Chapter 12 This is what schools should do
Hearing that the topic had finally returned to business, Xu Yuan hurriedly explained, "I want to take half a day off so that I can go out and buy some new competition materials in the afternoon."
I thought this was just a casual question from the head teacher and would not be rejected.
But the following answer left him dumbfounded.
"No."
These were two simple words, but Wang Qingtao said them very firmly.
But before Xu Yuan could raise any questions, he quickly continued, "You are participating in the math league to represent the school. The required materials and real questions should be provided by the school. How can you let students buy them at their own expense?" He looked more serious than ever when he spoke.
"Didn't the school organize a competition class this year?" Xu Yuan asked back seriously.
"Don't worry about this. I'll go find the principal."
Wang Qingtao confidently guaranteed this and did not forget to urge Xu Yuan to hurry up and eat.
"Go to the cafeteria to get some food first."
"Class teacher, I'll go over first." Xu Yuan nodded in response.
No matter what Wang Qingtao's plan is, if the school provides all his competition information, it can save a considerable amount of expenses.
It also avoids wasting time.
Anyway, he won't lose anything.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan felt much happier and went straight to the cafeteria after leaving the classroom and office.
Just after Xu Yuan left, Wang Qingtao reluctantly looked away with excitement on his face.
The strength shown by Xu Yuan today made him see the possibility of making up for last year's regrets. Maybe he can really achieve excellent results in the league and join the provincial team to win glory for the school.
When he was sure that Xu Yuan had finished the competition simulation questions in just a few days, he changed his previous plan.
Decided to do our best to support Xu Yuan in participating in the league.
As for the school providing all the information and real questions, that is a matter of course.
Who makes Xu Yuan qualified?
"It seems that I need to go and have a good talk with Principal Sun."
Wang Qingtao murmured thoughtfully, not caring about what he was doing.
He casually cleaned up the table and left.
……
After lunch, as the students returned to the classroom for nap and study, there was a new figure in the principal's office.
"headmaster."
"Can you get some latest math competition information for this year?"
“It has to be high quality.”
Wang Qingtao waited for a long time until the principal came back, and as soon as he entered the office, he couldn't wait to express his demands.
Sun Xuehai looked at Wang Qingtao in surprise when he heard this, but he did not respond immediately. Instead, he asked the other party to sit down and walked to the water dispenser to pour a glass of water.
"Sit down first."
He walked over to Wang Qingtao, handed him the water and asked, "Our school doesn't have a competition class this year. What do you want the information for?"
"It's like this, a student in our class has signed up." Wang Qingtao took the water and put it on the table in front of him and answered quickly.
"I remember now, there was a registration form."
"But Mr. Wang, you know the school's rules. A school like his cannot provide additional information."
Sun Xuehai collected his memories and recalled that Wang Qingtao had indeed handed over a registration form before, and then explained the situation in a relatively kind tone.
Wang Qingtao had anticipated this and immediately introduced Xu Yuan to the principal.
"This student from our class is a potential national award candidate. There is no reason for the school not to support and train him." "A potential national award candidate?"
"Teacher Wang, are you kidding me?" Sun Xuehai suddenly raised his voice in surprise.
He had no idea that a national award candidate had been hidden in the school.
Since he was transferred to become the principal of Guyuan No. 1 High School, the school's key and undergraduate rates have continued to rise. It is no exaggeration to say that the school has become famous throughout the city.
Even students from surrounding counties are willing to pay to buy points to send their children to Guyuan No. 1 High School.
Because entering Guyuan No. 1 High School means you have taken half a step into undergraduate studies.
Unfortunately, the school has not made any achievements in competitions, and the number of students who register for the five major subject competitions each year is basically zero.
Sometimes when he went to the city to attend meetings, he could not say a word when he heard other principals bragging about how many of their students had won competition awards.
Precisely in order to avoid such a situation, he formed a mathematics competition class for the first time last year under considerable pressure, thinking that it would add a strong touch to the school's honor. However, he still underestimated the gap between the school and the city's middle schools.
Only one person in the whole school was shortlisted for the provincial third prize.
Afterwards, he was criticized by many parents, who believed that this was affecting their children's college entrance examination results.
As a result, the competition class ended hastily after the league ended.
If there really are national award seeds in the school, then the results will at least be good enough to get into the provincial team.
This is good for the school and for him personally.
The key is that he knows Wang Qingtao very well and knows that he is an excellent teacher who is reliable, capable and excellent.
I would never joke about this kind of thing.
Fortunately, Wang Qingtao did not pause for too long and immediately gave further detailed explanations.
"How dare I joke with you, Principal? I just asked him to do a competition test during the morning self-study class. I couldn't find any fault with his speed or thinking."
“I think they can definitely be compared to those students who won national awards.”
"This student has some hidden talent in mathematics, and he also found a competition teacher from the provincial capital for tutoring, so his grades improved very quickly."
After listening to Wang Qingtao's words, Sun Xuehai couldn't help but get excited.
Without much hesitation, he made the decision: "The school must naturally train such potential students well. I will find a way to solve the problem of competition materials and real questions. In addition, all expenses for this competition will be reimbursed." His efficiency was perfect.
After saying this, he added one more sentence out of some unknown idea.
"Also, if the student can make it to the provincial team, the school will give him an additional bonus."
"Thank you for the school's support. I will tell him when I get back." Wang Qingtao stood up and answered excitedly.
After getting the result he wanted, he didn't stay with Sun Xuehai for too long.
But when he opened the door of the principal's office and was about to leave, he happened to meet a familiar figure.
"Teacher Li?"
"I'm here to ask Principal Sun something." Li Yan glanced at Wang Qingtao and said calmly.
"The principal is inside. I'll go over first."
Wang Qingtao didn't exchange much, just nodded and said something polite, then walked towards the teaching building.
He wanted to tell Xu Yuan about Sun Xuehai's promise as soon as possible so that he could prepare for the league with peace of mind.
However, he did not notice that Li Yan did not go into the principal's office after he left. Instead, she murmured to herself in confusion.
"Teacher Wang, what's going on? You said you would let Xu Yuan realize the difficulty of the league and give up, but now why is he asking the principal to get competition information?"
Apparently she heard some of the conversation between Wang Qingtao and the principal.
After a slight hesitation, she turned around and chased after Wang Qingtao, wanting to get to the bottom of things.
