Chapter 201: The Honesty Behind the Respect
The college entrance examination is a magical system, and it is also a great and fair system, which gives countless students from poor backgrounds the opportunity to change their fate; at the same time, it is also an extremely utilitarian system, no matter how many lofty veils are wrapped in it, it is still difficult to hide its essence and judge heroes by success or failure.
Since this is a system of success or failure, high school teachers are more realistic and utilitarian than elementary and junior high school teachers; moreover, under the attention of society and the pressure of parents, primary and junior high school teachers may have the belief of preaching and teaching, while high school teachers have only one goal of the college entrance examination promotion rate.
Jin Zhengchun, the head of the third grade of Tonggu Middle School, is such a realistic and utilitarian teacher, who advocates giving up rotten wood, cultivating top-notch people, and taking into account the average.
What do you mean?
Students who don't want to study, let them get out, don't affect the students who want to study, and lower the acceptance rate of the college entrance examination. At the same time, the college entrance examination acceptance rate is only a number on the year-end summary, and ordinary people will not be too concerned, but it is only by taking the top students to take the examination of famous universities and the ranking of various competitions that they can attract attention! As long as they can take the examination of Tsinghua University and Peking University every two or three years, the examination of a famous university every year, and the examination of several key universities every year, even if the admission rate is a little lower, it will be a fool's errand.
Under the leadership of Kim Jung-chun, the senior high school teacher focused on a very small number of top students and students who had hope of passing the exam, and completely abandoned the hopeless students. Under this kind of teaching with obvious tendencies, the acceptance rate of the college entrance examination in Tonggu has been very good in recent years, and it can be admitted to a famous university and several key universities every year.
Every year in August and September, the big red list posted at the entrance of the school always makes the students' parents and ordinary people praise the dedication of the teachers in the county; every year when the principal of the county school goes to the government to ask for a budget, he is always given special care by the leaders of the county and the county finance bureau, and the welfare of the teachers is constantly improved; three four-story teachers' dormitories are built, and the teachers only pay two or three thousand yuan symbolically.
However, this utilitarian teaching mode also makes students become utilitarian, and those who are admitted think that it is the result of their own efforts, and they are not grateful to the teacher; For example, Li Jiaming's brothers, Li Jiade and Li Jiadao, one was admitted to Peking University and the other was admitted to Tongji, but they did not have much respect for the high school teachers, except for the thank-you banquet after the examination, they would not come to visit during the New Year; Li Jiaming was even more impressed, although the main reason for the three failures in the college entrance examination in his previous life was that he was not angry, but the teacher's negligence in discipline was also an important reason, and in the years of high school, the teachers were even more impressed by his cold eyes.
Among the so many high school teachers who have taught him, the only one he has a good impression of is the homeroom teacher of the first year of high school, because although Mr. Lei is a little wordy, he always talks about how he should be like this and should not be like that.
Far away, as soon as the first class bell rang that afternoon, Jin Zhengchun, the head of the third year of high school and the director of academic affairs, came to the classroom of the first (1) class of high school, and in full view of everyone, called Li Jiaming to the office of the third year of high school, brought a high school mathematics test paper and put it in front of him, and looked at him with a mixture of excitement and antiquation, he did not hesitate to shirk it.
Li Jiaming knows very well that he is not a genius, relying on diligence and thinking ability that is stronger than his peers, rather than outstanding talent. Don't talk about others, even Zhang Shaolong's kid has a higher real reading talent than himself, and he has played all the way, and he still has excellent grades. When I tutored for the second time in my previous life, I worked hard to get into a self-financed university, although the foundation was too weak was the main reason, but the secondary reason was not enough talent.
Then again, it's not necessarily a good thing to work on some very difficult topics in your free time, which can exercise your thinking skills. If my father hadn't been in trouble, he would have had a lot of free time and would have taken the initiative to try it. Not anymore, he has to fight for his freedom of learning, instead of following the teacher's baton. If he was trained for the competition according to the teacher's arrangement, and he wasted time to do something that could not be successful, Li Jiaming would not have agreed.
It's just that as a student, it's best not to argue with the teacher, especially about learning, it's not that it's not a reason, but that the teacher has a magic weapon to find parents. He could try to prevent the teacher from visiting his home, but he had to make things clear first, so that people wouldn't catch the ducks on the shelves.
"Mr. Jin, I don't have to do these questions, I know that they are extremely difficult. I'm not the genius you think, at most I'm a little harder than the average person. ”
Because of insufficient training, the genius Li Jiade fell short last time. Jin Zhengchun, who is also the director of academic affairs, has already summed up the lessons learned, so he has his eyes on Li Jiaming, an eye-catching genius, early on, and asked his colleagues in the third year of high school to produce a very difficult math test paper during the summer vacation. It's just that I don't know how far people have learned by themselves, so I didn't rush to ask this kid to do it, but I didn't expect people to refuse without even looking at it.
"Li Jiaming, you have scored full marks in mechanics and trigonometric functions, these questions are not very difficult, you have no problem. ”
If you want to learn freely, you must compromise with the teacher and explain the truth clearly. Although Li Jiaming's biological age is very young, his psychological age is already very old, although he has no good impression of the teacher in front of him, he can understand their selective teaching and counseling, so he is still polite and thoughtful in his words of refusal again, leaving enough room for himself.
"Teacher Jin, that's because I have studied on my own, and the teacher deliberately lowered the difficulty in order to take care of the confidence of the students. Mr. Jin, let me tell you this, a few years ago, my family was very poor, and I had to leave the countryside by studying, so I was more diligent than most people.
I may be smarter than the average student, but more importantly, I have better self-control than the average person, and I have a good brother who can guide me to get ahead of my peers. The competition in high school is different from that in junior high school, and people like my fourth brother can't compete with students from outside, let alone me?"
How can this work? How can you just give up when you finally meet a genius? The success of Li Jiade has caused several of his main teachers to increase their salaries one after another. If this kid could have been trained in advance, he might have been able to achieve better results than his cousin!
"Li Jiaming, if you don't give it a try, how do you know that it won't work? Students should focus on their studies and don't be distracted by other things!"
After saying the reason, Li Jiaming saw that Teacher Jin still insisted, so he said helplessly: "Teacher Jin, I can give it a try, but if I don't have that talent, please don't force me to participate in any training." My goal is to get into college, and the high school exam questions are far less difficult than the competition questions. ”
Genius is always valued, especially teachers who take teaching as their profession, and Jin Zhengchun is also clear about some of Li Jiaming's situation, and when he heard his tone loosen, he hurriedly retreated to the next best.
"Of course, our training is also on the premise that it does not affect your learning. Li Jiaming, learning is a conscious thing, if you are unwilling, no one can force you. ”
As long as the two sides have this tacit understanding rather than forced training, this thing can be tried, and Li Jiaming, who got Mr. Jin's disguised promise, picked up a pen and paper from the teacher's desk and began to do these senior high school test papers from the third year of high school. In the office, other teachers also kept looking, and this genius student who dared to negotiate terms with Lao Jin also compared him with another genius, Li Jiade.
I heard the principal say that he found a genius student who was not as smart as Li Jiade, but I didn't expect this kid to be so quiet and steady, not at all like a seventeen-year-old half-grown child, but like a mature adult.
Chongxiang produces talents, Li Jiade has a cold temperament, has a very high IQ but doesn't know what euphemism is, it seems to be gentle and elegant, but it is difficult to hide the arrogance in his bones. Unexpectedly, this kid is enthusiastic and generous, and he is frank and honest in reasoning and talking with Lao Jin about conditions, which makes it difficult for people to feel that he doesn't know how to lift, and he is worthy of being a genius who can toss a company in his teens.
