"Once the teachers arrive, our junior high school section will officially begin classes."

Mu Xuejian also showed a surprised expression when he heard the news.

"Don't we have a teacher yet?"

Zhou Xuelan gave an awkward smile.

"We are teaching in this area."

"We're already spending money to hire them."

"But please rest assured, parents, we will not joke about the children."

Mu Xuejian nodded in agreement.

"That's true."

No teacher would joke about their students.

This place was no exception. Mu Xuejian understood Zhou Xuelan's thoughts, and he followed Zhou Xuelan back to the visiting group.

When they arrived at the back of the school and saw the neat playground and basketball court, the surrounding parents exclaimed in surprise.

Mu Xuejian found it even harder to believe that this was a Hope Primary School in a mountainous area.

This place has everything you could want: a canteen, dormitories, teaching buildings, and even a recreational environment for the children. It's even more luxurious than the teaching facilities of many primary schools in Shangdu.

If you say that the teachers who come here are just volunteering, then it's more accurate to say that the people who come here to do things are the ones who are truly here to educate students.

Meanwhile, staff from the Education Bureau were giving an introduction to the parents.

"This is our school principal, Zhou Xuelan, Principal Zhou."

"Next, let her introduce the school environment to everyone."

Mu Xuejian was somewhat surprised.

He never expected that the person he had just been talking to would be the school principal.

What Mu Xuejian found most unbelievable was that the environment of this school dormitory was much better than most places.

In dormitories for lower grades, there are usually six people in one room, and each student has their own small bed.

When we reached fourth or fifth grade, we started to be divided into upper and lower beds, and each dormitory was filled with eight people.

Furthermore, the boys' and girls' dormitories are separate, but the washing areas are shared. Mu Xuejian even saw a washing machine that the school specially prepared for the children, so that they could wash their school uniforms and such.

This scene prompted many parents to cautiously inquire about Zhou Xuelan's situation.

"Principal Zhou, are you sure you don't charge tuition?"

Zhou Xuelan was slightly taken aback, then quickly explained with a smile.

"That's right, our school is currently a private school, mainly a non-profit institution."

"Our main source of income is donations."

"The children's tuition fees are basically deducted from the donations."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xuejian immediately frowned.

He was all too familiar with this model; many schools used the guise of donations to do good deeds, but in reality, they were just lining their own pockets.

Most schools appear to be doing well on the surface, but in reality, they often resort to all sorts of underhanded tactics.

Mu Xuejian became even more concerned about this and began to be wary of the school.

When it was lunchtime, the lavish meals at the school greatly surprised these parents.

They can't provide such good food for their children at home; the children eat better at school than at home.

During the meal, Mu Xuejian subtly inquired about the students' identities.

"Have you always eaten like this?"

One student nodded blankly, without the slightest hesitation.

"Does it taste good?"

"tasty!"

One of the students flashed a bright smile and added to Mu Xuejian's comment.

"Sometimes Principal Lin would even buy us delicious fruit!"

Mu Xuejian frowned slightly.

Principal Lin?

He looked back at Zhou Xuelan, a hint of doubt in his eyes. Did this school have a second principal?

Now he is even more skeptical about the school's authenticity.

Because everything was so strangely good, it made him feel like this was just a fake school in disguise.

Until a child walked over to the food station and smiled as he spoke to the cafeteria lady.

"Auntie! Could you prepare an extra portion for me tomorrow?"

"I want to take it back for my mom to eat."

The aunt's eyes curved into crescent moons as she gently agreed.

"no problem."

"After you finish lunch tomorrow, give your lunchbox to Auntie, and she will wash it and pack a meal for you."

The little boy showed two rows of small tiger teeth.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

This action completely stunned Mu Xuejian.

A moment later, he began to feel remorse for his ignorance.

What these children take for granted in their daily lives has become, in his eyes, a means for the school to make a profit.

Mu Xuejian finally understood that this school was simply a money pit, doing good deeds for the sake of doing good deeds.

When the children took a break at noon, Zhou Xuelan also arranged for a teacher to explain the situation at the school to the parents.

Given the current situation with teachers, and considering that the school is currently unable to help with school placement after the child graduates from junior high school.

All the pros and cons were clearly stated, but the issue of money was not mentioned at all.

Many parents were still worried about school fees, and Zhou Xuelan quickly corrected them.

"Our primary school is completely free of charge."

"The junior high school students pay for the same textbook, and the school uniforms are sponsored."

"The textbook fee is 80 yuan per academic year."

Upon hearing this, many parents around gasped in shock.

Eighty yuan for textbooks is really not expensive.

In those schools, the cost of books alone can easily exceed one hundred yuan, not to mention other school fees.

Not only is food and lodging free, but the only charge is for textbooks, which has made these parents quite interested.
