Chapter 35 Becoming a Tutor
Principal Sun sat down on the single sofa next to Zhang Zhan, with an elegant posture, and said with a smile: "Some time ago, because I went to a neighboring province to inspect several famous schools, I have never had time to care about your situation. What do you think? Have you recovered? Have you caught the murderer? ”
Zhang Zhan sighed in his heart, thinking that he had come to me to ask about this matter. It seems that the relationship between Principal Sun and my father is really good, otherwise how could a high-ranking principal come to ask about the situation of an ordinary teacher below.
So Zhang Zhan replied: "Xie Lu, Principal Xie cares, my body is completely fine. Unfortunately, the person who hit me was never found. The police said there were no clues and there was nothing they could do. ”
Principal Sun nodded and said, "I heard that someone came to you for trouble again, and the instigator behind it is still a student from our school. Could this incident have anything to do with the last time you were beaten? ”
When Zhang Zhan heard this, he fell silent for a while. In fact, since the Hu Feng incident and the Ma Xiaodan incident occurred one after another, he has begun to suspect that most of the things that his younger brother was beaten to death are also related to the students in the school.
But at the same time, he did not believe that a student would be so cruel as to dare to murder a school teacher and commit such an unforgivable crime.
So after careful analysis, he judged that it should be an accident. The student probably just wanted to teach his brother a lesson, and the purpose was definitely not to kill people. But the younger brother's body was too weak, and the beater didn't know the severity of the attack, so it caused an accident.
But no matter what, his younger brother died because of this, and Zhang Zhan couldn't let go of this matter. The beater must pay the price in blood for his recklessness. And the one who instructed the man to beat his brother, or the student, also got the lesson he deserved. Otherwise, how could he make his younger brother, who was already under Jiuquan, feel at ease and blind?
Of course, at this time, Zhang Zhan naturally wouldn't tell Principal Sun about this. He only needs to investigate and find this matter alone. So after being silent for a while, he shook his head and said to Principal Sun: "I can't say it well, but on the surface, the two things are not necessarily related. It was only later that Hu Feng had a conflict with me, so that he was hot-headed and committed this kind of retaliation. ”
Principal Sun sighed lightly when he heard this, and said, "It's better to be like this, otherwise it's too terrible." Occasionally, a student retaliates against the teacher, and it can be assumed that this is the student's own problem. If there are such incidents of students retaliating against teachers one after another, then we must reflect on whether there is something wrong with the education methods of teachers in our school? ”
Zhang Zhan suddenly became a little embarrassed, because in just half a month, there were two incidents of students coming to him to find trouble. And that's not even counting the beating of his brother, because there is no evidence at the moment that the student was also responsible. And when Principal Sun said this in front of him, was he criticizing or reminding him that he had a problem?
Before Zhang Zhan could figure out whether Principal Sun was criticizing him tactfully, he heard her continue: "I just went back to work at school yesterday, and I heard a lot about you. In addition to Hu Feng's classmate, there is a girl named Ma Xiaodan in the high school who seems to have a conflict with you? ”
Zhang Zhan's heart sank, thinking that Principal Sun's coming to me was really related to Ma Xiaodan's matter. So he hurriedly spoke: "Principal, I have to explain the situation to you about this matter, this Ma Xiaodan"
Before he finished speaking, Principal Sun had already smiled and waved his hand, "You don't need to say it, I already understand everything." You handled it very well and I am very satisfied. ”
Zhang Zhan snorted, and suddenly couldn't say any more.
And Principal Sun continued to smile: "Xiao Zhang, I also watched you grow up since childhood, and I have criticized you more than once for your bad problems in the past. But Ma Xiaodan's incident made me see your changes, which really gratified me. ”
Zhang Zhan had no choice but to smile, thinking that Principal Sun also knew about the bad things of his younger brother. However, her criticism of her brother is not recorded in the diary. It can be seen that the younger brother didn't take her words seriously, and he is still used to doing his own thing.
Principal Sun added: "The way you treated students in the past, I always said that it was a bit too strict. They are all children, and even if they make mistakes, we as teachers should help them correct them just like their parents did. Our aim is to educate our students so that they can take the right path in life. Blind punishment and criticism will not do much effect. I'm glad you recognize that. And I've heard that you've changed more than that. Several teachers are saying that you really don't feel the same person at all. Xiao Zhang, tell me, what is it that makes you suddenly change so much? ”
As he spoke, Principal Sun leaned forward and looked at Zhang Zhan with a curious look on his face.
Zhang Zhan had no choice but to cough and said, "Principal, I'm ashamed to say that I was a person with a problem in character in the eyes of my students and colleagues. Over the years, I've gone my own way, and I've never considered other people's feelings. But in recent times, I've been confronted with a series of retaliatory actions from students who are dissatisfied with my actions, and I've finally begun to reflect on myself. As you just said, occasionally a student retaliates against the teacher, and it could be the student's own problem. If this happens one after another, it means that the teacher may also have a problem. So I reflected on what I had done in the past two years as a teacher, and found that there were really a lot of problems. I was so ashamed that I was determined to change. ”
When Principal Sun heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head again and again, his eyes showed a look of relief, and he sighed and said: "You know that you can reflect on yourself and have the determination to correct your shortcomings, which requires great wisdom and courage. Xiao Zhang, you have impressed me. ”
Zhang Zhan could only smile and say, "Where, what I'm doing now is not good enough, and I still need your guidance from the principal." ”
Principal Sun smiled and waved his hand: "You have done a good job, if it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the courage to admit my shortcomings." Well, you don't have to be modest, your efforts are seen by everyone. And in view of the changes you have now, there is one thing that I can leave to you with confidence. ”
Zhang Zhan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Principal Sun said: "Yes, I have a friend who has been asking me to introduce her to an English teacher to teach her son recently. But I've been very busy all this time, and I don't have time to help her with this. I just came back yesterday and this friend of mine called me again. I can't help it, I thought of you in a hurry. At that time, I heard that your kid has changed a lot recently, and he is no longer the attitude of ignoring people before. So I think it's good to leave this matter to you. How's that, is there any interest? ”
When Zhang Zhan heard that he was a tutor, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, at first he didn't know what to do, and he thought it was a big deal. Since it was ordered by the principal, of course there is no way to refuse. Besides, teaching students English is not difficult, it should be possible.
So Zhang Zhan nodded and said, "No problem, leave it to me." When does this friend of yours need me to come to her home to help her with her child's homework? ”
Principal Sun stood up, walked back to her desk, and said, "You can discuss this with her yourself, I'll give you a business card, and then you can call her." By the way, this tutor is not in vain. This friend of mine is rich to death, and in terms of price, you're going to have to slaughter her. Otherwise, wouldn't it seem that the teachers of our third middle school are too cheap, right? ”
