Please Have Some Tea

When we say "please have some tea (请你喝茶) " among friends, it does mean going to a teahouse for tea together. But nowadays, this is generally limited to older people, as younger people always choose to meet for coffee or milk tea.
In many cases, in Chinese, "inviting someone to have some tea" means to want to "talk" to you, implying that you do something wrong, and you should be more careful in your behavior and speech. We will use the phrase "the police invite you to have some tea (警察请你去喝茶)" to mean that you have been summoned by the police. This is especially true when you have been summoned by the police because you have left "incorrect" comments on the Internet or have used VPN. "The leader invites you to tea (领导请你去喝茶)" means that the leader is looking for you to talk, implying that you must have done something wrong and the leader wants to criticize you.
I went to an elementary school today and the class monitor 's comments annoyed me. It is a 2nd grade class. She started by asking directly which students with poor grades wanted to be invited to tea by the Chinese teacher (a teacher in charge of their class)? They were warned to be obedient. And reminds them that they have all been called by their teacher many times. I don't like the phrase "low achievers", especially in the face of their classmates to satire them. Then it seems that one boy said something, and then the class monitor asked for a classmate to escort him to the class teacher's office to confess.
Before class, she asked everyone to take out their extracurricular books to be read, and inspected them one by one, and repeatedly threatened that the students who did not take out their books, she would have the Chinese teacher invite him to tea. She threatened to have her mother (a nurse) sew his mouth shut if he made a noise. I don't understand why the students were not allowed to play for a while before class started. It's creepy to pretend to take out a book when you only have a few minutes before class. It was one of the best elementary schools in my city, but this kind of classmate relationship scared me to death.

Please Have Some Tea

When we say "please have some tea (请你喝茶) " among friends, it does mean going to a teahouse for tea together.

But nowadays, this is generally limited to older people, as younger people always choose to meet for coffee or milk tea.

We will use the phrase "the police invite you to have some tea (警察请你去喝茶)" to mean that you have been summoned by the police.

If you say will there, it sounds like it is something specific you are planning

This is especially true when you have been summoned by the police because you have left "incorrect" comments on the Internet or have used a VPN.

"The leader invites you to tea (领导请你去喝茶)" means that the leader is looking for you to talk to you, implying that you must have done something wrong and the leader wants to criticize you.

you could also say wants to talk to you

I went to an elementary school today and the class monitor 's comments annoyed me.

She started by asking directly which students with poor grades wanted to be invited to tea by the Chinese teacher (a teacher, who was in charge of their class)?.

You don't need to use a question mark at the end because it is not a question. It's saying the teacher is asking the students directly, not that it is a question.

AndShe remindsed them that they have all been called by their teacher many times.

It should be in past tense like the other verbs in the previous sentences.

I don't like the phrase "low achievers", especially in the facefront of their classmates to satirewho might mock them.

You could also say might make fun of them

Then it seems that one boy said something, and then the class monitor asked for a classmate to escort him to the class teacher's office to confess.

She threatened to have her mother (a nurse) sew his mouth shut if he made any noise.

Noise can mean both a single noise or just sound in general. It sounds much better to use any here.

It's creepsilly to pretend to take out a book when you only have a few minutes before class.

or useless
Creepy is more for someone who is staring or following you, it is someone slightly scary or trying to be inappropriately romantic.

Feedback

You write very well in English!
