Chapter 55: Entering Primary School
By the time we moved into our new home, it was time for Yangyang to go to elementary school. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liu Jia started to move around a month before enrollment, and he wanted Kaikai to enter the Normal Affiliated Primary School, which is recognized by parents as a good school. I didn't think about it so much, and according to the principle of the county education bureau's nearby enrollment, I sent Yangyang to a primary school closest to my home. I think that the main learning tasks in primary school are to learn addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and to learn and write Chinese characters. We who have just taken out a loan to buy a house obviously cannot afford more than 10,000 yuan in school choice fees, so we can only let Yangyang enroll in the nearest school.
I have heard that there are key classes in schools, and the teachers assigned to the key classes are the best teachers in the school! Although the education department has explicitly stipulated that it is not allowed to set up key classes in primary and secondary schools, in fact every school has key classes, and this is an open secret. Parents know that the purpose of setting up key classes in schools is definitely not only to improve the admission rate, but also to bring benefits to schools and teachers. Personally, I have the same attitude toward choosing a key class as choosing a good school, and I ignore it! Perhaps if a child is sent to an ordinary class in an ordinary school with insufficient teachers, it will be difficult for the child to get the first place in the county, and he may not be able to be admitted to a key middle school, but why do he have to take the first place? Why do he have to take the key school? In terms of study, I think that as long as the child works hard, it is enough, and it does not matter how many places he can get in the examination.
There is a difference between people and people's IQ, children who are born with a high IQ can easily get high scores in learning culture classes, and children with low IQ may have difficulty getting good grades after hard work. But the level of education is only one aspect of judging a person's overall quality, I have never been willing to judge a child's merits solely by school test scores, I think that as long as the performance is good in a certain aspect, the child can be said to be excellent. A child's growth path should not be a well-designed program operation process, but a process of free play. I don't care if my son succeeds in becoming famous in the future, I only care if he is happy. I hope happiness will stay with him forever.
On the first day of school, the campus was crowded with people, among which the number of parents was significantly more than the number of children, and my family was too, two to one, Lu Tao and I came to send Yangyang. We waited in line for more than two hours with our household registration books in hand before it was Yangyang's turn to undergo the identity check before admission. Yes, it is necessary to check whether he is a child within the responsibility of the school, and if the address is not in the area, he will be denied admission or pay a high "school choice fee". Our residential address is within the teaching area of the school, and we think that we can pass the examination normally, but we don't want the staff to check our family's household registration book, but we still get stuck! It turns out that our household registration address is still registered in the old house that has been sold, and we have not changed it in time, and literally we do not belong to the scope of the school. For this reason, we went to the sub-district office again, and from there we issued a proof of address, so that we were able to go through the enrollment procedures for Yangyang.
We received a class assignment sheet from the enrollment office, which was a small note with the class number of Yangyang's school, and we held this note and searched almost every corner of the school before we found Yangyang's classroom in a corner of the last row of the school. The classroom was locked, and there was a list posted outside the door, on which I found Yangyang's name, and saw a line of words: Parents and friends, after checking the name of the flower, you can take your child home, and the school will officially start tomorrow! After reading this notice, we will take Yangyang home.
But the next day, Yangyang suddenly developed a high fever, and I had to send him to the hospital. I have never understood the reason for Yangyang's cold and fever this time, the diet he has given him recently is also normal, the food is not heavy, the food is not cold, and there are a lot of clothes for him, there should be no cold factor, is it because he feels a little nervous when he goes to school in a new environment? Yangyang is not timid and afraid of life, how to start with nervousness? But Yangyang is sick, and a week in the hospital, not only missed the first lesson of school, but also missed a week of cultural class, but I am not in a hurry, I estimate, this week, the children in the first grade of primary school at most learned ten Alapai numbers and a few Chinese characters, which I can make up for him in an hour.
In the second week of school, Yang Yang came to school with a new schoolbag containing only one stationery box, because he had not received the new books yet. But when I brought him to the classroom he was assigned on the first day of registration, he found that it was full of students, and there were no empty seats, and when the teacher arrived at the classroom, I asked the teacher where Yang Yang was sitting? The teacher said that Yang Yang did not belong to this class, and I said that we saw Yang Yang's name in the list outside the door of this classroom on the first day, but the teacher insisted that Yang Yang was not a student in this class, and asked us to go to the Academic Affairs Office to inquire. When we went to the Academic Affairs Office to inquire, we found that Yang Yang's name was not on the list of first-year freshmen in the school! What was going on? I asked why, and the teacher at the Academic Affairs Office said that Yang Yang had been removed from the school because he had not reported for a week! I wondered why he had been removed from the school because he had not come for a week? Elementary school belonged to the compulsory education stage, and there was still such a thing as being removed? Didn't the news say that the education department would send people to mobilize those children who did not go to school? That was because I did not help Yang Yang ask for leave from the teacher? But on the day we registered, we only saw a list, but we didn't see the teacher, and we didn't know the teacher's name and contact number, and who to ask for leave? Should I ask the school office for leave? If that's the case, then I was wrong, but I can't remove Yangyang from the school just like that? Remove him from school and let him go to school? I questioned the school leader, and the leader's answer was that we thought we had voluntarily given up the school and went to another school. The school leaders said that their school does not come and leave whenever they want, and that they have to be approved by the Education Bureau if they want to come in. Although I am familiar with the principles of government office, in order to let Yangyang enter the school as soon as possible, I still took Yangyang to the Education Bureau, and then issued another note from the Education Bureau, and finally sent Yangyang to this ordinary elementary school with a very low reputation, and many people did not want to come to this ordinary elementary school with a very high reputation.
It's just that Yangyang didn't enter the class marked on the first day of registration, and changed another class, and the homeroom teacher was a college student who had just graduated from college, a young and fashionable girl, who looked like a dancer, not a Chinese teacher. However, my first impression of the new teacher was that I was satisfied, and I thought that fashionable young people were more active and would have fun teaching and that was exactly what I was looking forward to.
After Yangyang entered school, I didn't pay much attention to his learning situation except for picking him up every day, and I always thought that the textbooks in the first grade of primary school were too simple, and he didn't need my help to learn. I didn't think that a month later, I was invited to the teacher's office, and the teacher said that Yangyang never did homework! This is something I didn't expect, and when I got home, I asked Yangyang why he didn't do his homework? Yangyang said that he already knew how to do it, and he didn't have to do it! I said that the homework assigned by the teacher had to be done even if he could do it, and Yangyang asked why? I said that this is classroom discipline, how can you know that the teacher will know that you can? Yangyang said that he scored 100 points in the exam, which proves that he has learned everything, and I said that he has to do homework even if he scores 100 points, and Yangyang asked why? I said that students have to do their homework, they have to listen to the teacher, otherwise they are not good students, Yangyang still asks why?
Lu Tao has the same point of view as the teacher, believing that the responsibility lies with me, and I don't check the child's homework every day, while I always think that checking homework is the teacher's business, and I just need to do the good job as a mother. And it seems that this is not the case, parents nowadays have long been attached to the glorious duty of a tutor, and checking their children's homework every day is a more important job than their own work.
After listening to Lu Tao and the teacher's accusations against me, I reflected on it and thought that the responsibility was not on me, but on my mother! Since I was a child, my mother has never read my homework book, and she has not even asked me about the score of each test, and she has not even asked me about the score of each test, until I received my college admission letter, she also persuaded me to plant cotton with her, saying that I don't need to tutor anymore! Because I didn't have this kind of experience when I was a child, I kept up with the modern teaching mode. After realizing my mistake, I made a face-to-face promise to the teacher to check Yangyang's homework book every day when I came back.
But despite this, Yang Yang still can't complete his homework every time because he is not satisfied with the homework assigned by the teacher. I told him that I couldn't say that I was satisfied or dissatisfied with the homework assigned by the teacher, and that I had to complete it conscientiously! After that, every day after dinner, I would sit at the writing desk with Yangyang and watch him finish his homework. For example, a Chinese character is required to be written 20 or even 50 times, and 10 Arabic numerals are also required to be written on a whole page, and he also has to memorize texts, memorize ancient poems, and write diaries. Every time he made a handiwork, he could only complete it under my guidance, and I helped him design the layout and select materials, and then he drew and copied them. Because I didn't want him to be reprimanded by the teacher because he couldn't finish his homework. When I went to the school to attend the parent-teacher conference, I saw that there were more than a dozen selected handicraft newspapers pasted on the back wall of the classroom, and I could be sure that almost all of these handicraft newspapers were completed with the help of parents. This is also a good interactive project for parents and children, which not only allows children to get training in art and writing, but also allows children to learn a lot of extracurricular knowledge.
However, once, Yang Yang took back a beautifully designed handicraft newspaper that the two of us had spent a whole Saturday afternoon making, and he said that he had been reprimanded by the teacher, saying that the teacher did not let the parents help make the handmade newspaper, and let the students do it themselves! And the honest Yangyang when the teacher asked whether the handmade newspaper was made with the help of the parents, Yangyang admitted that it was, so he was ordered to redo it! Yangyang re-made his own handmade newspaper was given a low score, and he was worried when he said that he would do the handmade newspaper in the future, and then he would not worry about it in the future, and he would make a random one. People tend to be like this, and when they have no hope of getting a place, they simply drop out of the competition. Of course, I still asked him to do it seriously, and he said he didn't have time.
In this way, Yangyang's first setback since the first grade came from doing the manual newspaper, because the manual newspaper always got low scores, and the grades in other subjects also declined, which showed that his learning motivation was greatly affected. In order to encourage Yangyang, I later started to secretly help him do it, but it won't be as good as it was at the beginning, just ensure that he can score more than 60 points. But I think it's more important for a child to regain their confidence, and besides, most of the other children's handiwork is still done with the help of their parents, but the other students don't admit it.
