The price of growth

The title at the beginning of this article: I have a young girl in my family. I want to write about my daughter. I thought the subject was too old-fashioned at that time. I wanted to consider a unique topic, but then I thought I'd let this text be as ordinary as my daughter, so I didn't change it. But it was written, but it was written on my students. No wonder the growth of my daughter is closely related to the growth of my students. So it changed its name to growth.

Since the reform and opening up, decades of depression in the heart has finally been vented, for a time the world wants to be extraordinary. Parents all over the world want their children to be successful. Even selfish desires fascinate many Chinese people. It is clear that the child does not have that talent, but he is arranged to learn the piano today and to learn painting tomorrow. on a rest day, he should be arranged to learn a foreign language in the morning and taekwondo in the afternoon. Some even arrange for children who are still in primary school to learn two foreign languages. Originally, children have a strong thirst for knowledge, but it is encouraged by parents that children who have just been in school for a year or two begin to get tired of learning. The root cause of this phenomenon is selfish desire. Parents subconsciously want their children to fulfill their shattered dreams. To say something that is not very pleasing to the ear, the old ones are all like this, but also want to let the small ones have any leap! It has long been decided in the genes, but also fantasize about good things.

It is said that success comes from 99% hard work and 1% talent. But without that 1% talent, even with 99% of hard work, you can't succeed. Although the point of view is somewhat extreme, it will be different if the world can determine the concept of success according to its own actual situation. Then success can become: I want to be successful! But the Chinese people are unwilling to accept the success commensurate with them, and they all fantasize about becoming a dragon into a Phoenix. It is inevitable to seek defeat alone!

My daughter is in high school. Somehow, in my memory, the doll who was still riding on my neck was in high school. Since my daughter has not been born in the womb, I have been the director of the official class with no privileges or even treatment in the world. At first, the head teacher did not receive any treatment, but later he got an allowance of 12 yuan a month. Over the past 20 years, the average social salary has increased nearly 30 times, but the head teacher's fee is still 12 yuan and has not increased by a point in 15 or 16 years. According to people familiar with the matter, many motions to raise the head teacher's fee were rejected. The leader said that the head teacher has many advantages. There is no need to waste the country's money.

Leader! The children of the leaders are in key schools and show filial piety to their teachers from an early age. All they know is that there are many advantages for teachers. In their consciousness, teachers all over the world are the same as officials all over the world! How do they know that there are poor children to go to school, and the teachers who teach poor children have to pay tribute to their students? In my first few years as a head teacher, that is, when my daughter was still in her infancy, I devoted myself to the students. The monthly head teacher's fee, not only can not add a bag of milk powder to my daughter, but also give me some of my lunch money to those students who can't find their father or mother. As I refused to bow my head and beg for help, I gave up my old face and begged several single female colleagues to take home my female students who had no father or mother at that time, so that they would not wander outside.

Although I was young at that time, I was so tired. Otherwise, it would not have been 20 years or so. When I was just over 20 years old, I would have been more than half white. In those days, I went out early and came back late. The child didn't wake up when he left in the morning, but he was asleep when he got home in the evening. If you catch up with the graduating grade, you have to live on campus and have classes on Sundays (then endless Saturdays). I often miss my daughter in the middle of the night, borrow a bike and ride for an hour and a half and go to my father-in-law to visit her daughter (the wife and daughter are staying at the father-in-law's house). It made both parents-in-law unhappy. There are often complaints in the ear: who should be a teacher like him? Yes, who will be the head teacher and lead three classes at the same time. We not only have to take care of these naughty buns, but also have to prepare for the exam for the students in the experimental class.

I am an excellent teacher, but I am an unqualified father. I hardly took care of my children before primary school. The child is in primary school, through the former graduates put their daughter in a primary school near the unit, want to manage for a few years. I don't want to do the work of several people on my own when the school is restored. I had to transfer my daughter back to a nearby school and be picked up by my wife.

When my daughter was in primary school, the school often renovated to sell her children materials that were of little use and could be used or not. Because the family is poor, sensible daughters often come back without talking. Teachers often punish children for cleaning and assign homework to children who buy materials because they do not buy materials. Children often come back late from school. Once, when I used my office work, I went to my child's school and asked a student who had taught in that school to understand the reason. At that time, I forced myself to restrain my anger and let the child's mother go to school to negotiate with the teacher (if I had seen the child's teacher at that time, I would have beaten the teacher half to death).

The teacher knew that it was wrong, and then he did not dare to punish the children for cleaning after school, but he often punished the children to give homework to those who bought materials. And do not let their daughter take the final exam of their class. The child's mother came to school and asked the teacher to let the child take the exam. The child's teacher said that the school was settled. You can look wherever you like. I couldn't stand it. I called the child's teacher and told her: what they are doing is against the national law, and the local education administrative department has clearly stipulated to stop it. I don't care what the school rules are or not. if my child cannot take the final exam, he will use all his energy to make her and all her family disappear from the city. And I sent some friends as parents to the school at the same time to ask to see the teacher. And told them not to do it, but not to tell the school the names of their children, for fear of retaliation. Sure enough, the school asked her daughter and several children who did not buy materials to take the final exam. And because her daughter often assigned homework to the students who bought materials, she not only got the third place in the class, but also got the first place in the whole grade in math.

When the child was in middle school, he had to go to see the primary school teacher with his primary school classmates. I tried to stop the child several times and told my daughter that her primary school teacher did not admire her to see it. But I still didn't stop it. The child was tortured by the teacher in primary school and became mentally ill, and he was frightened as soon as he heard the teacher speak. I often forget the things arranged by my teacher in the morning. I was scared to cry when I wasn't ready. So after the child goes to middle school, he studies in the school where I teach. Although I strictly require the child to respect every teacher, I always prevaricate with the teacher that I will help the child implement this part of the content, such as asking the child to write what content and how many times. I never forced my daughter to finish the homework that the teacher gave vent to her emotions. My colleagues knew my intention for a long time, and they didn't dare to ask my daughter to do it directly. Instead, they tested the child once and asked her to write what she didn't know how many times.

In China, the number of classes in schools is very large, and it is very hard for teachers to do so. So I entertained teachers of various subjects in the name of my colleagues many times to thank them for their care of my daughter. But all this can't be done by an ordinary student's parent. Because the class size is huge, teachers treat them like this if they can't do it. If you want to meet this standard, the class size cannot exceed 30 students. However, in order to auction school campuses for their profligacy, most local officials squeezed students into several schools and laid off a large number of teachers, so that the quality of basic education not only did not improve, but also lagged behind. After all, the dead things of teaching equipment still need to be operated by teachers. Various places put up a small part of the money from the auction of the campus to equip the school with teaching equipment, which is called modernization. Deceive public opinion, deceive ignorant countrymen.
