Chapter 439 It’s Stable, It’s Stable This Time
After the first Chinese language test, the teachers of Ruxu No. 2 Middle School had already started the intensive work of marking the test papers.
Generally speaking, for mock exams like this, which are supervised by teachers from the same school, graded by teachers from the same school, and counted by teachers from the same school, the severity of the deductions for the papers is relatively lenient, usually under the suggestion of school leaders, and the points that can be given will not be deducted too harshly unless it is necessary.
This is certainly not done for any other purpose, but the school leaders do it on purpose in order to make their school's results look better when reporting them to the local education committee.
Why does Zhou Yu know it so clearly?
Of course, as a teacher, he knows some inside information of the industry very well. For example, he knows that some so-called open classes are scripted.
However, Zhou Yu knew that the "relatively lenient deductions" issue could be traced back to when he was in junior high school.
Zhou Yu discovered this matter by chance at that time.
As early as the ninth grade, the stage from junior high school to high school, Zhou Yu and his classmates basically had a small test every three days and a big test every five days.
There are exams, and they must be mock exams, small joint exams, etc.
The junior high school Zhou Yu attended at the time was pretty good, so the resources were also pretty good. So when he was in the third year of junior high school, Zhou Yu and his classmates would often participate in joint exams and competitions with ninth grade students from other schools.
Since there is a competition, there will definitely be competition. After all, the leaders of the local education committee will definitely pay attention to the joint examination. If the test scores of their students are not better than those of friendly schools, it will definitely not look good in the eyes of leaders and subordinates.
Therefore, under the hints or explicit instructions of school leaders, the strictness of test paper grading after the exam is generally more relaxed than other ordinary exams in the past.
Zhou Yu knew these things so clearly, of course not because of his teachers' words and deeds.
This kind of thing would naturally not happen, and there is no way to explain it directly to the students. After all, how can such a dirty thing be known to the future flowers and grasses of our motherland?
The reason why Zhou Yu knew all this was simply because he discovered it himself.
By chance, after the test results came out, Zhou Yu was checking the wrong questions on his test paper and found that a small question on his test paper, which should have deducted about 3 points, was only deducted 1 point in this test. This made the young Zhou Yu, who was still young at the time, extremely confused and surprised.
The question is, why did so few points get deducted for this question in this exam?
Is that right? Something went wrong somewhere?
The surprise was that this happened not only with this question, but also with the wrong questions in other subjects. This made Zhou Yu's total score in this exam more than ten points higher than the originally estimated total score.
Zhou Yu didn't understand at the time. He thought the examiner was a good person who felt sorry for his students, so he deliberately gave them more points. It was not until Zhou Yu became a teacher himself that he realized the strangeness.
However, Ruxu No. 2 Middle School would definitely not do such a thing.
Lao Wang has always been strict about this matter and would never do anything that would affect his students just for the sake of face.
Lao Wang and his friends think, how many large-scale, high-level exams can there be in the entire year of senior high school?
It is so hard to organize a large joint examination. Such opportunities are rare. We must treat every large-scale examination with the most serious attitude, let students fully feel that the examination is comparable to the college entrance examination level, and take this opportunity to achieve the vision of honing themselves and improving their level.
As for those so-called little tricks?
According to Principal Wang, you can do these little tricks to make yourself look better now, but what will you do when you take the college entrance examination?
Can your school grade the college entrance examination papers by itself, and can you give your own students a break and give your own students a little more points?
If it is really possible, no need for anyone to say more, Lao Wang guarantees that he will be the first to do it!
He is not a pedantic person. When Zhou Yu was not very prominent at the beginning, he went to invite Zhou Yu in person, and even went to Xiangcheng with the idea of "visiting Zhou Yu three times". It can be seen that Lao Wang is a man with a lot of ideas.
"So, let other schools do those things! They can fight for temporary face as much as they want! What we want and what we are doing now is to lay the foundation for the ultimate goal of the college entrance examination! After the college entrance examination results come out, it will be clear who is right and who is wrong!" said Lao Wang.
...
...
That afternoon, while other students were sitting in the examination room nervously working on their math papers, Zhou Yu leisurely changed his clothes, left his home, and walked towards the dormitory building.
Zhou Yu didn't intend to go to the examination room for inspection as he did in the morning.
The incident of Xu Li handing in the paper early in the morning was purely an accident. Zhou Yu did not want to pay too much attention to it. The only thing he wanted to know now was about the grading of this exam.
Zhou Yu staggered past the teaching building, which was filled with examinees but as quiet as if no one was around, and walked straight towards the office building.
After arriving at the office, Zhou Yu found that even though it was the weekend, there were already teachers in the office busy marking test papers with names covered on them.
Taking up teachers' weekend time to do work is certainly considered overtime.
Overtime work requires overtime pay. To some extent, this can be regarded as other benefits that Lao Wang seeks for these teachers. After all, teachers' income sources are relatively single, and not all teachers are as rich as Zhou Yu.
All these teachers were sitting at their desks with their heads down, holding pens, marking the test papers seriously. They were so serious that they didn't even notice Zhou Yu walking into the office casually.
"Teacher Qian, are you grading the test papers?"
Zhou Yu walked up to one of the teachers he was familiar with and greeted him softly. When he found that the other party did not respond, he did not disturb him, but stood quietly by the side, looking down at the other party grading the test papers. After watching for a while, he was discovered by the teacher who was stretching.
"Fuck, I'm scared to death!"
Teacher Qian turned pale with fright when he suddenly realized that there was someone beside him. When he found out that the person standing next to him was Zhou Yu, he calmed down and patted his chest, "Teacher Zhou, how come you walk without making any sound?! Scaring people can kill them!"
ah?
Can you blame me for this?
I think the noise I made when I came into the office was quite loud. Wasn't it because you were too serious about grading the test papers?
If you didn't notice me, that's your own problem!
Zhou Yu showed an innocent look on his face and explained to the teacher, "Teacher Qian, you really can't blame me. I greeted you when I came. You were just too engrossed and didn't notice!"
"Really? I didn't even notice you greeted me? I was so into it?"
Teacher Qian glanced at Zhou Yu in surprise and said, "Hey, maybe I'm really too focused. Sorry, sorry, the time is tight and the workload is heavy. I have to be more serious!"
After that, Teacher Qian did not forget to make a joke to Zhou Yu, and teased Zhou Yu with a smile, "Teacher Zhou, you are so leisurely! Not only do you not need to be an invigilator, you don't even have to correct the test papers yourself, it's so comfortable!"
Zhou Yu scratched his head in embarrassment. He couldn't respond to the joke made by Teacher Qian, even though Zhou Yu knew that the joke made by Teacher Qian was just a simple teasing and there was no malice in it.
Zhou Yu has "privileges" in Ruxu No. 2 Middle School. This is a fact recognized by everyone in Ruxu No. 2 Middle School, from leaders and teachers to students.
For things like invigilating or grading exams, the school leaders would never let Zhou Yu do them. They took the initiative to ask Zhou Yu to save his precious time and use it to improve students' grades.
As for some other miscellaneous things...
We, the school leaders, are here to serve the teachers. As long as you, Teacher Zhou, speak up, we will solve any problem!
As a result, Zhou Yu now rarely has other trivial matters. Whenever there is a small matter that distracts Zhou Yu, the school leaders headed by Lao Wang will take the initiative to help Zhou Yu solve it.
As for why other teachers didn't get the same treatment as Zhou Yu...
Well, if you can also bring a class of mixed quality up to the level of a first-class university, then Lao Wang and others will take the initiative to give you the same treatment as Zhou Yu.
Therefore, other teachers felt that they did not have the ability to do so, and no longer envied Zhou Yu's status as the "Prince of Ruxu Second Middle School". At most, they would only envy him occasionally.
I am definitely envious, but as for jealousy, I can’t really say.
As for why I can’t explain it, I guess it’s just human nature.
You will be jealous of someone who is a little better than you, but you will definitely not be jealous of someone who is much better than you.
The former is because he is not much different from you and you may even surpass him, but the latter will make you feel the gap between you two, the huge difference between him and you, and you won't feel jealous at all.
In Teacher Qian's opinion, people like Zhou Yu, even if they did not study at Ruxu No. 2 Middle School, could still make great achievements and be valued if they went to other schools. The reason why he is still staying in Ruxu No. 2 Middle School, a high school that is not very strong in the province, is simply because he was valued by Principal Wang at the beginning, and now he is grateful to him, so he still stays in the No. 2 Middle School.
This Zhou Yu is so lame!
If I were so capable, I would jump ship and teach at the best school in the country, regardless of any favors you offer!
Even if you don't go to the best high school in the country, you have to at least go to the best high school in the provincial capital, Luzhou!
You can't, you can't stop me from going to a better school, can you?
Is that right?
But Teacher Qian is not Zhou Yu after all, and he does not have Zhou Yu's abilities, so all this is just wishful thinking.
After all, Teacher Qian has already settled down in Ruxu. His wife is here, his children are here, and he has spent half of his life in this small county town. Everything he knows is in this small county town with an urban area of about 30 square kilometers. If he really had the opportunity to work in the provincial capital, he might hesitate for a long time.
Seeing Zhou Yu's embarrassed expression, Teacher Qian took the initiative to help Zhou Yu out. "Teacher Zhou, you are usually so busy at work. It's not easy to find time to rest. Why did you come to the office instead of resting at home?"
Seeing that the topic had changed, Zhou Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a smile, "Hey, isn't this an exam that our school takes very seriously? I couldn't sit still at home, so I wanted to come and see if the test paper had been corrected and how it was corrected."
Zhou Yufu glanced at the test paper with the name covered in front of Teacher Qian and continued, "Just as I expected, Teacher Qian, you guys have really started grading the test papers! How is it going? Are you almost done?"
"Time is tight and the task is heavy, so we have to seize the time!"
Zhou Yu asked curiously, "How much has it changed? How did our school perform in the exam this time?"
When Zhou Yu asked this, Teacher Qian knew what Zhou Yu wanted to ask.
"Hey, this test paper is still a bit difficult. After the revision, it's not too ideal. Basically, the score is around 90 points."
Teacher Qian reached out his hand, picked up the test paper and waved it towards Zhou Yu, "But don't worry, Teacher Zhou, these test papers are definitely not from your students... Well, based on the strength of your students, I don't think this test paper will be difficult for you, so don't worry!"
Teacher Qian explained and started working at his desk again, but this time because Zhou Yu was next to him, he had to distract himself by answering Zhou Yu's questions.
Zhou Yu was also quite tactful. After getting the answer he wanted, he chatted with Teacher Qian for a few more words, then turned around and left the office without disturbing the other person's work.
...
...
Just as Teacher Qian recognized the level of students in Zhou Yu's two classes, although the test paper was indeed a bit difficult and the level was indeed quite high, in the eyes of Zhou Yu's students, they could still pass it.
Not only Ji Nianping, Ouyang Ming, and Li Lei, who were ranked at the top of the liberal arts and sciences, thought so, but even Xu Li, whose mentality was affected in the morning, thought so too.
In the math test in the afternoon, even though Zhou Yu did not go to the examination room to inspect this time, Xu Li was very smart and did not make any more mistakes. Instead, he waited obediently until the end of the test before handing in his paper.
After finishing the exam and handing in the test paper, Xu Li cheered, happily packed up his pens and prepared to leave the classroom.
His appearance immediately surprised the classmates around him.
"The math test was quite difficult this time, especially the last big question. I had no idea how to do it. Xu Li, you managed to solve it? Are you so amazing?" a classmate asked in amazement.
"The last question? How is that possible! I can't even answer such a difficult question!"
"Huh? Why are you so happy? It's a whole question! How many points!"
"What should we do then?" Xu Li asked back.
Yeah, what should we do?
Mathematics is different from other subjects. When people are pushed into a corner, they can do anything, but not mathematics.
I don’t know math, I really don’t know it.
"If I don't know the answer to the last question, I just can't do it. The best I can do is write a solution and add some random formula to it, and see if the teacher can give me a sympathetic mark!"
This practice is common among people. Even the teacher has told you that even if you don't know the answer, you still have to write an explanation for me. In this way, the examiner will give you 1 point for sympathy.
If you don’t write anything, the teacher won’t be able to give you any marks.
"However, although I didn't get the last big question right, I got all the points I should have gotten before! I checked it carefully, and if nothing goes wrong, I should be able to get 120 points in math this time!"
