A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that could change the lives of students and families struggling with grades, Channel A's "Please Help with Grades: Teachers 2" will preview a "national project" to find hope for students in the lower ranks of mathematics, led by the top tutor Jeong Seung-jae.
In the episode of "Teachers 2," airing today, a high school freshman who is popular at school but has lost confidence in his studies will appear. To avoid competition due to his declining grades, the student chose to attend a faraway school, commuting 200 km daily. His mother showed dedication by preparing not only rides for her son but also breakfast lunches. A university professor, she passed down her study notes to him and offered to help him with his studies by keeping a notebook of mistakes.
However, the student's grades corresponded to the new grading system where all major subjects fell into the 40-point range, equating to a third level. When converted to the nine-grade scale, he remained in the lower levels, around fifth to sixth. While examining his study status, Jo Jeong-sik noted, "I will speak very candidly. Just looking at the test papers, it's impossible for a student to be good at studying. I've never seen anything like this before."
Jeong Seung-jae conducted tests to check the student's mathematics status. He said, "This is at the level of fourth grade advanced problems," but when the student saw the long passages, he became frightened and couldn't grasp them. Seeing the student's clear issues, Jo Jeong-sik joined Jeong Seung-jae in offering a joint solution. However, the student needed a lot of time to understand the meaning of the problems themselves.
Jeong Seung-jae stated, "I am a person whose job it is to prove that anyone can achieve a second level in high school mathematics if they know the right study methods. If I were to suggest finding another path, there would be no point in appearing on 'Teachers.' I absolutely want to prove it. I want to show the nation that there is hope," declaring a "national project" aimed at finding hope for students in the lower ranks of mathematics.
Despite being in the lower ranks of mathematics with no basic skills, the high school freshman, who vowed to follow Jeong Seung-jae with all his might, is set to undergo a solution alongside Jeong Seung-jae. The results of the "national project" can be seen in the airing of Channel A's "Please Help with Grades: Teachers 2" on Sunday at 7:50 p.m.
