12. Thoughts
It's July, and the students are entering the final revision stage.
In this regard, it is also one of the obvious teaching gaps between rural middle schools or Beishan Township middle schools and urban junior high schools.
In junior high schools in the city, there are generally a large monthly exams every month, and the results of each monthly exam will also be ranked by the whole school and the class, and then the students' examination rooms will be allocated according to the results of each monthly exam.
In terms of teaching, there are many benefits to such monthly exams.
In summary, there are about two points.
First, the monthly exam can improve the psychological tension of students, promote students to better learn and master knowledge, and at the same time, it can also make students familiar with and adapt to the rhythm of the exam, so as to avoid students from playing abnormally when they reach important exams, and then the monthly exam can also allow students to have an opportunity to reflect, reflect on the problems in the exam, reflect on the problems in learning, reflect on their learning attitude, and so on.
Second, the monthly examination not only tests the students' academic performance, but also assesses the teachers' phased teaching effect, which can mainly improve the teaching enthusiasm of teachers, and at the same time, teachers can also find out what problems students have in time through the monthly examination results, so as to better and selectively teach in the future.
In short, monthly examinations are a very important part of secondary school teaching.
However, in general, there are no monthly exams in rural middle schools, at least in Beishan Township Middle School, and there are two exams per semester, midterm and final, and there is no ranking of grades.
There are two reasons for this.
One is that there are no conditions, and the other is that it is not necessary, and the second point is the main reason.
There are not many students in each class in the school, taking Tang Wan's class as an example, there are barely five or six of the thirty or so students in the class now, and there may be only one or two who really study seriously.
In this case, it really doesn't make sense to take the exam so often, let alone rank results.
Of course, this is a bit unfair to students who study seriously.
But there is no way, the school will not change the overall teaching status because of a very small number of students.
Unless your grades are particularly good, good enough to attract enough attention from the school, good enough to be admitted to the top class of the county key high school, but obviously there are no such students in Beishan Township Middle School.
As a result, the final exam has become the most important way for the very few students in Beishan Township Middle School to test their academic performance, and they all work extra hard to review.
However, this effort is relative.
After all, they are only thirteen or fourteen-year-old children, their self-control ability is not so strong, and when the learning environment is so poor, it is not easy to learn it, and it is a bit too much to have too high requirements.
In addition to this part of the students, at the end of each semester, the vast majority of students who do not study in the school are even more unscrupulous.
Engage in objects, fight for fights, skip class, skip school, skip school......
In short, the end of the semester is the time when these students have the worst discipline, and then it is also the time when students drop out of school at their highest level except for the beginning of the semester.
Just like Tang Wan's class, there are three students who haven't come to school for almost two weeks, and it is estimated that they will not come next semester.
The students are like this, and the teachers at the school are actually similar.
The courses have basically been taught, the school does not have a unified workbook, and the subject teachers of each subject have become more relaxed, and even go to work day by day.
is like old Feng Tou'er, because he retired at the end of the semester, he basically doesn't come to work much now, Zhang Dongming has almost not seen him.
Of course, there are also teachers who are busier than ever, such as Tang Wan.
In addition to giving serious lectures every day, as the head teacher, Tang Wan has also been very responsible for supervising the students' self-study, at least the self-study discipline of the class should not be so chaotic, and it should not seriously affect the students in the class.
So these days, it is common to see some students who disrupt classroom discipline being called to the office by Tang Wan.
And then it may also be the reason for the end of the semester, maybe one day these students will never come to school again, Tang Wan did not reprimand those naughty students as before, they are basically easy to talk and persuade, and some will chat for a while.
"Ma Hongxu, went to the game hall again yesterday, right?"
In the office, Tang Wan was educating the students again, her expression and words were very gentle, and then the boy named Ma Hongxu kept his head down and didn't speak.
This student Zhang Dongming is quite impressive.
He used to go to Tang Wan's class to listen to the class, and every time he sat next to this student, he probably studied a little, and when he was in math and physics classes, he could usually listen for a while.
Yesterday after school, because they didn't go back until almost half an hour late every day, when Zhang Dongming and Tang Wan went back, they happened to see this student coming out of the game hall from a distance.
It's nothing, it's normal for boys to love to play games.
Zhang Dongming always went to the game hall when he was in elementary school and junior high school, what Street Fighter, Three Kingdoms, Dinosaur Kombat, Double Dragon, King of Fighters series, etc., he fought very well, of course, he was beaten up because of this at that time.
Now Tang Wan's boys in her class are naturally the same, often taking advantage of lunch breaks, school or skipping class to go to the game hall, Tang Wan almost doesn't care much about this, and she can't control it, but for this Ma Hongxu, it is an exception.
According to Tang Wan, this Ma Hongxu studied very well and was very smart in elementary school, and he has always been a member of the class learning committee, but he was not admitted by a few points when he was promoted to junior high school, and then his family conditions were not very good and he had no money to pay for himself, so he went to the township middle school.
In the first half of the first year of junior high school, Ma Hongxu was also used by the former head teacher as a key student to cultivate, but it is a pity that this student became addicted to playing game consoles as soon as he entered middle school, and he was very addicted.
For this reason, the head teacher at that time criticized and educated Ma Hongxu many times, but unfortunately it was useless, and finally he had no choice but to give up this student.
However, for Tang Wan, after all, this used to be a learning child, especially a boy who studied well in elementary school is even rarer, so after taking over as the head teacher in the second year of junior high school, Tang Wan has always cared about this student.
In the past year, she has been tired of patiently teaching again and again, although the effect is not great, Tang Wan has never given up on this student.
"I've been playing for two years, and I haven't played enough, so I went in the game hall to see it, is it that fun?
Tang Wan looked at Ma Hongxu, this student just kept his head down and didn't speak.
"The teacher also knows that boys like to play games, and he doesn't have to say that you can't play, the teacher just hopes that you can learn a little bit, even if you take out one-tenth of your strength in playing games, is it that difficult......?
"You must have done farm work at home, you know better than the teacher, you feel good now that you are learning to play games every day, what about the future? Can you always play games? Have you thought about it......?"
"Our class, I don't talk about people like Lu Ye He Fulai, their family conditions are good, and they can live well after not studying, at least they don't have to farm. I don't talk about them like Han Dong and Zhao Zijiang, people haven't studied at all since they were young, and they don't have any thoughts about this at all, but are you the same? Hmm? Ma Hongxu? You still want to be a farmer like your parents, and live a poor life with your face facing the loess and your back to the sky all your life......
"Ma Hongxu, it's the third year of junior high school, you are very smart and have a foundation for learning, the teacher believes that as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to be admitted to high school and university, and then the teacher will be happy for you, and your parents will be even more proud of you, isn't that good......?"
A full eighth lesson.
Tang Wan said a lot to this student today, and even a little nagging, although the student never raised his head, and never said a word.
The student left, and Tang Wan held her chin and looked out the window, not knowing what she was thinking.
Zhang Dongming originally wanted to remind her that it was time to go back after work, but looking at her appearance, he didn't say anything in the end.
The sun is shining, and the trees are quiet and windy.
In a burst of joyous sounds, the figures of the students left the campus one by one, and Tang Wan's gaze finally withdrew from the window.
"I just found out that being a teacher is really tiring. Tang Wan sighed.
Zhang Dongming looked at Tang Wan and said with a smile: "How can I remember that Teacher Tang seems to have said that the string in your heart is strong." ”
"Mr. Zhang's memory is really good. ”
"Isn't it?"
Tang Wan smiled and didn't say anything.
Zhang Dongming closed the book in his hand: "Actually, being a teacher is not so tiring, mainly because being a teacher like Mr. Tang is a little tired." ”
Tang Wan looked up at Zhang Dongming, and was about to speak, but then as if she suddenly thought of something, her big eyes rolled slightly.
Ahem, ahem-
Zhang Dongming coughed twice and reminded him, saying that this girl likes to stare at others at every turn, especially those big watery eyes, which are too easy to make people think.
Tang Wan came back to her senses, she wasn't as embarrassed as last time, she didn't say anything, she smiled generously, and got up to get ready to go back from work.
"Thank you. While cleaning up, Tang Wan said casually.
"You're welcome. Zhang Dongming said.
"Do you know what I'm thanking for?" Tang Wan asked.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I'm not welcome you to thank you. Zhang Dongming said.
"You ...... man"
"Be reasonable and polite, right? ”
"The face is so big. ”
"Generally average. ”
"Third in the world, right? ”
"That's a bit of an exaggeration. ”
"What then?"
"Fourth, it's dead. ”
"yes, then you don't eat at night. ”
"Why?"
"I haven't eaten yet, I'm dying. ”
“。。。 ”
"yes, I'm doing this for your own good, forget it, no thanks. ”
"Mr. Tang is so understanding. ”
"That's ......"
As he spoke, the two of them left the office and the school, and their figures slowly disappeared at the end of the road.
