Chapter 108 School Fees Arbitrarily
At the end of the year, the school paid each teacher an "annual fee" as usual.
Due to the change of principal, the new principal, in order to show that he was different from the old principal, gave the teachers the highest "New Year's fee": 300 yuan per person, plus a bucket of edible blended oil and 5 catties of fruit.
Naturally, the teachers were very happy, received money, and went home one after another with oil and fruits.
"The year-end benefits of this school are not bad, and the leaders are interesting enough." Niu Tiangou watched the teachers elated one by one, and sighed to Cao Zhengdong beside him as he walked.
Indeed, Niu Tiangou has been teaching for more than ten years, from Niugang Village Primary School to Tuhuang Township Middle School in Beihe Town, then to Beihe Town Middle School, then to Tuhuang Township Middle School and Primary School, and later to Nanshan Town Belly Valley, never seen any school at the end of the year to send so much money, generally 50 yuan, at most in the second year of Belly Valley, because the school early canteen is good, at the end of the year 100 yuan.
This Nova Town is Nova Town.
"Cut, it's not the wool that comes out of the sheep." After hearing this, Cao Zhengdong didn't think so, put down the oil and fruit in his hand, and pouted.
"What do you mean?"
"The money, oil and fruits that our teachers give out are all collected from the students." Cao Zhengdong bent down again to pick up the oil and fruit, and said as he walked, "Do you know how much our school earns from the money collected from the students every year? ”
"I don't know." Niu Tiangou shook his head.
"At least four or five hundred thousand yuan!?"
"So much? No way? ”
Cao Zhengdong "cut" again, and said: "Our school's additional sources of income are mainly in two aspects, on the one hand, from the school's breakfast canteen and commissary, and on the other hand, from indiscriminate fees. ”
Seeing that Niu Tiangou looked puzzled, Cao Zhengdong carefully "settled the accounts" and said: "Let's talk about the school's breakfast canteen and commissary first." The early canteen has long been contracted to private individuals, and the annual contract fee of more than 80,000 yuan must be paid to the school. The commissary is also contracted to private individuals, and they have to pay 80,000 yuan to the school every year, and students are not allowed to go out of the campus to buy things. These two items add up to more than 160,000 yuan, which is the school's pure income from the students.
"Let's talk about indiscriminate charges. Compared with tuition and fees, there are more 'service' fees, which are mainly collected by the class teachers from the students.
"In addition to the book fee, the 'other' fees that students have to pay each semester are: storage fee (10 yuan), accommodation fee (160 yuan), transfer examination fee (20 yuan), student registration fee (5 yuan), insurance fee (30 yuan), drinking water fee (5 yuan), breakfast fee (240 yuan), homework fee (15 yuan), mid-term and final examination fee (20 yuan), computer fee and information collection fee (15 yuan), paper fee printing fee (35 yuan), class fee (1~5 yuan), movie fee (5 yuan), Winter and summer vacation homework fee (55 yuan), milk fee (185 yuan), various competition fees (20 yuan), etc.
"In addition to these fees, first-year freshmen also have to pay a uniform fee (65 yuan). Students in the third grade graduating class also need to pay morning and evening self-study fees, make-up fees for the eighth period, and make-up fees for Saturdays, Sundays, winter and summer vacations (a total of 180 yuan); English listening tape fee, monthly examination paper fee, review material fee for each subject and training question fee for sample questions in the high school entrance examination (120 yuan in total); Physical examination fee, high school entrance examination tool (calculator) fee (70 yuan in total); Graduation certificate fee (5 yuan); High school entrance examination registration fee (100 yuan);
In addition, the teachers of each subject also charge students 1~2 teaching and auxiliary materials, such as "Workbook", "Synchronous Training", "One Lesson and One Practice", "Class Time Test Forty Points", "Pulling", "Reading and Using", "Famous Teachers Accompany Reading", "Famous Teachers Accompany You", "Famous Teachers Navigation", "Gold List Learning Case", "Gold Coach", "Optimization Design", "Middle School 11", "Very One Plus One", "Learning Newspaper", "Curriculum Guide", "Friends of Junior High School Students" and so on.
"After the school collects these fees, it is used for various payment transactions (such as paying the salary of the dormitory administrator, paying the teacher's make-up fee, purchasing homework books, paper, review materials, etc.), and there is a certain balance after the payment transaction, and some of the transaction units simply return to the school in the form of rebates (such as ordering school uniforms, test papers, teaching materials, buying insurance, purified water, milk, etc.) when the school pays. This is the school's 'earnings'.
"Let's do the math. Even if the school only earns more than 100 yuan from each student every year, the nearly 3,000 students in the school are 300,000 yuan, plus more than 160,000 yuan from the breakfast canteen and commissary, the school has to earn at least 460,000 yuan from the students every year. And that's just a conservative estimate. ”
"Why do schools charge such indiscriminately?" Hearing this, Niu Tiangou couldn't help asking.
"It has something to do with the local government." Cao Zhengdong paused for a moment and continued, "Although the state has given us a lot of funds for compulsory education in local areas, it has not been fully allocated to the Education Bureau and our school after arriving in the city and county, and most of it has been misappropriated, only ensuring the basic salary of our teachers. Therefore, some of the school's fees have to be figured out by the school itself, so the school is forced to charge indiscriminately. Of course, even if some schools allocate the full amount of compulsory education funds, they will charge indiscriminately for the purpose of making money. ”
"I didn't use all the money I earned for the teachers." Niu Tiangou silently calculated that there are more than 150 teachers in the school, and even if each person is given an annual fee of 400 yuan, it will only cost more than 6 yuan, which is less than one-seventh of the money earned by the school.
"You think beautifully! Will the school use all this money for the welfare of the teachers? The welfare of the teachers is nothing more than a drizzle. Cao Zhengdong gave Niu Tiangou a disdainful look.
"What else is there?"
"From what I've observed, there are four other areas in which the school spends this money." Cao Zhengdong thought for a moment and said, "First, the school's office expenses; second, monthly subsidies for teachers; third, the school's food and drink; Fourth, the leaders travel at public expense. ”
Cao Zhengdong continued: "In addition to office expenses, most or all of the other three aspects of expenditure are used by school leaders.
"Let's start with the monthly allowance. Each month's allowance is received by the class teachers and school leaders (members of the school committee) more than the teachers. Do you know how much the school leaders have paid out this New Year's fee? 600 yuan per person! 2 times more than the teacher!
"Let's talk about eating, drinking, and entertaining. Our school leaders spend as much as 140,000 yuan a year on food, drink and hospitality. For superiors, the inspection and assessment should receive food and drink, convey the spirit to serve and drink, guide the work to eat and drink, ask for instructions and report to accompany the waiters to eat and drink, come and leave to 'welcome and send' eat and drink, strive for funds to 'coordinate' eat and drink, and compete for 'black yarn' to 'contact' to eat and drink...... For the same level, exchange and study should be 'exchanged' to eat and drink, completion celebration should be 'congratulated' to eat and drink, and promotion and farewell should be 'emotional' to eat and drink......
"In short, superiors eat subordinates, and peers eat each other; If you drink it, I will drink it, and if you don't drink it, you won't drink it for nothing; As long as you don't record the video, you don't admit the 'account' when you eat and drink, and even if you check it to the end, it will be considered a violation of discipline at most!
"Finally, I said that I would travel at public expense. Every year, the school leaders have to take turns to go out in batches to 'travel', they often ostensibly under the banner of study, inspection, training and other 'official business', in fact, it is to travel and relax, and even wherever they can reach the upper place, even if they make a few more turns, stop a few more stops, and spend a few more days, they must also 'walk in style'. ”
After hearing this, Niu Tiangou completely "stopped cooking". He no longer had the excitement of being transferred to Xinxing Township Middle School, as if he had returned to Tuhuang Township Middle School in Beihe Township.
He wondered: Why do schools have these phenomena? Why is there no effective system to curb these phenomena? Is it really what people say, that the consumption of public funds is fiercer than that of tigers, and that the prevention and control work is more slippery than loaches?
Does it really form a climate?
Niu Tiangou felt lost and confused......
……
After separating from Cao Zhengdong at the entrance of the vegetable market, Niu Tiangou returned home silently with his head down and oil and fruits.
Entering the door and putting down the things in his hand, Niu Tiangou wanted to sit down and smoke a cigarette.
"Teacher Niu!" Suddenly, he heard a call, and when he looked up, he saw Zhao Xiaoyan squinting at the door with bright eyes like cold stars, standing at the door with a smile and a warm breath like spring, it was simply Cao Yanfang back then.
There was also a student standing next to her, carrying a bag of fruit.
"Uh, how did you find me here?" Niu Tiangou seemed a little surprised.
"Ask others" Zhao Xiaoyan smiled, pointed to the students around her and said, "This is the Zhang Xiaoyu I told you." His mother said thank you for changing the child's seat, and asked me to bring him to thank you. ”
"Come in and sit." Niu Tiangou hurriedly said, "What are you doing here?" Do you want to thank you for this little thing? Isn't that too raw for you? ”
"This is a little bit of Zhang Xiaoyu's mother's heart." Zhao Xiaoyan walked in, took the fruit from Zhang Xiaoyu's hand, put it on the table, and looked at the house, "This is the house you bought?" ”
"Hmm." Niu Tiangou responded.
"This house is a little small, but it's no problem to live in it." Zhao Xiaoyan looked around, "Sister-in-law doing business in the vegetable market?" ”
"Oh, no. She took her children to her sister's house in Xianhai City a few years ago to help. ”
"What about you...... Or live here alone? …… It's a waste of a house in this vegetable market not to do a small business. Zhao Xiaoyan looked around the house again and saw the telephone by the kitchen, "You installed the phone?" ”
"Where do I have the money to install a phone?" Niu Tiangou smiled, "This is left by the original owner, and I have to pay an extra 500 yuan." ”
"Is it open?" She asked, turning her head.
"Nope." Niu Tiangou didn't care about the authenticity, "I haven't paid the fee, and I've stopped down early." ”
"If it's installed, why shut down? It's much more convenient to have a phone. Besides, you often have to contact your sister-in-law. ”
"Hey," Niu Tiangou said with a smile, "Then listen to your advice, and I'll go to the telecom in a few days to pay for the opening." ”
"That'...... What is the number of this phone? ”
"Oh, the owner wrote me a note and pressed it under the phone." Niu Tiangou turned around and took out a note from under the telephone and handed it to Zhao Xiaoyan.
"Then bring me a pen and I'll take note of it."
“……”
……
After chatting like this for a while, Zhao Xiaoyan got up to leave, Niu Tiangou hurriedly lifted the fruit pocket on the table and stuffed it into Zhao Xiaoyan's hand: "I have received your and Zhang Xiaoyu's wishes, but you have to take the things." ”
"Listen to me, when Zhang Xiaoyu is in the third grade and transfers to another class, I still need you to help me a little. If you don't, I'll complain that I won't do anything. ”
"No, no, help is help, and besides, that little thing is not worth mentioning at all, aren't you scolding me by doing this!" Niu Tiangou resolutely excused himself.
"What? You still don't give me face, do you? Zhao Xiaoyan turned around, said with a coquettish smile, put the fruit pocket on the table again, pulled Zhang Xiaoyu up and went out. After walking a few steps, he turned around, smiled and waved his hand at Niu Tiangou slightly......
Alas, how can this world be like this? If you ask someone to do something big, you have to give some gifts, even your student Zhao Xiaoyan is no exception.
Is this also a trend?
