tenth year of teaching

Chapter 57 Challenge
District-level teaching and research activities were finally arranged in the second week of October. When Chu Xia saw a middle-aged man who was younger and more handsome than Lao Ren standing on the stage, the first thought that came to his mind was: "Something happened to Lao Ren."

The woman's intuition has always been very accurate. The man said, "Due to physical reasons, Mr. Ren has temporarily replaced him in the high school chemistry teaching and research activities."

The man called himself Wang and Liwei.He comes from Wanwan Middle School in Xialing Town, Mid-Levels District. He is of medium build, calm and capable.Next, he introduced himself a little. Chu Xia was a little distracted, "What happened to Teacher Ren?" '

As soon as the teaching and research session ended, Chu Xia couldn't wait and was about to rush out, but Wang Liwei stopped her.

"Teacher Ren said you have great potential and have solid basic skills. This year there is a basic skills competition for young teachers in BJ City. There are two places for chemistry in our district. The competition will be officially held around May next semester. Teacher Ren recommended you to me. What do you think? ?”

Chu Xia was a little dazed, it was all about the basic skills competition, such a high level.Thinking of the mistakes made in the district-level public class last year, she shrank her neck.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Wang Liwei continued: "Teacher Ren still has great expectations for you. This time I plan to recommend you and Zhang Yunru from No. [-] Middle School. Both of you performed well last year. You can think about it carefully. If there is no problem, I will apply." Up."

Chu Xia looked up at the man and said, "Thank you, I will work hard."

"Okay, I will send you some documents, check the requirements first, and collect some relevant information. When we have time for district-level teaching and research, we will find a few experienced people to teach you. Take your time, this is a learning opportunity ." Wang Liwei asked happily.

After saying goodbye, there was no excitement in early summer.She took out her cell phone and dialed the familiar number.

"It's early summer, me? It's nothing big. I'm taking care of it at home now. Don't come, you guys are quite busy too."

"I'll be there in half an hour, please wait for me." Before Teacher Ren could continue to refuse, Chu Xia hung up the phone.The voice on the other end of the phone was very weak, which made her feel a little flustered.I rode my bike to the supermarket to buy some fruits and milk products, and hurried to Teacher Ren’s house.

This is an old building from the 90s. The units only have holes and no doors. The corridors are filled with various small advertisements.Go up to the third floor and see the 301 dark green railing security door on the east side.Chu Xia looked up and down, but there was no doorbell.She raised her hand and patted the iron gate, and there was a faint reply from inside.After a while, the wooden door opened from the inside, revealing a woman with a tired face and gray hair between the bars.

"Is it early summer?"

"Is it me, Master?"

The woman opened the door and said politely: "Teacher Ren has been nagging you for a long time, and there is nothing important. Why are you so busy coming to see him?"

"That's right. Can't the apprentice look at the master?" Chu Xia pretended to be relaxed.

"You kid," the woman slapped her on the shoulder and scolded her. When she lowered her head, she saw the fruit in her hand. "Look, you came just as you came, and if you want to buy anything, Teacher Ren will be very happy just to see you."

Chu Xia exchanged greetings, put the fruit at the door of the kitchen, and followed his wife into the living room.Teacher Ren was half lying on the armrest of the sofa, his face darkened. He had not seen her for a few months and he had lost weight.He seemed very happy to see Chu Xia and waved her over.

"Come, sit here, old lady, make me a cup of good tea. There is green tea brought by my son on the cabinet in the back room. It will be good to drink that summer."

"Don't keep Master Mu busy, I just came to see you." Chu Xia quickly took two steps and sat next to Teacher Ren.She looked at Teacher Ren with red eyes.

She smiled and said, "Look how you did it, why are you still sick?"

"No, I lived so casually in the first half of my life that I didn't even catch a cold. Who would have thought that this time I would lie down and say I couldn't get up."

"Hey, it depends on what you said. You are usually too busy, so I will take the opportunity to have a good rest this time. When you feel better, I will treat you to fish."

"Okay, I haven't caught a fish in two months, and my palms are itchy." Teacher Ren smiled widely. If he doesn't smoke and drinks occasionally, it's not a bad hobby. His biggest hobby is fishing.

Chu Xia knew very well that Teacher Ren would immediately become energetic as soon as he talked about fishing, and they chatted with her for a long time about where the fish were recently and which company had new poles.While listening to Teacher Ren's chatter, he thought of ways to make Teacher Ren happy.The master's wife sat on the edge and looked at the master and apprentice happily. The simple two-bedroom apartment was filled with warmth.The small birdcage hanging on the balcony heard one or two crisp bird calls, and the black and white cat on the windowsill was stretching lazily, squinting its eyes and changing its position to continue sleeping.

When she was leaving, Chu Xia quietly asked the teacher's wife who sent her out.

The teacher's wife's expression dimmed instantly, she shook her head gently and said, "The doctor said don't suffer in the hospital and enjoy yourself at home."

Chu Xia's heart skipped a beat.

When talking about this incident at Lao Geng's house over the weekend, Lao Geng sighed: "It's hard for Lao Ren to be so talented and work hard for half his life, but he still didn't get through it in the end."

"You should pay attention to your health and don't work too hard. You developed diabetes from fatigue before. Now that your child is older and your uncle is back, you shouldn't... work so hard." Chu Xia blurted out.

"I know, silly girl, I'm over 40. I'll apply to go to the laboratory in two years. I really can't do the front desk job anymore. Don't delay other people's children." Lao Geng rarely touched her head gently. smiled.

Chu Xia felt a little sour, and made a face that made Lao Geng laugh.

If I have to replace you when I grow up, I really hope time can pass a little slower. I don't want to be in your position so soon and so early.

Throughout early October and summer, I have been busy collecting various information. With the notebook, the school's Internet speed has improved.The teaching materials collected from the Internet have increased hundreds of times, but many of them need to be screened, checked, and reorganized.The explosion in the amount of information has led to the rapid growth of young people who like to use the Internet and computer operations.The writing of test papers, the downloading and selection of materials, and the production of courseware are handy for young people, and they quickly adapted to the use of multimedia in the class.Through intuitive forms such as courseware and videos, classroom efficiency has also been greatly improved.

In contrast, the older generation of teachers still stick to a piece of chalk, a textbook, and a test paper. The students' reactions to the two different classes are completely different, and their interests are becoming more and more inclined to the younger class.

Principal Zhang proposed at the team meeting that the academic affairs department should introduce several courses on information integration for young teachers, and also let the old teachers see that if the times change, the teaching methods will also need to be changed.

Song Xiaoqiang took office as a new official and was preparing to vigorously promote academic affairs, so he happily agreed.

Time passes leisurely, some people have nothing to do, and some people want to double their time.Whether you like it or not, everything is going according to the established track.

Are you: moving forward or falling behind?Adapt or eliminate?Working hard or muddled?
