Chapter 25: A Heavy Curriculum
"Kostler, get up. β
Kostler rolled under the quilt, "I'm so sleepy, I really don't want to get up...... Laurent, you bastard, oh my God, why can someone snore louder than thunder. β
Laurent, who slept in the lower bunk opposite, also opened his eyes in the bed, a little embarrassed. "I didn't want to do that either, and I went to the hospital twice for nasal polyps, but it didn't work out. β
FranΓ§ois, who sat up on the top bunk, sat up and said, "The snoring makes the bed tremble, and I sleep on it as if I were in a cradle......"
Kostler threw a pillow straight over. "Are you writing poetry? This kind of snoring is still enjoyable for you, and it seems that you two really should be a couple. β
Jonas ignored the bickering of the two of them, and took his toiletries to the bathhouse outside to wash.
Starting today, Hell Mode is back on.
The main reason why the hellish mode has been emphasized is that the psychological shadow of Jonas is too deep. Whoever said that foreign countries are all about quality education, and who said that foreign high school students are very relaxed, they are all fools who have been deceived!
Let's take a look at the schedule of Ross Academy......
Wake up at seven o'clock in the morning, everyone has to take a shower, and it will be over in half an hour. Then put on the school uniform, eat breakfast at half past seven punctually, breakfast is also a buffet, half an hour of meal time, and class at eight o'clock on time.
In the morning, from 8 to 12 o'clock, there are four classes of 50 minutes each, with a 10-minute break in between.
Class ended at 11:50 p.m., still half an hour for eating, followed by a regular meeting.
There is not much break, at 1:15 p.m., classes begin, each class lasts 40 minutes, three consecutive classes, and ends at 3:30, a total of seven main classes a day.
From half past three to four o'clock is the preparation time, and from four o'clock onwards is physical education, art class, and every day half of the students are guaranteed to have physical education classes and half students to have art classes.
Two hours of exercise time, and before six o'clock, end the day's classes.
But for students, it doesn't end there. Everyone was forced to take a shower again, and there was only half an hour left, and all the students gathered at 6:20 to do their homework, which ended at 7:20.
Then all the students go back to the dormitory to change clothes and have dinner, and when it comes to dinner, the boys need to wear a suit and tie, and the girls must also wear formal clothes.
At the end of the half-hour dinner, self-study time begins at eight o'clock, and students can choose to study in their own room or in the study room, depending on each person's different "study group".
Some special events may also take place in the evening. For example, we can organize cultural festivals or dinner outings, conferences, speeches, debates, Model United Nations, or sports competitions between teachers and students.
Moreover, all activities must be supervised by the teacher, each student has different learning tasks, and the tutor checks the self-study homework.
Until eleven o'clock in the evening, when the day's homework is over, the dormitory lights out, and sleep.
It's not a day, it's a cycle, every day except for weekends, during school trips.
Although it is not a college entrance examination, this kind of learning rhythm can definitely collapse people who are not used to it.
Jonas will commit suicide, and I'm afraid there is also a factor in this.
Because he has been in this state of life for nearly six years, under the double pressure of the family being suppressed and the study process has been intense, he tends to collapse.
But for Jonas now, everything is so dreamy.
Pressure, non-existent.
He had already gone to college in his previous life and had a complete memory of Jonas, so studying was not stressful for him at all, but he found the current course very interesting.
For example, there may be only four or five students in a class, and then there is an expert teacher who will teach the class to ensure that each student learns what he is teaching.
Then, there are also big classes, and the language classes are basically big classes, and there can be twenty or thirty students in the class together.
So, there are many kinds of classrooms in the school, some can accommodate fifty people, and some are just a corner separated by six or seven students sitting around a table.
It's a bit like teaching in a university, but it's more rigorous than teaching in a university, because there are less than 300 students in six grades, and 50 teachers can guarantee that every student will succeed.
Of course, there are some students who can't be carved with rotten wood, but if they don't correct their learning attitude in two years, the school will dissuade them no matter how much they pay tuition.
At the end of each lesson, the teacher asks each student if they have understood the knowledge points. If you don't understand, the teacher will give you special guidance.
And this kind of tutoring will also delay the learning of other courses, so almost no one dares to wander, and falling behind in one class will affect the study plan for several days.
At the end of the last history class in the morning, Aaron from Norway and the other teacher walked away and put his arm around Edward's shoulder. "Edward, what's the difference between a Turkic and a Great Cannibal? It seems to me that they are all the same!"
Edward is the youngest prince from the island nation and the queen's favorite youngest son. His other homework was mediocre, but history was the best.
"You can think of them as Sunnis and Shiites today, the Turks have come to the same religion after the greenery, but they have split Shiites to distinguish them from the original Arabs. β
"Alas, I don't know what this knowledge is for, but Shia cuisine is much more famous than Sunni. β
Lunch was about to be eaten, and several people laughed when they heard Aaron say this.
Jonas packed up his textbooks, because he had mastered many knowledge points, and his study pressure was much easier now.
Edward packed up his books and said, "Jonas, this killing game is very interesting, let's play for two hours tonight in the form of a party." β
"Yes, anyway, here in Gstaad, except for skiing, other activities are difficult to organize. However, I'm going to look at the physical test results first. β
He looked at Jonas with some confusion. "Didn't you notice you were sick?"
"It's not that I'm sick, it's because I'm growing too fast, and my strength growth is affecting my coordination, and I've been training more recently. β
"It's really an enviable situation, your motor cells are already good, and now they can't compare to you. β
A few people chatted, but their movements were not slow at all. In every course in school, the meal time is limited, and if you move slowly, you will make mistakes.
After taking the books back to the dormitory, everyone went to the school cafeteria to eat. Today is the first day of school, and after lunch there is a regular meeting that every student must attend.
At the regular meeting, Principal Gray briefed the students on the week's meals, extracurricular activities, and then assigned each task.
There is no nonsense, in less than half an hour, the regular meeting is over, and the students will not get bored.
Finally, Gray mentions the killing game he played yesterday and praises Jonas.
He believes that the game deserves to be promoted and, when appropriate, promoted to other schools as part of the school's diplomatic activities.
Hearing this, Jonas was relieved.
With his statement, Jonas used to dislike the unfavorable image of participating in social activities, which can be improved, and the comments will be much more beautiful.
As for the right time, of course, it means that the students in the school have become proficient in the game, and then they can abuse the students of other schools.
Most of the afternoon classes are small classes, that is, elective courses for no more than ten students, such courses are faster because there are not many people, the classrooms are not large, and the teacher and students sit together, and they can break down the learning points little by little and let each student accept them.
At half past three, the quiet atmosphere in the school suddenly changed and became lively.
More than 200 students were divided into two groups, one to study music, dance, musical instruments, and the other to do physical exercise.
Each group is specially arranged by the teacher to ensure that each student's exercise time meets the basic requirements.
When I arrived at the Gstaad campus, the main sport was skiing, and on the first day of school, today's exercise class was mainly arranged for skiing.
The school has a privately owned ski area with ropeways and four giant gondolas that can accommodate 50 people each.
The ropeway is divided into two sections, and students at the junior high level can only practice at the beginner ski resort, and at the high school level, they will start training at the intermediate and advanced levels.
Of course, this is not absolute, because Swiss and Nordic students are always more proficient in skiing than students elsewhere, and the basis is different.
The teacher knows the level of each student and arranges them in different venues according to the level of learning.
When Jonas was gathering with his skis in his arms, he saw Coach Loew, and he specially stepped forward to say hello and said, "Coach Loew, I'm going to ski only twice, and it will be over at about five o'clock, and then I want you to help me test all aspects of the data." β
"It's still evening, half of the students are skiing today, and we coaches need to be out and take care of the novices. β
"I'm sorry to take your break. β
"No, Jonas, I'm curious about your stats, too. What's more, I can also change shifts, today I am on duty, and tomorrow night I can also rest. β
"Jonas, I need help ......"
On the other side, Theresa, dressed in a red ski suit, wearing a hat and sunglasses, beckons to Jonas.
Loew said with some jealousy: "Handsome men are always pampered, go for it......"
Jonas slung his skis behind him and headed for Theresa. He was in a gap period, and Theresa also broke up with her ex-boyfriend, Churchill, who was also from England, so he wanted to develop with Theresa.
But Theresa's flamboyance is not what he wants him to see.
Kostler ran over with his skis in his hands, bumped Jonas on the shoulder and asked, "When did you hook up with Theresa?" β
"No, I haven't hooked up yet, but I looked at each other last night. β
Kostler paused for a moment and sighed, "This woman is too hypocritical and not suitable for you." β
Jonas laughed, "Kostler, we care about the process, not the result. β
"Well, you jealous fellow, get out of here and be your playboy!"
Jonas strode away from him and walked in front of Theresa. "Your Majesty, your knights await your commands. β
Theresa laughed happily and gestured to her skis......
