"Students, today is April 12, 2020. I believe you have all heard while taking online classes that this year's college entrance examination will be postponed by one month."
According to past practice, our middle school entrance exam will be held the day after the college entrance exam. That means there are exactly three months minus one or two days left until July 11th, which is less than 100 days until the middle school entrance exam.
After he said this, most of the students, whether they were doing their problems or silently reading, stopped what they were doing and unconsciously looked at Fang Anmin. Because for a good-performing ninth grader, nothing is more important than the high school entrance exam.
Noticing this, Fang Anmin picked up his cup, took a small sip, and then spoke even more enthusiastically: "In about ten days, which is just after the midterm results have been released, it will be time for everyone to fill out their college applications."
Based on your grades, your own wishes, and your parents' opinions, everyone should carefully consider which school they should apply to.
To get into this class, everyone's grades are excellent. I believe most of you will either apply to the Experimental High School or plan to apply to No. 3 High School, because these two schools have the best college entrance examination pass rates among the six high schools in our county.
However, they are also different.
The Experimental High School has a more detailed class division, with four levels: Special Key, Key, Secondary Key, and Regular classes. It adopts the Zhangshui model, which involves high academic pressure and strict management. However, it is also a key high school supported by the city. Personally, I think it's more suitable for students with exceptionally high grades, strong ambition, and a desire to learn alongside classmates of similar ability.
Shangping No. 3 Middle School only has two levels: key classes and regular classes, and the school atmosphere and discipline are relatively relaxed. It is suitable for those who cannot reach higher levels in the Experimental High School but still want to be with high-achieving students.
If any of you here feel that you can't get into the top class of the Experimental High School, my suggestion is to try for the top class of No. 3 Middle School.
Overall, the average level of the two schools is not much different, and it is relatively easy to get into the top classes at No. 3 Middle School.
Of course, you should weigh the options carefully before deciding which school to apply to.
I won't mention the other schools in the county, as they are no longer within your consideration.
Upon hearing this, laughter erupted in the class, clearly indicating that everyone was quite satisfied with their grades.
Seeing the students' confident smiles, Fang Anmin was also very happy. He then added, "There is another special high school, Chaojin No.1 High School, which is the best in the city. It is not within the scope of our application choices, but in previous years, this school would select outstanding students from the entire city in advance for admission based on their mid-term and final exam results."
Upon hearing this, the top students in the class lit up, clearly showing their interest in attending Chaojin No. 1 Middle School.
But then Fang Anmin added, "However, last year the province issued a document prohibiting the city from doing this anymore."
The top students felt disappointed again.
However, Fang Anmin hadn't finished speaking when he added, "But I estimate that he will still be selecting high-quality students from various counties and districts this year, but I don't know exactly how he will do it."
Anyway, it's all about grades. If any of you students can get into the top 100 or even the top 10 in the city in the high school entrance exam, then it goes without saying that the top schools in the city, such as Chaojin No.1 Middle School, Chaojin No.18 Middle School, and Haitu Middle School, will all come to recruit you.
To put it more dramatically, if someone gets the highest score in the city's high school entrance exam, even top high schools like Shandong Experimental High School might try to poach them.
Of course, Fang Anmin only said those things as a joke.
In the past ten years, Baishi No. 1 Middle School has only produced one student, Chen Bing, who has consistently ranked first in the county. It's as if the late principal has blessed them. Moreover, he's ranked in the top ten in the city. Shangping County hasn't produced a single student in the top ten of the high school entrance exam for several years. What merit does Baishi No. 1 Middle School have?
However… after glancing at Chen Bing sitting by the window in the front row, Fang Anmin suddenly felt that it might not be impossible.
If only he could focus more on his studies. He's always staring at Director Shang's daughter. I usually just turn a blind eye.
Look at you, still watching, still watching, you're still watching now.
After mentally grumbling, Fang Anmin pulled his attention back to reality. Everything is subject to change, and there was no point in thinking about it before the high school entrance exam results were released.
After encouraging the students' enthusiasm for learning, Fang Anmin directed everyone to go outside and line up to go eat.
On the way back, Chen Bing was with Shang Yunmiao as usual.
He didn't care much about high school entrance exam choices; he was definitely going to apply to the Experimental High School, no doubt about it. So on the way, he chatted with Shang Yunmiao about his strange encounter the night before.
Normally, Xiao Shang would be both surprised and concerned upon hearing about school bullying. But today was different; her thoughts were preoccupied with Fang Anmin's remarks about the city's high schools.
The high schools in the city must be better, right? The students have better grades, the teachers are more capable, the admission standards are higher, and the girls there are definitely prettier and more outstanding.
If Chen Bing goes there to study after the high school entrance exam, and I don't pass...
Unlike before, when she would keep most of her troubles to herself and ask indirectly, Shang Yunmiao now chose to directly confirm with Chen Bing.
"Chen Bing..."
Chen Bing, who was enthusiastically recounting how she had brilliantly resolved a case of school bullying and hoped to improve her standing in Shang Yunmiao's eyes, immediately became concerned when she saw that her classmate Shang looked a little off.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Where do you want to go for high school?
"Experimental High School, what else?"
This answer did not reassure Xiao Shang. She immediately grabbed the corner of Chen Bingyi's dress and asked, "What if you do exceptionally well on your high school entrance exam and a high school in the city comes looking for you?"
As a shrewd man, Master Chen immediately realized what the little girl was worried about as soon as Shang Yunmiao said those words.
The clever man immediately began to think about how to answer. First and foremost, comforting himself was the necessary, indispensable, and primary thing to do.
Given this premise, is it possible for me to gain some benefit from it?
The answer is yes.
Mr. Chen suddenly gave a wicked smile, then replied with feigned hesitation, "Yes, what if the high schools in the city come looking for me?"
Xiao Shang felt a surge of tension.
