Chapter 14 Why do you want to drop out of school?

The classroom of Class 13 was similar to the one two days ago. There was no sound of reading aloud, but it was not too noisy either, thanks to the few empty seats in the back row. It was a poor class, and there were few troublemakers who could make the young teacher cry, so they were too embarrassed to say hello to others when they went out.

However, as the high school entrance examination was approaching, the school had a special communication with these parents. Such students simply submitted an "Application for Voluntary Waiver of the High School Entrance Examination", and both parties could happily stop hurting each other.

Qiao Yu originally wanted to apply for it actively, but unfortunately he didn't know there was such a thing before, so he didn't fall completely enough.

There were several mock exams in the second half of the semester. Although I did not answer the papers seriously and even slept during the exams, I still did not reach the hard withdrawal standard of the average total score of three mock exams not exceeding 200 points.

Qiao Yu always thought that he was not to blame, but that the test paper was too simple, the answer would automatically appear in his mind after a glance, and he would write the correct answer on it without paying attention.

Although he was naughty, he would only sleep in class most of the time and would never do boring things like talking back to the teacher. In addition, his total score was always over 300, so Qiao Yu was not among those who were advised to drop out.

To put it bluntly, if the students are not hopeless and cannot even get into a 3+2 five-year school, the school should not do this. It is too blatant and if there are a large number of complaints, the school will not be able to bear it.

But the school is also helpless.

Although the administrative departments above strictly prohibit schools from ranking students according to test scores, they require schools to be ranked according to students' test scores, forcing schools to rank teachers according to their scores.

In fact, it doesn't matter if all schools are honest, the higher management department has its own relatively scientific calculation formula. But the problem is that there are too many smart people in China. As long as one school starts to think about it and do something, other schools will have to bite the bullet and follow suit.

After all, the rankings are closely related to school teaching funds, bonuses, professional title promotions, and awards. Such a good policy has been turned into a prisoner's dilemma by a group of smart people.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Qiao Yu.

His cell phone was confiscated. Thinking that he had decided to take part in the math competition, he should be more serious about the high school entrance exam, so Qiao Yu took out his chemistry book.

Qiao Yu felt that he had no problem with the three main subjects of Chinese, math and English. History and Taoism were open-book exams, and physics was very simple, but chemistry required a little more memorization, so he had to hurry up and study.

Qiao Yu didn't know that Lan Jie was going to let him take a year off. In his opinion, although he only scored 18 points in geography and biology, it was impossible for him to get into an A-level school. But if he prepared a little more seriously, it wouldn't be a problem for him to get a total score above the B-level line of a general high school.

As for his overall quality evaluation, Qiao Yu felt that that was something Lan Jie needed to consider. After all, it was Teacher Lan who insisted that he participate in the Mathematical Olympiad.

"Qiao Yu, are you going to the Internet cafe tonight?"

As soon as I opened the book, my deskmate Zhou Shuang came over and asked a question.

This is a guy who likes to show off, likes to keep long hair, and doesn't like to wear school uniforms. These obvious characteristics make him a frequent visitor to make self-criticisms under the national flag on Mondays.

Qiao Yu glanced at this guy, then shook his head decisively: "No, I need to review."

"Review? Are you going to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination?" This sentence revealed that although this guy is not yet an adult, he is already a frequent visitor to various forums.

"Whether to take the postgraduate entrance exam is another matter. I'll first take Huaqing or Yanbei." Qiao Yu answered casually. This was a small goal that Lan Jie set for him, so he could answer with confidence.

"Pfft...brother, stop messing around. Listen to me and set your sights low. Ludong Lanxiang's excavator major has a 100% employment rate after graduation. It's our best choice. Come with me, I'll protect you!"

Qiao Yu glanced at Zhou Shuang and replied lazily, "It's said on the Internet that there are no girls on construction sites, so do you think there are any girls majoring in excavation at Ludong Lanxiang? Will Luo Shan go with you?"

This one sentence successfully stunned Zhou Shuang, and then he began to become visibly listless.

Qiao Yu was a little surprised, mainly because he didn't expect that this guy really seemed to plan to go directly to Ludong Lanxiang after graduation, but he didn't plan to say much.

Everyone has the power to choose their own future. Right or wrong is secondary. Just be responsible for your own life. Qiao Yu thinks it is unreasonable for a boy who has tasted the sweetness and bitterness of love in junior high school and has been drowned in the salty and wet sea water in the ocean of love to go to high school and college to taste more flavors.

After mumbling something, Zhou Shuang lost interest in talking to him. Just then, the class teacher came in and the class discipline finally improved. Regardless of whether they were willing or not, most of the students took out their books and pretended to read.

In Teacher Yuan's words, it was the last month and she didn't want to embarrass her classmates anymore, so as long as everyone didn't go too far and could save face, she would turn a blind eye to some minor violations.

But today, Teacher Yuan just stood at the door and looked towards Qiao Yu's position.

"Qiao Yu, come out for a moment."

When Teacher Yuan called out, almost everyone in the class focused their attention on Qiao Yu.

Many eyes were even filled with sympathy.

There's no way. I don't know about other classes, but in Class 13, if you are called by the head teacher alone, 99% of the time it will not be a good thing.

Let me put it this way, the children who are assigned to the worst class are not only bad at studying, but also have average family conditions.

As long as the parents have some ability, even if the grades are really the last in the school, they can stay in an ordinary class without anyone noticing, and it is nothing more than not being counted in the class ranking. So as long as the teacher is looking for it, it is really difficult for the children in this class to have any good things.

For Qiao Yu, the frustrating thing was that he was called out just when he had just entered the learning state.

"Did Teacher Lan from the high school department visit your home yesterday?" Teacher Yuan asked as soon as they went out.

Qiao Yu just felt a headache. He could see a strong gossip-seeking look on his teacher's face, the same look he had just seen on his mother's face yesterday.

"Ah."

"What did you say?"

"Let me go straight to his office after class at 4:30 this afternoon."

"Oh, so he didn't tell you about taking a leave of absence?"

"Take a leave of absence? Why?" Qiao Yu looked at the teacher opposite him suspiciously.

"You don't know yet? If you participate in the competition, the provincial competition will be in September. After the provincial competition, you have to wait until November to participate in the national competition. If you fail to get into high school in the middle school entrance examination next month, you will not be able to stay in school."

Qiao Yu was speechless for a long while before he said, "Well, I should be able to get into our school, right?"

This time it was Yuan Yuan who was speechless: "Your total score in the biology and geography exam was only 615! To get into our railway high school this year, I estimate you need at least points to be safe."

Qiao Yu nodded, and then calculated on the spot: "But I got full marks in physical education, which means I was only deducted 62 points. 700 minus 62 is 638. I still have 23 points of room for error, which is quite large."

When their eyes meet, if there is a third person present, it can be seen that both of them are in complicated moods.

Qiao Yu really didn’t think that the high school entrance exam was a difficult thing. Wouldn’t it be possible to answer those questions in the mock exam if one had a brain?

What Yuan Yuan was probably thinking was, is this something a child from a poor class has the right to say?
