Chen Qiangwei and the other four said gratefully, "Thank you, Teacher Li. Thank you for your hard work. We will definitely study hard."
Then Teacher Li arranged for them to follow the corresponding teachers based on the grades they would teach in the future.
This was an extremely new thing for Chen Qiangwei and the others. After being students for so many years, this was their first time as a teacher.
Moreover, being able to study in Shengli Primary School is a very rare opportunity for them. No one wants to waste it, so they all concentrate on watching how the teacher teaches on the podium.
After the class, everyone benefited a lot, and at the same time they also understood the difficulties of teachers. While teaching, teachers have to control time accurately, pay attention to classroom discipline and mobilize students' emotions at all times.
Because of some chaos in the past few years, teachers dare not be too strict with students, especially those in grades five and six. There are no such things as slapping the palms or making them stand in the corner as punishment.
They are at the age where they admire heroes and powerful people, but they don’t know how to distinguish between right and wrong. They just think that what many people do is right, and there is nothing wrong with them following suit.
Chen Qiangwei couldn't help but respect the profession of teacher. No matter what era, teacher is an admirable profession.
Take the past life as an example. China in the 21st century is a country with peace and prosperity, but the students at that time did not respect their teachers as much as the students of the previous 20 or 30 years.
At that time, tablets, mobile phones, and computers were rampant, and short videos emerged as a new force. Some people dared to shoot any low-quality videos in order to attract attention and win fans.
Children learn those bad things better than adults, such as "fuck, idiot, sixth grade, funny, bunker, OJBK, etc."
In addition to this, the children in the video are particularly rebellious when they go to school. Disobeying the teacher's discipline is the least of their worries. There are also many who call the teacher a fool behind his back.
Chen Qiangwei frowned. She taught sixth grade. Would those kids be acting like little idiots? If they really dared to do that, she would have to teach them a lesson on a dark and windy night.
Primary school hours are as follows:
Four classes in the morning: the first class starts at 8:00, each class is 45 minutes, the fourth class starts at 10:55, and school ends at 11:40
Three classes in the afternoon: first class at 1:30, third class at 3:20, school ends at 4:05.
Art classes, music classes, physical education classes and labor classes are usually scheduled in the afternoon.
There are two art classes, music class, physical education class and labor class every week. The labor class is scheduled at the last class on Monday and Wednesday.
Today is Monday. Chen Qiangwei and her classmates are honored to participate in an unforgettable labor class with all the teachers and students of Shengli Primary School.
The weeds in the school had been completely pulled out during the two labor classes this week, and even the vegetable garden behind the school was no exception.
This afternoon's labor class is to go to a nearby village to collect firewood, weed, herd cattle, cut grass for pigs, etc. The task of the sixth grade that Chen Qiangwei is in is to cut grass for pigs.
Looking at the familiar backpack, I felt like "fellow villagers meeting each other with tears in their eyes."
Ahem, back to the topic, their task today is for each person to cut a basket of pig grass, which will be directly given to the pig farm in this village.
The sixth-grade teacher walked calmly in front, the students were in the middle, and Chen Jiahui was at the end. Judging from the teacher's expression, this was not the first time she had done this job.
Along the way, the students looked around, some were talking quietly, and occasionally chuckling. Some students looked depressed. These students came from better-off families and didn't have to do much work.
A woman took Chen Qiangwei and others to the place where they usually cut grass for pigs and left. She had to go to work.
The teacher in charge chose a place with lush pig grass and relatively open space, and asked the students to line up in two rows facing her. She took out a sickle from her backpack and taught the students how to cut pig grass. She demonstrated it twice and then let the students do it themselves.
"Students must be extremely careful when handling sickles. Keep an arm's length between each other and be careful not to hurt yourself or others."
Some students were originally from the brigade under the commune. They had learned to cut grass for pigs since childhood, as if it was an innate instinct. They cut the grass quickly and in large quantities, and soon they had cut a large handful.
Some students were more delicate. They picked up a few strands of pig grass slowly and carefully rubbed them back and forth with their sickles. After finally cutting a small handful, they wiped the sweat from their foreheads with a look of relief.
There were also some who were doing this job for the first time. They curiously followed the teacher's movements and cut slowly. They put a handful aside after cutting it, and put it in the backpack when they had collected a large handful. They felt a great sense of accomplishment after finishing it.
"This isn't that difficult. I'll definitely be able to finish the task before school is over."
Although Chen Qiangwei had never cut grass for pigs, after several months of training, she became a good hand at farm work and completed the task in no time.
Seeing Chen Qiangwei's quick movements, the teacher in charge had a much higher opinion of her. At first, she thought Chen Qiangwei, a good-looking, dames-dressed educated youth from a big city, would be a pampered child, but she didn't expect her to be such a skilled worker.
Although it was already past three in the afternoon and the sun was past its strongest, the temperature of the sun in the south was still high enough to bake people.
Some students couldn't bear it anymore after cutting halfway. One little girl continued to work with red eyes, but she remained strong and didn't cry. She didn't complain to the teacher or ask for help from her classmates.
There were also a few spoiled ones who offered candies as a reward to their country classmates who were used to farm work to help them. Those country students helped with blushing faces, but did not ask for any reward.
"We are classmates, and it is our duty to help each other."
These words made those spoiled students blush, and they stammered to thank and apologize to them.
Chen Qiangwei observed these students carefully and found that the students in this class all had good character. Although some of them were a little spoiled, they were also sensible.
With everyone's help, the sixth graders successfully completed their task before class ended. After taking the pig grass to the village pig farm and handing it over to the pig farmer, they gathered enthusiastically.
Students whose homes are nearby told their teachers and went back first, while students who live in the commune agreed to go back to school together before going home.
Along the way, the children enthusiastically shared with people around them what they had done in the class, what skills they had learned, and whether they had completed the task.
Labor classes improve students' living skills by allowing them to personally participate in and experience labor, and can also help them understand how to respect labor and workers, and have a deeper understanding of the phrase "labor is the most glorious."
Back to school, watching the students leave, a day at Shengli Primary School has passed like this.
Of course, that's only for other teachers. Chen Qiangwei and the other four have extra work to do.
They held the lesson plan books and textbooks given by Teacher Li. They had to finish the lesson plans for the first and second classes of this semester tonight and hand them in to Teacher Li for inspection before eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
