After moving to live in the vegetable market, Niu Tiangou was busy with school work, and in his free time in the evening, he liked to visit the brightly lit night market, he wanted to get acquainted with this new town as soon as possible, although this is his hometown, but he has been working in other towns for a long time, rarely comes here, and the changes here are changing with each passing day, so he still feels a little strange.

That night, Niu Tiangou was shopping to a tobacco and alcohol store to buy a pack of cigarettes, and happened to meet Zhao Xiaoyan who was shopping with her child.

Zhao Xiaoyan no longer works in the family planning office of the town government, but works as a cashier in a large shopping supermarket on the street. He had met her twice the other day when he was shopping at the supermarket, and she already knew that Niu Tiangou had been transferred back to Xinxing Town Middle School and had bought a house in the vegetable market.

"You...... Buying cigarettes? Seeing Niu Tiangou holding a cigarette in his hand, Zhao Xiaoyan smiled, her eyes shining like a cold star in the night sky, "Smoking is not good for your health, you should smoke as little as possible." ”

"Hey, just smoke two and play if it's okay." Niu Tiangou also smiled and saw the child beside her, "This is your son, right?" It looks like you, it's pretty cute. ”

"Call Uncle Niu." Zhao Xiaoyan hurriedly bent down and said to the child.

"Uncle Niu!" The little guy doesn't recognize life either, and his crunchy cry reveals immaturity.

"Hehe, that's good." Niu Tiangou touched the little guy's head, and corrected with a busy smile, "Next time, you can call me Uncle Niu, because I am older than your parents." ”

"Are you that old?" Zhao Xiaoyan looked at Niu Tiangou for a while, and laughed softly, "I think you are younger than the child's father." ”

"Uh, why didn't his dad go shopping with you?" Niu Tiangou hurriedly changed the subject.

"He's working overtime at the factory today." Zhao Xiaoyan replied lightly. After a pause, she seemed to remember something and asked, "You're teaching second grade, right?" ”

"Hmm."

"I have a relative's child in the first grade at your school, in class 3." Zhao Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment and said, "This child's English score is relatively poor, he wants to be transferred to Class 5, I heard that the English teacher in Class 5 is good." ”

"You want to ......," Niu Tiangou guessed.

"I want to ...... Could you please do me a favor and see if you can talk to the homeroom teacher of Class 5? Speaking of this, Zhao Xiaoyan looked a little embarrassed.

"Oh, this thing...... I'll help you ask. What's his name? ”

"Zhang Xiaoyu." Zhao Xiaoyan's face was full of apologies, "Look, as soon as we meet, it will cause you trouble." If it really doesn't work, change the seat for the child, the head teacher of their class always arranges him in the back rows, the child's grades are okay, but his eyes are a little short-sighted, and he always says that the words on the blackboard can't be read clearly. ”

"Okay, I'll help you ask about this as soon as possible."

"I'm sorry to bother you." Zhao Xiaoyan smiled apologetically again.

"Ahem, do we need to be so polite?" Niu Tiangou also smiled. Of course he had to help her ask, even ordinary acquaintances would help him, let alone Zhao Xiaoyan.

……

The next day, Niu Tiangou did not go to the head teacher of Class 5, but asked Teacher Cao Zhengdong to learn about the students' transfer of classes.

"Which student would you like to transfer? Is your parent's relationship with you iron-clad? Cao Zhengdong asked.

"Oh, for a friend's child, it's a good relationship."

"Oh...... I'm afraid it's a bit of a hassle to change shifts. ”

"Why?"

Cao Zhengdong thought for a while and said, "You know, our school has 36 classes, and the number of students in each class is more than 70, and the number of classes reaches more than 80. Every student changes classes at will, isn't that a mess? ”

After a pause, Cao Zhengdong then explained: "Due to the large number of classes, the teachers of each class are inevitably a little different. As a result, there are always a small number of parents who have 'activity energy' after secretly inquiring, and do everything possible to arrange their children to a class with a slightly stronger teacher, lest they be assigned to a worse class, and even whether the class teacher of which class is good, whether there is a good main subject (especially mathematics and English) teacher, which subject their children have poor grades, which class the teacher's children are in, etc., will become the criteria for parents to choose teachers and classes.

Therefore, before the start of the school year in the fall, these parents would knock on the doors of the principal, director, and class teacher at night with gifts such as cigarettes, alcohol, tea, milk, or fruits, and ask them to take care of them during the class assignment. These requests are generally met when parents give gifts, as students with equal grades can be secretly transferred between classes when they are placed into classes.

"But the class has already been divided, and after the students enter the class, it will cause conflicts if they ask for a change of class. Because the students in each class are evenly distributed according to the students' grades, and the students with higher scores and better grades who ask for a transfer are often transferred from the class with poor teachers to the class with good teachers. In this way, the class with poor teachers is reluctant to let go, and the class with good teachers wants to accept but no students are willing to exchange with it.

As a result, some arrogant parents simply do not allow their children to enter the assigned class, and forcibly stuff their children into the class they want to transfer. In this way, the class with good teachers is of course willing, but the class with poor teachers is unwilling, which creates a contradiction between the class with poor teachers and the class with good teachers.

"Because teachers understand that in today's world where students' test scores are used to determine teachers' teaching scores, reducing a few students with good grades and increasing a few students with good grades, the excellent rate and equal score of the mid-term and final exams in the class will be very different, which will seriously affect the total test scores in the class, resulting in an embarrassing situation in which the strong class is stronger and the weaker the class is weaker.

Therefore, the teachers of each class want to secretly pull more students with good grades in their classes.

"You said that the teachers of Class 5 of the first grade are slightly stronger, and the teachers of Class 3 are slightly worse. Of course, class 5 is willing to accept a student with good grades, but I'm afraid that the head teacher of class 3 will not let go. ”

"Oh, that's right." Niu Tiangou understands that it is impossible to change classes, "Then it should be okay to change seats for students, right?" ”

"That's okay, but you have to talk to the head teacher of class 3, communicate it, and let the head teacher think about it."

"Do you have to think about changing seats for students?" Niu Tiangou disagreed, he didn't seem to have encountered this kind of problem when he was a head teacher before, and it was generally arranged in order of height, and those with poor grades sat in the back or on both sides, and rarely transferred.

Cao Zhengdong explained: "Because there are too many students in the class, many parents worry too much, for fear that their children sitting in the back or on both sides will affect their children's listening or eyesight, or worry that their children will develop the habit of talking when they sit in the back or on both sides will affect their grades, so they always ask the class teacher to let their children change to a seat a little in the front or in the middle."

"If you want a student to sit in the front, you have to let another student sit in the back, and if you want a student to sit in the middle, you have to let another student sit next to you.

"Sometimes, in order to let the children sit in a good seat and let the teachers take care of them, some parents with good conditions at home do not hesitate to invite the class teacher and teachers to drink. Alas, pity the hearts of parents all over the world. ”

“……”

……

At the end of school in the afternoon, Niu Tiangou found the head teacher of Class 3 of the first grade and said about changing Zhang Xiaoyu's seat, but the head teacher hesitated for a while, and finally agreed.

Two days later, Zhang Xiaoyu was moved to the front seat.

finally gave Zhao Xiaoyan a small favor, and Niu Tiangou breathed a sigh of relief.
