Replay 07: Opening the Temple of Learning

Chapter 6 The teacher teaches you, you must listen!

Lu Shan seriously corrected Zou Yao's statement.

"I'm not here for a training course. I don't have time for classes."

"I want a place for the training class to participate in the CMO Winter Camp. I can represent the training class in the competition."

"By the way," Lu Shan added, "I don't have any money."

"Training classes also need good students and good grades to advertise."

Lu Shan's smile was pure, revealing his white teeth.

This made Zou Yao laugh and cry. After all this time, this kid wanted to get something for free!

Teacher Chen frowned, feeling that this student was not very down-to-earth. How could there be such a requirement?

There is no such thing as not paying money, not providing training, but only asking for a place.

However, Zou Yao admired Lu Shan's confidence very much.

As a training teacher, he also has the right to recruit students with good grades and reduce or waive tuition fees. After all, if Lu Shan can achieve good results, the advertising effect on Bluebird will be far greater than the training fee.

"The day after tomorrow, Sunday, is our selection exam. Whether you can get a spot depends on your own efforts."

"it is good!"

Lu Shan thought of another thing.

Poincaré wanted data on the final proof of the Poincaré conjecture.

This kind of academic information should not be available on the Internet. Lu Shan is not a college student, and he cannot search for SCI or overseas academic information through the school’s Internet.

Zou Yao might be able to help find it, but it would be better to ask for it after you pass the exam.

"Teacher Zou, can I take the training class materials home and take a look?"

Without saying a word, Zou Yao handed all the exercises from the training over the past few days to Lu Shan.

It is not known whether Zou Yao did it intentionally or unintentionally, but the information he gave to Lu Shan only contained questions but no answers.

Lu Shan expressed his gratitude.

Lu Shan did not return to class for evening self-study immediately, but went to the stationery store and library near the school to buy the necessary things for the Singularity Laboratory.

Such as notebooks, pens, and some books.

Fortunately, the library had English novels, and Lu Shan bought the Chinese-English bilingual version of "Pride and Prejudice" and the first volume of "Harry Potter".

I went to an Internet cafe to look up some important proofs and ideas of the Poincare conjecture over the past century, especially some information on proofs in high dimensions such as four and five dimensions.

Some papers cannot be found, but there are always some ideas.

It is unlikely for Poincare to solve the conjecture in a short period of time, but providing him with some ideas should speed up the progress.

After all, the fruits of mankind's efforts over the past hundred years are still quite useful.

The heroic spirit doesn't need to eat, but Poincare needs to be given some spiritual food, otherwise he will be very bored alone in the Singularity Laboratory, and it would be bad if he became mentally ill and went on strike.

The things Lu Shan planned to bring into the Singularity Laboratory included: English novels, competition review materials, notebooks, pens, college entrance examination English review materials, and some materials about the Poincare conjecture printed from a copy shop.

He also planned to use an electronic dictionary as a translation machine, but the cheapest electronic dictionary cost several hundred yuan, which was too expensive for Lu Shan, who had only fifty yuan for living expenses per week. Even if the school gave him a bonus, he would not be willing to spend it.

Just by buying things, Lu Shan had spent all the money he had saved for several months, and he didn't even have money for food tomorrow.

Thinking that if the Poincare conjecture had not been proved, I would have had a chance to win a one million dollar reward... it hurts.

For now, making money and doing academic research are equally important.

Anything can be brought into the laboratory, but it must comply with the rules of the Starting Point Laboratory.

Lu Shan read the rules in detail and learned that he could bring in items by spending points equivalent to the value of the items.

For example, a new Harry Potter book is worth 15 yuan and costs 0.15 points.

You don't have to carry things into the laboratory by hand. Instead, you spend points and put your own items on the bring-in list. The items will then be backed up in the Singularity Laboratory.

That is, the real world has a book and Singularity Lab has the same book.

There are three evening self-study classes in total for senior high school students, starting at seven and ending at ten.

Except for the first class where the teacher teaches, the second and third classes are left for students to study on their own or answer questions.

Jiangzhou No. 1 High School is one of the top-ranked high schools in Jiangzhou. Many students in the class come from well-off families. They basically do not study in the classroom in the evening, but instead pay for private lessons from teachers.

Because Lu Shan was delayed for a while in the tutoring class, it was already the second evening self-study period when he returned to the classroom.

Shen Qian looked at Lu Shan, not knowing where he had gone during the first class. She whispered, "Director Liao and Teacher Zhang were looking for you just now. They asked you to go to the office."

In the office, Director Liao gave the remaining 2,000 yuan to Lu Shan unhappily, and told him to give it to his mother. He also asked Lu Shan to sign his name and fingerprint on the receipt. Teacher Zhang cared about Lu Shan and planned to use the evening self-study class to tutor her in English.

However, Teacher Zhang also has a headache when it comes to students like Lu Shan who are seriously unbalanced in their studies.

Like other language subjects such as English and Chinese, in addition to answering skills, what is more needed is years of accumulation.

If you score around 90 points in the exam, Teacher Zhang can still find a way for you. If you have poor grammar, you can improve it. If you have poor vocabulary, you can memorize the required words. If you have poor reading skills, you can do more reading to get a feel for it.

But Lu Shan only scored over 40 points, which is full of loopholes. How to make up for it?
There is no way to make up for it!
If you ask a student who only scores 40 or so in English to improve his score to 80 or 90 points in less than half a year, it would be unfair to those students who have worked hard in English for three years.

So Teacher Zhang had no choice but to treat the symptoms and took out the monthly exam papers to explain them.

As for how much Lu Shan can understand, that’s enough.

Besides, Director Liao and Teacher Wang both said that, considering Lu Shan’s family conditions, there’s no need to worry about the cost of giving him special lessons.

These words made Teacher Zhang feel very uncomfortable.

Being a teacher is just a job. Everyone’s time is time.
In the time I spend tutoring Lu Shan, I can earn several hundred yuan by giving private lessons to other students.

"Your score in this English monthly exam has dropped again compared to the final exam of the second year of high school. You only scored 40 points. Even if you chose the wrong answers, you should have scored more than 40 points!"

Teachers like students with good grades.

Teachers also like students who have poor grades but are well-behaved or come from well-off families.

Teachers become impatient and easily get angry with students who have poor grades and come from poor families.

Lu Shan had good grades in science, but was poor in English and Chinese. In addition, he was unable to attend the winter camp and his family was unable to send him abroad. If he took the college entrance examination, he would only get an average score of a second-tier university.

Teacher Zhang feels that his attitude is already very good.

Lu Shan was also recalling and summarizing why his English was so poor in high school.

After his rebirth, he reflected that in addition to his poor foundation, the most important reason was that Teacher Zhang’s teaching method was not suitable for him. She would complain about students all the time, making students constantly doubt themselves and get tired of the subject.

This leads to a vicious cycle.

Teacher Zhang said impatiently: "Go get your monthly test paper and look at your wrong questions."

Lu Shan was determined not to do anything that would waste time. Besides, Teacher Zhang's teaching method was not suitable for him and his attitude was very impatient. How good could the effect of his lecture be?

So Lu Shan said, "No need, Teacher Zhang, I can just memorize the words myself."

Lu Shan's indifferent attitude completely angered Teacher Zhang.

She was extremely busy because she agreed to Director Liao's request to tutor Lu Shan in English, and she also pushed the tutoring of the ten students who were paying for it to after the self-study get out of class, so she would have to wait until twelve o'clock to get back!

Teacher Zhang was furious and scolded her, "You memorized the words yourself, how many words can you memorize? Memorizing the words yourself is useful, but why didn't you get many correct answers in the exam?"

"The college entrance examination is an all-round test, not just math and science. I know you have good grades in science, but if you don't pass the English test, you can only get into a second-tier university at best!"

"Math is 150 points, English is also 150 points. The teacher teaches you well, but you don't study. How can you get 300 points in math?"

"If you don't want to learn English, tell your class teacher and Director Liao. Don't let others think that I am not teaching you!"

Teacher Zhang's scolding silenced the entire conference room, and everyone was looking to see which unlucky student had offended Teacher Zhang.

Lu Shan was not angry either. In fact, he could understand the difficulties of every teacher.

After all, teachers are also human beings. They have their own families and want to earn more money. High school teachers have an enormous workload and pressure, and they cannot treat every student as attentively as saints.

However, Lu Shan did not agree with Teacher Zhang's attitude and approach.

Lu Shan was too lazy to talk to Teacher Zhang anymore. He saw a discarded English test paper in the trash can under Teacher Zhang's desk.

Lu Shan picked up the test paper.
