FSC [QT] Chapter 75.5

“Yes.”

The female teacher knitting a sweater answered without hesitation: “But arithmetic classes don’t have to be held every day. How many of these children can go to junior high school? It’s better to teach them how to farm than to teach them arithmetic.”

“Teacher Ye, you just came and don’t know the situation. In fact, except for the primary schools in the county, all commune schools are like this. Even the primary schools in the county will arrange for students to come here to pick wheat ears every autumn harvest.”

The female teacher didn’t think much of it, and the students in the school seemed to have gotten used to this kind of life.

When they heard that there would be no classes, some children grinned and ran to the fields, digging the soil and having fun.

Other teachers had become accustomed to such scenes. They all thought that since these children were destined to work in the fields in the future, why couldn’t they start to adapt to the life of farming earlier?

What’s more, those who were teaching in the commune primary schools now might not have the ability to teach. Many of them were just because of their powerful family background.

For example, this female teacher who knitted wool, the commune secretary was her uncle.

As for the principal of the primary school, his cousin was a driver for the county party committee leaders. His education level was only a junior high school. He was already the highest educated person in the whole school.

The other two teachers were no exception.

Ah Wu suddenly found that except for her, the new teacher, everyone in this school seemed to be very satisfied with the current teaching model and did not intend to change it.

No, there were a few exceptions.

***

In this casual school, Ah Wu could be a Chinese teacher and an arithmetic teacher, and occasionally, she could also serve as a teacher of geography and science.

Although the teaching staff of the commune primary school was unreliable, it received a lot of textbooks from the Ministry of Education every year.

In addition to these courses, there were also textbooks such as “Common Sense of Accounting” and “Common Sense of Agriculture”.

To some extent, the teachers of the commune primary school were not idle. At least, they taught the course “Common Sense of Agriculture” very seriously.

They not only taught theory, but they also arranged practice. The bumper harvests in the private plots every year were the best proof of this.

Ah Wu felt that she must have received a good education before.

Obviously, the content of elementary school in ‘Ye Wu’’s memory was already vague, but when flipping through these textbooks, Ah Wu’s mind would emerge with the corresponding answers.

There were even many expanded contents that did not exist in the primary school textbooks as if she was born with these things.

This was not the first time that Ye Wu had this feeling.

It was just like when she was cooking, she would always subconsciously think that it would be better if this dish could be added with some fermented black beans and that dish would be better if it could be added with some white pepper.

However, in Ye Wu’s memory, these two seasonings did not exist at all.

Ah Wu also asked her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, but they had never heard of anything with such things.

Ah Wu did not dwell on her origins, but she was happy because of the things she was born with.

For her, being familiar with the primary school textbooks meant that she was qualified for this job.

Ah Wu was still a little bit serious. Since she chose to be a teacher in the commune and received this salary every month, she wanted to do this job well.

As a result, Ah Wu became the only teacher in the school who prepared her own lesson plans and taught seriously.
