"Hello, hello." Pick up the phone, I said politely. But there was a grumpy voice on the other end of the phone: "What's the good? I ask you, why don't you let my daughter come to school? "
I am at a loss: "Excuse me, who are you?"
The voice on the other end of the phone looked impatient: "I'm Hui Hui (a pseudonym)' s father. Let me ask you, (my parents call me by my first name), what right do you have to keep my daughter from coming to school? "I'm going to your headmaster to sue you!"
After hearing what he said, I suddenly remembered that three days ago, his daughter had a fever and her mother called me for a day off. Because it is in the final review stage, I am afraid that her mother will forcibly send the children who have not completely lost their fever to class in order not to delay their studies. If the child can't go to class, she has to go back, so the child will suffer instead.
So I kindly advised her that your daughter's fever could not be cured in one day. You don't have to send her here in a hurry, let her have a good rest at home. I'll ask the teacher to give her after-school tutoring. But I don't know why. When this word reached Hui Hui's father, it became "I won't let her daughter come to school!" " !
With this in mind, I tried to suppress my unhappiness and explained to him, "Hui Hui, Dad, I think you misunderstood. I told your daughter to come to school after she had a fever, not to stop her from coming to class. "
As soon as my voice fell, the hysterical voice on the other end of the phone came again: "What? Zhang, don't you admit it? Well, I'll find someone to come to your school tomorrow, and I'll accompany you to your principal's theory, so that your principal can give me an explanation ... "
His next words are basically greetings to his family, because I don't want to recall. Hearing his unreasonable abusive words, my heart rose with anger, and even my hands holding chopsticks trembled involuntarily. I know that Hui Hui's family is very special. Her mother is weak and inarticulate. My father usually works as a short-term worker for a living, and he has a grumpy personality. He is impulsive and occasionally has domestic violence. ?
Now, my heart is shocked to hear Hui Hui's father's hysterical roar on the phone. It seems that a "school quarrel" is inevitable! But I know that at this time, I must control my emotions. Because I know that you have to tie the bell to solve the problem. The misunderstanding started with me and should be solved by me. So, I tried to say to him in a calm tone: "You can go to whoever you want, and I have a clear conscience." Then I hung up.
Having said that, my heart is uncertain after all. I stayed up all night and told all about his daughter, wondering if I really did something wrong and how to meet the coming "school trouble" Suddenly I remembered a sentence in The Analects of Confucius: The knower is not confused, the benevolent is not worried, and the brave is not afraid. I asked myself, am I a kind, brave and wise person? If so, what am I worried about and afraid of? In this way, I ushered in a new day.
I came to the classroom early the next morning. See Hui Hui has been sitting inside. I pulled her aside alone and asked what was going on. It is basically the same as what her father said on the phone. I told her the story of calling her mother that day, and then asked her, would you help me solve this misunderstanding?
Hui Hui just cried and didn't speak. I took out my mobile phone and said, "If you believe me, please call your father and help me clarify this misunderstanding." Hui Hui hesitated and finally dialed this number.
Unexpectedly, after listening to her daughter's voice, her father suddenly shouted and asked me why I didn't let his daughter attend the morning reading class, leaving a sentence: "I'm coming to hit you." And then hung up.
But now I'm calm. I took out my pen and paper and told Hui Hui, "Only you can solve the misunderstanding between your father and me. Now please write down all the help and guidance I have given you in the past three months. " Hui Hui sobbed and began to record how I educated and helped her one day. About twenty items are listed.
Just as I wrote this, the headmaster called and said that he wanted me to go to his office. I know, the final battle has begun. I walked into the principal's office and saw Hui Hui's father talking while dancing. The birthmark on his face is more abrupt because of anger. There stood a paunchy man with a smile beside him, which should be the so-called helper that Hui Hui's father found (hereinafter referred to as helper for convenience of narration).
Seeing my arrival, Hui Hui's father's eyes were full of murderous look. But I ignored them, but told me directly what Hui Hui's father called me yesterday and my telephone conversation with Hui Hui's mother that day. After stressing that I was wronged, I told him about his abuse of me. Then he said to the headmaster half sadly and half angrily, "Hui Hui's father seems to have forgotten that besides being a teacher, I am still a capitalized person!" " His insult to me made me feel extremely humiliated. This is not what a mature parent should do to a teacher! "
Say that finish, I looked at Hui Hui's father calmly. The headmaster appeased both sides. On the one hand, he said that I may not have made it clear, which led to misunderstanding among parents. On the other hand, he blamed Hui Hui's father, saying that it was always inappropriate for him to call names. The latter is still adamant, saying that he will scold me only if I make a mistake first, and if the principal ignores me, he will sue the Education Bureau.
Seeing that the other side was so arrogant, I decided to encircle Wei and save Zhao. I looked at my helper and said firmly and gently, "This uncle is a man of culture at first glance. I think it's easier to communicate with people with culture and quality. Please help me uphold justice and analyze under what circumstances parents can insult teachers? "
I specially emphasized the word "insulting the teacher". The helper listened to my praise that he was a cultured man, and a little smile appeared on his nervous face. Then I asked him to uphold justice, and I felt even more embarrassed. So I began to convince my parents that it is never right for him to curse. I'm here today to clear up the misunderstanding. If you have something to say, don't argue.
Listen, the gang described today's incident as "clearing up the misunderstanding", and Hui Hui's father looked at the helper with some dissatisfaction. But the other party didn't look at him, but began to play a joke with the principal. It seems that my siege of Wei and the rescue of Zhao succeeded.
Without the support of helpers, the murderous look in Hui Hui's father's eyes was three points less. While the iron was hot, I told him what happened this morning and stressed that I was doing his daughter's ideological work, but his father made trouble without reason and said that I had influenced his daughter's study. Then, I took out the paper written by Hui Hui.
Seeing this paper and listening to my explanation, the assistant couldn't sit still and began to blame Hui Hui's father. The headmaster also went down the slope and began to do the ideological work of parents. Seeing that no one supported him, Hui Hui's father was not convinced, but he was helpless. And I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a school quarrel was finally resolved by me!
In later days, Hui Hui was still sitting in the classroom, and her father didn't come to see me again. But my mind is changing quietly. I found that smiling is only effective in the face of justice and courage! I also found that teachers should learn to protect themselves.
