Chapter 769: Are you even running this school?

No matter where one is, people are always categorized and classified.

Classified as strong or weak.

Classified as useful or useless.

Or perhaps classified as exploitable versus worthless.

And in a prestigious school like this, the classification of students in the eyes of the teachers is even simpler and purer.

Third, sixth, or ninth rate?

That's not thorough enough. As a fully private high school, "Guoan High School" implements full-day boarding. Most families who can afford to send their children here are parents too busy with business and work to look after them.

And such families almost all possess a modest amount of economic power.

Therefore, teachers divide students into grades: rich, very rich, and extremely rich.

Children from these families also tend to share a common flaw: a lack of parental care and companionship, leading to deficits in upbringing and character.

So, it is almost an inevitable result: what kind of character will an adolescent boy or girl develop, who is free from financial worries, lives in luxury, and lacks parental discipline?

The answer is obvious.

Yet, while the school should have been the final sanctuary for these children, it is actually another, more realistic and cruel "society."

Teachers also compare students and their parents. Especially for those acting as homeroom teachers, not to mention Teacher's Day, even during ordinary holidays, they always receive expensive gifts from parents.

At these times, the class division becomes even clearer. Whichever parent gives a more expensive and thoughtful gift, she naturally takes better care of that student, thereby receiving even more satisfying gifts next time.

Shen Ci knew she had overlooked this link, and combined with the fact that Shen Min was fundamentally different from these rich young ladies and masters, she was being looked down upon.

But this is a distorted phenomenon to begin with. Since when did it become a special case for parents to bribe teachers for special treatment?

This behavior is rampant all over the country, not limited to elite private schools, but that does not mean this behavior is right.

If one doesn't show appreciation to the teacher, must the student face and endure these things?

That is not the logic!

She is going to stand up for Shen Min today; she must get justice for her!

Facing Shen Ci's questioning, the teacher was speechless. Shen Ci gave a contemptuous smile: "I wouldn't say you can't afford to offend them; it should be that you are reluctant to offend them."

"You've received plenty of benefits, haven't you? If you can't even handle conflicts between classmates and have to drag the other party's parents into it, you're afraid of drawing their dissatisfaction and losing a source of income, right?"

Pointing it out so blatantly made these obscure matters a sensitive area for all the teachers present.

Because these people also know that doing this is wrong, but human nature cannot withstand the test; few people can truly resist such temptation.

Teacher Li snapped back to reality, defending herself with shame and anger: "Don't talk nonsense! Be careful, or I'll sue you for slander!"

"Whether it's nonsense or not, you know in your heart." Shen Ci remained lighthearted, saying the most terrifying things in the calmest tone: "If I make a report call to the Education Bureau, do you think I could take down this entire office of yours? Are you even running this school?"

The other teachers in the office lowered their heads in unison, their palms sweating with nervousness.

Everyone knew that not a single person in this room had a clean record; all of them had received things from parents to varying degrees. ===== CHAPTER 770 =====
