? Industry groups are speculating whether the training industry will wait another month or two to resume classes. Two months is still not enough. We may have to wait. By April, we had been waiting for three months. How long do we have to wait? I heard that a district government agency was dispatched and posted "No Business" notices in various agencies! OMG！ This is tantamount to "extinction" … I feel this anxiety almost every day. Can you feel my mood at that time?
Finally, due to family pressure, rent pressure and my self-confidence, I chose to close down, but I don't know if I will resume my business. But in any case, after four months, it is a foregone conclusion.
Today, when something goes wrong, just recall the grievances during this time!
? Meet TA who robbed in troubled waters
? Back to the end of April, by the time of graduation, the parents of the students must be liquidated first. At that time, they were given several choices: a. the teacher went to the teacher's house to finish the rest of the class, b. they switched to buy books/musical instruments, and c. they returned the rest of the class.
I think I am a very serious and responsible person in dealing with this matter. I will refund the rest of the students' tuition fees without any miscellaneous fees. Because I think that if I treat others sincerely, others will treat me sincerely. Besides, I'm not short of money. Why should I deduct miscellaneous fees? Moreover, the music store has been open for so many years, and I am very grateful to the parents for their support. We all became friends.
But I didn't expect that I would meet a TA who wanted to take advantage. I was really speechless with anger. Because of the Spring Festival this year, you are going to have a baby on maternity leave. For a musical instrument store without a front desk, it is more worrying to remind payment, because someone really needs to follow the service. Therefore, at the end of 2065438+2009, a large-scale report performance was specially held and preferential activities were made. Set the tuition fee paid in advance as long as possible, and let me do the follow-up service after maternity leave. On the one hand, I can give students preferential treatment, on the other hand, I can reduce my workload.
As a result, we encountered an epidemic this year. Considering that we have to take care of three babies, we have no choice but to graduate. Among them, the refund processing method is selected, and the remaining class fee is calculated as follows:
Total number of remaining classes = number of remaining classes × preferential unit price at the time of payment.
That is, the original price 120 yuan. After enjoying the discount, the preferential price is 100 yuan. Speaking of refunds, if there is 1 class left, the refund will definitely be 100 yuan, because only 100 yuan has been received, not 120 yuan. Is there anything wrong with this description?
As a result, TA who "wanted to take advantage" asked me to return it 120 yuan gave it to TA, and TA wanted to take advantage of the situation. No matter how patiently I explain how the remaining total is worked out, TA says I am dishonest! Really dizzy! It was my bad luck to meet such a person for the first time. Anyway, if I should return it, I will return it. I am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth!
? "Plan A"
After handling the liquidation, the "Plan A" will be implemented, that is, students who do not choose to refund their fees, teachers will go to students' homes, or students will go to teachers' homes for classes.
? There are not many students who continue to choose to learn from me, and I have to take care of three babies. Some students who want to continue to learn from me can't afford the time. I have recommended another teacher in the piano shop to teach, mainly considering that it is not easy to raise two babies. Before graduation, she also said that in the future, she would devote herself to arranging courses in my musical instrument store and strive to develop and grow. I was very touched at that time, just like my left and right hands were full of strength! But now that I have graduated, I feel very sorry that the teacher in the music shop is equivalent to "unemployment". When choosing students, I always try to keep them so that teachers can earn money, but the choice is not in my hands, so I can only do my best.
From May to July, students went back to school one after another, and everything began to slowly return to its original state. However, the school requires parents to sign a letter of commitment that "students are not allowed to be sent to training institutions". No one dares to be responsible for the seriousness of the epidemic. Indeed, our students are all flowers of the motherland, which is understandable. The entrance and exit of each community are strictly controlled, wearing masks, disinfection and so on, which is the biggest trouble point of door-to-door teaching.
I've been waiting for students to come to class in the music shop since I taught in the music shop. It's very relaxed because I don't have to run around in class.
But on-site teaching is just the opposite. Every student comes from a different family, and every class needs to run around. Even if students live nearby, they still spend a lot of time on the road.
For example, from home, you need to find a parking space before you go to student A's home. After parking, send a message to your parents. Then, the students went to the gate of the community to wait for me and "pick me up" to her house. After class, if student A is in the same community, it is convenient to walk there, but it is unlikely. That is to say, I have to drive again, find a parking space near student B's home, let the students come down and pick me up, and then move on to the next classmate. ...
In fact, this kind of running time is enough to arrange another class. Having a class at home now is equivalent to having two classes at a musical instrument store before. In addition to consuming time, it also takes energy, because in addition to communicating with students and parents, it is also necessary to deal with the doorman in the community.
Before the summer vacation, I feel nothing after two days a week. After all, I only arrange classes for two days a week, and I run for two days when I am tired. But in the summer vacation, it is really "deadly"!
Mad
According to the usual practice, this year's grading examination is scheduled for the end of August. Due to the epidemic, the school started several months later than in previous years, but the grading examination was not postponed. My students have learned a higher level. Moreover, improving their piano skills in summer vacation is a good opportunity for students to overtake in corners, so most students choose to increase the frequency of classes in summer vacation. Some students have three classes a week, while others have two classes a week. In other words, my schedule has classes every day, about two to six classes a day.
Compared with before the summer vacation, it is three times the "workload". Although the number of courses is not three times, the time is three times. There is a community where I enter at least three days a week and twice a day for two days, and I feel like a "master" there. Even if I don't have classes in this community, when I pass by this community, I will nod and smile at the doorman there as a greeting. There are only three shifts at the doorman over there. I appear so frequently. Did they at least recognize me?
Affected by the epidemic this year, the piano grading test was launched, that is, students can hand in playing videos to the test center. For the sake of safety, we plan the deadline with the students in advance, so that they have free time to deal with uncontrollable factors.
Due to the proper schedule, I finished everything before August 23, and I plan to start on August 24 and give myself a summer vacation. Because, after running for five weeks, I was busy with class and didn't have time to urge my boss to do his summer homework. It's time to take care of my children while completing the student grade exam!
During these five weeks, I may have a lot of thoughts, both positive and negative, all because of fatigue, but more negative emotions are dominant, which may be the change of role identity, or the inner unwillingness, which leads to my desire to "go out of the circle", but at present, it is impossible to realize the loss, and it is also possible …, anyway, I just can't calm down.
As for the change of status and role, I used to be the boss and liked to direct others. Now, even if I enter the gate of the community, I am very upset that the doorman asks questions and looks distrustful. Although I wear ordinary clothes, I sometimes drive an electric car in, unlike some local tyrants, but I look like a good person, there is no need to stop me in every way! And the most puzzling thing is that I enter the same neighborhood almost every day, and the doorman tries to stop it. It's really hard.
Because during the summer vacation, parents are usually at work and students are at home. If I can go to the students' home by myself, it will save the students time to walk around, and I will wait for them. Moreover, parents don't have to worry about "Is the child admitted to the teacher?" .
Sometimes on the day when there are many courses, you have to bring the baby who is still nursing. He was only five months old during the whole summer vacation, and it was so hot during the summer vacation that I really wasn't in the mood to answer the doorman's questions.
I walked into this special community again the night before I planned to finish my summer vacation course. Usually I drive the electric car in and park it near the door, but I have to park it outside tonight. I was very unhappy, so I reasoned with her, "I usually park by the door, out of the way, out of the way …". Finally, drive directly to the place where you usually park. When I was about to stop, I found an advertising rack lying on the ground. Because I was still angry, I simply drove to the student's downstairs to park, because the difference was less than ten meters, which was where the owner parked the electric car. I thought to myself: if someone else's electric car is parked here, I'll park here and stay out of the way.
Just as I was about to lock the car, the doorman came after me and let me out! Say, "You can't park here, you park your car outside, so don't come in again, you ..." She said, calling people on the intercom, saying that she would drive me away!
Wow! It really drives me crazy! Is this how the doorman in this community treats the guests? I usually nod to them when I pass by here. I only nod when I meet them, because I respect others. I will do this because I feel that although I don't know each other, at least we have met, and being nice is a basic communication etiquette. Although I come to a student's home for class, am I at least a guest? ! What right does the doorman have to drive away the guests? This is the best community I have ever seen! ! !
Really super angry! I immediately called my parents. When the doorman heard the master say that he would come down to see what was going on, he immediately turned to Feng and said, "Forget it today! ... "What do you mean," Forget it today? " Really speechless! Don't argue with her!
? After this unpleasant night, I really want to think about my future arrangements!
? Students who choose "Plan A" have few classes left, and some students have more than ten classes. In these months, it is also a very good experience!
? I used to envy those teachers who didn't open a musical instrument store. I am jealous that they don't have to pay rent, and there is not much pressure on spending. Now, I am jealous of my former self. In the past, I just had to sit in the piano room and wait for the students to come to class, and I could also enjoy the feeling of "being on top". This feeling comes from the unpleasantness of this night. I feel that my time is very cheap, and my time and energy are spent on the road and dealing with things without nutrition.
Time is money. If you spend it on how to create value, you will live up to your youth! I believe I have a solution!
I didn't actually write this article for malicious slander. But sometimes, it's really hard to hold it in your heart, especially at present.
During the day, whether in class or with the baby, try not to leave bad feelings for your family. In the evening, sometimes I go home very late after class. If I have no classes at night, I must take care of the children. At least I won't have free time before they go to bed, but I'm tired when they really go to bed. Let's chat with friends. My friends are mainly piano teachers. During the summer vacation, everyone is busy with classes. If you are not a friend who teaches piano, you have to work during the day and take care of your children at weekends. It is basically difficult to have overlapping time. Like the above, if I say it, others may think I am stingy and worry about affecting my image.
But if there is really no vent, I am afraid I will suffocate. I'm not a saint. I really can't be generous and tolerant. If you don't write articles and spit out your thoughts, you really can't find an outlet to vent your emotions.
Negative emotions will not be solved for a while. Sometimes I really want to earn more money, but I don't want to be a palmer. Although I don't earn much, I can at least have a discretionary amount to give my parents pocket money.
But often paradoxically, if you spend time making money, the time and energy spent on children will inevitably decrease, and since I am three children, it is even more difficult to allocate.
I have been enrolled in many courses on family education, and I want to implement them with my children to cultivate their thinking and ability. But it's not because I don't insist, but because I can't arrange time, or my mind is always not on my children, and I feel that I'm always doing badly and depressed.
The terrible thing is that I always think too many things, can't calm down, concentrate on one thing, and don't want to do only one thing! Too many contradictions, too many conflicts, are really "cutting constantly, and the reason is still chaotic!"
That's it. In the four months after I graduated from the musical instrument store, I spent it in chaos. At home, it is often the noise of the three babies, occasionally the scolding, and occasionally the laughter. Outside, it's not the sunshine and rain, but the whistle of the road, with occasional complaints from children's teachers and occasional praise from children's teachers …
How are you after the epidemic? What are your hopes for the future?
In fact, I am still full of expectations for the future!
At present, you can give yourself a small summer vacation without considering renting a house; You can arrange less classes on weekends and spend as much time with your children as possible; When the baby goes to school, we can continue to develop online courses for adults …
In order to explain the adult piano online course more intuitively, I have equipped a projector, a projection screen and a folding piano. In order to make the course have a better course experience, I also plan to adapt some popular songs!
For example, two open classes are to teach students to sing the climax melody of songs, and they can sing and play. What they learned in two classes is enough to record a video of 15 ". Then, we will start a training camp for about 3 weeks, teaching only the melody of a popular song. After learning, we will open a special training camp to learn the accompaniment part, and then play with both hands.
The first two training camps always want to teach all the knowledge to the students, but it is not what they want. Therefore, the third phase continues to update iterations, change strategies, and be goal-oriented!
The first training camp adopts the form of recording and broadcasting courses with 55 knowledge points. Students who can persist in completing the course can pop up a complete song. The second training camp, in the form of live classes, features real people. However, due to the influence of summer vacation, few students can watch the live broadcast and fail to achieve the interactive effect.
Therefore, the third training camp used recording and broadcasting classes to talk about song knowledge points and live classes to answer questions.
In the recording and broadcasting class, ppt is placed on the projection screen, and you can see the enlarged version of music theory knowledge points and the enlarged version of music score, which can point to singing and teaching. You can also see the folding piano, just like playing the screen yourself. The folding piano can be moved at any time, and you can see how many bands you have played. In addition to the ppt and folding piano mentioned above, there is my true appearance! Ha ha ha, this recording class needs a little light makeup. In order to have a better image, I specially equipped with makeup tools. Please remember to give me a good comment!
Q&A in the live class will collect your questions in advance. Even if you miss the live broadcast, you can watch my Q&A again ... Because the weekend is busy, the live Q&A is usually arranged in the daytime on weekdays!
In fact, I also plan to teach different songs in each adult piano online course. Hahaha, the third training camp in September. The song is "The Moon Represents My Heart". Remember to sign up if you are interested!
