Chapter 379 - 379: School Change
Shi Man became busier recently.
Yi Zheng was going to cause trouble for the Gu family after knowing about the election.
However, Shi Man did not agree with him. The best way to deal with someone like Gu Fan was to shut him up by demonstrating her strength. Using external pressure would only achieve the opposite effect.
Moreover, Shi Man also secretly learned that although Gu Fan looked a little annoying, he was actually a down-to-earth and willing Student Union cadre.
Shi Man still had a big heart for such a talent and was prepared to continue to use him after the election.
Yi Zheng could only stop interfering.
Shi Man’s competition this time was high-profile and the ability component was based on Gu Fan’s grade.
She asked Geng Hui to tutor her and teach her the knowledge for the next two years.
Geng Hui was dumbfounded when he found out. He stated plainly how much of a fantasy this matter was, but during the learning process, he discovered that Shi Man’s level of knowledge acquisition was incredibly extraordinary. She could remember all the knowledge points as long as he explained them slightly.
In just a few days, she had finished half of the courses.
The public election was set to be in a month. Shi Man had plenty of time to prepare for battle.
The academic and sports components were easy for her. Relatively speaking, the more difficult ones were her real political achievements.
Cassel Academy had been established for a long time, and many rules and regulations had been perfected. It was not easy to break or find loopholes.
Shi Man observed for a while and asked Su Tang and Bai Xue to help collect the students’ suggestions. Finally, she found something worth improving.
That was the attitude of the teachers of Cassel Academy towards their students.
Although every grade had been divided into various classes according to level, it was inevitable that there would be students who could not keep up with their studies in a class.
The teachers of the academy placed too much emphasis on academic results, so they ignored the uniqueness of each student and could not see everyone’s merits.
Shi Man had always thought that academic results were not the only measure of a student’s good or bad.
Many students mentioned in the suggestions that they had received unequal treatment in the class, but because of the pressure from their families, they did not dare to transfer to a class suitable for them, bringing immense psychological pressure to themselves.
Not only did their academic results not improve, but even what they were good at gradually became a burden.
Shi Man especially went to the Principal to give her opinion on this matter. After discussing it with the Principal in the office for the entire afternoon, she finally perfected the school’s rules and regulations in this aspect and redefined the scoring standards of the students and the teachers’ year-end bonus.
When the teacher of Class S, Hu Jing, heard that this matter was actually related to the bonus, she rushed into the Principal’s office angrily to reason.
The students outside did not know what method Shi Man had used to convince Hu Jing. They only knew that when Hu Jing returned to class again, she was surprisingly gentle to those students she usually looked down on.
Many students even said that the teachers were finally willing to listen to them patiently and especially gave them a chance to use their specialties.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the school slowly improved.
Shi Man was very satisfied with this change because only by displaying the students’ specialties could she choose truly talented people to use in the future.
Chen Wei benefited a lot from this change in policy. In the past, he was at the bottom of Class F. However, because of Shi Man’s reform, he displayed his talent in sports and was even lucky enough to be recommended by the school to the city to participate in long-distance running competitions.
Although his family was not very illustrious, they still valued family status.
In the past, his parents would never allow him to slack off in school. This indirectly led to him always bullying his classmates in school and secretly playing tricks because school would only become a shackle to him.
The more he wanted to resist, the more deviant he would be, causing him to eventually become a thorn in the eyes of the school’s management.
However, ever since this change, his parents had changed their attitude and began to seriously consider his talent in his field.
This time, he had won a good result by representing the school in the city competition. It lit up a bright path to his university life, which he had thought would be destined to be dark.
Shi Man’s actions won unanimous praise from the entire school.
Gu Fan saw all of this. Although he was anxious, he vaguely realized that Shi Man was different. Therefore, he looked forward to the confrontation between the two of them in the future.
Soon, it was time to agree on the ability and sports competition.
The principal specially gave all the students a chance to watch the competition on this day. Under the witness of the entire school, Shi Man sat at the head of the conference room and buried her head in answering questions that did not belong to her grade.
Geng Hui was nervous below the stage, and his palms were covered in a thin layer of sweat. However, when he thought of Shi Man’s previous test results, he pretended to be calm and swallowed his saliva as he secretly cheering her on..
