Private school teachers were extremely efficient. The exams were over last Thursday and Friday, and after a weekend, the answer sheets already could be distributed on Monday.
The first class was math class.
The math teacher was a middle-aged man, with a round face and a slightly high hairline. He was in danger of going bald. He always wore a lapel shirt and dark pants, and his fat belly was tight with a belt.
He looked quite amiable, but in fact, students privately called him ‘Li Baopi’.
Because he had a particularly fatal operation.
After each exam, he would announce the scores of each student when handing out the test papers. He would announce the scores of those with high scores and the scores of those with low scores in public.
If someone only scored 20 or 30 points, then it would be a disaster. Not only would he announce it once, but he would also display the person’s test paper in a circle in the classroom.
This approach disgusted many students and hurt their self-esteem, but Li Baopi was really capable. The average math scores of the students he taught were much higher than those in other classes and were the highest among non-elite classes.
So even if parents came to complain, the school would at most give suggestions, suggesting that their children be transferred to other classes. However, no parent had actually transferred their child to another class so far.
Li Zuocong walked into the classroom as the bell rang. When the students saw the graded test papers in his hands, they immediately groaned.
Teacher Li smiled like Maitreya Buddha, “Students, we had the second monthly exam last week, and the results have come out. I believe everyone feels that this exam is a little more difficult than the last one.”
“More than a little!”
“It’s simply not something a human could do.”
“Yes, Teacher, look at me. I’m bald from doing the questions.”
These meaningful words caused a small burst of laughter in the classroom.
Li Zuocong smiled as he watched them making noise. When they all quieted down, he said, “It is somewhat difficult, but it is within a reasonable range. If it is really that difficult, how did others get more than 140 points?”
Someone else shouted.
“Teacher, you can’t compare us with the elite class.”
“That’s right. They are top students, and we are all poor students. We can’t compare.”
“Who said it was the elite class? I was talking about the students in our class.” Li Zuocong said with a smile.
“Our class?”
The classroom suddenly became noisy.
“Impossible!”
“Teacher, are you too greedy for the results of the elite class and misread the scores?”
“I think so too. Is there a genius in our class? How come I don’t know?”
Seeing that the buzz of discussion never stopped, Li Zuocong knocked on the podium table to make them quiet down.
“Okay, let me talk about the exam situation. The total score is 150 points. There are 12 students in our class with more than 90 points, which means there are still 17 people who failed. The average score is 89.7, which is just a little bit short of passing. Excluding the elite class, the average score of the grade is 81.3. Overall, the test is not good but not too bad. I hope you can continue to work hard.”
“Teacher, stop talking about this. It’s just a few points. Let’s talk about who got 140 points in our class.”
“That’s right. Let that great god come out and give us a lesson.”
Li Zuocong shook his head helplessly, put down the notebook in his hand where he recorded the data, picked up the top sheet of the test paper, and looked at it carefully.
Then, he said, “The test paper was corrected by all the teachers together. I just got it this morning. This student scored 141 points. She got the last multiple-choice question and the fill-in-the-blank question wrong, but she got all the following questions right. She even got the last small question right.”
“This small question was in the competition difficulty. Several students in the elite class also got it right, but their methods were not as simple as those of our classmates—”
The students below couldn’t stand it and shouted.
“Teacher, you said a lot. Who is she?”
“Don’t lay the groundwork. I admit that you have successfully attracted our attention. Please just tell us quickly!”
Li Zuocong smiled and then slowly said: “Who is Classmate Su Yi?”
All of a sudden, everyone turned their heads and turned their eyes to the corner by the window of the first group.
Su Yi sat there quietly, looking back at everyone with an innocent look on her face.
Li Zuocong read her test paper over and over again before handing it to her.
Except for the first place who stood out from the crowd with a score of over 140, the second place was normal with 120, and the score became lower and lower after that. The last place had a score of over 30, but he still ranked first in the class.
However, this time, Li Zuocong specially circulated Su Yi’s test paper to the whole class.
For some students, a score of over 140 was just a concept. Only when they saw the test paper did they truly know what a high score meant.
On the whole answer sheet, there were only two points where she lost points, and the rest were right. Not to mention the beautiful handwriting and neat appearance of the paper, but all the steps were also concise and neat, without even a single place of corrections.
For the first time, they realized that the originally boring test papers could sometimes be pleasing to the eye.
In this math test, some students in the elite class scored full marks, but Su Yi’s test paper had been studied by other teachers in the math group before.
Not only because she was not a student in the elite class, but also because her solution to the last sub-question of the last question was the best and easiest among all the students.
However, when seeing the two wrong answers she got at the beginning, the other teachers couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.
She could answer the questions in the competition difficulty, but she got the questions of normal difficulty wrong. Was this student a little careless?
