"The school put our children in Class 13, because they thought our grades were not good, and the school gave up on us long ago, so the school has no responsibility."
"I work hard every day to earn money for him to eat and drink. Is it my fault that he doesn't study hard?"
"Our family is not suitable for studying. Going out to do other things is the way out. Do you want to take care of things?"
The parents present were not to be trifled with, they were blinded for a while, and then, like a frying pan, they crazily counterattacked Lao Lin.
Lao Lin listened to every sentence, sat leisurely in his seat, smiled, remembering those who spoke and their faces.
When parents clash with parents, the most embarrassing thing in the classroom is the head teacher in front of the podium.
Li Shu looked left and right, and wanted to say a few words to ease the atmosphere, but at this moment, Lao Lin glanced at her.
The female teacher's eyes changed, as if she had received some message, and then she stood quietly without saying a word.
The protests of the parents gradually died down until they stopped completely.
"Did you hear that?"
Lao Lin's voice sounded slowly.
"What are you listening to?" Some parents with low EQ whispered.
"Did you hear everything your parents said?" Lao Lin looked at the students in the class and asked.
The entire classroom fell silent, and no one answered his question.
Lao Lin still insisted on asking the children: "How do you feel about these words?"
Most of the children bowed their heads and remained silent. Lao Lin only asked three questions, without any indirect tone, but the atmosphere of the classroom seemed to have been scolded by the most severe teacher.
"Does it sound hopeless? The school is not responsible for you. The parents who seem to have worked so hard to raise you up feel that they have done enough. No one will be responsible for your future. How does it feel?"
"That's it... that's it?" Suddenly, a probing voice came from the last row of the classroom.
Lao Lin looked over and found one: "The kid has a lot of ideas, come and talk about it, how about 'just like this'?"
"I don't know." Zheng Mate was rarely serious, "Just take a step, let's take a look."
"Where do you think your next step will be?"
"I have no idea?"
"Open the white paper in your hand and see, where is your next step most likely to go?"
"Secondary school?"
"What professional?"
"Computers, my dad said this makes money."
Father Zheng let out a "tsk" and signaled him to shut up quickly: "How old are you and you want to make money?"
"Didn't you always tell me to finish my studies quickly and come out early to make money?"
"What about yourself?" Lao Lin looked at him, "Whatever your father says, what do you want to do and what will you be more interested in in the future?"
Zheng Mate opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to answer Lao Lin, but he was troubled for a long time, but found that he couldn't speak at all.
"I don't know either… "
In the end, he was honest and honest, and looked at Lao Lin with hopeful eyes, as if hoping to get the right answer from there.
However, Lao Lin just said: "If you don't know, just think about it."
There was a slight sound of discouragement in the classroom. It seemed that Zheng Mate was not the only one who wanted to get an answer from Lao Lin.
Ma Te Zheng looked a little unwilling: "I don't understand, uncle, what should I think?"
Lao Lin looked at the head teacher on the podium: "Do you have any suggestions, teacher?"
Li Shu said: "The teacher thinks that if you don't know what to do yet, you should study hard first, at least go to high school, and when you want to figure it out in the future, you will still have the opportunity to choose."
Dad Zheng got angry: "What do you mean, look down on us technical secondary school students, I graduated from technical secondary school and now I open a supermarket and earn tens of thousands of dollars a month, much more than you!"
Zheng Mate was even more confused: "Then why did the teacher say that I will have no chance after I go to technical secondary school?"
Li Shu is very euphemistic: "There are still opportunities, but you have to be prepared and pay more..."
"What price?"
Li Shu couldn't answer, so she could only go to see Lao Lin.
Lao Lin is very patient: "I can only say that if, if you are lucky enough to find something you like, you will not be willing to touch only a little bit of it. When you want to keep pursuing it, you will know what price you have to pay. .”
When he said this, his painting style changed, "In fact, the above sentence is chicken soup for the soul in the usual sense. In fact, although opportunities are for those who are prepared, those who have no opportunities often don't need to prepare."
When Lin Zhaoxi heard this, she felt her knees hurt very much. She had a deep understanding of Lao Lin's last truth.
"Ah, is that so, no one told me before!" Zheng Matt became annoyed.
"It's not your fault." Lao Lin is very serious, "Failure to provide you with the most perfect growth environment is the problem of your family, school and our society."
Lao Lin looked at the parents who questioned him just now, and said, "Which parent said just now, 'The school is responsible for assigning everyone to class 13', please raise your hand?"
The parents looked at each other, and finally a boy's mother shouted: "I said, what's wrong!"
"You're right!" Lao Lin nodded in approval.
The mother stared wide-eyed, thinking that Lao Lin might be ill.
Lao Lin: "But the school is wrong. What can you do with the school? High-quality educational resources are so limited. Your child is still in a key junior high school, which is already very good. Ordinary families are even more helpless. Our status is in a sense It is very unfair to determine what kind of basic education our children will receive and what kind of industry positions they will be led to, but the degree of unfairness is actually much better than it was 100 years ago."
Lao Lin looked at Zheng Matt's father again: "You just asked your son's class teacher what qualifications she has to look down on you, because she is still trying to get your son out of some 'unfairness' you have caused, that's why she has the right to look down on you Your place."
Like a press conference, Lao Lin continued to point out people: "I will translate what you said just now—you work hard every day to make money for your children to eat and drink, and you have done enough, isn't it?"
"Is not it?!"
"Let me correct you, it is what the country's laws require us to do for him to eat and drink, and it is what society requires of us to teach them to read, to be a man, and to help him grow up. But admit it, education is too tiring, and parents in this world There are no barriers to entry, and we are all trying to figure out how to educate our children, and it is our many shortcomings and mistakes that have caused their problems."
The parents started whispering, and even the children were a little bit annoyed when they heard Lao Lin criticize their parents like this.
But Lao Lin didn't care about that, he pointed to the last parent very precisely: "Finally, I'll answer Liu Ping's mother's question about 'none of my business'."
Lao Lin said, "Unfortunately, children are not only your children, but also children of this society. As a member of society, I still count on them for my future, so this matter still has something to do with me."
"Then according to you, we don't study well, so it has nothing to do with us?"
Finally, a brave child raised his hand and asked, smiling.
"Unfortunately, child, you may have misunderstood me..." Lao Lin also smiled, like a seasoned hunter who saw his prey fall into a trap.
"We adults are very shameless. There are so many problems in your family, school, and society? But what can you do? You still have to bear our mistakes, accept our fiddling, and embark on a 'just like' life Road."
"Why!?" Some students were very annoyed.
"Because we adults are not only particularly stubborn, but also have limited abilities. We cannot correct the problems you have suffered at this stage. Not only that, but I am not responsible for the problems we have created."
The classroom fell silent again, like a small piece of empty universe, making people feel absolutely quiet in their thinking.
"Since you can't change it, if we don't want to be manipulated, we have to work hard to change it?" The team leader felt that something was wrong no matter what he thought, and finally frowned at Lao Lin, "It's cruel, and it implies that we have to work hard to change the social status quo , can I pretend I didn't hear what you just said?"
"It's late." Old Lin said.
"It's really shameless."
The whole class shouted at Lao Lin almost in unison.
Comrade Lao Lin, who finished answering reporters' questions, laughed.
