In fact, there are pros and cons to working in education. Since teachers often need to speak loudly, throat discomfort is almost an occupational disease for teachers. If they are teaching a graduating class, they have to accompany students for a whole year. As for the advantages, there are two holidays, winter and summer. Being able to travel freely during the holidays is something that people in other industries envy. In addition, the work is relatively stable, which is better than other industries. But it is only stable. You have to know that if a person's working environment is confined to the campus, it is inevitable that he will be out of touch with society over time.
People always have to make long-term considerations for their careers. If the enthusiasm for work gradually fades, but there is still no reason to convince yourself to stay, should you consider changing jobs? In the past few years since graduation, Ethan Wei has rarely contacted his former classmates, and only occasionally learned about other people's situations through the Internet. Although he rejected comparisons in his heart, he was reluctant to give up when he saw other people's careers flourishing. The hesitation between staying and leaving troubled Ethan Wei for a long time.
But just when he was hesitating, the arrival of the new principal finally made him decide to stay and continue teaching.
Ethan Wei remembers that Wang Jun showed her strong side as soon as she arrived at the school. She first applied for a sum of money from the Education Bureau to renovate the school from the inside out, transplanting magnolia and maple trees to interplant on the campus. After creating a "garden-style" campus environment, she also significantly increased the salaries and benefits of faculty and staff, and the teachers in the school were full of energy.
Ethan Wei looked around the western-style campus and recalled what Wang Jun said last night. This place had become a castle she had built, so of course she had to do her best to defend it.
As soon as he entered the office, Ethan Wei saw Ma Zhen and Adam Shi chatting. It was just seven o'clock in the morning, and besides the two of them, there were three female teachers in the office.
Ethan Wei came to his desk. Ma Zhen, who was sitting next to him, turned around and said, "A student in your class jumped off the building yesterday."
"News spreads fast." Ethan Wei smiled bitterly and put his bag on the table.
"I just heard about it by chance."
"How is it a coincidence?"
"I heard it from the security guard in the message room when I came here." Ma Zhen said lightly.
"Bad news travels a thousand miles."
"Who died?"
"Noah Han."
Ma Zhen let out a long "Oh" as if he had suddenly realized something. He was Noah Han's chemistry teacher, but he didn't have a deep impression of him. His grades were in the middle, he looked smart, but he was always unwilling to work hard. There seemed to be many boys like him in high school.
"Why do you want to jump off the building?" Adam Shi asked.
"Who knows? Students nowadays are so mysterious all the time. I don't know what they are thinking about."
Ethan Wei sighed: "I thought about it for a long time yesterday and couldn't understand why this happened. He usually looked normal."
"There must be a reason, we just can't see it."
"I think he was probably confused. Students of this age tend to go to extremes, make a mountain out of a molehill, and make wild guesses. Maybe he encountered something that made him feel so depressed that he climbed to the roof and jumped off."
"For example?"
"For example, emotional aspects." Adam Shi's little eyes kept blinking.
"Him? Will he?" Ma Zhen asked back.
"Of course not, he's a very normal guy." Adam Shi paused, "He's the tall and thin one, I taught him in my freshman year of high school."
Adam Shi taught politics, but after the division of classes into arts and sciences, Noah Han was no longer in the classes that Adam Shi was in charge of.
"No, I mean, girls will have feelings for him?"
"It's because they can't do it that they can't think straight. Don't just look at their appearance. They are in adolescence, this is normal. What do you think, Teacher Wei?"
Ethan Wei smiled helplessly: "I have no idea from last night till now. I thought that as a class teacher I knew the students better, but now I know that this 'understanding' is too superficial."
"Did you know yesterday that the student's parents found you?" Ma Zhen continued to ask.
"Um."
"Does Wang Jun know?"
"she knows."
Ethan Wei didn't want to involve Wang Jun, but it seems that this is not possible.
"What did she say?" Adam Shi pulled his chair closer.
Ethan Wei glanced at the female teachers sitting in the distance, who didn't seem to care about the conversation here.
"She was surprised but decided to wait and see what happened."
"That's right. This matter has nothing to do with the school. Taking the initiative will only cause disadvantages. This student is really troublesome. Even his death brings so many problems."
"His family must be the most upset when something like this happens. He seems to be an only child." Ma Zhen yawned. Maybe there weren't many people in the office, so he opened his mouth wide.
"What a shame, choosing this path at such a young age."
Ethan Wei nodded.
Last night, Wang Jun said that Noah Han's parents would come today. What would they say? If the parents who were suffering from the pain of losing their son asked loudly, how would he answer? He said he was prepared, but no one would easily encounter such a thing, so what could he do to prepare? From last night to now, all Ethan Wei could do was to keep himself as calm as possible.
"Teacher Ma is not in a good mood."
"I played with my kids last night and went to bed a little late."
Ethan Wei glanced at the photo frame on Ma Zhen's desk, which showed a boy wearing a sunflower baby suit.
"How old are you?" Fang Haiming asked.
"Three years old. That's when he starts to act up."
Adam Shi picked up the photo frame and examined it, then said with a smile, "Take care of yourself."
Ma Zhen put one hand on the protruding fat on his waist and pretended to be very weak: "No, I'm getting weaker and weaker."
"Really? Maybe you're too tired lately." Ethan Wei asked.
The science examination will be held soon, and the teachers of science classes have indeed been working overtime recently.
