Episode 8: Online classes

Tomorrow afternoon, a lively youth square dance competition will kick off in the city square.As soon as the news came out, Yang Defu excitedly found his friend Wang Yutian and asked him if he would like to go and watch it together.Although Wang Yutian yearned for it in his heart, he had no choice but to politely refuse as he thought there were classes at school tomorrow.

At this moment, the principal walked into the classroom and announced an unexpected news: Since the school is about to install fire rooms and stair wheelchairs, students do not need to come to school tomorrow.This news made Wang Yutian secretly happy, thinking that he could finally participate in the square dancing competition as he wished.However, the principal's next words made his mood hit rock bottom again - although they do not have to come to school, all students need to attend online classes, and no one can be absent.

Faced with this sudden change, Yang Defu and Wang Yutian couldn't help but fell into trouble.They know that the square dance competition is of great significance to them, but online classes are a responsibility that cannot be ignored.The two began to discuss countermeasures, hoping to find a good way to participate in the competition without delaying class.

Yang Defu came up with a bold idea: start a review system to rate teachers in class.She believes that in this way, students will listen more carefully and teachers will teach more carefully.Wang Yutian also agreed, so the two of them proposed this suggestion to the principal.

The principal frowned after listening to their suggestions.He felt that this approach was against common sense. After all, teachers used to grade students, but this time students were asked to grade teachers.However, after Yang Defu's clever compliments, the principal's mood seemed to lighten up, and he finally agreed to the suggestion.

At the same time, Yang Defu's daughter also told her to take classes seriously, and then went out to work.As soon as Yang Defu saw his daughter leaving, he couldn't help but pick up his fan and dance and sing.Unexpectedly, her daughter suddenly appeared at the door and caught her in action.Her daughter told her seriously that she must listen to the class carefully and not be distracted.

After the online classes officially started, the principal taught the students meticulously.He severely criticized those students who played dogs, played games and watched dramas, and asked them to go to the Academic Affairs Office to write a review tomorrow.He emphasized that online classes, like classes in school, require everyone’s full concentration and no slacking off.

However, in the middle of the online class, Yang Defu and Wang Yutian suddenly realized that their game started at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, but the online class ended at 3:30.The two began to discuss strategies anxiously, hoping to find a good way to participate in the competition without delaying class.

In the end, they decided to adopt an ingenious method: they made the background of their home into a drawing board and carried it behind their backs, holding their mobile phones in their hands while rushing to take online classes.In this way, they can rush to the scene before the game starts, and at the same time they will not miss any content of the online class.However, as they hurried on their way, they unexpectedly met the principal who was fishing.After the two of them looked at each other guiltily, they turned their heads in tacit agreement, without anyone exposing the other.

Although they successfully participated in the competition and did not miss online classes, the experience made them realize that learning, whether at school or at home, is a task that needs to be taken seriously.At the same time, they also understood the principal’s good intentions and expectations for the students.Therefore, they decided to work harder and more seriously in their future studies in order to repay the principal's care and teachings.

As for whether the review system should be cancelled, they believe this needs to be decided based on the actual situation.If the review system can truly promote student learning and teacher teaching, then it should be retained.But if it is only established for formality and has no actual effect, then it is not a bad idea to cancel it.
