The ‘English 1-stroke’ adjustment formula fails to find a solution for the first time.

Jo Jeong-sik, who was in charge of solving a problem for a student with severe ‘English anxiety’ on Channel A’s ‘Please Give Me Grades: Teachers 2’, is the first ‘Teachers’ member to re-challenge the solution.

On the episode of ‘Teachers 2’ that will air on the 29th, a second-year student from a prestigious high school will appear.

The challenging student’s school was a top-tier school where the top 3 students from all over the country gathered.However, when the challenging student’s grades were revealed, the ‘Teavengers’ faces darkened.

The challenging student received a grade of 6 in Korean, 5 in Math, and 8 in English, which was a terrible grade due to the fierce competition.Also, the challenging student, who suffered from severe ‘English anxiety’, received a grade of 3 in the English mock test, so it was difficult to say that he was at the top level.

The challenging student first encountered English in the third grade of elementary school without prior experience, but because his friends around him were already ahead of him, he came to dislike English.

Eventually, when his English grades did not improve as he had hoped, the challenging student vented his anger at his mother, saying, “My friends went to English kindergartens and studied abroad and grew sprouts, but I feel like a seed that has been left in the dirt and rotted.How can I save a rotten seed?” In response, Han Hye-jin and Jang Young-ran of ‘Teachers Moms’ expressed their feelings, saying, “It hurts.I feel so bad for Mom if this happens…” Jo Jeong-sik calmly diagnosed the future of the challenging student’s English grades as not being bright, saying, “Right now, there seems to be no hope.”

Meanwhile, the first solution re-challenge of ‘Teachers’ occurs.Jo Jeong-sik and the challenging student focused on the solution with the goal of getting the first grade, which is two grades higher than the mock exam, but the challenging student stayed at the third grade, and Jo Jeong-sik’s solution failed for the first time in ‘Teachers’.

Jo Jeong-sik attempted a solution re-challenge for a student who had failed to manage his mental health due to severe ‘English anxiety’ and was frustrated.However, the student seemed to have given up, saying, “I’m not sure I can do it.” Han Hye-jin and Jang Young-ran, who watched the solution re-challenge, also shed tears, and even Jo Jeong-sik burst into tears.
