Chapter Twenty-Four: A Burning Carnival

"Seriously off-topic, you have no objections, right?" Director Yan cleared his throat and said loudly, and several teachers also nodded. The standard answer is obvious, the central idea should be how to cherish the study time. And this essay is digressed for thousands of miles. If you hit it 10,000 more times, I think it must be zero! ”

Deputy Director Wang of the Education Commission bowed slightly.

Ma Haowen raised his hand: "I object." I don't know what a standard answer is, but when I heard this essay just now, I thought it was beautiful and very moving. Beauty, is there a standard answer? ”

Director Yan couldn't hide his disdain: "When you get a low score in the college entrance examination, you will know if there is one." I'm responsible for the students! ”

Ma Haowen stepped forward and asked loudly, "Are we responsible for a certain exam, or are we responsible for their lives?" The new century is coming, we are in the greatest era, and you dare to say what the world will be like in 30 years, do you dare to say? You don't know how you're responsible? ”

Director Yan also stepped forward, and his fingers almost touched the tip of Ma Haowen's nose: "Strong words." Even if we don't know what the future world will be like, can we just let them go? ”

"Absolutely not!" Ma Haowen took the test paper from Ma Fei's hand, "Each multiple-choice question is four options, A, B, C, D, this method is very good." But in their long lives in the future, which problem will they encounter automatically have these four options? It's important to know ABCD. What's more, children need to know that the answer is often EFGHIJKLMN...... No matter how the world changes, as long as X, Y, and Z are thought of in every problem, our children will be able to control their own destiny! ”

The two men came and went, the situation was tense, and the audience couldn't help but talk about it.

Uncle Meng applauded violently: "Well said! What do you mean? ”

Deputy Director Wang smiled slightly, opened his notebook, and looked left and right: "This argument is very interesting and very representative. In this way, there are so many peers in the education industry today, why don't you give each of you a score? ”

After a while, the teachers scored the scores, and the scores were handed over to Deputy Director Wang.

He put on his reading glasses, looked at them, groaned slightly, and said, "Personally, I'll make a statement first." In our previous educational practice, such essays were given zero marks...... No problem! Sure enough, three teachers agreed with us. He counted the three pieces of paper in his hand: "Zero points!" ”

Director Yan couldn't hide his smile, raised his chin and glanced at Ma Haowen proudly.

Although Ma Haowen has a certain psychological preparation, he will inevitably be disappointed when he hears such a score. He suppressed his anger, took his son's hand, and prepared to leave.

"But", Deputy Director Wang looked at Ma Fei from above his reading glasses and smiled slyly, "There are also three teachers who have given full marks." Obviously, in accordance with the new concept of educational reform, they greatly appreciated the breadth of knowledge and rich imagination displayed in this essay. ”

Ma Haowen was surprised and delighted, and stopped his steps.

"For the rest, twenty-five, twenty-eight, twenty, thirty-five...... Oh, that's my score. Deputy Director Wang took out a piece of paper, shook his head and smiled, "The five points I deducted are the five idioms he piled up at the beginning, and that really can't be said to be very appropriate!" I'll look at the average score, twenty-three .six points! ”

"Yay!" Ma Fei cheered, jumped up and high-fived his mother and Teacher Xiao Gao.

Director Yan's face suddenly turned pale.

Deputy Director Wang smiled and patted Director Yan on the shoulder: "Actually, isn't this the topic we want to discuss at this deepening education reform meeting?" Director Yan, my opinion is that if there are more children who are good at thinking, our country will get better and better! ”

Teacher Xiao Gao touched Ma Fei's head lovingly, and Director Yan just shook his head without saying a word.

Suddenly, a tsunami-like shout came from the window, causing everyone in the office to walk to the window and look out.

Deputy Director Wang said curiously: "What is that?" ”

In the darkness of the night, hundreds of students poured into the playground, unloading their school bags and dumping the books and test papers inside as they ran. They began to tear books, homework books, and test papers...... Some students ran to the balcony of the school building to tear and throw pieces of paper into the air. In an instant, the school was like a fluttering goose feather snow.

On the snow, a shaved boy pulled off his school uniform, pulled out a lighter, and lit a thick stack of textbooks. The students quickly gathered around and threw the test papers in their hands into the flames. Everyone shouted around the fire, laughing and jumping, as if they were performing some mysterious ritual of sacrifice. They laughed until they burst into tears and jumped until their hands and feet trembled. It's a student.

"The annual feature of Boyu School is also the only student carnival that Director Yan acquiesces to. These participants are all students who have just taken the college entrance examination and scored high! Ma Haowen said softly.

Director Yan said disappreciably: "They have worked hard for so many years, and they are happy to take the exam, what's the problem?" ”

Ma Haowen sneered: "If the children who have just scored high in the exam are so eager to throw away or even burn the textbooks and test papers, I am worried about whether they really love learning!" Shouldn't learning be a lifelong habit? ...... their future lives"

Director Yan had enough.

For a whole day, this nasty fellow kept harassing his nerves like a gadfly, denying his worth, destroying his majesty, and making him ugly! He finally erupted uncontrollably: "Their future lives are the best lives!" A hundred times stronger than a guy like you! A thousand times! 10,000 times! My kids are the best kids! No one can deny me! Look at the wall, my kids have done so well in exams......"

Ma Haowen interrupted Director Yan's words, pointed out the window, and asked sharply, "Then who is he?" Who is he? ”

Outside the window, a small figure rushed into the playground and shouted wildly with the children.

Exactly the madman.

Everyone was stunned, and everyone looked at Director Yan.

Director Yan shouted hysterically, "Who let him rush in?" Blasting that madman out......"

Ma Haowen pointed to the conspicuous blank space on the wall and continued to ask: "Are you going to bomb him out of school now?" Here, why is there one less photo frame? Why? ”

"Enough, don't talk about it......" Director Yan couldn't support it anymore, he covered his face and slid down against the wall, his originally burly body was like a little old man at the moment.

Ma Haowen rushed to the back of the door and found a photo frame that was lying upside down. The frame was dusty and apparently some years old. He straightened the frame and held it highβ€”there was the face of a smiling teenager, vaguely insane.

"Once your most proud disciple! You have no children in your life, and everyone says that you treat him like your own son, and seven years ago, you handed the torch to my previous torchbearer, right? ”
