Chapter 119: Parent-Teacher Conference
For the students, the last string to tighten is the afternoon parent-teacher conference. However, this is not necessarily the case for the students of the eighth class of high school, because most of them have made more or less progress in this exam. And the few left, such as Huang Tianming, their families don't care about their grades.
And at today's parent-teacher meeting, Qin Yi's vanity as a human being was quite satisfied.
"Today is the first time I have met with parents as a new class teacher, and of course some parents have already seen me in previous home visits. Qin Yi said with a smile, "First of all, I want to assure you parents that your children are very good young people, but they haven't received the right education. ”
As he spoke, Qin Yi waved the transcript in his hand: "Through this exam, it can be seen that although the overall results are still not ideal, most of the students have improved." So I hope that parents don't worry, as long as their children are properly guided, they will not be worse than other students in the class. They can learn well, they just don't want to. You need to guide them in the right way, and if you don't know the right way, I hope you will believe me and leave it to me......"
"Today I will not criticize any student for not doing well, because the student did not do well because parents and teachers did not give the right guidance, here I hope that parents can give me support and trust in my work. ”
"I don't just want my students to further improve their studies, but I also want to guide them on the right path in life. I always say to my students that grades don't matter and won't affect your life, but knowledge is always useful, whether you want to be an athlete or a cartoonist in the future. ”
"I know it's not in line with what parents want their children to do in the future, but in the current situation, there's no question that you need to find a way to get them to learn first, so it's not a conflict. Children are not clear about the future path, and they are also in the process of exploring, so it is necessary to let them explore their future while acquiring knowledge......"
Qin Yi was talking eloquently on the podium, at this time some students had already gone home early, while some students were waiting in the school for the parent-teacher conference to end and go back with their parents, worrying about what the teacher had said to their parents.
Although Qin Yi's theory is not very agreed with by many parents, they obviously do not want their children to do some work as cartoonists or professional gamers in the future, but the effect still makes many parents very satisfied, they are very surprised by the improvement of their children's grades, and expressed their gratitude to Qin Yi after the parent-teacher conference.
"Our children have never been willing to study hard, a while ago they played games every night until the early hours of the morning, and they didn't listen to what they said, but when they went back at night, they were studying hard. Dai Hang's mother covered her mouth with Qin Yi and smiled, "What method did Teacher Qin use to make him wake up?"
"It's just a reward system, your child is actually very smart, you don't have to use forceful means to make him learn, it will only make him disgusted. You respect his decision, and he will naturally respect your opinion, so let him study properly on the premise of supporting him, and he will be able to meet your requirements for him in terms of grades, do you understand what I mean?" Qin Yi said with a smile.
"Hmm, do you want me not to stop him from playing games?" asked Dai Hang's mother.
"It's not that simple, if your child says what he wants to do in the future, please support him, but also remind him that he needs to have a certain level of knowledge to do it, so that he can get a certain grade in exchange. Qin Yi explained, "Your child is very smart, as long as he puts a little effort into his academic performance, he can improve a lot, so you force him to study will only make him not want to study at all and cause his grades to decline, but a moderate slowdown can improve his grades, isn't it great?"
Dai Hang's mother nodded and left, and then the parents of the other students came forward to chat with Qin Yi.
"Teacher Qin," Li Sisi's mother, Zhang Mengjie, bowed to Qin Yi slightly, "I bothered you a while ago. ”
"The family should be fine now, right?" Qin Yi asked with a smile, Zhang Mengjie nodded and smiled: "Yes, thanks to you." Sisi's grades have also improved a lot this time, this child can learn very well if he is willing to study, his grades have always been at the top of the class in junior high school, it was me and her father who were negligent, thanks to you for waking me up. ”
"You're so polite, this is what a homeroom teacher should do. Qin Yi said with a smile.
After chatting briefly with other parents, a man with a short stature and a somewhat humble look suddenly stepped forward and greeted Qin Yi with a smile: "Teacher Qin......"
Qin Yi knew that he was Zhang Feng's father, Zhang Jianlin, who only had a junior high school education, and was now working as a welder in a company, so he looked a little inferior, and it was precisely because of this that he hoped that his children would not repeat the mistakes of the past.
"Hello," Qin Yi shook hands with him and bowed, Zhang Jianlin also bowed, and bent very low: "My child has always been very rebellious before, always causing trouble to teachers and classmates, but recently he has suddenly gotten better, and his exam scores have improved a lot this time." Thank you so much......"
"A person's worth is not determined by his grades, and likewise a person's quality is not determined by his academic qualifications. Qin Yi replied with a smile, "You are a great father, please puff up your chest." ”
Zhang Jianlin smiled awkwardly, but there was some gratitude in his eyes.
Qin Yi continued: "Zhang Feng, he is actually a little shy, and children at this age need more affirmation, please and your wife affirm what he is doing now." Don't forget that what your child will become in the future is determined by how you guide him now. ”
"Yes, what the teacher said is that in the end, it is a cultural person," Zhang Jianlin said with a smile, "My child will ask you." ”
"Thank you for your trust. Qin Yi said with a slightly wry smile and bowed.
Most parents are very happy about their children's progress and are very polite to Qin Yi.
However, there are also some parents who are not so polite, such as Zhang Yali's mother Zhao Yuan, who had an expression of "my daughter's excellence has nothing to do with you", and she didn't even bother to look at Qin Yi.
Another example is Huang Tianming's father, Huang Guobin, he was actually very surprised to be able to come to Qin Yi, but before leaving, he glanced at Qin Yi and said coldly: "Do your part well, don't do anything superfluous." My son will inherit my business in the future, and no matter what you say, it will not change that. ”
"Your son wants to surpass you, aren't you happy about this?" Qin Yi asked with a smile.
But Huang Tianming just snorted coldly, and then turned his head and left.
