Chapter 111 Teacher Wen’s Reward
Although grades are not the only criterion for judging students, in school, grades are still the basis for most of the time.
If you do well in the exam, you will naturally get good treatment.
Even the teachers of various subjects who were usually old-fashioned, serious and boring, had smiles on their faces and their tone was much gentler than before when they walked into Class 2 to review the test papers.
After all, not only does the overall average score of the students in Class 2 seem to be much higher than that of other classes, but the average score of each subject is also far ahead of other classes.
Fang Wei could imagine what the teachers would look like when they were teaching other classes. They would probably say angrily: "Look at your class's test results this time, and then look at the results of the second class next door. Where do you put your mind to it?!"
They don’t even compare with the previous class, they just compare directly with the second class next door!
During the afternoon class meeting, Wen Susu brought a bunch of things into the classroom.
"Fang Wei, this is our class's 'Honor Roll', please post it on the bulletin board at the back."
"it is good."
"'honor roll'?"
"From our own class?"
The other students were a little curious and swarmed to Fang Wei to look at the "honor roll" he had just posted.
It’s actually just a report card handwritten on red paper.
But unlike ordinary report cards, this report card that was posted for public display only contained the top 20 students in the class, including test scores as well as class and grade rankings.
As for why the twenty-two students behind were not included, it was probably because of Wen Susu’s gentleness.
Exam rankings are necessary, but publishing the rankings is relatively cautious. In order to protect the privacy and self-esteem of the students at the bottom of the class, Wen Susu did not publish the rankings of these students, but only wrote the rankings on the report cards given to each of them.
Nowadays, there are very few teachers who are as considerate as Wen Susu.
As expected, Fang Wei was ranked first in the class and also first in the grade.
Liu Zhiyi is ranked second in the class and second in the grade;
Xu Cailing was much more excited. She was ranked 15th in the class and 45th in the grade!
According to the fact that about 30% of the students at Baitan Middle School can be admitted to high school every year, ranking 45th in the grade is just close to the high school admission line!
Of course, this estimate is not accurate. After all, the subjects and scores of the high school entrance examination are different, and the ranking is also evaluated based on the situation in the entire city. However, this ranking still gave Xu Cailing great confidence and encouragement.
My sister had to work because she failed to get into high school because she was just a little bit short of the mark. If she can maintain this ranking, or improve a little bit, she will have a good chance of getting into high school!
In the past, she would be very satisfied if she could get into high school, but now it’s different. She wants to get into No. 1 Middle School! She wants to get into the best No. 1 Middle School!
The girl clenched her fists, her blood boiling. She needs to work harder!
When the bell rang, Wen Susu clapped her hands, and the students gathered in front of the "Honor Roll" returned to their seats one after another.
It was rare that Wen Susu wore a beautiful dress with bright colors today. With the smile on her face that lasted almost the whole day, she looked particularly festive.
Adaptive dressing? Teacher Wen!
"In this class meeting, we will mainly talk about the midterm exam."
"Everyone knows the results and rankings. Thank you for your joint efforts during this period. Our class's midterm exam results are very good! The average score is first in the grade!"
"Ting, ting, ting~ This is the red flag of the 'Model Class'. Starting this week, it will be hung in our class! It will remain there until the end of the semester!"
"I hope everyone will work hard in the final exams and strive to keep this red flag in our class for the next three years!"
[Pa pa pa——!]
There was warm applause in the class, especially from the students who had done well in the exam, they almost wanted to clap their hands until they were broken.
"I will briefly summarize our class's results this time--"
"There are five students in our class who are in the top ten of the grade. They are Fang Wei, who is first in the grade; Liu Zhiyi, who is second in the grade; Wang Yushan, who is fourth in the grade; Guo Yuanshun, who is sixth in the grade; and Qiu Caiyun, who is tenth in the grade."
"And there are a total of 16 students in our class who are in the top 50!..."
[Pa pa pa——!]
Applause started again.
No wonder Wen Susu was so happy. Among the top ten students in the grade, students from Class 2 occupied half of the seats, and among the top fifty students, they occupied nearly one-third of the seats.
In this midterm exam, the other three classes were more like foils to their class!
The reason why Class 2 performed so well in this exam is indeed due to Wen Susu's education and management, which, to a certain extent, stimulated the learning initiative of the students in the class.
After all, it is a remote small island middle school with scarce educational resources and uneven quality of students. To a large extent, if you want to get good grades, you still have to rely on the students' own consciousness and initiative.
It’s not that there are no students who did well in other classes, but the problem is that the deviation is too big. The good students did very well, while the poor students did terrible.
Compared with other classes, the performance of Class 2 is relatively average, and the proportion of students near the average is extremely high.
This is probably what Wen Susu wanted, an overall improving effect.
The group effect is a magical thing. Otherwise, why do so many schools have fast and slow classes? What they want is the atmosphere. A good atmosphere will produce wonderful reactions. As time goes by, the overall progress of the class will become more and more obvious.
After talking about the results, Wen Susu opened the big bag she had brought with her.
Last time she opened the bag, she took out a pile of envelopes. What new thing did Teacher Wen do this time?
Under the curious gazes of everyone, Wen Susu smiled and took out a stack of red envelopes, a stack of notebooks, and five pens.
“Deng Deng Deng~~~”
Teacher Wen is so cute and always likes to dub himself!
"Hey, this is a reward for students in our class who did well in the exam!"
"what?!"
“Send out red envelopes?!”
"Give out notebooks? Give out pens?!"
"Teacher, is this the school reward you mentioned last time?"
Wen Susu smiled, stretched out a slender white index finger, waved it left and right like a windshield wiper, and shook her head:
"No, the school's reward is the school's reward. This is our Class 2's own reward!"
She didn't say it explicitly, but everyone guessed that these were all rewards she bought with her own money.
Wow! What kind of god-like teacher is this? It’s ok that he teaches at a loss, but he also pays for the award out of his own pocket?!
"This isn't the first time, nor is it the only time! From now on, our class 2 will have learning rewards for each midterm and final exam!"
"The awards include the Outstanding Student Award, which is given to the top ten students in the class. There are also Academic Progress Awards, which are given to students who have improved by more than ten places compared to the last exam!"
"The first place student will be rewarded 100 yuan!"
"Wow wow!!"
"The second place student will be awarded 50 yuan! The third to fifth place students will be awarded 30 yuan! The sixth to tenth place students will be awarded 20 yuan! The academic progress award will be 20 yuan for each student! The awards can be stacked!!"
"Wow wow wow!!"
Just hearing these numbers, the boys and girls were excited.
You have to know that the average salary these days is only five or six hundred yuan. Even if you can’t even think about being in the top five, the top ten and the academic progress awards will all be twenty yuan!
That’s twenty yuan! For them at this age, it’s a huge sum of money! [Pa pa pa——!]
The class suddenly became lively, and everyone wanted to clap their feet together until they were broken!
"Well, the award ceremony begins now!"
"First place goes to our class monitor, Fang Wei. Please come up to the stage to receive your award!"
[Pa pa pa——!]
Amid the applause, Fang Wei stood up happily and walked to the podium.
Wen Susu took out his first-place red envelope, as well as an exquisite pen and a brand new notebook, and handed them to him.
Fang Wei took it with both hands and said loudly: "Thank you, Teacher Wen~!"
Just as he was about to go down, Wen Susu grabbed him and said, "You're going to run away after receiving the award? Come on, share your learning experience with everyone!"
"Be bold, careful, calm, confident, and cool-headed. Set good learning goals, plan a good study plan, follow Mr. Wen's footsteps, and listen carefully to Mr. Wen's teachings, and good grades will come naturally."
“Please give more details!!”
"..."
Fang Wei had no choice but to share his thoughts for another ten minutes before Wen Susu was satisfied and let him go.
After returning to his seat, Fang Wei finally had time to look at his prize.
As the first place, his red envelope contained a full one hundred yuan.
On the red envelope, there is a handwritten message from Wen Susu: [Study Progress]
Looking at the fountain pen in my hand, I estimate it to cost about 20 or 30 yuan. It feels slightly heavy, and the varnish on the pen is shiny.
This brand new notebook is also quite thick, with a very tough cover. On the title page is her handwritten message: [November 2000, 11: May every page record progress and joy - from Teacher Wen]
It’s really a very thoughtful and generous prize!
It is not only practical, but also has great commemorative value.
Think about what kind of special feeling you will have when you pick up this pen and open this notebook many years later?
I'm afraid I will never forget this teacher in my life.
Just like when the papers were distributed, Fang Wei had just received the prize when the students around him took his pen and notes to look at them, with envy on their faces!
Liu Zhiyi also wanted to watch, but after a while, Wen Susu on the podium summarized the learning experience that Fang Wei had just shared, and then called out her name again.
"Second place goes to Liu Zhiyi. Congratulations, Zhiyi. Come on stage and receive your award!"
[Pa pa pa——!]
Amidst the warm applause, Fang Wei stood up and made way for him. Liu Zhiyi in the corner stood up, looking cold and expressionless, but her cheeks were red.
The girl walked out from Fang Wei's side, seemingly calm and elegant, but in fact her mind was blank.
Amid the warm applause and envious gazes of the crowd, she also stretched out her hands and took her prize - a red envelope of 50 yuan, as well as the same notebook and pen as Fang Wei.
"Thank you, Mr. Wen."
"Zhiyi did very well in the exam this time! Keep up the good work next time!"
"Uh-huh!"
Liu Zhiyi was terrified. She was mainly afraid that Teacher Wen would ask her to share her experience just like he had asked Fang Wei to share her learning experience just now...
She really didn't know what to say! She couldn't just say that she was just learning and it became like this, right?
Fortunately, Wen Susu did not ask her to share her experience. Liu Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief. After receiving the award, she hurried back to her seat. Only after she sat down in the corner did she become happy. She gently swung her little white shoes under the table and looked at the prize in her hand like a treasure.
"Teacher Wen is so good..." Liu Zhiyi sighed.
"Indeed, but why didn't Teacher Wen ask you to share your experience? I still want to hear it." Fang Wei said unconvinced.
"Humph……"
Seeing his frustrated look, Liu Zhiyi became even happier.
Well, he was the only one who needed to do anything when receiving the award as the class monitor and first place winner. The students who went on stage later just had to receive the awards.
But when he thought about the 100 yuan red envelope he would receive, Fang Wei still felt that the job was worth it!
The top five students, in addition to receiving different amounts of red envelope rewards, also received notebooks and pens;
The other students who received awards did not receive pens, but only red envelopes and notebooks.
After awarding the top ten students, the next step is the 'Academic Progress Award'!
Xu Cailing became nervous, quietly sat up straight, and subconsciously glanced in Fang Wei's direction.
As if they had telepathic connection, Fang Wei also looked at her and gave her a thumbs up from a distance.
"The teacher can see that many students have worked very hard in this midterm exam. Maybe they didn't do well in the exam, but it doesn't matter. As long as there is progress, it's a good thing!"
"Therefore, I have specially set up this academic progress award. Every student has the opportunity to get it, so you must work hard!"
"Student Du Peipei, you have improved by ten places in this exam compared to your admission score. You are now ranked tenth in our class. This is a huge improvement! Congratulations, Peipei. Come on stage and receive your award~!"
Du Pepe, who had just gone on stage to receive the top ten prizes, went on stage again to receive the "Learning Progress Award". Because the "Learning Progress Award" can be accumulated, Pepe also became the big winner, receiving two prizes by himself.
Just like the tenth prize, the academic progress award is a 20-yuan red envelope plus a notebook.
Pepe, who is usually calm, felt a little embarrassed after receiving two prizes at once.
Originally, according to her admission transcript, Liu Zhiyi would have been able to receive two prizes, after all, her admission score was the last.
But considering that it was not a normal situation, and for the sake of fairness, Wen Susu did not give her an additional academic progress award. Only students who have made great progress in the rankings can receive it.
Then, Wen Susu read out Xu Cailing's name.
"Student Xu Cailing, you have improved by eleven places in this exam compared to your admission score. You are now ranked fifteenth in our class. This is also a huge improvement. Moreover, Cailing is also the sports committee member! She is a well-rounded person! Everyone should learn from Cailing! While paying attention to grades, you should also pay attention to physical exercise! Congratulations, Cailing, come on stage to receive the award~!"
[Pa pa pa——!]
Warm applause broke out in the class, and the other three members of the Pineapple Island Quartet wanted to clap their hands until they were broken.
Xu Cailing blushed, feeling both shy and excited. When she took the prize with both hands, her hands couldn't help but tremble with excitement!
She has never won any awards for her studies since she was a child!
The first time in a girl's life! Not only did she rank 15th in her class and 45th in her grade, she also received the exclusive "Academic Progress Award"!
"Thank you, Teacher Wen~!"
"Keep up the good work, Cailing, and strive to make further progress next time!"
"Uh-huh!!"
Holding her notebook and red envelope, Xu Cailing returned to her seat, feeling like she was dreaming.
According to the ranking of the test scores, Wen Susu awarded the Academic Progress Awards one by one.
Soon, they arrived at Asheng.
"Student Fang Yuansheng, you have improved by eleven places in this exam! Congratulations, Yuansheng, come on stage to receive your award!"
"hey-hey……"
Ah Sheng touched his head a little embarrassedly and ran up to the podium quickly. Facing the applause from the audience, he blushed.
"Congratulations Yuansheng, you can also share with everyone your experience of making such great progress this time!"
"what??"
A Sheng was dumbfounded. Why don’t they have to share, but I have to?
It’s not easy for me to go from the second to last place to the 30th place...!
