Chapter 2 — Protect Your Children

"Recently, the grade group is voting for excellent homeroom teachers. I have prepared a typical case, the topic is 'Let children grow up in the reminders of their friends'." Niem Niem's mother took a deep breath. I finally understood. Tri Ha is not the victim of a spontaneous, uncontrolled activity. The boy is the villain document used by Hua Thanh Hoan to demonstrate "effective management methods" in her typical case. When leaving the moral education room, Principal Chu said the school would find out the situation first. I don't put all my hope in that statement. The school has its school procedures, and a mother has her mother's time. Tri Ha is still waiting for me in the breakfast restaurant. Seeing me return, the boy's first reaction was to stand up and observe my face. I sat down opposite my child, pushing a cup of hot soy milk towards him. "Miss Hua didn't say you were lying." Tri Ha's shoulders relaxed a bit. I said again: "Mom Niem Niem is also coming. Niem Niem doesn't hate me, she's just scared." The boy bowed his head, and after a long time, he quietly asked: "What about the other children?" I don't want to justify for all those children, nor do I want to instill hatred in my heart. "Some people have done wrong, some people don't understand clearly, some people are led by adults. We will make them know where this is wrong." Tri Ha hugged the glass of milk. soybean, a tear fell into the cup. "But tomorrow you still have to sit there." I grabbed the boy's cup. "Before everything is clear, you don't have to go back and sit there alone." That morning, I did three things. The first thing is to take Tri Ha to the child psychology consulting room to schedule an evaluation. I didn't label him as "something happened", I just told him: "There are words that mom will hurt when you hear them, teachers will justify when they hear them. We need to find someone who specializes in listening to children talk." The second thing is to contact On Niem Niem's mother. Her name was Hua Thanh Nghien, she kept apologizing on the phone. "I actually saw the message in the group last night, but I didn't dare say it. I'm afraid that Niem Niem will be targeted by the teacher in the future." I said I understood. The power between school and family is inherently unequal and cannot be eliminated with just one sentence "be brave". Hua Thanh Nghien was silent for a moment and then said: "I can go to the open house day. But I don't want my daughter to be named." "No." I said: "We talk about the teacher's process, not about the shame of the children." The third thing is to call another parent. That is Han Ky Minh's father. Normally, Han Ky Minh takes the shuttle bus with Tri Ha, the two families live in the same apartment complex. The boy's father is a quiet engineer. In the group of parents, he only ever sent the word "received". After the call was connected, I briefly stated my purpose. After listening, the first thing Han Ky Minh's father said was: "Yesterday my son came home and told Ms. Hua to ask everyone if Tri Ha was holding the whole class back or not." My fingers tightened. "Original text?" "Something like that. He said the teacher first wrote the four words 'black hole toilet', then asked who needed help the most. Later, a child shouted 'disgusting', the teacher did not stop, and said Although the name is exaggerated, the effect is very profound." At this point, his voice lowered. "Last night I scolded Han Ky Minh. Then he cried, saying if he didn't raise his hand, he would be asked if he didn't care about the class." I closed my eyes. This is where Hua Thanh Hoan excels. She does not directly order the children to do bad things. She packaged humiliation as collective responsibility,

turn silence into dishonesty, then let the children push each other along the path she has designed. Han Ky Minh's father said: "The day the festival opens, I will ask for leave to come." I said thank you. He replied: "No need to thank me. Today it's your son, tomorrow it could be my son." At one o'clock in the afternoon, the open house process was posted in the parents' group. Hua Thanh Hoan's tone has returned to calm: "Parents, today's third theme activity is still open as planned. The theme is 'Clean classroom, we protect it together'. Everyone is welcome to come and observe the results of the children's self-management." Below is the announcement from the head of the parent committee, who is also Lo Minh Vien's mother: "Please cooperate with the school's arrangements, do not raise unrelated issues at the scene. The meeting Voting for this month's civility class is very important. Don't let an individual's misunderstanding affect the collective honor."An individual's misunderstanding. Looking at those four words, I suddenly stopped being impatient. A lot of people don't see the hurt at first. They just feel that it hasn't happened to their child yet, so a little patience will be beneficial. I replied in the group: "I will arrive on time." Lo Minh Vien's mother sent me a private message:
