"Shenyu, are you kidding me? Your aunt and uncle scolded you again this weekend, didn't they? Don't worry about it, you still have to copy your homework."
After listening to his deskmate's words, Wang Shenyu felt a strange sense of accomplishment.
He took out seven worksheets from his backpack hanging behind his chair and placed them at the seam between his desk and Xiaoyou's desk.
Looking at the exercise sheets that were filled with work, especially the big questions on the math papers, which were completely covered with writing.
"No way, you're not telling me you made this yourself?"
Xiao You, whose full name is Zhao Xiaoyou, is indeed Wang Shenyu's best friend.
He was very clear about his friend's academic level and personality.
Although Wang Shenyu's grades weren't the worst, he could probably fill in all seven test papers if he spent a whole weekend on it.
Would he really do that? Don't be ridiculous.
And look at these exam papers.
Xiao You flipped through the papers, then picked up the ones she had just copied.
Damn, this looks more accurate than what I copied myself.
The other friends also came over when they heard the noise.
These two brothers who were arrested together usually had a very good relationship and always hung out together. The best students were Xiao You and Wang Shenyu, while the rest were probably in the lower middle of the class.
The other four or five scores were all on the verge of being at the bottom.
"Come on, let me copy this, I haven't finished copying mine yet..."
"I want one too. I'll copy the math first, you guys copy the others, we'll switch later."
"Copying Shenyu's homework today is really something new."
Several identical test papers were thus produced.
The next day, when the teacher was collecting homework, she saw several papers that were very similar to each other.
This situation happens far too often, and the teachers are all well aware of it, but sometimes they just don't point it out.
Looking at the names, I realized they were some of the students whose names were announced to the whole school on Saturday morning.
Apart from Xiaoyou, who had already copied the homework, the other five students were all here, although they didn't submit theirs together.
With a sigh, I skimmed over those papers, intending to grade the other papers first and then try to find out who the "original author" of those papers was.
Several other stacks of papers, which were also divided into several groups, were also found to be highly similar.
In no time, half a class period had passed, and all the math exam papers for Class 9 had been graded, except for the first five that had been separated.
However, the math teacher couldn't find out who they copied from, at least the problem-solving styles for the big questions were different.
After grading these 5 papers, I found that although the accuracy rate was not very high, the problem-solving ideas for the major questions were clear. Only some minor details were handled incorrectly. If I could listen to the correct problem-solving ideas once, I would generally not make similar mistakes again.
When it was time for the math class in Class 9, the math teacher specifically pointed out some minor, hard-to-find mistakes in the solutions on several test papers and explained them.
This enlightened Wang Shenyu, who was listening to the lecture below.
Although not every teacher is as dedicated as the math teacher, Wang Shenyu's progress was noticed by each of his teachers over the following period of time.
First, they achieved high scores on the standardized math test, which was administered across multiple classes. Second, their chemistry and physics test scores improved with each test. Third, their English and Chinese scores also showed significant improvement.
After that, in the grade-wide mock exam, his ranking improved dramatically, rising from 1100th to 121st.
He even managed to squeeze into 7th place in the class.
Such a leap of nearly a thousand places is very rare, and several of the teachers of Class 9 also admitted that Wang Shenyu's grades had already begun to improve significantly before this, and his classroom learning efficiency was also very high.
The stark contrast between the previous school-wide announcement and this significant improvement left a deep impression on the school leaders.
This shows that the school's teaching quality can still be affirmed.
This shows that schools have the ability to successfully educate a student who is traditionally considered a poor student into a high-achieving student with excellent character and academic performance.
As for your question about whether someone excels academically or morally, does that matter? As long as they excel academically, then they are excellent in both character and academics.
Therefore, after this mock exam, during the flag-raising ceremony on Monday, the school leaders emphasized Class 9 and the progress of Wang Shenyu.
He was also invited to the stage to share his "secrets" to learning, and encouraged other students who were struggling academically not to give up, as everyone has the opportunity to catch up.
Even those in the next class, most students didn't take them seriously.
But among Class 9 and some acquaintances, Wang Shenyu has now become a minor celebrity, especially his parents, who feel a sense of pride and accomplishment.
When the homeroom teacher calls to praise their child, it gives them the illusion that their child has already secured admission to Tsinghua or Peking University.
In the neighborhood and among relatives and friends, they would find any opportunity to bring up the children.
They'd strike up a casual conversation with someone and then find an opportunity to ask, "How's your child doing lately? Are their grades good?"
People usually either give a vague answer or reply that it's okay, and then politely ask how your child is doing.
Now comes the awesome moment.
A gust of sea wind.
"My child was praised by the homeroom teacher last time, and the teacher even called to tell me. It's really..."
"Last time during the flag-raising ceremony, the school leaders invited Shenyu to share his learning experiences. Sigh, this kid, the homeroom teacher still has to tell us these things. He's such a worry..."
"With such a demanding academic schedule, why is this kid still on the school basketball team, and even came in second place? Honestly, what if he gets injured..."
Relatives and friends would be surprised and offer a mix of genuine and feigned praise, greatly satisfying the vanity of the King's parents.
When he returns home and educates his own children, Wang Shenyu will become yet another "other people's child".
This attracted several new resentful men and women to Wang's classmate.
Strangely enough, ever since Wang Shenyu's overall quality as a student improved, his parents have been arguing less and less.
It was as if he had found spiritual support. His father, who he used to find somewhat irritable, and his mother, who he used to find somewhat nagging and annoying, had become much kinder and more affectionate.
It's another Saturday night, and I'm sitting at my desk in my room once again.
Next to it was a plate of fruit that my mother had peeled after the meal.
Wang Shenyu pulled out a sketch from his class notebook. It depicted a majestic monster, the image of the primordial demon Saraso.
For some reason, he, who is not usually good at drawing, painted this picture as easily as if he were copying it from his mind.
They gazed intently at the picture, sincerely "thanking" the demon, hoping to gain even greater "power."
He had considered the dangers of interacting with demons, but the real horror lay in the possibility of losing what he had experienced.
What have so many people gained from praying to angels and gods?
What they can't give me, the devil can!
So what if he's a demon!
