In Channel A's "Please Help with Grades: Teachers 2," where Korea's top instructors provide customized solutions for students and families worried about their grades, 'English No. 1' Jo Jeong-sik, who is in charge of the solution for a student with severe 'English anxiety', fails the solution for the first time. Ultimately, Jo Jeong-sik faces the unprecedented situation of retrying the solution.
The episode of 'Teachers 2' airing on the 29th features a second-year student from a prestigious high school. The student's school was among the top tier with the first, second, and third best students nationwide. The 'T-Vengers' unanimously acknowledged it as a top-ranking high school among those that have been revealed so far. However, when the student's grades were disclosed, the 'T-Vengers' became somber. The student received grades of 6 for Korean, 5 for math, and 8 for English, resulting in disastrous internal grades due to fierce competition. Furthermore, the student, suffering from severe 'English anxiety,' had a mock exam score of 3, making it difficult to say they were at a top level.
The student first encountered English in the third grade of elementary school without any prior preparation, but as friends had already advanced, the student grew to dislike English. Eventually, frustrated by the inability to raise the English scores as desired, the student vented to their mother, saying, "While my friends attended English kindergarten and went abroad to grow, I feel like I've been left in the dirt, and the seeds have rotted. How can I revive rotten seeds?" This made 'Teachers' moms' Han Hye-jin and Jang Young-ran feel heartbroken, commenting, "It hurts deeply. If this continues, I'll feel so sorry as a mom..." In this situation, Jo Jeong-sik remarked, "To be frank, there is no sign of hope right now," diagnosing the future of the student's English grades as bleak.
Meanwhile, an unprecedented retry of a solution occurs for the first time in 'Teachers.' Jo Jeong-sik and the student aimed to raise the mock exam score by two grades to grade 1, but the student remained at grade 3, marking the first failure of Jo Jeong-sik's solution in 'Teachers.' Jo Jeong-sik, failing to manage the mental state of a frustrated student suffering from severe 'English anxiety,' attempted a retry of the solution. However, the student showed signs of giving up, saying, "I don't have confidence that I can do this." Han Hye-jin and Jang Young-ran, who witnessed the retry of the solution, shed tears, and even Jo Jeong-sik broke down in tears.
