The intern taught a top-performing class, and the parents wanted to change the homeroom teacher.

When the parent on the other end of the phone heard that it was the school calling, and it was the director, they immediately became very alert.

"Hello, Director, what's wrong? Is my child not behaving well at school?" The parent's voice sounded a little uneasy.

Director Pan is quite familiar with communicating with parents, and they immediately started chatting.

"Mrs. Yu, don't be nervous. Your child hasn't misbehaved. This call isn't just for you; it's just to discuss academic matters and the teacher's teaching methods. We'll be calling other parents later, so please don't worry."

"Okay, okay." Hearing Director Pan say that, the parent on the other end of the phone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Director Pan continued, "Is Yu Yan keeping up with her studies lately?"

The parent sighed and said, "His grades dropped again in the last midterm. When asked, he says he can't learn it. What can we do?"

Director Pan remained expressionless, quickly jotting down notes in his notebook, and then asked, "Do you have a lot of homework after school tonight?"

Parent: "I don't know if this is too much, but she goes to bed quite late every day, almost midnight."

Director Pan frowned. "Midnight? So late?"

However, he didn't rush to conclusions. He played while writing, and his slow pace in solving problems would take up a lot of time.

Take notes in a small notebook.

Director Pan: "Okay, the child is working very hard, so don't put too much pressure on him. Where does the child go to play on weekends?"

Parent: "No, he studies at home by himself."

Director Pan: "Okay, getting more rest is good. Reading more books and exercising are more effective than short-term tutoring. By the way, I heard some children are getting extra tutoring from teachers at our school. Are you aware of this?"

Parent: "Extracurricular tutoring? I don't know anything about that."

Director Pan nodded slightly, jotted down some notes in his notebook, chatted for a few more minutes, and then hung up the phone.

Holding the phone in my left hand, I gently tapped the notebook with a ballpoint pen in my right.

The parent in charge of Yan's class answered without much problem, and the responses were not much different from those of the parents in the previous classes.

But something feels off. Is it just my imagination?

After thinking for a moment, Director Pan dialed the next parent's number.

……

I made four phone calls in a row, and the questions all revolved around the students' academic progress and weekend entertainment.

Director Pan asked a very clever question, inquiring about weekend entertainment and outings. If parents had such plans, they would most likely have answered directly.

For example, when parents of children in the previous classes asked this question, their answers were mostly that their children went out to play ball, video games, or computer games with others, or slept or watched TV.

His tone was either helpless or disappointed, as he poured out his grievances to Director Pan.

In short, there will be an accurate answer.

Because it was actually done.

In particular, most parents have a natural trust in school teachers and directors, and rarely hide anything from them.

If something isn't done, it's usually covered up with other vague or ambiguous things.

For example, studying.

Of course, some parents are quite straightforward and directly stated that they hired private tutors for their children on weekends or sent them to after-school tutoring institutions. This situation is unrelated to the current self-inspection work, since the teachers are not from their own school.

Several parents even proudly mentioned that their children were tutoring others, leaving Director Pan speechless.

What can you do? Being good at studying is just that easy.

After drinking too much water and going to the restroom, Director Pan continued making phone calls.

"Wu Bin...this one will do."

After two beeps, the call was connected.

"Hello, Ms. Wu Bin, I am Pan Hai, the grade director of the school. The school is conducting an anonymous survey and I would like to ask about your child's learning situation at home."

The voice on the other end of the phone was quite enthusiastic, "Oh, Director Pan, hello, hello, we're so familiar with each other, no need to be so polite."

Director Pan was taken aback. Familiar?

He glanced at the phone number, but didn't seem to recognize it.

"Mrs. Wu Bin, have we met before?" Director Pan asked cautiously, the other party's answer determining his next question.

Hearing this, the other person seemed quite displeased. "Director Pan, have you forgotten me so quickly? A while ago…!!"

Director Pan suddenly had a bad feeling.

Seeing that their reminders were ineffective, the parent spoke up directly: "Tsk, a few of us parents went to the school with Zhang Li to see you. We're still in your office. I was there two months ago when we replaced Teacher Lu. Have you forgotten?"

Director Pan suddenly felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck the top of his head, making his whole body tremble with fear.

Especially when keywords are triggered consecutively.

Zhang Li and I went to the school office to replace Teacher Lu.

Such powerful words; just hearing them is terrifying.

Director Pan swallowed hard. Was it too late to hang up now?

He hadn't forgotten that many of Zhang Li's group members possessed unique skills.

However, since it was over the phone, he couldn't identify whose voice it was, but the feeling of familiarity was very strong.

Director Pan put down his pen, took out his blood pressure medication from his pocket, swallowed it, and prepared for the battle.

"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten."

Parent: "I knew it! Director, how's my child doing at school?"

Director Pan: "Very good, very good."

Parent: "Sigh, it's a real shame that Teacher Lu isn't coming back to teach Class 7. I wish I hadn't transferred her in the first place."

Director Pan's temples throbbed, and he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

The parent continued, "By the way, Director, my child's grades have dropped so much in the midterms. Please take this seriously. We're all in the same school, you can't discriminate against us! Otherwise, you'll make things difficult for him. If all else fails, could you let my child go to Teacher Lu's class?"

Director Pan leaned back in his chair with a sense of relief and closed his eyes.

With just that one sentence, he already knew who the parent was.

On the day of the shift change, the parent who confronted him about whether he would make things difficult for the students.

It matches up!

The voices and tones match perfectly!

"Hey? Director Pan, are you listening? There's no sound on my end."

After a two-second silence, Director Pan spoke wearily, "I'm listening. I remember who you are."

Hearing that he had been remembered, the parent was quite pleased and replied, "I knew Director Pan wouldn't forget. What's the matter with your call?"

Director Pan just wanted to finish asking his questions and end the call quickly, so he hurriedly said, "It's like this, the school wants to know about the child's learning situation at home. Can they complete their homework independently?"

"He learns very quickly; he says he finishes all his homework at school," the parent said with pride.

"You wrote this during evening self-study, it's pretty good. So what are your plans for the weekend? Did you find an outside tutoring class?" Director Pan didn't even bother to pretend anymore and asked very directly.

However, the other party's reply the next second caused Director Pan's brain to completely shut down.

"It was too much trouble to find someone outside, and I couldn't trust them, so I went to the tutoring class run by my homeroom teacher, Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang said that his math was a bit weak and told him to take some extra lessons on the weekend, saying that he would definitely improve next time."

"As expected of a teacher at our school, they're so responsible!"
