Re: Island primary school "only teacher: stick to 28 years, rowing and sending students every day
"I feel I have to let the children of the building village learn knowledge and leave the"
surging news: when was the construction of the gate primary school? "
Wen Jihua: before the elementary school was built in private schools, it was later converted into public primary schools. Before liberation, it was a private private school. Our current classroom was built by the state government. The state appropriated a new teaching building for our Lake District. This semester started, and we moved to a new teaching building to go to school. Our village used to have large water, and the primary school was built on the lake. After the school was covered, it was a problem and became a dangerous house.
surging news: how about the students in the school? How many students and teachers are there at the most?
Wen Jihua: there were dozens of students in the past, with about 5 teachers. Later, the teacher did not go to other places to teach, or they left their work to work. Nowadays, more and more young people go out to work in the village, where children are brought to work, and fewer and fewer students are going to work.
this year's students are the least, 7 students, only one of my teachers, grade one or two here, grade three to go to the town's primary school, but far from the village.
I now teach Chinese, math, sports, music, and some primary school subjects to teach, to let the children develop fully, before it is good, there are other teachers to teach together, but now I myself, and the books are not the same as before, I do feel a little tired.
surging news: do students eat lunch at school? Do you need to make lunch for them?
Wen Jihua: no lunch, but every weekend to buy, ready, the student lunch is in the school eat, a free nutritional lunch, a dollar a meal, eat bread and fruit, students feel good, full.
the county before the direct distribution, but we are here the lake area, traffic is not convenient, there are ten miles from the town, people can not deliver, and also deteriorated, so we have to prepare for the students at the weekend.
surging news: I heard that you have been rowing and sending children, when did it start?
Wen Jihua: more than 20 years ago, there was no traffic boat in our village. Some of the children are on the island where the school is located. Most of them are on other islands. The children gather in one place and the others pick up each other. It's more than 6 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon. My wife is not working. She will come with me, but she is not in good health during this period. She has to check regularly.
surging news: I heard that you often help families especially difficult students. How many students have been funded over the years?
Wen Jihua: 30, not much. The main purpose is to subsidize students' tuition fees, because they have to pay tuition fees before they go to school. Because I have only one child, and every month's salary can maintain my family's life. So I don't think it's affordable. But the family did not support me so much, and now they can understand me.
surging news: have you ever thought of leaving this school and going to a better school as a teacher?
Wen Jihua: honestly, I did think about it before, but I think we should let the students in Zha village learn knowledge, so they stayed. But I also did not too long, the body is not too good, I now also in the village in the village of branch books and town leaders to negotiate this matter, but at present, the right people have not been found to take over, the place is too biased, young people do not want to come.
