When Kotori Yukenta returned to the office after the first class, he saw Mr. Tanaka frowning.
"What's the matter, Mr. Tanaka?" Xiaoniao Youjian asked too puzzled, "Didn't you go to class B for a quiz just now? What was the result?"
"As a result..." Mr. Tanaka looked up at Xiaoniaoyou, his eyes were blurred, as if he had just witnessed some indescribable horror, so his sanity was lost for a while.
This made Kotori Yukenta feel very strange, so he asked: "That Kiryu-kun, how is he doing?"
"He..." Mr. Tanaka pushed his reading glasses. After all, he is about to retire and is the oldest teacher in the school. "He uses calculus to solve my problems."
And the high school mathematics that I learned all my life, I dismantled many calculus knowledge points and threw them into various problem-solving ideas, but I didn't make a systematic summary.
What's more, after finishing college with Ma, he studied advanced mathematics for two years seriously.
So when I see a topic that can use advanced mathematics knowledge, I use it habitually.
Mathematics is like riding a bicycle. After you really understand it, it is difficult to completely forget it. Even if you forget it temporarily, you will remember it soon after thinking about it.
Although Xiaoniao Yu Kenta is an English teacher, we usually work in the same office, and Mr. Tanaka is still at the desk next to him, so he also knows some mathematics teaching content by ear, and he was shocked when he heard this.
Although Japan had not started to implement loose education in 1980, there were still many contents that would not be covered in normal school teaching.
This is determined by the Japanese education system.
Since high school in Japan, each school has adopted the method of recruiting students with their own questions, and this system is directly used in the admissions of universities.
Depending on the schools and subjects that students want to apply for, the content of the exams that students have to prepare for is completely different.
The same is the law school, the content of the examination at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University is very different.
Private prestigious schools such as Keio University even require students who are admitted to the Faculty of Comprehensive Policy to write policy essays on the spot based on the topic.
Therefore, even in 1980, when loose education was not implemented, Japanese high school education generally only taught students the knowledge required to graduate from high school.
The biggest difference from the later relaxed generation is that after the implementation of loose education, the passing line of the 100-point system in most schools was set to 30 points.
Of course, there is another difference. In 1980, after determining which university the students wanted to enter, the high school teachers would be responsible for setting up a small stove, while various "advanced schools" with the main goal of entering a higher school would organize senior high school students to participate in national college entrance exams. Mock exams, comprehensive assessment of students' academic ability and targeted guidance - in the relaxed generation, these are things that only cram schools do, and ordinary schools don't do it at all.
In the relaxed generation, if you want to receive this kind of education, pay for cram school.
Fortunately, it is not in the loose generation now, otherwise He Ma would have no money to go to cram schools, and schools like the University of Tokyo would not even think about it.
All in all, Mr. Tanaka never taught the content of calculus used in Kazuma's quiz this time.
"Where did he learn this knowledge?" Mr. Tanaka asked Kotori Yukenta with a blank face.
Xiaoniaoyou spread his hands together: "Cram school, only cram school can teach him these things, he can't be self-taught, right?"
In fact, it comes from past life memories - of course no one would think in this direction.
"He is really preparing to take the University of Tokyo exam." Mr. Tanaka scratched his head, he had already started to bald at his age, and now there are only a few hairs left on his head to support the scene.
"But his family's financial situation is not very good. Where can I get the money to go to the cram school?" Teacher Tanaka turned to look at Teacher Xiaoniaoyou.
The latter spread his hands together: "Perhaps, some relative just happened to be studying at Dongda? Or... a social worker sent by the district office?"
In this era, Japan began to follow the example of the West in establishing a social work system, but the effect was limited, and it did not help to solve the increasingly serious problem of "street friends" (that is, homeless people).
Teacher Tanaka was noncommittal, and looked down at the test paper again.
"So, how many points did he get?" Xiaoniaoyou asked.
"98 points is the highest score this time." Mr. Tanaka replied, "Because I always thought about the University of Tokyo when I wrote the questions, I was a bit biased towards the direction that the self-examination questions of the University of Tokyo would give, so many of the usual deviations were not equal. The low-level students have not solved many problems.”
Xiaoniaoyou was shocked: "Then... isn't it outrageous that Kiryu still scored 98 points?"
"That's why I'm lamenting that he is really serious about taking the University of Tokyo exam." Tanaka-sensei suddenly laughed, "Think about it carefully, isn't this a good thing? Even if you can't get out of the University of Tokyo, go out Students from relatively good private universities are also a thing that adds glory to the school."
As he said that, he took out the thickest book from the row in front of him: "Let me make a special list of reference books for him to use when he is admitted to Dongda University."
Teacher Xiaoniaoyou also suddenly came to his senses: "It makes sense, then I'll also check the English test questions of the previous exams at the University of Tokyo."
"Just do it!"
As soon as Mr. Tanaka finished speaking, other teachers came in with textbooks. Upon hearing what they said, they asked suspiciously, "What should I do?"
"Ah, Kiryu from Class B seems to really want to take the University of Tokyo exam. He has even studied calculus." Mr. Tanaka replied.
"Really?" The teacher who just came in was surprised, "Is that Kiryu?"
Teacher Xiaoniaoyou had a black line on his face: "Yes, that's Kiryu who despised my pronunciation yesterday."
"Really? His ranking is not high, is it really possible to be admitted to Dongda University?"
"There is hope." Mr. Tanaka lowered his head to write Kiryu's bibliography, and said without raising his head, "However, how much hope there is depends on the national simulation after the Golden Week. But I think we should encourage him now, At that time, we will look at the national rankings and decide which school is better to persuade him to go to."
The teacher who just came in praised: "It's a good thing, our school has not attended the University of Tokyo for several years."
Because Japanese National Universities like to hold admissions exams on the same day, candidates have made their choice at the moment they decide to apply for the exam, and there is no possibility of using other schools for the bottom line, so everyone always tends to apply for the school they are most confident about.
So even if it is a strong school like Beige's, it is normal for those who haven't gone to Dongda for many years.
The three teachers were chatting, and Mr. Tachibana, the head teacher of Class B, also came in. Mr. Tanaka saw him coming in, and immediately called him: "Teacher Tachibana, you haven't dismissed Kiryu and Ma's approach and want to investigate, have you?"
"Not yet, but I plan to use the student guidance room to have a good talk with him today." Teacher Lihua said, "What's wrong? Did he commit a crime?"
"No, no! We think that he might really want to take the exam, and it seems that he still has a little chance to pass the exam."
Teacher Lihua opened his mouth wide open: "Is it true?"
"Really, really. Look, this is the quiz I took today, and he got the highest score, 10 points higher than the second place!"
Teacher Tachibana went over immediately and took the test paper handed over by Teacher Tanaka.
One is for Kiryu Kazuma, with 98 points, and the other is for Yamada Yoichi, with 88 points.
Teacher Tachibana didn't speak for a long time, and then he raised his head and asked Mr. Tanaka, who was older than him: "Then should I change my strategy and support him to enter Tokyo University?"
"Support him now, and see where his final grades can go. Anyway, after the exam next year, we can decide which school to apply to." Mr. Tanaka suggested.
Teacher Tachibana nodded: "Okay, then do this."
"By the way, I have listed a bibliography for him here, about mathematics, and you will hand it over to him when you interview him later." Mr. Tanaka tore off the one with about six or seven items written on it from his notebook. Paper, stuff it to Tachibana teacher.
"Wait for me!" Teacher Xiaoniaoyou shouted, "I'll list one too."
At this time, Mr. Zhongtiao, who teaches Chinese, also came in. Seeing the scene, he asked suspiciously: "What are you talking about, so enthusiastic?"
So Mr. Tanaka took on the task of explaining again.
After listening to Mr. Nakajo, he clapped his hands: "Okay! Let me make a bibliography too. To be honest, I haven't met a student who really wants to enter the University of Tokyo for a long time. It's been a long time."
