The principal sat in the reception room with a sullen face, looking at his watch frequently. The police officers from the police station had already drunk more than a dozen cups of tea. Zhou Mingming's head teacher had finished all the words he could say and had nothing more to say. The atmosphere in the reception room fell into an awkward silence.
The Dean of Studies looked at the sky and said to Zhou Mingming's homeroom teacher, "Teacher Jiang, please call the student's parents and ask them if they can still come. Are they planning to just give up on the child?"
Teacher Jiang was furious. Resigned to her fate, she picked up the phone again and was about to hit the redial button when there was a knock on the door. The assistant principal and Lin Yi were standing outside. "Principal, Zhou Mingming's parents are here."
The head teacher breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile: "Mingming's father, nice to see you again. How many times have we invited you here this month?
The child has not changed despite repeated teaching. Although junior high school still falls within the scope of nine-year compulsory education, if this continues, it will greatly affect the school's daily teaching work.
Our principal, director, and police officers are all here. Regarding Zhou Mingming's disciplinary decision and future education, our school will have a detailed discussion with his parents."
Teacher Jiang was extremely annoyed, but she still had to bite the bullet and communicate this matter. If Zhou Mingming continued like this, she, an excellent county-level teacher who had been teaching for more than 20 years, would probably be forced to resign by this classmate.
Lin Yi searched the original owner's memory and remembered that every time the original owner was invited to the school, he basically followed the same routine. He would patiently listen to the teacher's complaints, apologize and compensate the teacher, the school, and the classmates, then call the brat over, scold him first, and then start beating him when he got angry. Then the teachers and classmates would stop him when the victim couldn't stand it anymore, and finally the big things would be reduced to small things, and the small things would be forgotten.
He maintained his original personality and immediately stated: "We will definitely cooperate with the school's work. No matter what punishment Zhou Mingming is given, we will accept it. We will immediately apologize to the classmates and teachers who were hurt, and we will compensate him for the things he damaged."
After saying this, he glanced around the reception room, but didn't see Zhou Mingming, so he asked, "Teacher Jiang, where is Zhou Mingming?"
Teacher Jiang looked at the principal and the director of teaching in embarrassment. This parent of a student was like this every time. He had a good attitude when admitting his mistakes and never acted recklessly when it came to compensation. However, he didn't know how to educate his child. He always pulled the child over and beat and scolded him in front of many people, but it basically had no effect. The child was still behaving the same way the next day. But now, he couldn't ask the school leaders and the comrades from the police station to watch him beat the child.
"Mingming's father, the school's opinion on this matter is that we hope you can take your child back home first. At this stage, Zhou Mingming may not be suitable for the school environment.
You can take your child home to adjust. If he's ready, he can come back next year. We'll keep his student status and let him repeat the year. It won't affect his grades. After all, being last in the grade doesn't mean he can't fall behind.
Teacher Jiang spoke very tactfully. In fact, she had a lot of straightforward words she wanted to say to this parent, but due to professional ethics, she had to hold it in.
Lin Yi understood. The child was not expelled, but the school suggested that he be suspended. Looking at the situation today, if he insisted on not agreeing, it would at most be a temporary breakup. The next time, or the next time, the same result might still be unavoidable. The school's patience had probably reached its limit.
Thinking of this, he made a decision in his heart.
"Okay, Teacher Jiang, and all the leaders, I'll take the child back first. I'll send him back after he's finished teaching me."
Teacher Jiang was surprised. Did they agree so easily? If she had known it was so simple, she would have suggested it earlier. You know, over the past year or so, her hair has turned a lot grayer because of this student. She used to be an outstanding teacher at the county level every year, but now she can't even be rated as an outstanding class in the school. She is so worried.
The principal and the dean of studies also thought that they would have to talk a lot today, and that the Democratic Progressive Party member from the police station was the foreign aid they forced to stay. They didn't expect that this parent was so understanding and easy to communicate with.
The principal touched his hair, which had been messed up by Zhou Mingming's hair, and politely extended his right hand to Lin Yi. "Thank you, parents, for your support of our school. I believe that with your company and guidance, Zhou Mingming will definitely return to school soon. Teacher Jiang, please take this parent to the classroom to help Zhou Mingming tidy up his desk and see them off for me."
"Okay, Principal, Mingming's father, please follow me." Teacher Jiang took the lead and stepped out of the reception room.
The police officer inside also took the opportunity to say goodbye to the principal: "Principal Zhang, Director Wu, we are leaving now. Please call me later if you need anything."
......
The classroom of Class 4, Grade 8, was empty. All the students had gone home after school. Lin Yi followed Teacher Jiang into the classroom and saw his eldest son Zhou Mingming standing on the podium. Under his feet were broken pieces of chalk and chalk dust.
It's confirmed, this kid definitely has some issues, ADHD and irritability are inevitable.
Teacher Jiang coughed, and Zhou Mingming immediately straightened up. When he looked again, he saw his father coming. The expression on his face instantly fell, and he kicked the chalk on the ground under the desk.
Teacher Jiang said, "Zhou Mingming, pack your schoolbag, take everything that belongs to you from your desk, and go back with your dad."
Zhou Mingming glanced at his father and didn't move.
Lin Yi said to Teacher Jiang, "I'm sorry to bother you again today. Your job is really not easy. Fortunately, there are not many children like mine. If we had more troublesome children like this, teaching would become a high-risk job. Why don't you go ahead and do your work? We've already kept you busy for too long. We can handle the rest ourselves."
Seeing that he hadn't exploded at the child like before, Teacher Jiang assumed he was being patient and would probably give Zhou Mingming a beating later. She said with some concern, "Mingming's father, the child isn't a child anymore. Simply beating and scolding him is likely to backfire. You should be more careful about your approach, exercise some restraint, and communicate properly with your child."
Lin Yi smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang. No matter what, I've raised him this big, and he's my biological child. I know my limits. You can go first."
Teacher Jiang walked away, looking back every few steps. Zhou Mingming stretched out his hand behind her, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Lin Yi: "Don't buy on credit. You don't like studying, right? Pack up and let's go out to celebrate. You won't have to come here anymore."
Zhou Mingming was nervous: "What, what does that mean?"
Lin Yi snorted coldly: "What do you mean? Don't you have any idea what you did?"
Zhou Mingming's eyes sparkled with surprise, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his facial expression was about to lose control, but he still said hesitantly:
"No... not really!"
