Replay 07: Opening the Temple of Learning

Chapter 24 I can’t control this student!
teacher's office.

Teacher Wang is correcting the homework for the math class test.

Obviously, Lu Shan got full marks again.

In Lu Shan's opinion, math problems of this difficulty are not even an appetizer.

English teacher Zhang kept checking the time on his phone, and then said to teacher Wang impatiently, "Teacher Wang, this Lu Shan is not a decent person, and Lu Shan's mother is not a decent person either!"

"He hasn't even shown up at the appointed time. Who has the time to wait for him? I have classes soon."

"It is true that what kind of family you have will produce what kind of students you have."

Hearing Teacher Zhang's endless criticism of Lu Shan, Teacher Wang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Teacher Wang didn't know why Teacher Zhang hated Lu Shan so much. On the contrary, he thought Lu Shan was a good kid, down-to-earth and simple, and most importantly, good at math.

Teacher Wang thought that when teachers look at students, they probably look at them from two aspects: one is academic performance, and the other is family situation.

Teacher Zhang usually dresses fashionably and has frequent contact with parents of students whose families are better off.

Firstly, Lu Shan’s English grades are not good, and secondly, his family conditions are indeed not good. No wonder Teacher Zhang doesn’t like him.

There are all kinds of people in the world, and with so many teachers in a school, each teacher has his or her own personality and preferences.

Teacher Wang could only sigh and say, "Teacher Zhang, please wait patiently. Lu Shan's mother is busy working to make money, so she will definitely be here soon."

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Lin Yan came in.

Lin Yan knocked on the door very politely and smiled awkwardly towards the office.

Teacher Wang quickly welcomed Lin Yan in, poured her some water, and asked her to sit down.

But both Teacher Wang and Teacher Zhang noticed that Lin Yan was still holding vegetables in her hands?
The vegetables were packed in white plastic bags. In order to keep them fresh, Lin Yan sprayed some water on the vegetables.

Water was still dripping on the floor when Lin Yan walked into the office.

When Teacher Zhang saw this scene and heard Lin Yan's dusty peasant clothes and her rooster-like voice, he felt very disgusted.

I couldn't help but step back and didn't take the initiative to greet Lin Yan like Teacher Wang did.

"Hey, Mom Lu Shan, why did you bring some food here? You can't bring these things into the office. Just leave them at the door."

Lin Yan said hurriedly: "These are all seasonal Chinese cabbage and spinach. I picked them carefully and didn't use any pesticides. I'm bringing some for the teachers as a token of my appreciation."

While Lin Yan was selling vegetables today, she thought about it and remembered that the teacher's tone was not very good when he called her. It must be something that Lu Shan encountered in school.

She also told the neighbors in the stalls on both sides about her son's situation.

As a result, the neighbors on both sides of the stalls told Lin Yan that the current school atmosphere is completely different from the era when they were studying.

Nowadays, not only students are required to perform well, but parents also have to perform well.

The most important thing is to "pay tribute" to the teachers, that is, to give them red envelopes, gifts, shopping cards or cosmetics during festivals.

This was the first time Lin Yan had heard of such a situation, and she reflected on herself.

Lu Shan has studied at Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School for so many years, but she has never given a gift to her teacher.

One is from a small county and doesn’t quite understand these things.

Of course, what’s more important is that family conditions do not allow it.

So this time, Lin Yan bravely brought the freshest vegetables. She thought that seasonal vegetables without pesticides would be more practical than moon cakes and the like.

Teacher Wang said he understood, but he couldn't accept it. He quickly said, "Oh, no, no, Mrs. Lu Shan, you are really too polite. Please take a seat."

Teacher Zhang had a look of disgust on his face and felt extremely ashamed. How could the students he taught have such parents!

Teacher Wang said, "Lu Shan's mother, we invited you here this time mainly to discuss Lu Shan's English learning problems and the upcoming college entrance examination."

Finally, Teacher Wang told Lin Yan that Lu Shan was not qualified to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad Winter Camp and came back after four days. He also asked Lin Yan if she knew about it.

Lin Yan was dumbfounded and anxious. His son didn't even tell him such an important matter.

This means that Lu Shan still has to take the college entrance examination and take the English test, so the path to taking shortcuts is definitely out of the question.

As soon as the teacher saw Lin Yan’s extremely surprised expression, he knew that Lu Sheng must not have communicated this matter with his family.

Now Teacher Zhang found a topic.

"Lu Shan is so unreasonable. He didn't even communicate with you about such a big thing." Teacher Zhang opened her mouth and wrapped her emotions in her words, speaking them out all at once.

"Mother Lu Shan, take a look. This is what we dictated this morning. Your son handed in a blank sheet of paper."

Teacher Zhang angrily threw Lu Shan's dictation book in front of Lin Yan.

"They say the college entrance exam is the only chance to change your destiny!"

"The college entrance examination is a comprehensive examination of multiple subjects, not just mathematics or comprehensive science."

"We teachers are aware of your family's situation, so we are doing our best to help Lu Shan."

"I didn't even go home after evening self-study. I even called Lu Shan over to give him private lessons."

"Guess what your son said. He said he just needs to memorize some words and doesn't need me to give him extra lessons. What's his attitude?"

"You think I want to tutor him? He has to study until 9:00 in the evening. Who doesn't have a family, children, or a husband? I haven't even gone home yet, and I want to tutor him, but he's not happy about it."

"Okay, let's not talk about the extra classes, let's talk about this morning's dictation."

"You really don't know any words, but you should at least know the Chinese meaning of one or two. But he didn't write a single word and handed it to me like that."

"With Lu Shan's learning attitude and his current English grades, if his English score in the college entrance examination can get above 50 points, I will take his last name."

"His English grades are not good, but he wanted to take shortcuts and participate in some competition. But now he can't even participate in the competition. I want to see what he will do."

"Mother Lu Shan, I can't teach your son. I won't grade his English homework and test papers from now on. You, as his mother, will take care of it."

Teacher Zhang didn't care. That's just her personality.

Instead, it was Teacher Wang who kept persuading both sides.

Teacher Wang said kindly and earnestly: "Lu Shan's science scores are pretty good, but his English is a little weak."

"Students' learning is a three-dimensional process, which means that students themselves, their schools and their parents need to work together to achieve good results."

"Mother Lu Shan, you should go back and do some ideological work on Lu Shan and make him correct his attitude towards learning English."

Lin Yan became anxious when she heard this. She never expected her son to be such a mess at school.

She was anxious, and she thought about how her whole family had worked so hard to come to Jiangzhou City to work just so that her son could get a good score in the college entrance examination.

She had never expected such a thing to happen, and she couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears.

Lin Yan cried and apologized, "Teacher Zhang, Teacher Wang, I'm really sorry. I didn't educate the child well and caused you trouble."

"I apologize to you. I will severely criticize Lu Shan when I get back and ask him to sincerely apologize to you. Please give him another chance."

"I promise that Lu Shan will make you study English seriously, correct your attitude, and not cause trouble for the teacher."

Lin Yan was crying and wiping her tears with her gray-black sleeves. Teacher Zhang felt sick watching this scene.

Teacher Zhang was too lazy to talk to Lin Yan and said impatiently, "Alright, alright, teach your own child well. Let's stop here today. I have another class soon."

Teacher Wang consoled her and said, "Aiya, Lu Shan's mother, we are not criticizing Lu Shan. We are just discussing some of the situations that Lu Shan encountered in his studies. That's enough. You can go back first."

Lin Yan apologized again, and left the office crying and anxiously. She didn't know how she got back.

Teacher Wang sighed as he looked at the vegetables left in the office. The vegetables were indeed good. Since they were Lin Yan's gift, he decided to take them back.

Of course, it was not free. Teacher Wang took out 50 yuan from his bag and prepared to give it to Lu Shan later. After all, Lu Shan's family conditions were indeed very specific.

Teacher Wang stuffed the remaining vegetables into Teacher Zhang's hands and said, "Teacher Zhang, you should keep this gift from Lin Yan's mother. I will give the money to Lu Shan later. I think these vegetables are really good and they are not sprayed with pesticides."

Teacher Zhang couldn't refuse, so she had to take the vegetables in her hands, but as soon as she walked downstairs, she threw the vegetables directly into the trash can.

It was so heavy that she was too lazy to lift it.

Who cares about vegetables?
At this moment, Teacher Wang suddenly received a call from the principal, asking him to go to the principal's office.
