"Okay, that's about the specific situation," Wang Hongwen said after closing his notebook and looking at the teachers who were already eager to try. "Now, if you have any questions, you can ask them."
As soon as he finished speaking, a teacher below the podium couldn't wait to speak.
The question he asked was naturally about what Wang Hongwen had just said, about invigilation at a different school. "Principal, I would like to ask you about the question you just mentioned about invigilation at a different school."
"It would be fine if we only supervised the other schools in the city, but as you just said, this is a joint exam for the whole county, which is benchmarked against the college entrance examination. In order to ensure fairness, we will probably have to go to the schools in the towns."
"We have no problem going to the township high school to supervise the exam, but what about commuting? There is a problem with commuting. Many teachers don't have cars. You can't let us walk there early in the morning, right?"
When the other people below the podium heard the teacher asking questions that concerned them, they couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"That's right, Principal. Commuting is a big problem. The arrangement made by the Education Committee is totally unreasonable! Can't they let their own teachers supervise their own schools?"
"That's right. Isn't it a sheer waste of manpower to do this? Is it necessary?"
"That's right, to torture people like this, you must have nothing better to do!"
......
After hearing what these people said, Zhou Yu couldn't help but nodded slightly. He felt that what these teachers said made sense. It was just a monthly exam, and unified grading was enough to ensure fairness. There was no need to have invigilators from different schools. What was the point of that?
Wang Hongwen nodded slightly, took a pen and wrote on his notebook, and asked, "Apart from the commuting issue, are there any other issues? If so, please tell me, and I will answer them one by one after you finish speaking."
After hearing what Wang Hongwen said, everyone spoke up and raised a series of questions, including but not limited to the time arrangement, how the marking teachers would be arranged, whether there would be a unified statistical ranking for the entire county after the scores came out, and whether there would be any subsidies.
After all the teachers had finished asking questions, Wang Hongwen put down the pen he had been using to take notes, looked at the contents in his notebook, and prepared to start answering the teachers' questions.
Wang Hongwen answered the questions one by one. "Proctoring in a different school is indeed a problem. Just like what Teacher Zhang said, if you are assigned to a few high schools in the city, it's not so bad. The commute is just a little longer than before. But what if you are assigned to a high school in a remote township?"
"So, in order to solve everyone's worries, the Education Commission has made unified arrangements on this point! A unified minibus will be stationed at the gates of several schools in the city every morning during the exam period, and will be responsible for sending teachers to designated schools according to the route. After the exam is over, everyone will be sent back to the city."
After hearing that the Education Commission and the school had made arrangements for commuting, everyone felt a little better, even though they still had some complaints about how much trouble they had to go through.
It would be best if I wasn't arranged to go to a remote town! But if I am unlucky enough to be arranged, it's better than finding a car to go there by myself.
"In addition, speaking of this, I will also talk about the subsidy that Teacher Wang asked about just now," Wang Hongwen said with a smile, "Everyone comes out to work for money. After all, work is to earn money to support the family. Otherwise, what else can it be for? Is it to generate electricity with love?"
Wang Hongwen rarely made a joke, and everyone laughed out loud out of respect.
After the laughter died down, Wang Hongwen continued, "So considering that our teachers will have to work harder during the two days of the exam, and the teachers who will be assigned to mark the papers afterwards, our school and the Education Committee cannot let the teachers' efforts go in vain..."
When he said this, everyone knew what the principal was going to say next and began to look forward to it.
As expected, Wang Hongwen continued, "During the two days of the monthly exam, everyone will be paid normally. In addition, there are subsidies for everyone. Teachers who supervise exams in urban areas will receive a subsidy of 100 yuan per day, and teachers who supervise exams in township high schools will receive a subsidy of 150 yuan per day."
In order to encourage teachers to go to remote towns and villages to supervise exams willingly, the Education Commission tried every means to give teachers who went to remote towns and villages as much subsidy as possible. "In addition, teachers who supervise exams in urban areas will not be provided with meals; while teachers who supervise exams in rural high schools will be given an additional 50 yuan meal subsidy."
As soon as these words were spoken, the teachers below became excited.
Generally speaking, according to the unspoken rules, teachers who go to township high schools to supervise exams will be actively entertained by those township schools even if they do not have the 50 yuan food allowance.
Therefore, this 50 yuan food allowance can actually be saved. In addition, the teachers who go to townships to invigilate the exam receive 50 yuan more in subsidies than those in urban areas. All in all, for the two-day exam, that is 200 yuan.
With an extra 200 RMB, you can get two free meals. With this kind of treatment, why are you still working as an invigilator in the city? !
Some teachers who have thought it through and are short of money have started to think about whether they can apply to the principal for a switch if they are not arranged to invigilate at the township high school.
After Wang Hongwen saw that the teachers below had no objection to going to the township high school to supervise the exams, he mentioned some other measures and treatments, and everyone was speechless immediately.
What else can I say?
The school and the education committee have taken all the necessary considerations into account. Do you still want to give up? Just treat it as an opportunity for the education committee and the school to make some extra money. Just work hard! Although the extra money is not much, every little bit counts!
"Okay, since everyone has no objection, then go back and prepare for the next monthly exam!" Wang Hongwen looked at the teachers below and said, "Teachers, please pay attention. This monthly exam is a joint exam for the entire county!"
"The test scores will be ranked uniformly. Then, everyone will be able to see the test results! It will be clear at a glance which school performed well and which school performed poorly!"
"So, I hope everyone will prepare well. This is a big competition for all high schools in the county. I don't want our Ruxu No. 2 Middle School to not only lose face in front of other teachers, students and parents in the county, but also lose face and be embarrassed!"
What Principal Wang Hongwen said was quite serious. It seemed that the principal attached great importance to this monthly exam.
Wang Hongwen didn't need to say much, as all the teachers present were very smart. When Wang Hongwen introduced the scale of this monthly exam, everyone knew that this joint exam was definitely held to find out the situation of each school.
So, since everyone knows that this monthly exam is important, everyone will definitely not treat it as just an ordinary exam like they did the first monthly exam. Instead, everyone will put in 120% of their energy and let all students treat this exam in the best condition.
