90s: You are all reborn, who will spoil you?
Chapter 54
Xie Yan, who was sitting in a spacious and bright classroom attending class, had no idea what was happening between her parents.
Today is the day when the monthly exam results are announced, and it is also the day when the parents' meeting is held.
Usually Lin Luping comes to attend the parent-teacher meeting, but today, she is in the detention center.
Xie Jianhua went to find her, but no one held a parent-teacher meeting for Xie Yan.
The head teacher, Mr. Zhou, stood on the podium, holding the report card in his hand, with an expression that was both serious and encouraging on his face.
The classroom was filled with an atmosphere of tension and anticipation, and every student held their breath, afraid of missing their name and score.
"Our class performed well overall in this monthly exam. Several students have made significant progress and deserve praise." Teacher Zhou looked around the classroom, glanced at Yang Shuang with a satisfied smile, then glanced at Xie Yan with a dark look in her eyes. Then she spoke slowly, "However, some students' grades have declined. I hope you can learn from this, identify your shortcomings, and work hard to catch up."
Xie Yan shrugged indifferently. As a graduate student from a 985-211 university in her previous life, was she afraid of doing elementary school questions?
"Now, let me announce the results of this monthly exam." Teacher Zhou's voice was clear and powerful, and she read out every name and score accurately.
When she read Xie Yan's name, she paused deliberately, as if looking for the right words to describe Xie Yan's performance.
"Xie Yan, 100 points in math! 50 points in Chinese!"
"Yang Shuang, 100 points in math! 100 points in Chinese!"
...
As soon as Teacher Zhou finished speaking, a sigh of relief was heard in the classroom.
The classmates turned to look at Xie Yan, their eyes full of mockery.
He got full marks in math but only half in Chinese. Such a result is really unbelievable.
Xie Yan was also stunned, but then she guessed that Teacher Zhou did it on purpose.
"Xie Yan, your Chinese grades are so poor because you don't understand what people are saying." Teacher Zhou's voice was filled with blame and ridicule. "You're always forming cliques and not doing your job properly, and now your grades are so poor. You're just half-baked. Why are you pretending?!"
Xie Yan laughed. She felt that Teacher Zhou was like a clown.
A technical secondary school student said that a graduate student couldn't understand what he was saying.
It sounds abstract no matter how I listen to it!
"Teacher, you said that I can't understand what you're saying. Then I would like to ask, are every sentence you say clear and easy to understand when you lecture? Or is it that only students with good grades can understand your lectures?" Although Xie Yan's voice was not loud, every word was full of power. She looked directly into Teacher Zhou's eyes without the slightest fear.
The classroom suddenly fell silent, and all eyes were focused on Xie Yan and Teacher Zhou.
Teacher Zhou's face turned ashen. She obviously didn't expect Xie Yan to refute her so directly.
The parents and students in the audience began to whisper and discuss among themselves, and the voices gradually merged into a noise that could not be ignored.
"Xie Yan is so brave that she dares to talk to the teacher like that." A student whispered to his deskmate, with a look of surprise and admiration in his eyes.
"Yeah, I heard that she has been pretending a lot lately! She really deserves a beating!" another student replied with a playful smile on his face.
"But then again, the teacher can't say that people don't understand what they're saying. That's too hurtful." A parent frowned and said to the person next to him, obviously dissatisfied with what Teacher Zhou said.
"That's right, this teacher is going too far. How can he treat students like this?" Another parent echoed, his eyes revealing sympathy for Xie Yan.
"Alas, the quality of teachers nowadays is uneven." A seemingly experienced parent shook his head and sighed.
As the discussion spread, more parents and students joined in, and the atmosphere in the classroom became increasingly tense.
Teacher Zhou stood on the podium, feeling the various gazes from all around him, and his expression gradually became panicked.
She had originally taken advantage of Xie Yan's stubborn personality and didn't dare to say anything when she was bullied, but she didn't expect that Xie Yan's personality had taken a 180-degree turn recently.
"Quiet! Everyone, be quiet!" Teacher Zhou finally couldn't help herself. She slapped the podium hard, trying to suppress the noise from the audience. "This is a classroom, not a place for you to chat!"
Her voice seemed to be drowned out by the louder discussions. Parents and students were still discussing and seemed to be ignoring her warnings.
In the end, she had to vent her anger on Xie Yan.
"Xie Yan, you are talking back to the teacher!" Teacher Zhou's voice was trembling, with anger and embarrassment intertwined.
"No, teacher, I'm just stating the facts," Xie Yan responded calmly. "Regardless of my Chinese grades, I just know that those with poor grades simply can't understand what people are saying. So, what are we?"
Teacher Zhou's face became even uglier. She glanced around the classroom. There were many children from well-off families in this class, and she couldn't afford to offend these children.
"Okay, that's the end of this matter." Teacher Zhou forced a smile. "Xie Yan, please stay after school. I have something to tell you."
"Okay." Xie Yan smiled and nodded in agreement.
Next, Teacher Zhou began to explain the test paper, but Xie Yan discovered a problem.
Her answer was obviously correct, but Teacher Zhou marked it with an x. It was obvious that he was targeting her on purpose.
Xie Yan didn't hesitate at all. She stood up and pointed at her test paper. "Teacher, I want to discuss my test paper with you."
Xie Yan's voice was calm and powerful. She walked to the podium and spread the test paper in front of Teacher Zhou. "Look, I clearly wrote the answer to this question correctly, but you marked it wrong."
Teacher Zhou glanced at the test paper and his eyes flickered.
"Oh, about that..." Teacher Zhou smiled calmly, "Maybe I misread it, or maybe I made a mistake when grading. Let me correct it for you and give you the corresponding points back."
Xie Yan narrowed her eyes slightly. She could see through Teacher Zhou's perfunctory and hypocritical attitude.
"Teacher, I want to know why my composition got zero points?"
After saying that, Xie Yan waved the test paper in her hand, and the column for composition score clearly showed zero points.
When the parents in the audience heard this, they all frowned and the discussions started again, more intense than before.
"Zero points for the composition? How is that possible? Even if it's poorly written, it's impossible to get no points at all?" A parent said in disbelief, his eyes shifting back and forth between Xie Yan and Teacher Zhou.
"Yes, teacher, you have to give an explanation. You can't give students grades so casually." Another parent echoed with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"And looking at this child, he doesn't seem like the type of student who wouldn't hand in homework or would just scribble sloppily." A parent who looked quite kind said, his eyes revealing his trust in Xie Yan.
"Teacher, do you have any misunderstanding or prejudice against Xie Yan? You cursed at us and gave the child zero points. How dare we entrust our child to you?" A parent directly questioned with a hint of blame in his voice.
Teacher Zhou felt an unprecedented pressure. She looked at the parents in the audience, her heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
My behavior this time has aroused public anger. If it is not handled properly, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Parents, please listen to my explanation."
Teacher Zhou tried to sound sincere and calm. "Xie Yan's essay received a zero because her idea didn't meet the requirements of the topic, and her expression was rather disorganized. I gave her a zero because I hope she'll take her essay seriously and not just do it perfunctorily."
