With a warm smile, Teacher Zhou slowly began to speak: "Our school's upper-grade students have a monthly exam every month to assess their learning progress. Originally, first-year students didn't participate in the monthly exams, but since you all want to see who studies better, I can apply to the school leaders to have our class participate in the monthly exams as well. What do you all think?"
"Okay, sure," the first-graders, seemingly oblivious to the world's complexities, replied in unison. Finally, someone asked, "Teacher, what is an exam? And how are the results determined?"
"Good question." Teacher Zhou first praised the student with a smile, and only after the student's face lit up with joy did she continue, "The so-called exam is simply presenting the knowledge you've learned over a period of time in the form of questions. You have to complete these questions independently, without relying on the textbook. For each question answered correctly, you get the corresponding points; for each question answered incorrectly, you get no points. In the end, we will tally the scores, and whoever gets the most points will be first, the second most points will be second, and so on, with the lowest score being last. I wonder if everyone understands?"
Having never taken a test before, the first-graders only vaguely understood what they were hearing. However, the student who had been praised earlier didn't want to leave the teacher with the impression that he didn't understand, so he immediately shouted back, "I understand!"
Even children have a competitive spirit. Once someone starts explaining things clearly, the other children can't help but chime in, saying "I understand" in unison, regardless of whether they understand or not.
Seeing a group of little kids who were still looking blankly at each other, yet eagerly answering "I understand," made Yun Duo laugh so hard she almost burst out laughing.
However, there were indeed students who understood. They immediately pointed at the cloud and said loudly to Teacher Zhou, "But teacher, in this way, won't she still have to stay at school and attend classes with us?"
Upon hearing the student's words, the other students also realized what was happening and immediately started talking all at once.
"Teacher, we should compete with her now, and only after we've finished can we send her home so she won't embarrass us."
"Yes, yes, teacher, we should compete against her right now."
"That's right, that's right. There are no girls in other classes, only one in our class. It's so embarrassing."
"Yeah, it's so embarrassing. What if people from other classes ask us why we study with girls? We wouldn't know what to say."
"Yes, yes, teacher, let's compete now and let her go home."
...
Teacher Zhou wasn't angry. She simply stretched out her hand, pressed her palm down slightly, and then said, "Class, please be quiet for a moment and listen to what I have to say..." She paused, then added loudly, "Quiet, quiet..."
After the students in the classroom fell silent, Teacher Zhou said, "Students, do you know what is the most important thing, the thing that you most need to learn, as a student?"
The students below all shook their heads, and some even answered out loud without thinking.
"have no idea……"
Teacher Zhou nodded and continued, "Teacher tells you that the most important thing for a student to learn is classroom discipline."
