I was reborn without dreams

Chapter 17 Influence Diffusion
When Dongweigang Middle School started its winter break, "Zhang An Education" had not yet officially started its break and would be delayed for another week, mainly to show parents its capabilities.

In addition to the final exams organized by "Zhang An Education" itself, they also obtained the final exam papers for the third year of junior high school from the three best junior high schools in Shazhou City.

The exam results of "Zhang An Education" are based on internal rankings, while the papers from the three junior high schools are compared horizontally.

The results were astonishing. Out of 150 students, the top 109 were able to enter the top 50 of other schools, which basically guaranteed that they would not only be able to enter provincial key high schools, but many of them would also be able to get close to the threshold of national key high schools.

The remaining 41 students can also get into the top 150 of other schools, and they are absolutely guaranteed to get into a regular high school.

This result was quite remarkable and gratifying, so Zhang Da'an held a parent-teacher meeting. The large classroom was air-conditioned and not cold at all. The parents were very satisfied with the current results and were all happy during the parent-teacher meeting.

"There are two main points I want to make at this parent-teacher meeting today. First, the final exam results must be kept secret. Parents, please don't brag about it when you visit relatives during the Chinese New Year, as it will put pressure on the students. Second, the students will return to school on the tenth day of the first lunar month to begin intensive training, at the same frequency as usual. Once the spring unified exams are over, we will begin preparing for the high school entrance exam in June."

Zhang Da'an usually dresses casually for class, wearing jeans, a jacket, and sneakers. Because he is tall and strong, it is easy to forget that he is only ten years old.

At this point, "Zhang An Education" is basically on the right track and is about to reap the final fruits of victory, and its temperament has become more like the "boss flavor" that local bosses are familiar with.

"Can't I say anything at all, Teacher Zhang?"

"It's best not to say this. This is just a suggestion. The main reason is that the pressure is even greater for repeat students, especially those who repeat the middle school entrance exam, than for those who repeat the college entrance exam. After all, they are older. When your parents were their age, they were already established in their own families and making a living. But times are changing, and a more tolerant environment is more conducive to improving test scores."

Zhang Da'an said with a smile, "I'm a professional in this field. I make a living from this, so I can't just make things up. Let's all work together and cooperate to achieve better results in the high school entrance exam."

"I definitely have no objection to that. I won't mention the boy's grades no matter what others say."

"Please rest assured, Teacher Zhang, we parents will definitely cooperate fully and listen to your instructions."

……

The persuasiveness of this final exam lies in the fact that Zhang Da'an had no way of knowing in advance what other middle schools were testing; he only received the papers after the other schools had finished their exams.

"Zhang An Education" organized three exams here, and the score rankings of the other three schools have already been released. The 150 students have no idea where the exam papers came from.

Parents are well-informed and can verify the truth in no time, which is why they are so excited and thrilled when the results are released.

They even can't wait to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year so they can proudly show off their children's academic progress.

Now Zhang Da'an is advising against it, and although I'm somewhat reluctant, I still stand by what I said: Teacher Zhang's track record is verifiable; he's a professional.

Teacher Zhang Da'an is not only a highly skilled teacher, but also a top student in exam preparation. You can't deny it. If you don't believe him, your child's mental state will collapse... and who will be responsible?

However, as the saying goes, nothing stays hidden forever. Some rumors inevitably got out. Parents didn't take their children to relatives' houses to show off during the New Year and get envious glances, but that didn't stop them from bragging at the dinner table.

As the saying goes, what is said without intention may be taken to heart by the listener. On the tenth day of the first lunar month, when the "Top Scholar Tutoring Class" continued to operate, several junior high school teachers in Shazhou City contacted Zhang Zhengdong to inquire about part-time opportunities at "Zhang An Education." The requirements were not high; if they couldn't be subject teachers, working as part-time teaching assistants was also acceptable.

Most of them are young teachers who are not only enthusiastic about earning extra money through part-time jobs, but also feel comfortable doing so.

The main problem is that teachers' salaries are really not enough. It's okay in the city, but the middle schools in the surrounding towns are in a terrible state. Some full-time undergraduate students who went to teacher training colleges only earn five or six hundred yuan a month when they go to middle schools in towns, and seven hundred yuan a month if they are lucky.

Unless the family runs a business and the child becomes a teacher simply to keep them occupied, for an ordinary family, having an additional income earner is better than nothing.

It's hard enough to even get some household expenses, and I don't even have the courage to ride a motorcycle to and from work, so how can I even think about having a relationship?

If you want to open your own tutoring center or work as a part-time private tutor, it's all for naught if you don't have experience. Parents only care about professional titles and experience, plus a little bit of word-of-mouth reputation.

Of course, if you graduated from a prestigious university, that's also possible.

However, on the other hand, graduates from prestigious universities would never consider such a question.

What makes Zhang Da'an so impressive is that his achievements can silence all those who doubt him. There is only one top scorer in the Wudu City middle school entrance examination each year, and Zhang Da'an is the only one who can score several tens of points higher than the runner-up.

Far ahead!

The chances of anyone else replicating Zhang Da'an's situation are virtually zero.

In fact, the internal dispute within the Education Bureau was resolved in January. The slogan of Dongweigang Middle School, "Responding to the national call to revitalize rural education," was transformed from a slogan into a frontline example of grassroots education in Shazhou City.

The specific personnel adjustments involved not only extending Zhang Zhengdong's "backer" to another two years, but also conducting an assessment of Zhang Zhengdong himself.

To help Uncle Zhang, Zhang Da'an planned to quickly give him some boosts. In addition to completing his correspondence undergraduate degree, he also planned to help Uncle Zhang master at least one foreign language for spoken communication within six months.

This caused Uncle Zhang, who was dating Li Jiawen, great distress, but he couldn't resist. He had no choice but to train his spoken English every day with the foreign language teacher hired by his good nephew.

Currently, the focus is on Japanese oral training, supplemented by English oral training. All of this is in preparation for the future opening of vocational skills training classes at "Zhang An Education".

This area is equivalent to the "tertiary industry" of Dongweigang Middle School, laying the groundwork for the spread of the "education industrialization" policy in advance. Especially with the comprehensive reduction of guaranteed job placement for college graduates this year, coupled with the expansion of university enrollment, the general direction will not change.

Shazhou City is also preparing for the industrialization and corporatization of its municipal schools. However, at present, the city's finances are mainly invested in industrialization and infrastructure, with little emphasis on education. Therefore, before Zhang Da'an's rebirth, the establishment of various education groups by Shazhou City's municipal schools will be a matter of ten years from now.

Looking at the present, if Uncle Zhang could "raise funds on his own and work hard," he could eventually significantly improve the Education Bureau's financial situation...

The thought of that scene is quite interesting.
