Chapter 243: Chapter 236 How can there be such a teacher
Teacher Jin could affirm this point, and it wasn’t just her opinion, but one shared by many substitute teachers. Even though the overall academic performance of Class One was not high, the students were very diligent and there were no bad students. Perhaps there were a few who had got in through connections, but they were all good students who wanted to apply themselves and work towards university in the future.
“Heh heh…” Teacher Song sneered, “Take your students from your class, for instance. They openly flirt and court in public. This doesn’t just set a bad example for your class, but if other classes see it, what if they emulate it? Would our school still have a high college entrance rate? Would our students still be able to get into Qing University and Normal University?”
This accusation was so overbearing that no one could shoulder it. There was no one who dared to take such a blame.
Shattering the century-old reputation and entrance rate of our school was absolutely unimaginable.
The other teachers also felt uncomfortable upon hearing these words.
“Indeed, Teacher Jin, as teachers, we need to pay attention not only to our students’ academic performance but also to their moral character. How can they engage in romantic relationships at this age? This is a critical time for them to focus on their futures. You need to supervise them.”
“Teacher Jin, no offense, but how could such a thing happen at our school? I think Teacher Song is right, your class doesn’t seem to care about university entrance, but ours does.”
These blunt accusations visibly upset Teacher Jin.
“Teacher Song, you should not slander others.”
Teacher Jin held back the tears welling up in her eyes. They could not make such allegations against her or her students, for her students were all good. Who said it was only students from other classes that aimed for university? Her students also aimed for the same goal.
“Am I slandering?”
Teacher Song sneered again, “If I’m not telling the truth, let’s ask your students. It wasn’t just I who saw it.”
“Teacher Song, then bring those students here so we can get a clear understanding,” the old principal said, intending to maintain neutrality and protect Teacher Jin a bit. After all, everyone knew that the old principal had been classmates with Teacher Jin’s father.
Teacher Song twitched her mouth and sneered internally, “I want to see how you’re going to protect her this time. If I don’t get this woman kicked out of our school, then my name is not Song.”
At that moment, Tang Yuxin, Xu Miaomiao, and Chen Lidong were sitting together, working on the assignments for the day. The lessons for the day were difficult, so they had been discussing for quite a while, attracting many other students to listen in. Their lively discussion and integration of their own ideas resulted in other people also understanding, and they started to benefit greatly from it.
Chen Lidong laughed, showing off his dazzling white teeth.
“I told you my solution was right, and it’s the simplest one.”
“You’re just guessing,” Xu Miaomiao made a face at Chen Lidong. She was unwilling to admit defeat. Ever since high school started, she had begun to struggle. If Tang Yuxin was not counted, who didn’t even seem human but some sort of unknown and incomprehensible creature to them.
What frustrated her most was that her cousin, Chen Lidong, who used to perform worse than her academically, was now thriving in high school. No matter how difficult the question was, it seemed easy for him. He could even compete and argue with Tang Yuxin, and sometimes his answers were even correct.
Therefore, as Tang Yuxin said, Chen Lidong was actually very smart. The reasons he did not do well in his studies were his method, environment, and mentality. As long as he adjusted these three points, it would be easy for him to enter university.
Looking at Chen Lidong’s current performance, even without an exam, judging by his understanding of the subjects and his proficiency, he was bound to make it to university, especially with the benefit of having Tang Yuxin, who was extremely good at guessing questions, by his side.
They did not have to worry about Tang Yuxin at all. Her study and exam skills were beyond the understanding of common people. Her exam score almost always reflected whichever rank she wanted, she could even control the score line down to a decimal point. Xu Miaomiao knew this well. Yuxin once deliberately got a simple question wrong just to make her score a lucky number. Yuxin thought Miaomiao wouldn’t notice, but her eyes were wide open.
Just as they were still discussing the answer to this question, which had become a topic of discussion for the entire class, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open.
Teacher Song walked in with a stern face, pointed at Tang Yuxin, Xu Miaomiao, and Chen Lidong, and said,
“You three, come with me.”
The classroom instantly fell into silence, so quiet that one could have heard a pin drop.
Tang Yuxin stood up, and Xu Miaomiao glanced at her.
She asked with her eyes,”What’s going on?” They were just studying quietly in the classroom and had not offended anyone. Especially Teacher Song, who couldn’t have come to trouble them just because their voices were too loud and disturbed Class Five, the top class, could she?
But, Class Five and their Class One were on different floors, with Class One on the third floor and Class Five on the ground floor. The first floor was a great location, cool in summer and warm in winter. But how exactly did they disturb Class Five from three floors away? What did they do to upset the teacher of Class Five?
Tang Yuxin shook her head. She didn’t know either.
Xu Miaomiao pulled Chen Lidong’s clothes, and Chen Lidong shrugged, indicating that he didn’t know either.
They were still secretly exchanging glances. Young as they were, they should have been studying not chattering. As soon as the words came out of Teacher Song’s mouth, they all seemed to take on a different meaning.
“Just because you’re in a lower performing class doesn’t mean you can slack off in other aspects. With your marks, do you really think you can make it to university?”
This disparaging comment was offensive and the students’ faces instantly darkened.
One female student burst into tears on hearing this, slumping onto her desk, while the male students clenched their fists in anger.
“You three, come with me,” Teacher Song sneered at Tang Yuxin and her friends before strutting out like a peacock.
“How can a teacher behave like this?” A female student clenched her fists, “We haven’t offended anyone. We are just a little behind in our grades, who have we provoked?” She wiped the tears from her eyes as she spoke.
