Chapter 1385: The Structure of Class Twelve 2

~8 min read 1,526 words

However, Teacher Luo still refused.

He shook his head: "Principal, I also came to see you to talk about the Experimental Class."

"Oh? So we see eye to eye? Go ahead."

The Principal sat opposite Teacher Luo, his face full of joy.

But the words Teacher Luo spoke were beyond his expectations!

Teacher Luo opposed dismissing Teacher Tian.

He said there were only a little over a hundred days left until the College Entrance Examination, and since they had already entered the comprehensive review stage, the students' study methods and thinking patterns had already formed into a fixed mode; it would be very difficult for the students to adapt if the head teacher were suddenly changed now.

Moreover, the Experimental Class was the signature of First High School, and having him concurrently serve as the head teacher of Class Three would likely cause dissatisfaction among students and parents.

If the students are dissatisfied, the parents will make a scene, and making a scene will affect their studies; if the results are not good, it will have to be changed again... and by the time they finish changing back and forth, the College Entrance Examination will be here.

Teacher Luo said that a class is also a small society, and managing a class is much like managing a country; if the interior is united, then even the strongest external enemy is not easy to overcome.

But if the interior itself is in chaos, even without an external enemy, it will fall into pieces.

The current situation cannot be solved just by changing the head teacher; the best solution is to appease the parents' emotions and let everything return to normal!

Teacher Luo's words made the Principal look at him with new eyes.

Teacher Tian was always at odds with him and had made things difficult for him more than once, yet when Teacher Tian was down on her luck, he was able to rise above personal grievances and view the situation with a great sense of the big picture.

Actually, he knew these truths as well.

He knew that at such a critical moment, one should not change the head teacher for Class Three; although Teacher Tian had many faults and shortcomings, her teaching ability was truly beyond reproach, and every batch of students she had led had achieved College Entrance Examination scores at the top of the school.

"Teacher Luo, but the problem now is that the parents are all demanding a change of teacher; if we don't change her, it won't be enough to appease the public anger. What do you think we should do?" The Principal threw the difficult problem to Teacher Luo.

"That's easy to handle. You can call a parent meeting and explain the logic clearly to the parents."

Teacher Luo smiled: "I believe the parents will weigh the pros and cons, and they will make the right choice!"

The Principal indeed personally called a parent meeting for Class Three and provided a rational, comprehensive analysis of the pros and cons to the parents from every angle.

In fact, even without this parent meeting, many parents were already regretting it.

At first, some parents were just angry for a moment and hadn't thought it through, while others were just following the crowd and thought even less.

But after the anger was vented, everyone calmed down and thought about it again, only to realize it was inappropriate.

The children still had half a year... no, not half a year, just five months left until the College Entrance Examination.

If they changed the head teacher at this time, what would they do if it affected their academic performance?

A single point could wipe out a whole playground of students, but if their emotions were unstable and their grades plummeted, what then?

Therefore, this parent meeting was held very timely.

What the Principal said was exactly what the students' parents were thinking, and the parent meeting was very successful.

Almost all the parents agreed.

It was "almost" and not "all" because there was one parent who disagreed, firmly disagreed!

This parent was Li Siyu's parent, the parent of the student who had jumped off the building.

Their child was still in the hospital receiving treatment, let alone the College Entrance Examination, even her future life was dim and bleak; Li Siyu's parent believed that all of this was caused by Teacher Tian, and now this matter was just going to be brushed aside lightly?

No way.

But this time, he did not get any support from the other parents.

Except for him, no one else wanted to blow the matter out of proportion.

The Principal proposed a solution—he had a way to help Li Siyu recover quickly and be able to take the College Entrance Examination.

Although Li Siyu had developed mental issues, they were acute; as long as she was not stimulated in the near future, it would be easy for her to recover her health.

The Principal's plan was divided into two steps.

The first step was for Lu Feifei from Class Twelve to step forward and counsel Li Siyu, using her own past experiences to guide her.

In fact, Lu Feifei had already done so, and the results were quite good; Li Siyu's mother and father were also very grateful to this student who was originally in the Experimental Class and later transferred to Class Twelve.

When they were in the same class before, the two children had a good relationship and were very close, so Li Siyu's parents also had a certain understanding of Lu Feifei.

She used to be a very introverted girl, even more introverted than their own Siyu.

But now it was completely different; in just half a year, Lu Feifei seemed like a changed person, becoming sunny and confident.

Before, when she saw them, she could barely even say hello, but now she not only took the initiative to greet them but could also chat freely.

Lu Feifei said that all these changes were the result of changing classes.

The second step was that after Li Siyu was discharged from the hospital, if they were willing, she could transfer to Class Twelve; all the teachers and students of Class Twelve would welcome her!

Li Siyu's parent immediately stated that they would do just that!

Actually, Li Siyu was not the only student who wanted to transfer to Class Twelve; quite a few others also wanted to transfer over.

But after being analyzed by the Principal, they chose to keep things as they were.

Without being pushed to the brink, it is hard to have the courage to burn one's bridges.

The parents stated that they could let Teacher Tian continue to lead the Experimental Class, but every day a student's parent would have to sit in the back to supervise, and if the teacher had any extreme behavior, they would call a halt immediately.

Both sides reached an agreement, and the parents went to the Education Bureau to withdraw their complaint.

Teacher Tian was crying miserably at home when she suddenly received the news that she could return to work, and she was completely stunned.

"Don't joke, those people looked like they wanted to eat me alive; would they let me off so easily?"

The teacher who came to notify her patted his chest and guaranteed: "If I'm lying to you, let the parents of the students in my class revolt too."

Teacher Tian:...

The next day.

She went to the Principal's office to thank him and was shocked again.

The Principal said it was Teacher Luo who pleaded for her, which was why she was able to return to work smoothly.

"Teacher Luo? Impossible, Principal, please don't joke with me..."

The Principal's face darkened: "Teacher Tian, do I look like I'm joking to you? You are a veteran teacher; you know in your heart how such matters were handled in the past."

Teacher Tian:...

That was right, she knew in her heart.

She believed it, and in the office, she took the initiative to speak to Teacher Luo, thanking him and offering to treat him to a meal.

But one sentence from Teacher Luo nearly made her die of anger!

Teacher Luo said: "You don't need to thank me; I fought to keep you not for your sake, but for our bet. You are not allowed to welsh on the debt."

Still bringing up the bet?

If it weren't for that betting agreement, would she have gone as far as to force a student to jump off a building just for the sake of her reputation?

Class Twelve.

A new student arrived in the class, and the students specially put together a small welcome ceremony.

When Li Siyu walked into Class Twelve, everyone applauded.

The Class Monitor even stood on the podium to deliver a welcome speech!

The gist was that with Li Siyu transferring to Class Twelve, the strength of Class Twelve had grown a bit more, and he hoped that classmate Li Siyu would be able to quickly integrate into the group and help the students who were struggling with their studies...
