It’s a general Monday. However, there is still something valuable to record. One of my co-workers told me that he is planning to argue some problems at teachers’ appointment on this Friday morning. But in my view, the problems he wanted to argue aren’t an important thing to every teacher in the meeting. I advised him not to argue problems which do not concern other teachers in the appointment, and he should discuss with our principal first to find out the better way to solve the problems. At last, he accepted my suggestion and talked with our principle this afternoon. I don’t know if the problems will be solved, but I’m sure that before doing any thing, thinking twice is better than acting roughly.

One student was crying when talking with her mother on telephone in the teachers’ office (Our school offers students an free telephone call in teachers’ office.) After she hanged up the phone, I asked her what happened. She told me that the Maths teacher in the cram school was too strict and she didn’t want to go to the cram school any more. So she argued about this with her mother in the phone. She said that teacher would bet her when she didn’t know the answer of his question. And when she encountered a question in Maths, she was afraid to ask him any question. And what’s more, her score in Maths didn’t have any progress in the middle exam. Personally, I don’t think that she should go to the cram school and she was just wasting her parents’ money. So I told her that she can study Maths by herself and save the money. If she has any Maths questions, she can ask me. I will do my best to solve the problems for her. I also gave my mobile phone number to her and told her ‘If your parents have any problem about this, please just call me. I’m glad to discuss this problem with your parents.” She stopped crying and promised me that she will do her best to make a big progress by herself.
Helping people is one of the happiest things in the world. Be a teacher, I can help people everyday, and it is the worthiest thing that I can do in the world, isn’t it?
