How are the grades?

(edited)
It has been nearly two weeks since the plague broke out in Macau. Every day, everyone hopes that the number of infected people will not rise again. These days are really hard to bear.


Anyone who sees me will be flabbergasted because now my hair is the longest in 30 years. Earlier, home decoration and various trivial matters prevented me from taking time to cut my hair. Unexpectedly, the barber shops in Australia were closed due to the outbreak of the plague. This made me, a flathead who is afraid of heat, feel the alternative trouble of fighting the epidemic. People with good deeds will probably suggest that I ask my family to help me trim or even shave it for a hundred times, but since now is an unprecedented period, in order to keep a memory, instead of rushing to deal with it, it is better to let it go. I'm counting the time when the crisis will be lifted for Xiaocheng, so don't be surprised when you see me next time. I hope I will still have short hair and not become disheveled or tied into a ponytail!

Many friends are reposting the video of a large number of citizens queuing at the inspection station yesterday morning. The cause of the incident is that employees in the gaming and construction industries are facing a number of new epidemic prevention measures, including that employees must present a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours before entering the workplace and The same-day rapid antigen test showed a negative result. As a result, a large number of citizens who wanted to protect their jobs flocked to the inspection stations at the same time, and the scene was chaotic for a time. In addition to the typhoon signal No. 1 yesterday, the sky suddenly turned dark and windy at noon. Some videos captured a large number of workers queuing up for inspection despite the wind and rain, in a very embarrassing state. Seeing that these citizens who obeyed the instructions were so wronged, anyone would be shocked, angry, and sad. In the afternoon, the above-mentioned measures to ask citizens to line up have been suspended. I believe it is to prevent large numbers of people from gathering again. However, anyone who sees those videos will have mixed feelings. The public who are rushing for words should not endure such miserable winds and rains.

It has been nearly two weeks since the plague broke out in Macau. Every day, everyone hopes that the number of infected people will not rise again. These days are really hard to bear.

Recently, we have spent more time with our daughter. If the elders deliberately ask her if she wants to go to school again, she will definitely provide a lazy standard answer and say no. This is a normal response of children to deal with repeated questions from elders, but it cannot be taken seriously. How can I miss my classmates and teachers after being stuck at home for more than ten days in a row? Before the semester was forcibly terminated, her daughter happened to have a big Chinese test, and she was automatically promoted in one night, but she really wanted to know how she scored in this test. She even kept thinking about the answering situation that day, speculating about the extracurricular questions and reading. Understand how much you have done right and how much you have done wrong.

My child's language learning has always been accompanied by me. In the past, I would set a time to urge her to review it, and I would also compile and print a complete mock test for her to practice. But this school year, I felt that I needed to cultivate her self-learning ability, so I gradually let her go and let her arrange her own time to study. I was only responsible for answering questions and no longer urging her as often as before. Then there are exercises covering all question types. Under such laissez-faire, strange things happened. In fact, her Chinese grades have been improving this school year. Later, she was more nervous than me in each grade. Of course, I will take the initiative to reward the students who have given the quiz papers and the results are satisfactory. Usually, I will go to the stationery store together, or go to the bookstore to ask her to buy a few extracurricular books.

In the past few days, she has talked about the language test many times. I think the children are concerned about more than the grades of one subject. After all, this semester ended so abruptly, some books are left in the school, many assignments have not been distributed, and I don’t know what will be shown on the score sheet. Students also have no chance to say goodbye or thank their teachers. This kind of extraordinary arrangement may not be easy for them to accept. It is a pity that adults in the whole city are too busy now, and they may not have time to work with them. The mind takes care of the child's emotions.

In fact, parents may wish to chat with their children more, but don’t preemptively express opinions, take some time to listen to their thoughts, remember the details of life they care about, slowly comfort or explain, and find ways to make everyone get along better, this way Paying attention to each other will definitely be better than ignoring each other by swiping your phone.
