Knocking on the door was the most basic courtesy.
Valerie replied, “Please come in.”
Jazmine walked in and greeted the parents and teachers present with ease. “Hello, everyone. I am the new teaching consultant, Jazmine. I’m glad to make it.”
When Yoselin saw Jazmine walk in, she was delighted inwardly. She hoped Jazmine would make mistakes so that she could have a better chance to drive her out of school.
“Ms. Gardner, is it the education you received? Come uninvited? We are holding an important meeting here. You are not qualified to participate.”
Yoselin was impolite, completely not hiding the disgust on her face.
On the contrary, Jazmine kept smiling. She was not angry at Yoselin’s provocation. She looked around, her eyes falling on Valerie’s face. “Ms. Boone, am I not welcomed?” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Valerie felt it was strange. She seemed to understand Jazmine’s hidden words.
So Valerie shook her head and said, “Of course not. As the teaching consultant of our school, when the Student Parent Association is holding a meeting, you are qualified to participate in whatever the content of the discussion is. Besides, if you are not qualified to participate, I will not ask someone to invite you. If you really came to the wrong place, then it can only be said I invited the wrong person.”
Jazmine gave a thumb–up to Valerie in her heart.
She was right. Valerie liked her. Even if they had not rehearsed beforehand, Valerie knew how to deal with these people at this time.
Yoselin frowned tightly. “Ms. Boone, do you know what you are saying? We are discussing whether we should increase the position of teaching consultant. How can you let Ms. Gardner, still in the trial period, participate?”
“The trial period?” Jazmine asked.
Valerie continued, “You really should see how Ms. Gardner teaches. Even if it is just a lesson, it is worth us learning. Ms. Larsen, since you have proposed to test Ms. Gardner, I think it is time. Many parents are present, and we can test her fairly and publicly.”
Jazmine still smiled and had no intention of resisting.
When the parents saw her attitude, they understood the teacher, Jazmine, was really not afraid of being
tested.
Yoselin still wanted to retort.
A parent, who remained neutral, said, “I think it’s a good idea. Teachers who newly join the school need to be
tested. Since everyone thinks Ms. Gardner is still in the trial period, she can become an official teacher after
the test. I wonder if this decision will satisfy most people?”
Most of the people nodded.
Even if Yoselin was unhappy, she could not continue to refute.
The minority obeyed the majority. Even if Yoselin was the president of the association, she could not go against this principle.
Valerie nodded at Jazmine and sat back in her seat.
How could Jazmine not know it was an opportunity that Valerie fought for her? If Jazmine had not suddenly come here, she would have been directly eliminated this time.
Yoselin was capable. Jazmine did not expect this guy to react so quickly and wait for her here.
Jazmine smiled at the people around her. “Everyone, which of you is going to come up with the question?”
Jazmine stood under so many pairs of eyes in such a relaxed posture.
Yoselin suddenly thought of a child and said, “I remember Alice is antisocial. We have so many teachers, yet they failed to correct her. If Ms. Gardner is a qualified teacher, there should be no problem.”
When Alice’s name came out, many parents began to whisper. Even the other teachers looked troubled.
Valerie frowned.
But she could not refute it.
Alice was the school’s number one headache and also a big challenge. If Jazmine could really enlighten Alice and let her get on well with others, the achievements Jazmine achieved would be great.
However, the risks involved were also great.
Valerie was hesitating whether to stop the development of the situation when she heard Jazmine agree straightforwardly. “Okay. I accept the challenge. I hope I can have a copy of this child’s information.”
Valerie said, “I have one here. I’ll send it to your email later. Remember to check it.”
Yoselin said proudly, “Ms. Gardner, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Your preparation time is only half an hour. Alice is special, and our test of you is not that strict. If you can persuade her to play with another child in the game room, you will be successful.”
“Okay.”
Jazmine nodded in agreement.
Then, she left to check Alice’s personal information.
It turned out that Alice had autism. Although it was so mild that it had not reached the state of intervention and treatment, it had already caused an obvious difference between her and the others in the school. She just did not like to associate with people.
Alice hid in the corner all day and played alone. Even if she was not aggressive, she was isolated. This semester, her condition was worse.
Alice’s parents seemed to be very busy. Her teachers wanted to communicate with her parents and see if Alice needed to take interventional therapy. However, they had never been able to contact her parents. It was the servants who sent Alice to school and picked her up back home.
Jazmine looked at Alice’s brooding eyes and felt sad. Alice was so young that she didn’t even get to know the world. However, she was forced to face it alone. It was pitiful.
Jazmine came straight to the place where Alice was.
From a distance, she watched Alice sitting alone on the swing and swaying slowly.
At this moment, two children came together, holding hands and laughing. When they saw Alice, the two children stopped for a moment.
Just as they stopped, Alice came down from the swing and left. She changed to a quieter place and sat down in
a daze.
Jazmine walked over.
“Hello, kid. I’m lost. Can you help me?”
Alice looked at Jazmine. Her little face was full of confusion. Perhaps in her world, it was simply beyond imagination that an adult would get lost.
After seeing Jazmine for a long time, Alice silently lowered her head and pointed to the security room aside.
Jazmine was stunned.
She never thought Alice’s logical thinking was so good unlike other autistic children, who would first judge whether there was danger, leave the scene or examine the comer.
Alice did not act like this at all. Instead, she directly solved the problem with one move.
Jazmine was delighted. She felt there was nothing wrong with Alice.
Thus, she walked over to Alice and sat down. Without any doubt, she maintained a certain distance. “Alas,
I’m so stupid. I can’t even think of a problem that even a kid can think of. I’m exhausted from walking. Do you mind me sitting here to rest?”
Alice had been observing Jazmine. Seeing that she completely ignored the dirt and sat on the grass, Alice was confused.
