Chapter 271 Outrageous
Chapter 271 Outrageous
Parents' meeting...
After hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar term from Anna's mouth, Leon couldn't help but be slightly dazed.
During this period of time, I participated in a lot of weird events. Not only did I fight wits and courage with enemies with various abilities, I even landed on an asteroid more than 70,000 kilometers above the ground. In front of dozens of branch directors whose status was equivalent to that of true gods, I had a face-to-face SOLO with Director Aquarius.
To be frank, although my strength is not very strong, I can't be considered an ordinary person. Taking into account the identity of the hollow duke, I now have the ability to influence the world... and influence a very small part of the world.
As for me, who had just thwarted the conspiracy of the Aquarius director a few days ago and indirectly protected the world, I was about to go to my younger brother and sister's school to participate in the parent-teacher meeting organized by the community school. As the parent who makes the decision, I was also going to discuss the further studies of the two little bastards at home...
It's amazing.
"what happened?"
After waiting for a while, Leon didn't answer, and he looked a little dazed. Anna couldn't help but look at him worriedly, then came over and asked softly:
"Do you still have a headache? If you're still not feeling well, you should just rest at home for a day. I'll go to the parent-teacher conference."
"Um... No, I'm sober now."
After noticing the worry in his sister’s eyes, Leon came back to his senses and felt warm in his heart. Then he smiled and shook his head:
"I just thought of some interesting things, so I was a little distracted. Besides, I'm too busy at work to have time to accompany you... The carriage is here, get on first!"
……
When the public carriage approached and stopped by the roadside, Leon put his hands to protect Anna's head and watched her bend down and get into the carriage. Then he followed her in and sat with her in the window seat.
"correct."
As if remembering something, Leon asked curiously:
"I remember that the elementary school of the Bridge School lasts for six years, right? William and his friends started school half a year late, and they still have two months to go before they reach the second grade. Isn't it a little early to discuss future studies now?"
"It is late."
Anna shook her head when she heard this, and said happily but a little worriedly:
"Unlike the public school I attended, Bridge School is one of the top public schools, and the future paths of students are arranged very early.
Generally speaking, in the first year of enrollment, we will teach some basic knowledge and see where the students have potential. In the second and third years, we will try to train them in the corresponding direction and conduct trial and error.
If you find that you have limited talent in a certain direction, then change to another direction. Once you have basically determined your academic goals, you should start intensive study in the fourth, fifth, and sixth years.
In addition to the targeted subjects during these three years, you also need to communicate more with the corresponding senior high school, participate in the corresponding school's activities, build good relationships with the teachers, and strive to obtain admission exemption qualifications, or a recommendation letter from the corresponding school teacher..."
Wow, is it this curly?
I don’t know much about this. After listening to Anna’s words, Leon couldn’t help but exclaimed:
"William and the others are not even seven years old yet. Isn't it a little early to think about these things now?"
"It's really late."
Anna couldn't help but glared at Leon when she heard this, and then she explained:
"They start school when they are six years old and graduate when they are about to turn thirteen. At that time, it is time to choose the middle school of the future. More than 90% of students can only go to ordinary middle schools, learn a skill to make a living, and graduate when they are sixteen years old. Then they go out to work hard. Even typesetters in newspapers and furnace materials technicians in factories are considered rare and good jobs.
Only less than 10% of students can enter those particularly good middle schools. After three years of hard work, they can try again to see if they can get a recommendation letter and exam qualifications to continue their studies in those famous universities. How can they succeed if they don’t start early? "
"..."Oh yes, according to the laws of the kingdom, people are considered adults at the age of 16, and university is far from being so popular. Only a small number of students with excellent family backgrounds and talents are eligible to consider it. Most people will go directly to work after graduating from high school.
So even though they still feel like “kids”, the significance of the three years after community school is almost equivalent to what I consider to be the “three years of high school”, and it is normal to start working hard and early.
When he thought of this, Leon pondered over what Anna had just said and roughly understood the basic logic behind the school's approach.
Considering the kingdom's admission method, which is not a relatively fair unified examination, but each school recruits students on its own and organizes interviews and written examinations on its own, there are more ways to "run around" here.
After all, even if there is no threshold for participating in the exam and interview, as long as you provide a graduation certificate from the community public school and a transcript that shows that all basic subjects have met the standards, in theory, you can be admitted as long as you pass both tests.
But there are schools like the Bridge School, where students start "career investigations" in the second grade, then do intensive study for the target schools for several years, occasionally go to the corresponding middle schools to participate in activities, and become very familiar with the teachers in charge of the interviews. They may even be able to figure out the scope of the test questions. Children from ordinary families and schools will definitely not be able to get in unless they have explosive talent.
So it seems that everyone has equal opportunities and has the same route and destination to run, but in fact, while you are still working hard to practice running, others are already installing cyberprosthetics on their legs and have even started building portals to the finish line.
How outrageous...
After shaking his head slightly, Leon looked at Anna who looked a little nervous beside him, and couldn't help but patted her hand and comforted her softly:
"Don't worry, William and Melanie are just naughty, but they are not stupid. They are both smart. As long as they study step by step, they will basically have a good future. What's more, my salary is not low, and... um...
In short, even if they can’t go to the best schools in the future, it won’t be too difficult to find a good job for them. If that’s not possible, I can support them for a few more years.”
"This is what I'm most worried about!"
After hearing what Leon said, Anna couldn’t help but said angrily:
"A few days ago, the public school teacher gave the students a questionnaire and asked them to fill out their expectations for the future. Do you know what Melanie filled out?"
"Um...what did you fill in?"
"She wants to find a handsome and rich husband to support her and spoil her! Then she can eat and drink happily every day for the rest of her life!"
"..."
When Anna mentioned Melanie's "parasite" dream, she couldn't help but clench her fists, then gritted her teeth and said angrily:
"After seeing the watch, the teacher pulled her aside and talked to her for a long time, saying that she couldn't pin her future on such things, and that her husband couldn't support her forever, and asked her to rethink her plans for the future.
This little bastard thought about it for a long time, and finally deleted the part about finding a husband, and changed it to "Let you support her in the first half of her life, and let William support her in the second half of her life, and then play with dolls, eat snacks and drink milk tea every day, and live happily for the rest of her life!"
"..."
It's OK... The way I filled out this form is really consistent with my understanding of Melanie...
"Well...I said it's a little too early!"
Leon, who was shocked, was silent for a while, then tried to comfort him:
"If you ask a child what she wants to do in the future, of course she won't know, so it's normal for her to give such a childish answer. You don't need to be too angry... By the way, what about William? What did he fill in?"
"The answers he filled in were...very mature."
Anna took a deep breath and said with despair in her eyes:
"He wants to rebel, overthrow the royal family and become king himself. Then he will lead his army from west to east, conquer the twelve kingdoms and rule the world."
"..."
