When Kenta Kotori returned to the office after his first class, he saw Tanaka-sensei frowning.

"What's wrong, Tanaka-sensei?" Little Bird You Jian asked suspiciously, "Didn't you just go to Class B for a small test?" The result? ”

"Result...... Mr. Tanaka looked up at the little bird, his eyes were confused, as if he had just seen some indescribable horror, so his reason fell for a while.

This made Kenta Tori feel very strange, so he asked, "That Kiryu-kun, how is he doing?" ”

"He ......" Mr. Tanaka pushed his reading glasses, after all, he was almost retirement age, and he was the oldest teacher in the school, "He used calculus to solve my problems." ”

And the high school mathematics that I learned all my life, I originally dismantled a lot of calculus knowledge points and threw them into various problem-solving ideas, but I didn't systematically summarize them.

What's more, He Ma finished college and studied advanced mathematics for two years.

Therefore, when I saw a topic that could use advanced math knowledge, I used it habitually.

Mathematics is like riding a bicycle, and once you really understand it, it's hard to forget it completely, and even if you forget it temporarily, you will quickly remember it when you think about it.

Although Kenta Kotori is an English teacher, we usually work in the same office, and Mr. Tanaka is still at the table next to him, so I also know some math teaching content, and I was shocked when I heard this.

Although in 1980 Japan had not yet begun to implement liberal education, there were still many contents that would not be covered in the normal teaching of schools.

This is determined by Japan's system of going on to higher education.

Since high school, Japan has adopted the method of recruiting students with their own questions, and this system is directly applied to university admissions.

Depending on the school and subject you want to apply for, the content of the exam you have to prepare for is completely different.

The content of the entrance examination at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University is very different.

At prestigious private schools such as Keio University, students who are admitted to the Faculty of Policy Studies are even required to write a policy essay on the spot.

Therefore, even in 1980, when there was no liberal education, Japanese high school education generally taught only knowledge that would allow students to graduate from high school.

The biggest difference from the later liberal generation is that after the implementation of liberal education, the passing mark of the 100-point system in most schools was put at 30 points.

Of course, there is another difference that the high school teachers in 1980 will be responsible for opening a small stove after determining what university the students want to go to, while various "promotion schools" with the main goal of going on to higher education will organize senior high school students to participate in national mock exams to comprehensively evaluate students' academic ability and provide targeted guidance - in the relaxed generation, these are things that cram schools will only do, and ordinary schools will not do at all.

In the liberal generation, if you want to get this kind of education, pay for a cram school.

Fortunately, it's not in the loose generation now, otherwise Hema wouldn't have the money to go to cram school, and a school like the University of Tokyo wouldn't even think about it.

All in all, the content of calculus used in Kazuma's quiz this time has not been taught at all by Mr. Tanaka in his usual classes.

"Where did he learn all this?" Mr. Tanaka asked Kenta Kotori with a blank face.

Xiao Niaoyou spread his hands: "Cram school, only cram school can teach him this, he can't be self-taught, right?" ”

Actually, from memories of a past life - of course no one would think in this direction.

"He's really going to go to the University of Tokyo." Mr. Tanaka scratched his head, he had already begun to lose his age at this age, and now there were only a few hairs left on his head.

"But his family should not be in a good financial situation, where will he get the money to go to cram school?" Mr. Tanaka turned his head to look at Mr. Toyo.

The latter spread his hands: "Perhaps, there are any relatives who happen to study at the University of Tokyo?" Or is it...... A social worker sent by the district office? ”

At this time, Japan began to follow the example of the West to establish a social work system, but the effect was limited and did not help to solve the increasingly serious problem of "street friends" (i.e., homeless people).

Mr. Tanaka was noncommittal and looked down at the test paper again.

"So, how many points did he get?" The bird asked.

"98 points, the highest score this time." Mr. Tanaka replied, "When I came out of the question, I had been thinking about the University of Tokyo, so I deviated a little bit from the direction of the TOKYO self-examination questions, so many students who usually have a high deviation value did not make many questions. ”

Little Bird You was shocked: "That...... Isn't it outrageous that Kiryu-san still scored 98 points? ”

"That's why I'm sighing that he's really serious about planning to go to the University of Tokyo." Saying that, Mr. Tanaka suddenly laughed, "If you think about it, isn't that a good thing?" Even if you can't go to the University of Tokyo, going to a better private university is a great thing to add to the school's glory. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out the thickest one from the row of books in front of him: "I'll make a list of reference books for him to use in the entrance examination." ”

Teacher Kotori also suddenly woke up: "It makes sense, then I'll also check the English test questions of the University of Tokyo in the previous exam." ”

"Let's do it!"

As soon as Mr. Tanaka's words fell, another teacher entered the door with the teaching materials, and when he heard their words, he asked suspiciously, "What should I do?" ”

"Ah, Kiryu-san, who is in class B, seems to really want to be admitted to the University of Tokyo, and he has even studied calculus." Mr. Tanaka replied.

"Really?" The teacher who just came in looked surprised, "Is that Kiryu?" ”

Mr. Kotoriyu's face was black: "Yes, it's the Kiryu who despised my pronunciation yesterday." ”

"Really? His ranking is not high, is there really any hope of being admitted to the University of Tokyo? ”

"There is hope." Mr. Tanaka bowed his head to write Kiryu's bibliography and said without raising his head, "But there is a certain hope, and it depends on the national simulation after returning from Golden Week." However, I think it is better to encourage him now, and then decide which school to persuade him to go to after looking at the national rankings. ”

The teacher who just came in complimented, "It's a good thing, our school hasn't been to the University of Tokyo for several years." ”

Because Japanese national universities like to hold entrance exams on the same day, candidates make their choice at the moment they decide to apply for the exam, and there is no possibility of using other schools to cover the situation, so people always tend to apply to the school they are most sure of.

Therefore, even if it is a strong school like Beige's, it is normal that he has not been to Tokyo University for many years.

The three teachers were chatting, and the homeroom teacher of Class B, Mr. Tachibana, also came in, and Mr. Tanaka immediately stopped him as soon as he came in: "Mr. Tachibana, you haven't dismissed Kiryu and Ma's hope for investigation, have you?" ”

"Not yet, but I'm going to borrow the apprentice guidance room to have a good talk with him today." Tachibana-sensei said, "What's wrong?" Did he commit a crime? ”

"No, no, no! We felt that he might really want to take the test, and it seemed that there was still a slight chance to get in. ”

Teacher Tachibana's mouth opened wide: "Really? ”

"Really, really. You see, this is my quiz today, and he has the highest score, ten points higher than the second place! ”

Teacher Tachibana immediately went over and took the test paper handed over by Mr. Tanaka.

One is Kiryu and Ma's, 98 points, and the other is Yoichi Yamada, 88 points.

Mr. Tachibana didn't speak for a long time, and then he looked up and asked Mr. Tanaka, who was older than him, "Then should I change my strategy and support him to enter Tokyo University?" ”

"Now support it and see where he can go in the end. Anyway, after the entrance examination next year, you will have to decide which school to apply for. Mr. Tanaka advised.

Teacher Tachibana nodded: "Okay, then do it." ”

"By the way, I've made a bibliography for him here, mathematical, and you can pass it on to him when you interview him later." Mr. Tanaka tore out the piece of paper on which he had written about six or seven entries from his notebook and stuffed it into Mr. Tachibana.

"Wait a minute, wait for me!" Teacher Xiaoniayou shouted, "I'll list one too." ”

At this time, Mr. Nakajo, who teaches Mandarin, also came in, and when he saw the scene, he asked suspiciously, "What are you talking about, so enthusiastic?" ”

So Mr. Tanaka once again took on the task of explaining.

After listening to this, Mr. Nakajo clapped his hands: "Okay! I'll make a bibliography as well. Seriously, it's been a long time since I've met a student who really wants to go to the University of Tokyo. ”
