Whoosh—
Upon hearing Teacher Zhou's words, the classroom erupted in excitement. If it weren't for the earlier mention of 'classroom discipline,' many students would likely have started shouting. Even so, some couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
Most boys are competitive. Originally, they only planned to target Yun Duo, wanting to send her home because she was someone who would embarrass them. Now, everyone wants to be number one so they can become the class monitor.
The classroom became noisy again, but Teacher Zhou didn't mention classroom discipline again. Children can't be constantly restrained. Besides, since he had said that whoever had the best grades would be the class monitor, he had expected the students to whisper among themselves. It would be abnormal if no one spoke up!
Feeling that the students had reached their peak of excitement, Teacher Zhou raised her hand again and pressed it down, saying, "Alright, students, everyone, please be quiet." After the classroom quieted down again, Teacher Zhou continued, "Then let's settle on the class monitor position for now. We don't have much time left in this class, so let's get to know each other first."
"Let me go first. My surname is Zhou, and I am your math teacher and also your homeroom teacher. You students are all very lively and confident, which I really appreciate. I hope you can continue to maintain this, study hard, and strive for excellence every day. Okay, that's all I have to say. Now, please, the student on the far right in the first row, stand up and introduce yourself. By the way, due to time constraints, I won't call out names one by one. Just stand up in order and introduce yourselves. Alright, students, go ahead."
"Hello everyone, my name is Zhao Bin, you can call me Xiao Bin..."
"Hello everyone, my name is xxx..."
...
Because of their previous experience of "fighting together against a common enemy," few of the children in the class were shy. They introduced themselves one by one, saying just a few simple words, such as their names. After that, they would wink and make faces at their deskmates, just as Teacher Zhou had described, very lively.
Since she was already sitting in the last row, Yun Duo was the last to introduce herself. She didn't provoke anyone or anything, just like the other students. She simply said her name and then prepared to sit down.
Before she could even sit down, Teacher Zhou's voice rang out: "Yun Duo, come sit in the first row at the front."
"Huh?" Yun Duo was a little reluctant. She looked at Teacher Zhou and said, "Teacher, can I sit here? I can see."
Teacher Zhou shook her head and said, "Sit in the front." Then she continued, "Class, since we still have some time, I'll rearrange your seats. We'll do it in order of height, with shorter students in the front and taller students in the back. There's no other purpose; I'm doing this mainly to prevent taller students from blocking the view of the blackboard from the students in the back. Aren't you all going to compete to see who studies better? Of course, we need to be fair, right?"
Originally, these students chose their deskmates either from people they knew and wanted to sit with them, or from people they found pleasing to the eye. So when Teacher Zhou first announced the seating arrangement change, everyone was a little reluctant. But after Teacher Zhou explained the reasons, they all agreed, leaving Yun Duo with no choice but to move to the front.
