Chapter 582: The Child of One's Own Family

He explained, "Although student Shi Ran sleeps in class, her performance is actually very good..."

Shi Youxuan interrupted him: "Sleeping in class is called good performance? Is this how you teach and educate people? Fine, you can go back."

She had originally intended to wait until Shi Ran got home from school to discipline the child, and wait until Lady Qi was gone to pursue the teacher's issue, but since things had already reached this point, there was no need to hide it anymore.

"Shi Ran, get out here right now!" she shouted, standing at the classroom door.

Shi Ran had already been woken up by a classmate and knew that her mother had seen her sleeping in class.

Knowing she had done wrong, Shi Ran was reluctant, but she also knew she couldn't hide from it, so she shuffled out and stood before her mother.

The little girl had sharp eyes and saw Lady Qi standing beside her mother.

"Hello, Auntie Qi." Even at a time like this, she didn't forget to greet her; this mindset was truly impressive.

"Hello!"

In fact, the most awkward person right now wasn't Shi Youxuan, nor was it Shi Ran, but Lady Qi.

She had just come to find a school for her son, only to see such a scene; could it be any more awkward?

How was she supposed to address this?

She couldn't advise against it; sleeping in class was wrong, after all.

But she couldn't criticize her either.

She had originally prepared a bellyful of praise for Shi Youxuan's two children; the younger one was easy to praise, no matter how naughty Sheng Zichen was, it was easy to compliment him—he was just a child, it was normal to be ignorant.

But she couldn't bring herself to praise Shi Ran.

She couldn't very well say at a time like this—Ranran, you are so amazing, you've reached a new level compared to when you were little!

When she was little, she fought with boys and almost fell to her death while competing to climb a sculpture; now that she's older, she doesn't play dangerous sports but sleeps in class instead—is this safer?

That wouldn't be building a friendship; it would be making an enemy.

Lady Qi was very awkward, but Shi Ran grabbed onto Lady Qi as a lifeline just in time.

"Auntie, are you here to send Qi Heng to school? You made the right choice in choosing our school; our school spirit is good, our grades are good, and our software and hardware are top-tier nationwide. If you don't believe me, let my mother accompany you to walk around and take a look at each place."

"Goodbye, Auntie. Excuse me, I have to go to the restroom."

The little girl ran toward the restroom in a flash, not even leaving her mother time to react.

"You brat, you can run from the monk, but you can't run from the temple; I'll settle the score with you when we get home." Shi Youxuan said this through gritted teeth.

The campus tour ended hastily.

Returning to the Principal's office, Qi Heng's exam had just finished.

The interview went quite well, and the Principal was very satisfied with Qi Heng's performance, but because the educational philosophies of the two countries were different, Qi Heng's written test results were not ideal.

Not to mention the Rocket Class, he couldn't even keep up with the progress of the regular class in the same grade!

The Principal and Shi Youxuan had the same idea: they both suggested that Lady Qi let Qi Heng start from the first grade.

However, his student status would be placed in the second grade, and he would just stay in the first-grade classroom for a while; if he could keep up with the progress, he could be transferred to the second grade at any time.

Lady Qi readily agreed and immediately processed the enrollment procedures for Qi Heng.

Shi Youxuan parted ways with Lady Qi at the school gate and turned back to return.

Principal's office.

The math teacher was called over, and Shi Youxuan demanded that he give her an explanation in front of the Principal.

Today, she wasn't using her identity as Chairman to talk to the teacher, but as a student's parent, demanding that the teacher explain to a mother why he could turn a blind eye to her child sleeping in class?

Although Shi Youxuan didn't use her status to pressure him, the teacher still felt a lot of pressure.

The young teacher's face turned bright red, and he stammered, "I'm sorry, Chairman, this matter is my fault."

Shi Youxuan: "Of course it's your fault, but I want to hear the reason."

If the teacher could give special treatment in class just because Shi Ran was her daughter, then there was no need for such a teacher to remain at the school.

The teacher pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Student Shi Ran is no longer suited for the Rocket Class. She knows everything I teach, and she even knows things I don't. If she doesn't sleep in class, she can't help but interrupt, but if I follow her pace to teach, the other students can't keep up."

Shi Youxuan:...

Her bellyful of anger suddenly dissipated by seventy or eighty percent.

There were thousands of reasons for sleeping in class, but she just hadn't expected it to be this one!

"You go back first and teach as usual." Shi Youxuan waved her hand at him.

The teacher left, and the Principal also apologized to Shi Youxuan.

He said that he actually knew about this matter and the teacher had reported it to him, but the reason he hadn't reported it to the Chairman was because he hadn't yet thought of the best way for Shi Ran.

Shi Ran was a rare genius in mathematics.

If it were in the past, he would have suggested sending Shi Ran to the Genius Class or the Youth Class for focused cultivation.

But things are different now; the Genius Classes held in previous years were indeed very famous at the time, making a name for themselves for a while.

However, after the heat faded, those geniuses who were pinned with high hopes by everyone would all encounter one problem or another!

Some problems were discovered and corrected in time, and they could still become pillars of society.

But more often, the problems were irreparable, subsequently ruining the child's life.

This was also the main reason why Genius Classes in universities had become fewer and fewer in recent years, and some schools had even stopped running them altogether.

Growth cannot take shortcuts; if one misses what one should experience during this process, problems will arise at a certain stage.

And the later the problems appear, the more painful it is...

Shi Youxuan completely agreed with the Principal's words.

The school's Rocket Class progressed faster than the regular classes, but the academic system was the same, which was different from the Genius Class.

The cultivation of students' morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor was not lacking in any aspect; it wasn't just about focusing on academic grades!

The logic was clear, but Shi Ran sleeping in class was still wrong; she couldn't just sleep in class because she knew the material, what would the other students think?

The Principal discussed with Shi Youxuan that he had an idea: he wanted to let Shi Ran be a substitute teacher, specifically clearing out a classroom for her to teach students who were good at mathematics, so they could progress together.

Shi Youxuan asked, "Principal, did I hear you correctly? You are saying to let Shi Ran teach students who are good at their studies?"

The Principal smiled and said, "Yes, you heard correctly."

His reasoning was: students who are good at mathematics have sharper minds than ordinary students and have faster acceptance capabilities.

However, Shi Ran is too young; while she is good at mathematics, her teaching ability is insufficient, and her patience is even worse.

Letting her teach ordinary children would only further highlight the difference between the two; in that case, Shi Ran would have no sense of accomplishment, and the students being taught would also feel more discouraged!

But letting her lead students with good grades is different.

Students with good grades all have a spirit of not wanting to lose; if you can do it, why can't I?

When everyone is together, the gap is not as obvious as heaven and earth; a moderate gap will better stimulate the motivation to pursue.

In this way, everyone competing in their studies together can also invisibly cultivate a sense of competition among the children.

Ginger is indeed spicier when it is older.

The Principal's decades of teaching experience were certainly not for nothing; this is truly cunning... no, far-sighted.

Shi Youxuan nodded: "Fine, let's do as you say."

Before she left the school, the Principal urged her that after the child finished school, she should still discipline her if discipline was needed.

Even if the reason is known, this process cannot be skipped!

Setbacks, grievances, and being misunderstood.

These are all things that one needs to experience during the process of growing up.

If one has too little or none of this in childhood, it will be very difficult for a person to face it calmly after growing up.
