Chapter 1386: The Structure of Class Twelve 3

~8 min read 1,433 words

In Class Twelve, it is a tradition and an honor for students with good grades to help those with poor grades; one must not wait for the students with poor grades to ask, but instead take the initiative to ask them...

He is humorous and witty in his speech, often making the whole class burst into laughter, and Li Siyu also pursed her lips and smiled.

Being a newcomer, she had an excellent impression of Class Twelve.

The atmosphere here is different from her original class, and different from what her original head teacher said.

Back in the Experimental Class, Teacher Tian often spoke ill of Class Twelve, saying they were all poor students, not only failing in their studies but also in their character...

She also said that the reason Class Twelve has good grades is all because the top student Shi Ran leaks the test questions; she can calculate what kind of exam will have what kind of questions, which is why Class Twelve's grades have risen so quickly.

It is purely opportunistic; just wait until the College Entrance Examination, Class Twelve will definitely be dumbfounded!

Li Siyu had only been in Class Twelve for half a day, and her perspective changed drastically; it was nothing like what Teacher Tian said!

The study atmosphere here is very good, especially good.

It is positive and upward, filled with sunshine everywhere.

Her previous classmates were terrified of being overtaken by those behind them, so they studied desperately hard, yet acted as if they didn't like studying in front of others to paralyze their peers.

The current classmates have competition too, but it is all out in the open.

Students with good grades take the initiative to help those with poor grades, and they aren't afraid of being caught up to or surpassed, because in their hearts, they don't limit themselves to one class, but have a long-term vision, holding themselves to the standards of provincial rankings.

The benefit of doing this—classmates in the same class are not competitors, but comrades-in-arms rushing to the battlefield together!

Only with more comrades-in-arms by one's side can one go further and walk a broader path!

Li Siyu quickly integrated into the collective of Class Twelve, and during the next follow-up check, the doctor announced to her parents: "Congratulations, all of the child's psychological indicators have returned to normal."

This indicates that she can take the College Entrance Examination, and her future life is also on the right track.

Li Siyu's parents made a silk banner and sent it to the school to thank Teacher Luo, almost kneeling down to him.

A thousand words could not express their gratitude.

Class Twelve also became famous once again on its original foundation.

After finishing class, Teacher Tian returned to the office and saw a group of teachers surrounding Teacher Luo and praising him from outside the window, and she felt a bit bitter inside.

Such a scene was very familiar, only the person being praised like stars surrounding the moon had always been her.

Now people were still surrounding someone like stars and praising them endlessly, but the person being praised had changed to Teacher Luo.

She felt bitter, but she couldn't say anything; her prestige was far less than before, especially since Teacher Luo had just helped her solve a big problem.

She wasn't stupid and wouldn't look for trouble to her own face.

Near the end of the workday, Teacher Tian went to Teacher Luo's desk and said sincerely: "Teacher Luo, you helped me so much last time, and I've been thinking about how to thank you. I'm afraid you wouldn't dare accept a gift, and the school doesn't allow it either, so I prepared a table of home-cooked food at home and would like to invite you and your wife to eat at my place."

"No need, Teacher Tian, everyone is doing it for the students' sake, no need for special thanks." After he confronted Teacher Tian last time, although their relationship wasn't as hostile as before, they still tried to avoid speaking to each other as much as possible.

Because their educational philosophies were too different, those with different paths cannot make plans together.

He didn't expect Teacher Tian to take the initiative to invite him to dinner today, and he didn't want to go.

But Teacher Tian was very determined, pestering him if he didn't go, and Teacher Luo found it hard to refuse such kindness, so he agreed!

After work, he was the only one who went to Teacher Tian's house for dinner.

His wife had returned to their hometown and was not there.

He didn't go empty-handed; on the way, he ignored Teacher Tian's protests and insisted on buying some fruit and two bags of high-end nutritional supplements.

Whether they eat it or not is one thing, but the proper etiquette cannot be skipped.

Upon arriving at Teacher Tian's home, he received a very warm welcome, and Teacher Tian cooked in person, preparing a table of good dishes.

Although they were all home-cooked, the taste was quite good, and Teacher Tian's spouse even opened a bottle of white liquor, wanting to have a few drinks with him.

The school has regulations that teachers are not allowed to drink alcohol, whether at school or after school.

Teacher Luo therefore declined and used tea instead of wine!

Back at home, Teacher Tian put away the sternness and aggressiveness she had at school and chatted very amiably.

She even took the initiative to apologize for the incident last time.

Teacher Luo is the type of person who responds to soft tactics but not hard ones; he certainly wasn't afraid of a head-on collision, not afraid of anything, but Teacher Tian was sincerely apologizing for the incident last time.

She said she had worn colored glasses when looking at people back then, and had assumed that he was leading Class Twelve for his own benefit and so on.

If things were open and honest, he was willing to accept it.

The atmosphere during the meal was fairly harmonious, but Teacher Tian said one sentence that instantly dropped the temperature by several degrees.

She said: "Teacher Luo, could you let the sister of your class's Sheng Zichen also create one-on-one study plans for the students in our class?"

Teacher Luo refused immediately, refusing crisply and cleanly: "No."

"Are you afraid that our class will surpass yours?"

"No, thinking that way means you are using a narrow mind to judge me; it's too petty..."

Teacher Luo told her righteously why he couldn't!

What the Experimental Class lacks now is not study methods, but a good mindset and a positive attitude toward life.

That's right, third-year high school students do indeed need to make studying their primary task; studying is important, but it is not the only thing!

In their long lives ahead, the College Entrance Examination is only one important step; it cannot determine their entire life.

Teacher Tian was disdainful: "You say it lightly, but until now, the College Entrance Examination is still the most convenient and fairest way to achieve class mobility, bar none!"

Teacher Tian has been a veteran teacher for many years, having heard too many such words and seen too many students from poor family backgrounds who didn't get into good universities in the College Entrance Examination, and whose later lives were the same as their parents', struggling and toiling for their daily meals.

The reason Teacher Luo and Sheng Zichen hit it off and were on the same wavelength in their thinking,

is because they both live in families that do not lack money.

Although Teacher Luo's original family is not as wealthy as the Sheng Family, his parents have stable incomes and the family is well-off.

Only children without umbrellas must learn to run in the rain, and Teacher Tian is a child without an umbrella.

She grew up in the mountains, and her college tuition was paid for by her father selling the family's only cow, her mother selling blood, and the villagers stitching together a few eggs and a handful of flour to support her.

The opportunity to attend school did not come easily, so naturally, Shi Ran would cherish it a thousand times over.

Both teachers' thoughts were not wrong; it was just that different environments led to different results.

But before Teacher Luo left her home, she did not agree to Teacher Tian's request!

After all, Shi Ran is Zichen's sister, not his sibling, so it should not be up to Sheng Zichen to make decisions for her.
