Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 99

Not every student could adapt to the teaching rhythm of key classes.

Some students couldn’t keep up in the key classes. Once they enter the key classes, their grades plummet.

So every year, students from key classes fell into parallel classes.

Later, when the grades improved, the teacher would ask the students and their parents whether they would like to be promoted to the key class or stay in the parallel class. They all chose to stay in the parallel class.

And the kind of ranking posting could also allow students in the two key classes to clearly see their current ranking in the school. There were students from parallel classes chasing after them, who could pull them out of the key class at any time. The sense of urgency would urge them to study harder and make progress. Students in parallel classes would also see that their grades were getting closer and closer to those in key classes, giving them a goal to pursue.

If they worked harder, they would be able to enter the key classes.

And in every exam, some students in the parallel classes exceed the scores in the key classes, even entering the top 50 in the grade. Being in the top 10 in the grade was the most proud thing for the parallel class teachers.

That showed how proud Teacher Wang was when meeting other teachers after the last monthly exam.

For someone like Teacher Wang who loved to show off, if he had students in his class among the top ten but they were not publicly ranked on the bulletin board because of his class’s monthly exam results, it would be like walking in brocade at night and feeling as lonely as snow.

Jiang Ning actually had no pressure at all. She still followed her own pace every day, reading books, answering questions, writing manuscripts, and doing her own things calmly and methodically.

Because she was going to Shanghai again, she was unable to write a manuscript throughout the weekend, so she could only use these few days to write more for Wang Yong.

Sometimes she felt sorry for Wang Yong, the editor-in-chief, who came all the way from Guangzhou to Wucheng, a small county town, just to accompany her to an Internet cafe to write.

In fact, she had enough manuscripts. She wrote by hand every day, so she could send them by mail. But he stayed and even took care of things in life that were inconvenient for her to do.

Jiang Ning wanted to pay him a salary.

Because of the influence of the Nanshi and Shanghai markets on Wucheng, the Wuxia Magazine was particularly popular in Wucheng. The students of No. 1 High School were locked up in school every day and couldn’t get out. They didn’t feel deeply about it, but the surrounding schools, even primary school students, were discussing the Song Dynasty and guessing the murderer of the case.

“Ning Meng is so good at creating suspense.”

Someone from No. 1 High School secretly brought magazines to the dormitory, and everyone read them quietly in private.

Because Jiang Ning had the magazines, the first issue was placed in the dormitory and was seen by them. In addition, Wuxia sent her every issue, so Wuxia had simply become the spiritual food of room 610.

The girls from the room next door got to know that they had Wuxia magazines and came over to borrow them.

Many of the other stories were serialized before, and they could not see the beginning. Only Catcher in Song Dynasty was followed completely from the first issue, and it was the only one in this magazine with the female protagonist as the perspective. These girls waited for Jiang Ning’s latest magazine every week.

Because they borrowed the magazines from her, they also got closer to Jiang Ning and realized that she was not as much of a nerd as the rumors suggested. She only slept three hours a day because she read magazines with a flashlight under the quilt at night.

“I think she reads novels under the quilt,” a girl said with a smile because that was what they did now.

Reading one magazine a week did not affect their studies, but the number of magazines was limited. There were eight people in a dormitory, and each person had to finish it quickly before it was the next person’s turn to read. So, sometimes it was so exciting that they read it quietly from under the covers.

Everyone felt that they knew the truth.

Because of the common little secret, the girls in the class naturally spend more time studying after spending part of their time in reading the magazine. In the eyes of others, the girls in Class 3 were studying very hard.

So the boys couldn’t help but roll up their sleeves.

Teacher Wang was also satisfied when he noticed the students in the class were so motivated to learn. He slowly took a sip of the Pang Dahai (herbal drink) and went to show off to the class teachers of the two key classes.

Faced with Teacher Wang’s overt and covert showing off, the class teachers of the two key classes were not angry but said to him with a kind smile, “Mr. Wang, you are indeed an excellent teacher, and the students you teach are all outstanding.”

“By the way, Teacher Wang, if Jiang Ning in your class can keep her grades in the top ten of her grade, she will be able to join our class next semester.”

Teacher Wang, who was suddenly hit, felt as if his whole body was traumatized. He was holding the teacup as if he was about three feet away from them. “Don’t dream. I will not let her go when the arts and sciences are divided.”

Frequently changing classes and teachers was not beneficial to students. She had just adapted to the teaching rhythm and teaching methods of the teachers in the class. Suddenly changing classes and adapting to the new class and new teachers took time and energy, and in a high-intensity and fast-paced learning environment like key classes, it was easy for students to be valued by teachers because of their good grades in parallel classes. After arriving in key classes, they were not valued because there were classmates with better grades. Being so taken seriously, the psychological gap and the inability to adapt to the new environment and new rhythm may lead to a decline in performance. Once the performance had dropped, it was easy to fall into a vicious cycle and become more anxious.

Therefore, it was not recommended that students change classes frequently. However, many parents and students thought that key classes were better than parallel classes. If they enter a key class, they would have a greater chance of being admitted to a key university. Therefore, these parents, after learning that their children’s grades were better than those of some students in key classes, would come directly to the school and ask that their child get transferred to a key class.
