I have been running outside all these years. Because of my work habits in recent years, I will pay attention to the information of schools and kindergartens in this area wherever I go, and have a basic judgment on the local education situation through information such as school capacity and road conditions.
However, after getting off the expressway this time, there were not many kindergartens along the national highway, even if I saw one occasionally, I didn't find it when I went to town. We followed the navigation through several villages, and finally simply walked into the depths of a wheat field until there was no way out, so we had to retreat along Garden Road.
What do you mean by saying so much? This kindergarten is really in the deep village. According to my experience, I took a new route and finally found a kindergarten. When we arrived, Xu Juan, the director of the kindergarten, had not taken the children to the dance class, and we were waiting outside the door.
Standing outside the door, I made a general survey of this kindergarten. The kindergarten is in the village, next to the village road. The area of the kindergarten is not large, and the outdoor venue of the whole kindergarten is relatively simple, and the area is not very large. What impressed me most at that time was that there were horizontal lines on the roof of the yard and several rows of paper windmills. At this time, the wind outside is very strong, and all the windmills are ringing with the wind.
About an hour later, an electric car drove into the kindergarten. A well-dressed young man greeted me and invited us to sit in the kindergarten. We sat at the entrance of the hall of the kindergarten classroom and briefly exchanged our purpose and the matters needing attention in the next interview. Xu Juan, a young and capable person, quickly understood the process of our visit and introduced the situation to me. As the temperature outside began to drop, Xu Yuanzhang sniffed when she spoke again. I guess she just made a schedule in a hurry and caught a cold.
After a brief exchange, we began to visit the kindergarten, which ended in less than two minutes. Because it's really small and the light is average, the kindergarten is opened in residential houses with only one floor. The landlord lives on the second floor, and the overall teaching environment is crowded.
We learned about the opening time of the park every day, and made an appointment for the director to come over at 6: 20 the next morning to start recording the day's work.
Back at the hotel, I recalled the impression this girl left on me. She is thin and small with bright eyes. I'm not sure about her age, but I feel very young. Her story should be interesting.
The next day, in order not to be late, we arrived at the school gate before 6: 20. At 6: 20, the school bus driver got on the bus, lit the ignition and began to pick up the first bus. When the first bus came around 7: 30, we decided to follow the car to pick up the next bus. Five minutes later, the second school bus set off, driving on various village roads along the way. It should be said that the roads here are the widest country roads. This trip, drivers and teachers are very hard, because many children are still awake and need to knock on doors to wake up. Then the car goes to pick up other children first, and then comes back to pick up these "little slackers". A little slacker was not ready to go to his house for the second time, so the driver had to go again and collect it for the third time. In this way, the second car was sent directly to the kindergarten.
I can't help thinking of Tai sunshine kindergarten in Dongguan. Drivers charge by the time. If there is a traffic jam, they must pay extra after working hours. However, this is the current situation in rural areas. Children enjoy school bus service, which is almost free in rural areas. The fee charged by the kindergarten is only enough for the basic cost of the vehicle. Many kindergartens charge 100 to 150 every month.
After this bus followed, I think the school bus service in rural areas can have a leap-forward development, but it will be better to strengthen some norms in use, and this trip can avoid unnecessary waste.
Like all kindergartens, children in the morning come to the kindergarten to do morning exercises and exercise, and then have classes in different classes. The kindergarten is divided into two classes, with a total of 80-90 students. Director Xu and another teacher each have a class, and each class has two other teachers.
Director Xu gives math lessons to his children and describes his major in two words! Order in the classroom? The activities and atmosphere are very good. Her class is crisp and neat, and there is no nonsense.
We retired to the playground, waited for the children to finish class, after lunch, and then took a lunch break for an interview.
In almost all kindergartens, during the whole day, only children have a lunch break, and teachers and principals can rest. I've been busy since the garden opened in the morning, and sometimes it's like a war.
We prepare the equipment and wait for the director of Xu Juan. At this time, the children fell asleep one after another, and slowly the kindergarten could only hear the sound of the wind blowing through the paper windmill in the yard.
Director Xu Juan was born in 1990s. When she told me her grades, my mind quickly searched, who are the post-90 s around me and what are they doing? I don't have time to think about it. I just think this post-90 s generation is not simple. She was born and brought up in this village. Because of a rural policy, she entered the teacher qualification examination and passed it smoothly, and started her own teacher life.
Compared with cities, the rural population in China generally marries early, and Xu Juan is one of them. Xu Juan, born in 1990s, is now a mother of two children. When she got the teacher qualification certificate and got a job in a large kindergarten in Nanchang, it was a job for Xu Juan at that time, a job with children. She went out to work with two children.
During her work, Xu Juan won the recognition of the director and colleagues with excellent results, and was promoted to be the main class teacher in the second year. At the same time, Xu Juan's two children also follow their mother in this kindergarten. Their daughter is in a big class and their son is in a small class.
In the kindergarten, Xu Juan and her two children are slowly affected. She was born in the countryside and has not received the education similar to that of the children she is teaching now. She feels good about her personal experience. More importantly, his two children came out of the countryside and received a higher education. Children have changed in all aspects, such as hats, hobbies, expressions, self-confidence and so on. This is the most satisfying and comforting thing for Xu Juan. She thinks it would be great if children in rural areas can also enjoy such education. This initial heart, like a seed, took root in his heart.
Xu Juan also put forward her ideas to the director at that time. She told me frankly that there was no kindergarten in her rural area, and she wanted to go back to run a kindergarten in the rural area and bring good preschool education back to the rural area. Her sincerity is respected, and the director and teachers also give her encouragement and support.
At that time, wages in cities were definitely higher than those in rural areas. So, will Xu Juan's idea be opposed by his family?
Of course, basically, the old people don't agree. After all, taking care of children is very risky, and they are worried that young people nowadays can't do such a thing well. Xu Juan's husband gave her enough encouragement, and almost all the preparatory work for kindergarten was done by her husband. And all the designs of the kindergarten reflect the intentions of two young people. Colleagues in Nanchang kindergarten also used the holiday time to help her perfect the details. With the help of everyone, the kindergarten opened two years ago.
At first, it must be very difficult. The number of students is increasing bit by bit, and the teacher is not easy to recruit. Xu Juan attaches importance not only to children, but also to teachers. Although all her teachers are from nearby towns and villages, most of them have one thing in common, that is, they all take their children to work together. Perhaps this is because Xu Juan felt warm in her previous job, so her small team continued to do so.
There are few students, and part of the reason is that it is far from kindergarten and it is not convenient to pick up and drop off. Xu Juan decided to buy a school bus to improve the service quality. where is the money to come from? Borrow, basically the money for buying school buses is borrowed from relatives. Remember to borrow money from my grandmother. The old people know that they are engaged in education, which is unambiguous. He lent them the 6,543,800 yuan he had worked so hard to save. What moved him most was that the old man had been hiding his money behind the brick wall. In front of them, he pried open the brick wall and took out the savings to support them. With the school bus, the problem of children's nursery is solved and the number of students is gradually increasing. The expenses of these thirty or forty children are often only enough for daily operation, and even the teacher's salary can't be paid at the end of the month. When they are in trouble, they will still ask their relatives for help.
It is inevitable that some relatives are worried that this loan will pay employees, which is not very optimistic. Some people simply suggested that she stop working and go out to work. If Xu Juan had listened to their advice, there would have been no later story, so when she was in trouble, everyone helped her, and finally she passed the most difficult period.
On another occasion, relatives suggested that Xu Juan close the door and stop working. This suggestion reached the ears of parents of young children. My parents were very worried and called Xu Juan to ask, "Why did you quit? Do you think my children like going to kindergarten? Did you encounter any difficulties? If you have any difficulties, just let me know and I will try my best to help you. You see, the children in our village are polite now. " Xu Juan clearly told parents that the kindergarten would continue to open, and I didn't give up. Don't worry. Parents' support and understanding also gave Xu Juan a lot of motivation!
There are 90 children in the kindergarten now. The villagers who are close to each other have basically sent their children here, and some are still far away. There are children in the surrounding villages who want to come, but the current pick-up time and park capacity can't be met for the time being. Xu Juan has taken action to rent the whole yard next door, with three floors up and down, with a total area of more than five times that of the present kindergarten. The house has not been decorated yet. When Xu Juan introduced the new kindergarten to us, he was very excited and his eyes were full of hope. Every area will be redecorated according to her idea, which room will be used for children's lunch break, which room will be used for children's classes, and which room will be completely open to make a big dance classroom ..... I can understand that her goal in mind is to bring all the skills, all the knowledge, all the good conditions and good education she has learned in the city to her children in her hometown.
Today, with the development of information, Xu Juan, born in the 1990s, is about the same age as most old kindergarten teachers in China, but the difficulties and challenges of starting a business are more severe. Affection and affection are the strong backing of these entrepreneurs and play a vital role at many critical moments.
When Xu Juan mentioned the new kindergarten, she once again stressed that she was especially grateful to her family and relatives for their help. Xu Juan's relatives knew that she was going to decorate the new kindergarten, and they all gave her reassurance in advance. Don't worry, uncles will come together to help you solve the problem!
