Chapter 70: Collective Petitions
Today Principal Lan is at the school. In fact, since the outbreak of the epidemic, he has been at school basically every day, except for going to the city for meetings. I can't tell what he's busy with every day, or what he's thinking, but it's longer than staying at home.
He sometimes wears gloves and carefully tidies up the campus, sweeping away the fallen leaves and dead grass that come from nowhere. Sometimes he would go from classroom to room to see which door panel was broken, fix it with tools, which window glass was broken, measure the size, and reinstall it. Other times, or sitting in the office by yourself, frowning, thinking about something, writing something; Or, sitting in a corner of the campus, lighting a cigarette, squinting, thinking about things, and staying for a long time; Or, like a patrolling guard, look around to prevent any special situations from happening.
He's here to stay. It's like guarding a beloved child, silently sticking to it. He didn't need to be remembered for what he did, and he never reported some minor expenses.
A group of parents came to the school gate, and he was the first to know about it. Besides, this wasn't the first time they'd come to him. In the past week, I have been receiving a few parents almost every day, listening to them count the various rebellious behaviors of their children at home.
Principal Lan is old, and when he hears it, he gets angry, and as soon as he gets angry, his blood pressure soars. He was also worried about the students' poor academic performance, but he still had to show a very calm appearance and try his best to calm the impatience of the parents.
However, in today's situation, Rao is far-sighted and always prescient Lan School, but he was also unexpected.
Because the people here are simple and simple, the parents' thoughts are also very simple. They never regard themselves as outsiders, and they are all like their own family members, just like their own families, and they go straight to what they say. Even if there is any conflict with the school occasionally, they are used to fighting alone, where do you know what unity and cooperation, and collectively petition!
So, what is this sacred, how can it have such a power - to bring so many parents together, to unify their thoughts, to act in unison?
Principal Lan hurriedly came out to greet him.
Flower Shadow and Yan Zheng also rushed over as soon as possible.
In order to prevent and control the epidemic, the school has long been closed management, and the teachers and himself use their keys to open the door when entering and exiting the campus, and then lock it casually.
However, the gate of the school was too low, and the courtyard wall was made of adobe mud and stones. Pointing at them, in fact, no one can stop them.
A group of people had already entered, with banners written with a brush saying that the school was inactive and asked to return to school.
It is commendable that everyone has become more conscious and knows how to wear masks.
The first one was Du Jiang's father, whom Huaying recognized during his home visit. Du Jiang is the top student in the Huaying class, smart, very smart, the first in the stable grade, the first in the town, the proud son in the eyes of teachers and parents, and the envy of his peers.
However, when Huaying visited Zhou's home two times ago, he found that he was not in a good state and looked listless, which was almost the same as before. Talking to him and doing his ideological work, I learned that he was addicted to online games and couldn't extricate himself. Du Jiang was also in pain. Originally, he felt that with him, he would be able to control all this, and he would be able to play the game in moderation and proportion, and he would never be addicted. He even once sneered at his peers who abandoned their studies due to game addiction, but he never imagined that he would also become a puppet of online games. is such a smart one, and he can't control his addiction.
Yushan is closed and backward, and people don't accept psychological counseling, and they haven't even heard of it or recognized it. Therefore, the professional psychological counseling equipment in the Huaying apartment building was not brought over. However, she is good at psychological counseling, and every time she talks to him, she will take a long time, but she always repeats it. Huaying found that Du Jiang was actually somewhat obsessive-compulsive, which may have something to do with his stubborn personality of being too demanding of perfection. Just like he treats learning, it is not an ordinary competition, it is the kind that must have an absolute advantage, and he must exceed the second place by several points before he is willing. So much so for the game, he must conquer all the virtual opponents, he must clear the level again and again, otherwise he feels very frustrated, in reality he is the king, proud of the crowd, how can he allow himself to be the one who loses in the game?
Slowly, reality and games, he really couldn't tell the difference. Others are looking for a sense of existence that cannot be found in reality in the virtual network world, but he gave up the sense of achievement in reality to kill and fight in the virtual world to satisfy his desire for conquest.
Du Jiang's parents were very anxious. Because the family's expectations for Du Jiang are very high. Huaying always comforted them, saying, it doesn't matter, there is still time, the child just hasn't turned a corner for a while, after all, he is still young, and it is easy for such an excellent child to come out.
However, Hua Ying also clearly felt that the urgency of Du Jiang's parents had not diminished at all.
Once, Huaying tentatively said, don't be too anxious, in fact, the existing psychological counseling technology is still relatively sure of quitting Internet addiction, but it really can't work, we ......
Before she could express her thoughts clearly, Du Jiang's father interrupted her: "What? Counseling? You mean my son has a mental problem? A teacher, watching children play games and become addicted, can't be controlled, and says that let children see a psychiatrist, are you still worthy of being a teacher? ”
Flower Shadow was sarcastically speechless, unable to argue at all. It was also at that time that Hua Ying felt the irrepressible impatience in the hearts of Du Jiang's parents.
Du Jiang's father was literate and the only junior college student in the village. It's a pity that because the family is poor, his parents are sick and need to be taken care of, so they can't go out. Later, when I married my own son, I had a concern, and I couldn't go out of the mountains.
Until a few years ago, when the child was older, he remembered his experience when he was young, and he was really unwilling, so he went to the town to do business. However, this time, because of the epidemic, there was no way to open, and I thought that I happened to be at home with my family, but I never thought that my son was addicted to games and panicked.
"Principal Lan, Principal Lan!" When they saw him come out, they called out to him.
With a kind smile on his face, Principal Lan said kindly, "What's wrong? Folks, why are you still working like this? What a problem can't be solved! ”
Du Jiang's father was the first to say: "Principal Lan, you said, our family Du Jiang, is it the pride of our school, right?" If you take the high school entrance examination in the city, do you have to point to him, right? That's the hope of our whole family! You see, taking an online class has made the children addicted to games. In the past, the children in our village did not have mobile phones, but it is good to have mobile phones, and they learned to play games without learning much knowledge! Tell me, what should I do? Our parents can't keep an eye on him, besides, the parents are in charge, he doesn't listen, the family is restless every day, the miasma is smoky, the school is clean, how can there be such a reason? We strongly demand that the school be responsible for the return to school, at least for those of us who have problems! People say, isn't it? ”
"Yes! Schools should be responsible, and they can't do nothing! The other parents chimed in.
"Okay, okay, we're actually preparing for the resumption of school!" Principal Lan said kindly.
"No, we can't wait any longer! We ask to have our children back in school next week! Everyone shouted again.
"Listen to me, be quiet!" Principal Lan's voice was drowned out in the chaotic voices of everyone, and the others were also forced to retreat step by step, and their steps were unsteady.
Yan Zheng supported him from behind. He used his arm to block the parents who came forward.
"Everyone, be quiet! Everyone, be quiet! "The solemn voice was loud and loud, like thunder. He said: "We will study it immediately, and the school will definitely give everyone a satisfactory solution!" Let's disperse first! ”
Hanaying also said: "What do you mean, we understand, we will consider it, and we will give you an answer tomorrow, okay?" ”
The crowd remained unrelenting, and had no intention of dispersing.
"What's the fuss at school? If you don't prevent the epidemic at home, come out and scream, is it too long? The stern shouting came from the back of the crowd, clearly into the ears of the flower shadows.
Director Sun came with several village cadres from the village committee. He peeled through the crowd, walked to the front, and said apologetically to Principal Lan, "Old Principal, I've made a mess for you!" ”
Principal Lan shook Director Sun's hand and said, "It's okay, the parents' feelings can be understood." ”
Director Sun also said to everyone: "Home epidemic prevention is a helpless measure in the special period of the country; Online teaching is also an emergency countermeasure for the education department in a special period. Even if you don't contribute, you can't affect harmony and unity at this juncture! It's all scattered! It's serious to go home and look at your own children! ”
