College Construction: My Principal System - Chapter 21

Chapter 21: The Experimental High School and how its Road was Narrow

The award ceremony was still going on, and the host, Bing Bing, who was holding a microphone under the podium, widened her eyes.

If it was about e-sports, she might not know anything about it.

But she was very clear about the five big competitions that everyone in the education world knew about.

Looking at the whole country, Jing city was only a second-tier city, and its education level was in the middle.

It was naturally incomparable to the big first-tier cities like Yanjing, Shanghai, and Yaodu.

Every year, the total number of medals that Jingcheng City could get added up to ten figures, which was quite impressive.

But now, just Yun Ding High School alone.

Had won over thirty gold medals.

And these were only gold medals. The silver and bronze medals added up to nearly a hundred.

The most ridiculous thing was.

The students sent by Yun Ding High School to participate in the competition were only about a hundred people.

The average person holding a medal was still okay.

This was a national level large-scale competition. Many students getting a medal was almost unheard of.

Bing Bing had previously interviewed several students who had received medals.

All of them were excited, their hands were trembling, and the corners of their eyes were faintly flashing with tears.

They cherished this hard-won medal.

It was good to have it.

The medal was just precious!

The host, Bing Bing, rubbed her eyes, in order to calm her surprised mood, she asked, “Principal Fang Yuan, May I ask why you have led the students of Yun Ding High School to achieve so much in the five major competitions? Can you share the story behind this struggle?”

Bing Bing was a veteran reporter after all.

She was very skilled at asking questions in interviews.

She knew that most school leaders liked to take credit for their achievements.

There were even some leaders who liked to talk about their past struggles.

However, Fang Yuan pondered for a while and said,

“A struggle story? Yun Ding High School may not have the struggle story you want. I didn’t do anything amazing. I just did my best to provide the strongest campus infrastructure and the best teachers.”

“We have a common metaphor, which is to compare the students to the flowers of the motherland. To me, Yun Ding High School is like a piece of cultivated soil. As long as it is fertile enough, the seeds planted in spring will definitely bloom in autumn.”

“Go interview them.”

Fang Yuan smiled and pointed at the children on the podium from afar. “The glory belongs to my students.”

The bullet comments in the live broadcast room exploded countless times:

“Oh my God. Is this someone else’s principal?”

“After listening to Principal Fang Yuan’s answer, I think it’s not surprising that Yun Ding High School can achieve the results they have today.”

“Yun Ding High School’s education is deep and profound. It’s completely different from those flirtatious B*tches who are popular online. I’m in love.”

…

The next day, the “High School Education Watch” magazine published a social commentary by the head of the Education Department, Wei Wen:

“From Yun Ding High School’s Principal Fang Yuan’s view on education, on the current strange situation in the education world!”

“American educator John Dewey said that education is life, and school is society.

“But now our school management system is mostly unnatural, and even anti-human.

“In order to let everyone, seize the time to study, schools such as the Jingcheng City experimental High School even forcibly restrict the time for students to eat, not allowing boys and girls to sit at the same table to eat, which is really lamentable.

“Think about it, is this really the way of life? Should our High School education really be like this?

“In my opinion, the attempt to control the way of students, to achieve the goal of teaching improvement.

“It is really pushing it too far.

“Yun Ding High School, on the other hand, Principal Fang Yuan fully respected the students’ autonomy in practice, and thus was able to achieve impressive results in the five university science competitions, and even in e-sports competitions. Such an education concept is worth learning for all of us in the education industry.”

…

Although this was only a small social commentary, when it was published in the tone of the head of the education department.

Its impact was endless.

Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, it created layers of ripples that lasted for a long time.

The first to bear the brunt was Jingcheng Experimental High School, which was directly criticized by the editorials.

It was also the school where He Yang was the director of Education.

“Limit the time for students to eat, don’t allow boys and girls to sit at the same table to eat.”

There were many other extreme measures like this.

They were all the whimsical ideas of the newly appointed Director He.

His ideas were stupid and crude.

If students didn’t study, then limit their lunch breaks

No eating together at the same table can prevent students from having puppy love.

Forcing boys to be bald and girls to have short hair can reduce the time they have to take care of their appearances.

Under the guidance of this educational concept, the Jingcheng experimental High School guards its students as if they were thieves.

Now that the leaders had spoken, this educational method needed to be corrected immediately.

As the one who made the school rules and regulations. He Yang was directly fined three months’ performance bonus.

The Experimental High School was indeed very rough. The school leaders treated the teachers the way the teachers treated the students. It was like a kind of reincarnation.

He Yang, who had originally intended to trip up Principal Fang Yuan, had instead harmed himself instead of harming others.

Looking at the development of Yun Ding High School now.

‘I regret a lot, but who can be blamed for this? I can only blame myself for taking a narrow path.’ He Yang thought.
