Teachers who insist on taking online classes...
have body temperatures above 38°C, body aches, and cough... Currently, there are not a few infected teachers in our city, but the vast majority of them still persist in the front line of education and teaching after becoming positive.
Teacher is taking online classes
Teacher is "positive" and insists on online classes. Parents' response is very warm
Zhang Siying is the fourth grade teacher at Huamao Education Primary School. She said that she is one of the first teachers in the school to be "recruited". Last Thursday, two students in the class tested positive, and on Friday, the entire class switched to online teaching. On Friday morning, Teacher Zhang felt her throat was a little itchy. After finishing the online class, she went to the hospital for a single tube. In the evening, she started coughing and had a low fever. "The symptoms are very similar to new coronavirus , so I took the antigen test at home on Sunday, and it showed two bars, but I still haven't escaped."
On Monday, Teacher Zhang's fever went down, and the cold symptoms became more obvious, including runny nose and cough. "I feel a little out of breath in class these days, but otherwise I'm fine." In addition to her own Chinese class, plus math and science inquiry classes with foreign teachers, Teacher Zhang has to attend at least three classes a day.
What makes her feel warm is that during this period, there has been a steady stream of concern from parents, colleagues, and school leaders. After finishing a class with a cough on Monday, some parents asked the teacher to take more rest in the group, even if the class had to be suspended for a few days, it didn't matter. The class did not stop, but the parents’ understanding and concern made Teacher Zhang feel that everything was worth it.
Parents please ask Teacher Zhang to take more rest.
Ye Lin is a teacher in the junior middle school of Huamao Education. Starting from Tuesday, all grades will switch to online teaching until the end of the semester. Teachers have mild to severe symptoms, but they all insist on conducting online classes. Teachers with severe symptoms will meet with students via video at the beginning of class and inform them of their situation. Then they will arrange learning tasks for everyone, let students discuss in groups, and ask the teacher if they have any questions.
Teacher Ye is also one of the teachers with more severe symptoms. In the past few days, in addition to teaching her own classes to seventh-grade students, she will also enter the online classes of other teachers in the junior high school from time to time to check the situation. "Because of the epidemic that has occurred from time to time in the past few years, both teachers and students have adapted to online classes very quickly, and the efficiency is much higher than three years ago."

"If it doesn't work, I'll book the class." Teachers arranged courses for each other
"I also have a fever today. My whole body is sore, my head is dizzy, and my throat is a little itchy, but my throat hurts like a razor blade." English teacher Wang Liji said.
"You are still in the first stage, and I have entered the recovery period." Math teacher Mao Panpan said.
"Don't worry, I'm here to support them. If they can't, I'll take care of the class and take them to study on their own." History and Society teacher Wang Weidong said.
This is a conversation in the chat group after the mathematics teacher and English teacher of Class 903 of the Ningbo Art Experimental School of East China Normal University were "recruited" one after another. This Monday, Mao Panpan showed symptoms. When her colleagues learned about it, they were very concerned about her and discussed that if she could not attend class, math teachers from other classes could connect to class 903 during the live broadcast.
"However, because the teaching progress is somewhat different, I still want to take it on my own. As long as I can still speak, I will stand up for myself and teach every class well." Mao Panpan said.
During class, Mao Panpan felt dizzy, her waist was sore, and she couldn't sit still. Although she did not tell the students about her situation, they seemed to be aware of it. After class, several attentive students sent text messages to show their concern, which made her feel very warm.
In addition to online classes, as the class teacher, Mao Panpan is also responsible for paying attention to students' situation and class attendance rate, and helping science teachers supervise online classes. "Our school's online class is a large class that two classes take together. When one teacher is in class, the other teacher is an assistant, responsible for supervising the class status and checking the students' attendance rate." Mao Panpan explained.

"There are many such situations, but in order to ensure the normal teaching of junior high school students, the school has activated an emergency plan, and teachers cooperate with each other to fill each other's seats." Wang Weidong said that if the symptoms are severe, the class will be moved back to try not to delay the students' studies. "At such a special moment, children are more sensible than ever and cherish such learning opportunities."
The most worried about the children's learning and health status
Last Saturday, Ruan Chaojie of Shanglin Junior Middle School in Cixi City "got positive". He teaches two junior high school classes " history and society " and "morality and rule of law", and a second junior high school class "morality and rule of law".
Under the unified arrangement of the school, Ruan Chaojie started the online teaching mode starting this Monday. Since the teaching progress of the two classes in the third grade of junior high school is the same, they are taught in parallel classes. There are classes for the third grade of junior high school every day from Monday to Friday, while the second grade of junior high school has classes on Tuesday and Thursday, with each class lasting 45 minutes.
"The most difficult time is over. The fever has gone away, but the throat is still uncomfortable. There are also many students who are unable to attend classes due to positive diagnoses or physical discomfort." Ruan Chaojie said that his body is gradually recovering, and he hopes to be in a better state to engage in online teaching so as not to miss every class of the children.
Screenshots of Feng Xiaoxia’s online live teaching
Today, after finishing two periods of online live teaching, Feng Xiaoxia, a science teacher at Henghe Junior High School in Cixi City, still had a high fever, felt weak and sore all over, had a sore throat, and had a slight cough. Feng Xiaoxia originally only taught eighth grade. Later, a ninth grade teacher became ill, so she took over another class during the New Year period. "I am definitely not the only teacher who is teaching in a situation like mine. I hope that the children will not let down the good intentions of the teachers and take online courses seriously." She said that as a teacher, she is most concerned about the learning and health of the children.
Regarding the current situation, Feng Xiaoxia is very optimistic: "Since you are 'yang', keep a good attitude, hope to recover quickly, and return to the normal pace of teaching and life."
In fact, online classes are not easy for teachers and students
I hope that all the teachers and students who are sick will recover soon
