Two days later, the 2018 entrance examination ended.

When the Year 9 students returned to school, they packed up their things and went back to their homes. The results of the entrance examination will be announced on July 12, and at that time, they will come to Taoyuan School to get their junior high school diplomas and apply for high school.

At this time, the primary and junior high schools in Taoyuan started the unified examination of this semester after the systematic final examination. Students in the high school are in the last week of revision - compared to elementary and junior high school, the high school exam is more than a week late.

"There are 800 students this time, and I don't know how many will end up staying in school and going on to high school."

After the exam, Liu Meng came over to look at the situation of the junior high school paper revision, and Wu Yan said in the chat.

"There should be no less than 600 students, at least according to what I know, most of the students want to go to high school in Taoyuan. In the past two years, every time the final examination results come out, the high school has overwhelmed the second high school, and we have fully publicized it, which I believe has also had a certain impact on the parents of those students. Gu Fei said.

At this time, Gu Fei had already achieved the position of the director of junior high school, responsible for helping Wu Yan manage many tasks in the junior high school. He used to be the head teacher of Yanjing 82 Middle School, and his experience in this area is not comparable to that of other teachers in the school. Although some situations in Taoyuan are very different from those in Yanjing, some management methods are generally common.

"Of course, the most important thing is that in the past two years, there have been cases of students who went to the second high school and transferred to our high school because they were not suitable for it. This matter has also spread among the parents of this class of students, and if there are parents who are superstitious about the second high school, they will definitely hesitate when choosing. Finally, Gu Fei added.

After chatting for a few words, seeing that Liu Meng didn't speak, Wu Yan couldn't help asking, "Principal, why didn't I hear you mention the enrollment expansion plan this year?" Isn't the school ready to continue to expand its enrollment? ”

In the past few years, at the end of the next semester, that is, before the summer vacation. Liu Meng will release the news of the school's big expansion in advance, so that teachers can be mentally prepared to work overtime in the summer, but this year there is none.

Liu Meng smiled and asked, "What, are you addicted to expanding your recruitment?" ”

Wu Yan couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and said, "It's really a bit addictive." ”

Liu Meng said: "This year, the primary school will not expand the enrollment, as for the junior high school, there are 30 classes in each grade at this stage, which is already a lot." Xilin No. 1 Middle School, Xilin No. 2 Middle School, and Yongji Middle School, because of our expansion, the number of students has shrunk greatly. We always have to give people a chance to catch their breath. ”

At this time, Gu Fei said: "Xilin Town, Fengcheng, there are not many students. With the strength of our school, if the enrollment standard is lowered, it will take a year or two to crush these three schools in Xilin Town. Why, is the principal reluctant to do this? ”

"There is no willingness, the school continues to grow, and this is the path that must be taken." Liu Meng said, "If I'm not mistaken. The number of people who come to our middle school pre-enrollment this year may not increase much compared to last year. After all, as far as junior high school is concerned, there are still great restrictions on geographical conditions. ”

Although many junior high school students are boarding at the school, there are also requirements for the distance between the school and home. Under normal circumstances, they choose to go to school in their own township. Only the family conditions are good. will choose to send their children to a private junior high school in the county.

Although the fees of Taoyuan School are still lower than those of private junior high schools in the county, they are definitely more expensive than public junior high schools in the nine-year compulsory education system such as Xilin No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School.

Because of these reasons, Liu Meng guessed. In the next two years, the number of pre-enrollment applicants for Taoyuan Junior High School will grow to a bottleneck.

Want to break this bottleneck. There are several ways to do this.

One is that Taoyuan School should reduce tuition and fees, preferably at the same level as public middle schools in townships. But if you think about it from the perspective of a private school, this is unlikely.

Another way is to wait for the teaching achievements of Taoyuan High School to continue to improve - now for people in Fengcheng, children attending Taoyuan Middle School are almost equivalent to being 100% admitted to the second high school in the future. But after all, the second high school is only a high school, and some of the students who go to the second high school only end up taking a junior college exam, or even drop out halfway.

If Taoyuan High School can replace the second high school and go one step further, so that her students have more brilliant results and broader choices in the college entrance examination, then many families will fight to send their children to Taoyuan to school.

The last way is to wait, wait for a few township middle schools to survive, and they will go out of business. Without a choice, as long as children want to go to junior high school, they will naturally choose Taoyuan School. But this is also unlikely, because as far as the system is concerned, a township should at least retain a public junior high school.

Just a few days after this discussion, Liu Meng received a text message from Zhao Citizen of the county education bureau.

"Principal Liu, I would like to tell you one news in advance, the Education Bureau inspected the situation of the No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School in Xilin Town and decided to merge the two schools. If you still have a plan to expand your junior high school this year, you can make appropriate adjustments. ”

At the end of last year, Tao Xingzhi, the former director of the Education Bureau, had been promoted to deputy director of the Municipal Education Bureau because of Taoyuan Normal University. The current director of the county education bureau is Zhao Citizen, so his news must be accurate.

Another meaning of "adjustment" in the text message obviously refers to Taoyuan's appropriate expansion of enrollment.

After receiving this text message, Liu Meng called Zhao Citizen to learn about the specific situation of this matter.

It turned out that in the previous inspection of the county education bureau, it was found that there were only more than 300 students left in Xilin No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School, and the number of teachers was not enough. After a meeting and discussion, the county education bureau decided to merge the two schools and reorganize them into Xilin Public Junior High School.

After confirming this matter, Liu Meng was quite emotional.

This feels like when the policy of "rural primary schools move closer to towns", village primary schools kept being empty and closed down. It's just that the role has changed now, and Taoyuan School replaces other schools.

Liu Meng didn't feel too much, because he knew that this was an inevitable situation for the development of Taoyuan School. Two years ago, the villages around Taoyuan School closed their doors one after another. Now there is one less middle school in Xilin Town, which is nothing. Perhaps in the future, there will be high schools that will close their doors because of Taoyuan School.

In the sense of educational development and society, this is actually a kind of progress.

Taoyuan School has completed all the system independent examination and final unified examination papers, which is already July 5th and 6th, and on the day when the system independent examination papers are corrected, the system also gives the points obtained from the final examination.

"Congratulations, Mr. Principal, the total number of students in Taoyuan School for this final exam has been exchanged for 1.9 million points."

Liu Meng almost didn't use any points this month, so the information dissipated, and the points in the system points column changed from 13.95 million to 15.85 million.

This includes the scores of the high school - although the final exam for the high school is on July 10, the course is completed two or three weeks early. In order to facilitate the correction of papers (points exchange and calculation), Liu Meng changed the system independent examination of the high school to a day adjacent to the primary school and junior high school.

A few days later, on July 10th, the final exam for the high school began. When the final examination of the high school is completed, it is July 12th, the day when the results of the entrance examination are announced.

In a computer room in the comprehensive building, 20 ninth-grade homeroom teachers, Wu Yan and others sat in front of the computer, waiting for the city's website related to the entrance examination to announce the test results. Even Liu Meng was there, but instead of sitting in front of the computer like everyone else, he sat leisurely on the podium.

There are still a few minutes before the results are announced at nine o'clock, and the class teachers are whispering to each other, as for the topic, it is naturally the results of this entrance examination.

"Lao Cai, do you estimate that how many of your class will be able to enter the top 100 in the city this year?"

"There are not many top students in our class, it is estimated that there are only about five."

"Five isn't much? The top 100 in the city, there are 20 classes in our school alone, and there are 5 in each class, and there are 100 people! If you can really get into five, it's definitely a good result! ”

"Hehe, if it were in the first two years, it would be possible for our class to be in the top 100 in the city. Don't talk about me, I think there are a few very good students in your class. ”

"It is estimated that our class can enter two or three of the city's 100 students, and the top 1,000 students in the city, and the minimum is more than half. As for the thousands, I won't talk about it, it doesn't make much sense. ”

"Speaking of which, this class and the seventh class are the most profitable, one has Gan Shuangshuang, and the other has Zhang Ziqiang, maybe they will get the first place in the city."

"Don't be dissatisfied, in order to balance the first class, the foundation of the other students in Class 1 and Class 7 is worse than that of other classes. Being the head teacher of these two classes is not so easy. ”

“”

Liu Meng's ears are very powerful, and he faintly heard the discussions of these class teachers on the podium, and couldn't help laughing.

He remembered that when Taoyuan School took the high school entrance examination for the first time the year before last, he and Xu Lei, Liu Qing, and Huang Wenkang talked about it while waiting for the results to be announced in the computer room, but they all compared with other schools, but now these class teachers are all compared with the classes of the same school. Liu Meng understands that it is not that these class teachers do not have the collective of Taoyuan School in their hearts, but that other schools are no longer Taoyuan's opponents and cannot be compared.

Just when Liu Meng was thinking about this, the time reached nine o'clock, and the head teacher below quickly refreshed the results that had just been announced.

Among them, some people directly search for the results of those students in their class, some search for the results of all candidates in Taoyuan School, and some directly look at the homepage.

At this time, Liu Meng found that it was strangely quiet below.

What's the situation?

With questions, when Liu Meng was about to go down to take a look, Wu Yan, who was sitting in the first row in front of him, suddenly raised his head, looked at him with surprise on his face, and said excitedly: "Principal, our school has won the first place in the city!" And it's tied for two firsts! ”
