachers are those who are often "served with sticks" by teachers, rather than those who are excellent in character and learning.
At this time, the characteristics of "filial piety under the stick" were slightly reflected.
In addition, Mustache's teaching level and teaching ability are naturally among the best in the whole school, second to none, and have been highly praised by the majority of teachers and students.
Later, with his strong support, I became one of the members of the class committee, and it was a very special position, which was called "disciplinary committee".
I also participated in the knowledge contests of the class and the school, which can really be said to be, some unforgettable memories.
Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, that is, my good brother, Peng Chao, is an absolute strange man.
At that time, I had already started morning self-study, and I had to read in the morning every day.
Peng Chao loves to sleep lazily, can't get up every day, and only goes to school at the end of self-study in the morning.
The teacher used all kinds of tricks and methods - beating, scolding, punishing the station, thinking about the wall, cleaning the toilet for a week...... can't have any real effect, Peng Chao still goes his own way every day, and never drags mud and water when he is "late".
Of course, we are not in the same school, and we are certainly not a class teacher.
His homeroom teacher had no choice but to ask Peng Chao to call his parents to come to school, of course, calling parents is one of the most feared punishment methods for all students.
Peng Chao brought his mother to school the next day, but this time he was late with his mother.
"Hello, teacher, I am Peng Chao's mother. Peng Chao's mother went straight to the head teacher's office.
"Come, sit down, I want to tell you about Peng Chao's learning status. The homeroom teacher saw that Peng Chao's mother was dignified and decent, and felt that she was a cultivated person, so she opened the conversation directly.
Peng Chao, a child who studies well, has a good brain, and usually has good test scores, but there is a small shortcoming, that is, he is late for early self-study every day, and he comes to the classroom slowly every day when the morning self-study is almost over. The homeroom teacher looked at Peng Chao's mother's expression.
"Well, you go on. Peng Chao's mother listened patiently.
"It is said that 'the plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning', especially for students, the morning is the best time to read, as teachers, we hope that children can cherish this short learning time and make good use of it, so that the grades can be better mentioned, right?"
The homeroom teacher saw that Peng Chao's mother was still "quiet", and thought that she had won the approval of her parents to a certain extent, so she began to continue without scruples:
"To tell you the truth, I tried all kinds of means to get Peng Chao to get rid of this habit of sleeping lazy and let him come to self-study in the morning, but there was no substantive effect at all, so I didn't have a choice but to think of inviting you over, I hope our teachers and parents will cooperate together to get rid of this little problem of his, what do you think?"
