Chapter 6: You are my hope

"Support high school students to double their homework! Save America's Future! ”

"It's urgent for high school students to feel the pressure of college homework in advance! We can't afford to lose to the USSR! ”

A group of men and women from Stanford University held signs and shouted their slogans to passers-by.

This is an activity to support education reform and increase the amount of homework in primary and secondary schools in the United States, and the US government survey found that their own basic education is worrying, and more than 20 million American adults even face difficult reading and writing questions in junior high school, and it is difficult to get satisfactory scores.

Public high school students in the United States show little interest in studying, and activities that are not related to studying, such as dating, sports, and parties, occupy most of the day.

Before, Americans felt that their own happy education was very good, until not long ago, the British were bored, and helped American high school students and Soviet high school students to make a simple comparison, and made a documentary, and then the Americans found that the life of Soviet high school students was very fulfilling, under the strict requirements of the teacher, they went to class on time, did physics experiments, read world classics, etc., and went to the barracks to participate in some student experience activities after school, and their own high school students' day was to talk to their favorite girls in various classrooms, and date each other after school, party, Sneak in on some prescription drugs......

Although it was very dissatisfied with being exposed by the British, the US government found that the quality of its own high school students was not only inferior to that of the Soviet Union, but also that there were many gaps between the high school students of Japan, South Korea, and Germany.

This made the U.S. government feel that it was necessary to carry out educational reforms, such as raising the amount of homework for high school students first, so that they would not have time to pick up girls, at least on the surface, so that high school students would look as full as Soviet high school students.

So in the past few years, a bunch of people like to join in the fun have emerged in various universities across the country to support high school students to increase their homework load, anyway, they are already in college, they don't need to feel this pain, and teachers in various public high schools have joined forces to oppose this reform, after all, once the reform is successful, their workload will also increase greatly.

"Which side do you think you should support if you are qualified to participate in this stance game like the big companies?" Sitting in front of an open-air coffee stand on Greek Avenue at Stanford University, Tommy smiled at Susan and asked, "I remember when I was a student, the school held this kind of parade, and after all these years, everyone is still happy to help the younger generations improve their homework." ”

"Pro-reform, of course." Susan watched a group of men and women pass by and smiled at Tommy and asked, "Would you like to visit ONE's Brotherhood House?" ”

Compared with the temperament of the previous students, Susan is now much more mature, with long hair falling on her back like waves, and her elastic legs sitting on top of each other, although she is not a top beauty, but at this moment, the casual movement inadvertently reveals the style, which still makes the part-time waiter who came over to bring coffee to the two of them can't help but sneak a few more glances.

"No, don't break the rules of the Brotherhood." Tommy looked at Susan, "I guess you didn't call me just to treat me to a cup of campus coffee, right?" ”

Susan looked at Sophia, who was taking a picture with her camera not far away, who was returning to the Stanford campus, and then looked at Tommy: "I'm almost graduating, Tommy." ”

"I know, but you don't need me to offer you a job anymore like I did back then." Tommy picked up the cigarette Susan had brought on the table, lit one and looked at Susan.

Today, Susan Curtis is the president of the eleven-member ONE Brotherhood at Stanford University, and although Tommy didn't deliberately inquire about Susan's situation at Stanford, Sophia occasionally talks about what she learned about Susan from Mark, Holly, and others.

In her second year at Stanford, Susan took the five-person ONE to the agricultural area of the Central Valley in Saramento, where she offered a business called a "pig bank" to the low-income American families on the local farms who were struggling to find jobs because of Latino stowaways.

ONE provides one male and one female two young pigs, feed and medicine, etc., and the other party only needs to feed the pigs provided to them every day, raise it and use it to breed and expand the scale, or prepare to sell it with them, but ONE needs to charge the interest of a fat pig, that is, the other party raises two pigs, one of which is to help ONE raise.

At that time, both Mark and Sophia felt that Susan was emulating Tommy, and only Tommy knew that Susan had begun to try to understand the most basic political game.

It seems that the interest is as high as a pig, but Susan and her ONE are not ready to become California breeding tycoons, but have the capital to cooperate with those politicians, who want the votes of the bottom voters, and Susan and ONE can help them, then they will naturally not be stingy with kindness.

"A black congresswoman in Saramento County wanted me to be her speech-writing secretary after I graduated." Susan looked at Tommy, "What do you think of the job?" ”

Tommy looked at the SSD fraternity house looming in the distance and gave his opinion: "A lot of political science graduates will start their careers as assistant to parliamentarians, assistant to officials, and decent, if you like to go, of course I have no opinion." ”

"How's your black TV station?" Susan didn't continue to ask for the other person's opinion, and then asked about BT TV.

Tommy retracted his gaze and looked at Susan: "I asked Delia to help me find a black lawyer, and then the show is also being planned, and now TV production is industrialized, everything can be left to those Hollywood TV production companies, as long as you are willing to pay the bill." ”

"I want to work at your TV station." Susan hesitated for a long time before she couldn't help but look up and say to Tommy: "I've been thinking about this for a long time, going to Saramento or looking for you, but I think it's still necessary to go and work by your side." ”

Tommy shook his head slightly: "Do what you have to do, my TV station doesn't have you to do it at the moment......"

"The rate of out-of-wedlock births of blacks is 32%, 67% of black children are born out of wedlock, 70% of black children are born to unwed mothers, and there are two types of black family structures, one is that the father is regarded as the head of the family and the only worker, and the mother is the housewife who takes care of the children, and the other is that the family is fragmented, the mother raises the children alone, and the family is more like a matriarchal society." Susan looked at Tommy and said some data.

Tommy sighed, "The first time I've seen a job seeker call an employer to their site for an interview, Susan. ”

"The former is less than 30%, and the rest are matriarchal families, that is to say, 70% of the bottom American black families today are black matriarchy, and these single mothers are simply unable to take care of their children alone, they will rely on an extended family member to help themselves, maybe mothers, aunts, grandmothers, etc., for every 100,000 black men, the number of criminals in prison can reach 3,000, and white people are 460, I have systematically studied a lot of black materials in order to go to your TV station."

"I'm a TV stationer, Susan, and you're going to do what you want to do."

"You are my hope, Tommy." Susan looked at Tommy and said seriously, "I don't want to help a black congresswoman write a speech and help her fix her typos." ”

(I was also hospitalized for infusion today, and a family of four was finally all hit, except for my daughter, all three of them were in the hospital, and there was no update tonight, let's talk about it tomorrow, I haven't gotten rid of the fever yet, my brain is groggy, and I bear with me.) )
