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

"It didn't go very well, because they couldn't find my information at all."

Zhang Chao couldn't help but complain to himself, but to be honest, this kind of behavior of secretly doing big things behind others' backs was kind of exciting.

"I feel that overall it's pretty good. The teachers are all very dedicated, and there are no problems."

Zhang Chao was not on guard at all, and was even quite relaxed.

Secretary Sun: "Yes, you're right. The school has been emphasizing this aspect. Teacher Zhang signed the commitment letter issued at the teachers' ethics and conduct conference a few days ago, right?"

Zhang Chao: "Yes, they've all been signed."

Secretary Sun: "Yes, the school regularly organizes teachers to study and observe this kind of content, and it's also mentioned in the weekly meetings. Teacher Zhang has been attending as usual, right?"

That's a very clever question.

The verification process was recorded, and the recordings were also uploaded when the results were reported to higher authorities.

Adding this sentence would indicate that the school regularly conducts activities related to teachers' ethics and conduct.

But the key is not to conduct them regularly, but to let the higher authorities know that the school regularly conducts activities on teachers' ethics and conduct.

This shows that the school takes this matter very seriously, so if the teacher makes a mistake, it is the teacher's personal behavior.

This is the method to gradually reduce the impact of things.

This is critical.

Zhang Chao: "I attended all the meetings as usual, and I took notes of the meeting content."

Secretary Sun: "Okay, so how do you feel about your adherence to professional ethics and conduct as a teacher? Is there anything you need to reflect on or improve?"

Zhang Chao's expression remained unchanged as he looked frankly at Secretary Sun. "I think I've done a decent job. I haven't violated any rules. Occasionally, in order to improve students' grades, I've been a bit strict with them. I'm reflecting on that and am also revising my teaching plan."

This is a very skillful response. It avoids mentioning major mistakes and focuses on minor ones, while also adding the phrase "I am reflecting on my mistakes."

This will leave people with an impression of sincerity and self-reflection.

After all, it's normal for teachers to be strict.

Secretary Sun: "Okay, as you know, the school sometimes receives complaints from parents, and we need to understand them."

Zhang Chao: "Of course, of course."

Secretary Sun glanced at him indifferently and said, "Teacher Zhang, the school has been reported by parents for having some teachers conduct extracurricular tutoring activities with students on weekends or during their free time."

Zhang Chao looked surprised. "Is that so?"

Secretary Sun nodded, observed Zhang Chao's reaction, and continued, "I'm not sure if this information is relevant to you, but you are a key teacher in the school and the head teacher of the gold medal class."

I'd like to ask you, what are your usual weekend plans? Have any students or parents contacted you privately?

Zhang Chao chuckled, "No, I'm basically at home on weekends. No students would come to me. Even though weekends are for rest, I still have to make arrangements for my teaching at home. I'm never idle."

Some students did ask questions online, but that doesn't count as tutoring, right?

Zhang Chao's tone was even more playful when he said the last sentence.

Secretary Sun chuckled softly, "Online Q&A certainly doesn't count. Is it possible that, quite by chance, a parent comes to you saying their child's grades aren't improving and they'd like your help with guidance, perhaps once or twice? Or maybe they asked once but nothing came of it?"

Zhang Chao shook his head again, "No, no, really no."

Isn't this a classic case of bluffing? We definitely can't admit it!

Secretary Sun: "Teacher Zhang, I asked this because we have indeed received some feedback from parents saying that some extracurricular tutoring matters are related to you."

I'm not saying you did it, but since this news has surfaced, I feel it's necessary to verify it with you.

Zhang Chao looked displeased. "Secretary Sun, I know that verification is your job, but you can't wrong an ordinary teacher like me."

Secretary Sun spoke calmly, "Don't talk nonsense. We're not accusing you; we're just asking questions as usual."

Zhang Chao pursed his lips. "That's fine, that's fine, but you've asked the wrong person. I don't have the ability to tutor. I have to walk to work, and look, I stepped in a puddle this morning and my shoes got wet. If I had tutoring, wouldn't it be better to just get an electric scooter?"

As he said this, he even had an urge to stand up and show his shoes.

Secretary Sun's expression was serious. "Teacher Zhang, please sit down. You are a math teacher at a top-tier high school and have taught top-performing classes. Parents trust you a lot."

Zhang Chao let out a long sigh of relief. "Whether you're a teacher at a top-tier high school or a regular high school, you're still a teacher, and you all have to teach your students well. Parents trust us, and I can't let them down. Secretary Sun, I have that much awareness."

"If we're really talking about the gold medal class, then Teacher Shao and Teacher Zheng's teaching level is even higher. I'm no match for them."

Secretary Sun glanced at the evidence in his hand and felt an urge to laugh. "Yes, we really can't let the parents down."

He wanted to see just how far Zhang Chao could go.

Of course, what you ask is more truthful than what you say yourself.

Hearing that he had been praised, Zhang Chao became even bolder. "I know that the grades of the top class I teach have dropped, and the parents may be a little dissatisfied, which I understand; it's also normal for some teachers to want to see me make a fool of myself. So I will reflect on myself more deeply and make better teaching plans."

"The school and parents have entrusted me with this group of students; how can I let them down?"

"Especially since I've always been very principled, and therefore known for my strictness, some people don't understand, sigh... that's normal."

Secretary Sun narrowed his eyes. This was a stubborn denial, and he was quite good at putting on a good show.

He exchanged a glance with Committee Member Wu, who was in charge of asking supplementary questions, and when he looked at Zhang Chao again, his expression turned colder.

"Okay, Teacher Zhang, I have a question for you. Have you been to Jinhua Residential Area recently?"

Zhang Chao's heart skipped a beat. Jinhua Residential Area—wasn't that where he tutored his students?

It's a coincidence, it must be a coincidence!

Zhang Chao frowned. "Jinhua Residential Area? I've never been there."

As he said this, he subconsciously wiped the sweat from his palms on his pants.

Secretary Sun: "Someone reported that they saw you gathered with several students and parents in Jinhua Community."

Zhang Chao's heart pounded, but he still forced himself to remain calm and said, "Ah, I remember now, I was going to a friend's house and happened to run into some students and parents."

To obtain evidence, one must have access to the community's surveillance footage, but schools do not have the right to access such footage.

If Secretary Sun really produces evidence, then that would be a violation of the law!

Secretary Sun's expression remained unchanged. "Visiting friends? Every week?"

Zhang Chao forced a smile. "It's a coincidence. I only have weekends off."

Committee Member Wu took out a copy of a bank transfer screenshot from the folder and pushed it over.

"Teacher Zhang, this is a screenshot of the transfer record provided by the parent. You are the recipient, right?"
