Chapter 17 Cram School

Cram school December 2009

You're in fifth grade this year, and it's been a particularly busy summer. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Because you'll be in sixth grade next year, the school is preparing you for further education. The school intends to let these students in the middle of your grades go directly to the bridging class, and then go straight to Yulin Middle School in junior high school. I also hope that you will be like this, the school is close to home, convenient and familiar. But when I asked for your opinion, you said: "I definitely don't go to the junior high school of Xiaojiahe in Yulin Middle School, many students smoke and fall in love in the junior high school, and the school spirit is too bad." How do you know that I won't be able to get into the fourth, seventh, and ninth (the three most famous key middle schools in Chengdu) or Brown North Middle School? You underestimate your son too much. "I know that you will never be able to get into a prestigious school with this grade, but you are so resolute and confident, I don't want to hit your confidence, I hope you maintain this confidence, and I also want to give you a chance.

This year, you have also worked hard. In order to fulfill your promise, you attend cram schools that you never wanted to attend. Top student school, Xiaojiahe street tutorial school, etc. The cost of tutoring a year is close to tens of thousands, but as long as you want to study, my mother is willing to do my best. Nowadays, the school curriculum is too tight, and there are so many things in class that you may not have time to digest - "cramming" education has always been criticized in China, and these mothers can understand. You are also not a gifted student, so the tutoring arranged by your mother for you supplements the deficiencies of the school to another extent, and also consolidates the knowledge you have learned in school. How much I hope you can understand your mother's painstaking efforts, and how much I hope you can use "diligence" to make up for "clumsiness", improve your grades, and go to a good junior high school!

When you first started cram school, you worked hard, but later on, you have taken it as a burden, and you don't finish your homework in class, or you scribble and deal with things in one go. Especially in mathematics, you ignore it. Mom knows that your math has always been difficult, but are you sure you're putting in 100 percent effort? In fact, my mother is the same as you, I used to be bad at math, physics and chemistry in junior high school, but if my mother didn't know how to answer that question, she would ask Second Sister Su in the senior next door or ask the teacher the next day. I had to figure out why the answer to that question was that one. I still remember that whenever I figured out the correct answer to a question, the joy I felt could really be described by the idioms "my heart blooms" and "I smile with joy", which is also incomparable to any gift. Although the process of solving the problem is hard, my dear child, there is no reward if you don't pay hard, if you don't study hard, how can your grades improve? Can you not be ashamed to ask questions when you don't understand something? No one will laugh at a person who loves to learn, and no teacher will be impatient with a student who loves to ask questions. My darling, when will you learn the truth of learning? When will you truly understand the power of knowledge? When will you grow up to be a real man?

Your grandfather used to encourage your mother with the following words, I wrote it down and gave it to you, hoping that one day you can wake up after reading this diary, reflect on yourself, and take action!

The edge of the sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold!
