The girl's face turned red with anger at Jiang Li.
While feeling frustrated, she also wanted to tear Jiang Li's indifferent face to shreds.
"You're a transfer student, of course you don't have our sense of collective honor!" the girl said angrily. "Our class has always been the best in the school, with the highest average score, but because of you, our class average has dropped. Do you know how other classes will laugh at us?"
Although the girl's criticism of Jiang Li was driven by personal motives, her words were indeed for the good of her class.
It's just a pity...
Worrying is misplaced.
"Your sense of collective honor is to ostracize new transfer students?" Lu Jiming glanced coldly at the girl. "Who are you? A judge? What others do is none of your business to uphold justice?"
The girl dared to confront Jiang Li, but she didn't dare to challenge Lu Jiming.
When her eyes met Lu Jiming's, she immediately lowered her gaze in fear.
"Stop arguing," Jiang Xueqi stepped forward and said understandingly, "Jiang Li comes from a small town. She didn't have much formal education before. How can her knowledge level compare to that of our students? Don't hold her to the same standards you hold yourself to."
Jiang Li watched Jiang Xueqi pretending to be innocent and naive, scoffed inwardly, and then didn't spare her another glance.
The exam papers were graded very quickly; the scores were already tallied during class.
The homeroom teacher entered the classroom, and his expression was not good.
However, when everyone saw that he was holding the test paper, they probably knew that he was in a bad mood, which was probably related to the exam.
"What have you all been doing all day?" The homeroom teacher slammed the test papers on the table. "Our average score has dropped eight points since last time. The average score of Class Two next door is only two points lower than ours! Look at you all, so arrogant and conceited every day! But now we're about to be overtaken by Class Two. Tell me, aren't you ashamed? Aren't you ashamed?!
The homeroom teacher was clearly very angry about the exam results.
Because of the difficulty of the exam, the average score will be used to compare scores between classes.
But Class 1 only scored two points higher than Class 2...
This is a very serious problem.
"Teacher, what gives you the right to say that about us?" The girl who had argued with Jiang Li retorted, "The average score dropped, but can you blame us? Jiang Li skipped the exam, so how many points did we each have to give her? You can't just blame us for the drop in average score and ignore the culprit who dragged down our average! That's just too unfair!"
As soon as the girl spoke, the other students echoed her words.
They may not participate in other things, but when it comes to the dignity and honor of the whole class, this is something they cannot tolerate.
Jiang Li dragged their class down, but the teacher scolded them instead, which they couldn't tolerate!
The homeroom teacher couldn't help but sneer as she watched her classmates criticize Jiang Li. "You didn't do well on the test, and instead of reflecting on your own problems, you're blaming others. Who taught you all this?"
“Teacher, we did nothing wrong. Jiang Li didn’t even take the exam, so she got a zero. How many points does a zero drag down the average?” Another student stood up. “If we remove Jiang Li, wouldn’t our average score go up?”
The homeroom teacher's expression darkened further, and he finally sneered, "Is it possible that Jiang Li wasn't included in the average score for this exam?"
Except for Lu Jiming, the expressions on the faces of all the students in the class were cracking.
How is that possible?
If Jiang Li hadn't dragged down the class with her zero score, how could their class's average score have been only two points higher than Class 2's?
"That means the test was too easy this time, and we have no room for improvement." Another student tried his best to save face, refusing to admit that it was their own fault.
"Then hand out the test papers and take a look at them yourselves."
The homeroom teacher handed out the test papers, and everyone stared at them in silence.
The score wasn't that low.
However, apart from Lu Jiming, no one came close to a perfect score.
Of course, Lu Jiming still deserves to be ranked first in the entire grade.
The second place went to someone else and had nothing to do with Jiang Xueqi.
Jiang Xueqi looked at her score and felt a sudden tightness in her chest. Three large words flashed through her mind:
impossible!
How could she have only scored so few points?
She only scored a little over 100 on a test paper with a score of 160.
How is that possible?
When we checked the answers, she was clearly right; she was very confident in herself.
After a closer check, Jiang Xueqi's expression changed again.
Her problem-solving approach was correct, and her process was also correct, but she copied the wrong location for two questions.
There were a few questions that she didn't miss because she didn't know the answers, but because she wasn't careful enough and carelessly left some out.
The more confident you are about a problem, the higher your error rate will be.
It's no wonder the homeroom teacher got angry.
In the end, everyone reluctantly accepted this reality.
"Teacher, it was my carelessness." Jiang Xueqi stood up with a guilty look on her face. "I copied the answers to the wrong place, which caused me to lose a lot of points. This test was not difficult, but many students were careless because of it, which caused the average score to drop so much. Similarly, on behalf of the whole class, I would like to apologize to Jiang Li. We should not blame her for not taking the test."
As she spoke, Jiang Xueqi bowed deeply to Jiang Li.
"What gives you the right to apologize to Jiang Li on behalf of the whole class? Not all the students directly blamed Jiang Li. Don't generalize!" Lu Jiming was annoyed. This innocent girl seemed to be expressing remorse, but wasn't she actually just reminding the homeroom teacher of Jiang Li's absence from the exam?
The abacus beads were about to fall into his face.
It's a pity though...
She miscalculated.
Jiang Xueqi bit her lip, her eyes glistening with tears. "I'm sorry, I misspoke."
"Lu Jiming, Xueqi is doing this for the good of our whole class. Why are you being so sarcastic?" Jiang Xueqi's sycophant said unhappily. "Or do you not want our classmates to unite? Problems should be solved, shouldn't they? Xueqi has stood up for us. Even if you don't support her, don't make things worse! Just because the school is yours, does that mean you can act with impunity?"
"It's class time now, what are you all arguing about?" The homeroom teacher looked extremely displeased. He raised his hand and tapped the table, saying with a stern face, "I know what you're thinking. You're just unhappy that Jiang Li didn't take the exam, aren't you? In that case, you can enjoy the same treatment as Jiang Li."
then……
The homeroom teacher and other teachers discussed it and printed out all the test papers that had been given to Jiang Li. They set aside a day to give everyone a timed test.
Do you look down on Jiang Li?
Okay then...
You should also take the test and witness firsthand the difference between yourself and Jiang Li.
well……
There's a saying, isn't there?
It's not that the experts are unhelpful, it's that the teammates are overconfident.
