In the time that followed, right up until the midterm exam, Zhong Yi threw himself wholeheartedly into lesson preparation.
He carefully planned it all, producing five short test papers in total, each one embodying his painstaking effort and wisdom. He weighed the questions again and again, striving to cover every exam point he could think of, so that the students could fully review and consolidate their knowledge.
The midterm exam went by quickly, finished in a single day. Next came the teachers' busy grading routine.
Zhong Yi sat with the other teachers in the office, stacks of test papers before them. They carefully graded every question, occasionally exchanging notes on how the students had answered.
"The questions on this exam are a bit difficult; I don't know how the students did," one teacher said.
Zhong Yi frowned slightly and said, "Yes, I hope the children can all perform to their level."
After the tense grading work, the grades finally came out. It was originally a very ordinary midterm exam, but no one expected that once the grades were released, they would cause a huge stir in Grade 5 Class 1 and Class 2 at Fengfan Primary School.
The top five math scores in Grade 5 at Fengfan Primary School were all from Zhong Yi's classes, and all of them were students in the Little Guardian Class.
This situation was accidentally discovered by one parent, and after he mentioned it in the group, it immediately caught all the parents' attention.
"Wow, the midterm exam results are out, do you know? The top five in Grade 5 math are actually all students from Teacher Zhong's class!" one parent said excitedly in the class group.
"Really? That's too impressive!" another parent responded.
"Yes, and I heard all five of these students attend the Little Guardian Class. Does the Little Guardian Class have some special teaching method?" one parent raised a question.
After all, among the top five, three scored full marks in math, and it's said that fewer than a hundred students scored full marks in math across the entire city.
You have to know there are several hundred primary schools in the whole city; on average, some schools don't have a single student with a full score.
The parents discussed this situation in the group one after another. Some praised Zhong Yi's teaching method, while others began to consider whether to let their own children join the Little Guardian Class.
"Teacher Zhong's teaching method must have something unique about it; otherwise, how could he cultivate such excellent students?" one parent said.
The moment Tian Yulan learned of Yan Ziyou's score, her heart sank to rock bottom.
Math, 92 points. If it were in the past, in Tian Yulan's view this score wasn't top-tier but was still decent.
But right now she was full of anxiety, only because she feared comparison in everything. Thinking that her family's part-time-working rural child, Mi Tao, who had never attended a tutoring class, could score full marks, while her own son, whom she had poured all her heart into and spent countless money to carefully cultivate, had only scored 92 points—needless to say, this made Tian Yulan's heart feel stifled.
She stared blankly at Yan Ziyou's test paper, brow tightly furrowed, muttering to herself: "Zi You, why can't you try a little harder? How can this score do?"
Just then, the mother of Zhang Xinde, a student in Grade 5 Class 1, called Tian Yulan. Her son also attended classes at Zeshu Tutoring Center like Yan Ziyou, so the two had a good relationship and often exchanged various educational insights.
Zhang Xinde's mother's voice on the other end of the phone was full of urgency and doubt: "Zi You's mother, do you think this Little Guardian Class has some trick we don't know about? Did Zhong Yi teach some other content? My son Xinde didn't do well on this exam either, and it's worried me to death. What do you think we should do?"
Tian Yulan, upon hearing this, subconsciously frowned.
But after the previous incident of reporting Zhong Yi, she had become much more cautious.
She pondered for a moment and said: "Probably not. After all, there are so many students, not just one person, and the school has people coming and going all the time. If there were a problem, it would have been discovered long ago."
Zhang Xinde's mother didn't think so, and said urgently: "The school's teachers are all in it together; whoever sees it won't say anything. And now the Little Guardian Class only has Class One and Class Two; the other teachers and students have all gone home after school. Teaching one extra class a day—isn't that simple? Think about it, why is the gap in grades so big? There must be a problem."
Tian Yulan, hearing this, was no longer sure either. She began to waver in her heart. Could it really be that the Little Guardian Class had a problem? She mused and said: "But there's no evidence. You can't just decide there's a problem based on guesswork, can you? If we get it wrong, that won't end well."
Zhang Xinde's mother said: "We can go to the school and take a look. I think we can have our two children each attend the Little Guardian Class for one day, and then we often go to the school in the afternoon to walk around. That way, we should be able to discover some clues. What do you think?"
Tian Yulan hesitated a little and said worriedly: "Wouldn't that be too hasty? And it would also sacrifice the children's time at tutoring class."
Zhang Xinde's mother said: "But we can't just let it go like this. We spent so much money sending our children to tutoring class, just to improve their grades. If the Little Guardian Class has a problem, we can't just sit by and do nothing. We can try it for a week or two first; if we don't find anything, we can think of another approach."
Tian Yulan fell into deep thought. After a while, she said: "Alright then."
Zhang Xinde's mother said: "Good, then we'll do it that way next week. Our Xinde will go to the Little Guardian Class first on Monday." After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Tian Yulan held her mobile phone, sitting on the sofa, her mood very complicated. She didn't know how to choose, her heart full of contradiction and anxiety. She looked at Yan Ziyou's room and silently thought to herself: "Zi You, how on earth should Mother do things to make you more excellent?"
Starting Monday, Zhong Yi, upon entering the classroom, clearly noticed that there were many more children in the Little Guardian Class. He looked around, secretly surprised in his heart. The two classes combined had actually broken twenty people—that was no small change.
At the same time, in the school office, Director Wang was being surrounded by a group of parents from other classes. The parents one after another requested that the school open Little Guardian Classes, speaking their reasons all at once.
"Director Wang, why do only Class One and Class Two have Little Guardian Classes? Our children also need such an opportunity," one parent said urgently.
"Yes, Director Wang, we also want our children to attend the Little Guardian Class and improve their grades," another parent chimed in.
Director Wang explained to them hard for half a day before finally making it clear that the Little Guardian Class was currently only in the trial stage and had not yet reached the time for full implementation. He said patiently: "Parents, the Little Guardian Class is indeed currently in the trial stage. We need to observe for a period of time to see how the effect is. If after verification it is indeed feasible, we will immediately implement it comprehensively. Please wait patiently."
Although the parents were somewhat disappointed, they also understood the school's approach. They one after another expressed hope that the school could promote the Little Guardian Class as soon as possible, so more children could benefit.
Director Wang watched the departing figures of the parents, feeling enormous pressure in his heart. He knew he must evaluate the Little Guardian Class as soon as possible and make the correct decision.
