Chapter 0319: The Fish and the Bear's Paw
After taking all the materials, Tao Li walked directly towards Chen Ke's office. At this time, Chen Ke should not have returned home from work.
Coming to the door of Chen Ke's office, Tao Li cleared his throat and knocked softly on the door.
"Please come in. Chen Ke's familiar voice came from inside the room.
Tao Li pushed the door and entered, and found that Chen Ke had already packed his things, and it seemed that he was ready to go home.
"Director Chen, are you going home?" Tao Li asked curiously.
"It's Mr. Tao, is there anything wrong? You say first, I'm not in a hurry. As soon as Chen Ke saw that it was Tao Li who came to him, he put down the things in his hand, sat down and said.
"Actually, it's nothing. The results of our class's arts and sciences have been counted and sent to your mailbox. Tao Li wanted to speak again and again, and directly told Chen Ke that retaining the current 18 establishment and not re-dividing classes like the rest of the students was actually making a special move.
Although no matter whether it is as an ordinary teacher or as a special teacher, this request is not too much, after all, even if you don't directly find Chen Ke, Cheng Dieyi's side, I believe that he will support Tao Li, but Tao Li has always felt that he can't go, he never wants to think of himself as a special one, but in fact, he has always been the most special one!
"You're talking about a separate department. I don't have my computer on now, is there anything wrong?" Chen Ke thought something was going on.
As for the students in our class, this time they chose to apply for science, and this is the form they fill out, and it is their own decision. With that, Tao Li directly put the form in front of Chen Ke and motioned him to take a look.
Chen Ke picked up the form and looked at it roughly, it was really all science subjects for the newspaper, but what does this matter have to do with Tao Li? Since the students have made such a choice, then why did he come to find him again? Thinking of this, Chen Ke couldn't help but look at Tao Li and motioned for him to continue.
"A large part of the reason why they choose all science and no one chooses liberal arts is because of me, because they still want to stay in my class, that is to say, I came to Director Chen this time to ask, can the current students in class 18 continue to stay and no longer participate in the reclassification of the second year of high school? Or will I continue to bring them to graduation?"
Tao Li simply said everything he wanted to say in one go.
Chen Ke was stunned, he didn't expect Tao Li to find him for this kind of thing, and frankly speaking, Chen Ke had never encountered anything like this before, which made him a little embarrassed.
"What I want to ask is, is it the opinion of the students to retain the current 18 class structure, or is it the same thing in your heart, Mr. Tao?" Chen Ke did not rush to reply to Tao Li's question, but stared at Tao Li and asked.
"It's what the students think, and it's my wish at the same time. Tao Li replied very seriously. Although he had always thought about keeping the students of Class 18 until the graduation of the third year of high school, he didn't say it because he felt unrealistic at the time. After all, we have been together for a year, and we know each other well, and it is more convenient to bring them up.
"Did Teacher Tao consider other students?" Chen Ke continued.
"What other students, what about other students?" Tao Li was stunned, not understanding what Chen Ke meant by this.
"I mean, Mr. Tao, you want to keep the students of the current class of 18 and bring them until the third year of high school graduation, have you ever thought that this practice is very unfair to other students who choose to apply for science! You also know that every student in Jinling Middle School dreams of studying in your class, and you have also seen the turmoil of class change at the beginning of the school year. But at that time, because the class placement had ended, and Mr. Tao had been emphasizing fairness, no matter what those parents thought in their hearts, they had no choice but to give up!"
"But when you are in the second year of high school, all the people, or rather, all the students who choose to apply for science, are back to the same starting point, and they all have the same probability of being assigned to your class, Mr. Tao! But what you are telling me now is undoubtedly dashing the hopes of all the other students, because once you continue to teach the current class of 18, the rest of the students will never be assigned to your class again. Have you considered this situation?"
Chen Ke said a lot of words, but every sentence and word was like a hammer, hitting Tao Li's heart fiercely, frankly speaking, Tao Li really didn't think about it so much.
He really didn't think about it, and by doing so, he would undoubtedly cut off the hope of all the other science students who chose to apply!
This is no different from "black box operation".
"I'm sorry, Director Chen, I really haven't thought about it so much. Tao Li's face was full of apologies. He has always emphasized and pursued educational fairness, but now he is doing something special, which is really contrary to his own educational philosophy.
"I told Mr. Tao so much, I don't mean anything else, in fact, Mr. Tao doesn't have to think about it so much, if you really want to keep the existing 18 class establishment, I can promise you, there is no problem with this. Chen Ke said with a smile.
"What if the current Class 18 is expanded? That is, if the existing Class 18 remains the same, the remaining students can still be assigned to my class. Tao Li suddenly thought of this, so he hurriedly said.
"Do you want your class to have more than 70 people? With so many people, it's not easy for you to manage alone. Chen Ke shook his head, feeling that this was not a good solution. Because in the eyes of those parents, if there can be 70 people in the class, why not 10 more?
If every parent thinks like this, then the entire grade of students will be managed by Tao Li alone.
If Tao Li wants to solve the current dilemma by expanding the size of the class, it will only create a vicious circle. So Chen Ke doesn't advocate it.
"Then it seems that there is no other way, or forget it, and I'll go back and explain the reason to our students. Tao Li sighed, he wanted to keep the current 18 class students, and wanted to ensure the fairness of education, but this is actually a pair of contradictions, you can't have both, in this case, Tao Li can only choose righteousness!
It's just that the thought of going back and seeing the disappointed eyes of the students of Class 18 made Tao Li feel unbearable.
But for now, there really is no solution to the best of both worlds.
"Otherwise, Mr. Tao, you can choose to take one more class, you can teach two classes of mathematics at the same time, so that it will not be unfair to other students." Chen Ke suddenly patted his thigh and said.
