"If a comprehensive rollout doesn't work, then why not use the thinking from the early days of reform and opening up a hundred years ago?" Lu Guansheng reminded him.
"The idea in the early days of reform and opening up?" Zhu Quan pondered. "Letting some people get rich first? What's the connection?"
“Let some people start making changes first!”
"You mean... a few 'Deep City' first?"
"Bingo!"
"I see! We can have a few schools conduct the pilot program first!" Zhu Quan said, "but how do we choose?"
"How about a democratic vote?" Lu Guansheng asked, "Let all the students, parents, and teachers in the school vote. Then choose the school with the highest support rate?"
"That's right! This way the opposition will be much smaller!"
"Look! The bottleneck you mentioned isn't a problem! Right?"
"So...what about the training and start-up funds for teachers' new ideas?"
"I can allocate funds through the Jinhao Education Support Fund. As for teacher training... let them go to the [Science Foundation] to study. I'll let Gong Ruiyan lead the training team."
"Gong Ruiyan? It would be best if he is willing!" Zhu Quan thought about how the Education Bureau had offended him before, and wondered if he would agree.
"Don't worry! Educational reform is his great ambition! He won't give up, as long as you can give him real opportunities and freedom!"
"That's for sure! I've learned my lesson! I won't make the same mistake again!"
"Eden Bay is on summer vacation now! I'll have Gong Ruiyan make a plan and send it to you for review next week," Lu Guansheng said. "As for the voting, it's best if you get the results before the holiday. It shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"It's not difficult! I'll go to the TV station to make an announcement tomorrow! I have to make this education reform project a success!"
"It's Sunday today, can we put business aside for a while?" Lu Guansheng asked, seeing that the conversation was almost over. "Would you like to stay for dinner? We're having a barbecue tonight! Want to try some of those naughty kids' cooking?"
"Can they cook?" Zhu Quan himself couldn't cook, except for instant noodles and fried eggs.
"Not only that! The vegetables, poultry, and livestock here are all grown and raised by them! You're in for a treat!"
After hearing this, Zhu Quan was impressed but also became curious.
Seeing his curiosity, Lu Guansheng took him to the small farm in the back garden, let him visit and even participate in the children's meal preparation tasks.
Watching the children holding the answer board, calculating the amount of ingredients according to the number of people, and choosing food varieties according to the recipe, Zhu Quan wondered if he had missed out on too much when he was a child?
He always gets his hands pricked every time he picks an eggplant, and he needs the kids to teach him! Today he learned that there are thorns on the eggplant stem! What a lesson!
These two grown men, both over a hundred years old combined, now had only one thought in their mind: I feel inferior to them! I feel inferior to them!
