I was reborn without dreams

Chapter 20 Zhang Zhengdong is a good comrade
Recently, Uncle Zhang has been still deeply immersed in love and has already reached an agreement with Teacher Li Jiawen. They will have an engagement banquet on August 1st, which is called "Success Banquet" in Shazhou City, and then take some time during the October 1st holiday to hold a wedding banquet.

The fortune teller they hired was none other than his nephew, Zhang Da'an.

We'll have a "success meal" in the countryside on August 1st. Uncle Zhang has been a soldier for so many years, so it's perfectly reasonable for him to celebrate on "Army Day".

It would be even more reasonable for the whole country to celebrate on October 1st.

My dear nephew is very accurate in his calculations; his birth chart is excellent.

However, while he has had a great harvest in love, his career is somewhat entangled.

Although the recent dispute within the bureau has come to an end and Principal Zhang has become a "rising star," given the considerable profits he has handed over, there are still many problems, especially with competitors in their prime who are feeling the pressure. So, as soon as Labor Day was over, they began to intensify the training at Dongweigang Middle School.

The reasons are also quite valid. Dongweigang Middle School has always had a small number of students, dilapidated teaching facilities, and a weak teaching staff. In order to optimize the distribution of educational resources in the city, Dongweigang Middle School should be closed down as soon as possible and its teachers and students should be relocated to the Binjiang area.

This issue wasn't brought up this year; it's been discussed for many years.

Furthermore, according to the bureau's schedule, this year should be the last year for the senior high school section of Dongweigang Middle School.

Starting next year, Dongweigang Middle School will no longer have a Grade 11 program and will no longer enroll students.

There's nothing wrong with this, because many traditional rural middle schools have already closed their senior high school sections. Take Wugang Middle School, where Zhang Da'an used to study, for example. Two years ago, the senior high school stopped enrolling students, and this year's graduating class is the last one to take the college entrance examination.

Dongweigang Middle School was the last to be completed. The reason wasn't because Uncle Zhang had a lot of influence. In fact, it was the same as what those guys who submitted the report mentioned: the number of students enrolled was always small, the teaching facilities were dilapidated, and the teaching staff was weak.

Society values ​​fairness, especially in education. Even if some people are more equitable, it doesn't change the fact that "no one should be left behind." Otherwise, Project Hope wouldn't exist, and there wouldn't even be a college entrance examination.

The reason why Dongweigang Middle School was among the last to close its senior high school section was to take care of families in rural areas along the river. Otherwise, given the already underdeveloped transportation conditions, it would be unrealistic to expect all rural children to travel more than ten or even twenty kilometers to get to middle school.

Furthermore, even though the school provides subsidies for accommodation and meals, you still have to pay some extra money in the end.

A half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home. A few years ago, the salary was less than four hundred yuan, and a hundred or two hundred yuan was common. A laborer could only earn thirty yuan a day. Even if you worked yourself to death, you wouldn't have much money to feed your child at school, let alone find a place to stay and pay for it.

Therefore, the existence of rural middle schools, from the very beginning, was for the sake of fairness, fairness in the right to education.

However, times are changing, infrastructure is improving, and the scale of basic education is expanding, so optimizing the allocation of educational resources is a reasonable thing to do.

At least in 4696, rural children in Shazhou City can afford to own their own bicycle, regardless of whether it's new, old, beautiful, or ugly.

This is proof of the improved economic level and demonstrates that the times are indeed developing.

The closure of rural middle schools and even primary schools is indeed in line with the trend of the times, it's just a matter of time.

The concept of "village primary schools" will inevitably be the first to disappear from areas with higher economic levels.

In this era of change, Zhang Zhengdong, the country bumpkin principal of Wuxing Village, has no right to bark even if he wants to argue his case.

So Principal Zhang, feeling dejected, went to talk to his eldest nephew, hoping to offer some comfort. Just as the ancients had "Duke Zhou interpreting dreams," today we have "Zhang Sheng firing his cannon"...

Zhang Da'an immediately gave his uncle a good idea: "Uncle, what are you worried about? It's a good thing that Dongweigang Middle School is being closed down! Here's what you should do: tell your superior that you have strong opinions and that you should take the initiative to request that Dongweigang Middle School be closed down and then merged into Binjiang Middle School, Taizigang Middle School, and other surrounding middle schools. It needs to be done quickly, within a week, so that the organization can see your loyalty."

"Huh?! If I were crazy, I'd shut down the school. What kind of crazy idea is this? If the school's gone, where am I supposed to be the principal?"

"Uncle, with your intelligence, being a principal is a waste of your talent. The education industry is a blue ocean right now, it's the perfect time for you to shine. Especially since there are very few people in the Education Bureau with experience in this field, all they know is how to resell equipment and supplies at the guidance center, making only dead money. You're different, who are you? You're the uncle of the owner of 'Zhang An Education,' and you've nurtured a top scorer in the 4695 Wudu City middle school entrance exam! How old are you? Such an outstanding comrade, how can the organization turn a blind eye and a deaf ear?"

"Y-really?"

Uncle Zhang, still a little dazed, suddenly perked up. His nephew was absolutely right; he was indeed an excellent comrade who could withstand any test.

Then Uncle Zhang actually went to the city and submitted a report. His fluent and elegant writing expressed his full support for the development of education in our city.

loyalty!

The guys who had previously annoyed Zhang Zhengdong never expected this to happen, thinking it was a strategic retreat.

That won't do. Dongweigang Middle School is gone. What are you going to do with your money?

You've lost the platform to achieve your goals, so what's the point of performing?

Is he truly loyal to the organization?
Zhang Zhengdong is indeed a fool.

When Zhao Yonggao, the principal of Wugang Middle School, heard about it, he was overjoyed and said, "You little brat, you deserved to poach my top scorer in the high school entrance exam!"
Originally, Uncle Zhang's "backer" wanted to say a few words of advice to him, but Uncle Zhang was very firm: I can't be an exception; I have to cooperate with the city's overall educational planning policy.

loyalty!

With the main entity in such a sorry state, what else is there to say? With the full cooperation of all parties, a notice was issued at the end of May, which basically announced the timetable for the "disintegration" of Dongweigang Middle School.

There was no excitement, no celebration, and of course, no regret.

There are no outstanding alumni of Dongweigang Middle School complaining about their misdeeds. This lousy school has harmed countless teenagers in the past. It's already a miracle that the school wasn't burned down.

You'd better die sooner rather than later.

Anyway, everything is so peaceful. This summer, people are looking forward to the launch of the first unmanned experimental spacecraft in the manned space program. Of course, the most exciting thing this year should be the return of Xiangshan'ao on December 20th.

The song "Seven Sons" can now be heard frequently on the streets of Shazhou City.

On June 7th, Zhang Da'an gave 150 trainees a three-day holiday.

As for the reason, it's quite simple: Zhang Da'an, the head teacher of the "Top Scholar Accompanying Class," is going to take the college entrance examination today.
