Chapter 1978
Joanne arrived at her class to hold a parent-teacher meeting with the new students' parents. The parents were very curious about the people who taught their children, especially the class teacher. They were very concerned about that.
Joanne stood at the door for a while, taking a few deep breaths before striding into the class. "Hello, everyone, welcome to the first parent-teacher meeting for the third first grader class." Joanne was wearing a professional white shirt and pants, with her hair up in a ponytail and a pair of rimless glasses on. She looked elegant and proper, and the parents looked at her in admiration.
'Let me introduce myself-I'm the class teacher, and my name is Joanne Garcia. Although I'm not very experienced in teaching, I'm well-versed in various teaching methods. Now, I'll explain my plans for the class." Joanne smoothly redirected the topic, emphasizing her strengths. She inserted her USB drive into the computer to open the detailed presentation she had prepared. "First, my teaching concepts are based on four different areas: virtue, politeness, diligence, and love. The first area concerns morality." Joanne placed her hand on the podium and confidently explained her teaching methods.
The parents listened attentively, impressed by Joanne's concept.
'Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me." At that moment, Gina walked in and stood beside Joanne. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm the deputy class teacher, and I teach the Filansier language for this class. I graduated from Coral Coast University with a master's degree in Multilingualism and Languages Education. I received band eight in the Filansier language and was picked as one of the top ten youths in Beach City... Gina introduced herself quickly, trying to snatch the limelight from Joanne. Lone Pine Elementary was a public primary school, but it was one of the best schools in Beach City. Many parents did whatever they could to send their children to that school, even spending a lot of money so their child could study there. It was clear the students' parents were powerful and influential people.
"Wow, she has great qualifications! Why didn't the class teacher tell us her qualifications too? Ms. Garcia, can you tell us about your academic qualifications?" A smartly-dressed man waved dismissively at Gina and turned to Joanne.
"..." Joanne flexed her fingers, lowering her head because she had no idea how to respond. "My qualifications aren't great... but I can promise you that my teaching concepts are advanced. All my students love me, and I've also helped improve their writing skills...Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
"Stop beating around the bush and tell us where you graduated from! Explain your qualifications and honors like the Filansier teacher. We have the right to know," the man demanded.
"Yeah, we need to know. Just telling us your teaching methods isn't enough; we need to look at your qualifications and experience!" The other parents agreed with the man.
