Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 209 - 105 Grandmaster, I will certainly make the Sect proud!

Huaxia, Star City, Qiao Yu’s alma mater, Railway First Middle School.

Qiao Yu went directly from Star City to Beijing on the eighth day of the lunar year. Since he had already informed the school beforehand, he didn’t notify the school when he left. He quietly went to Beijing, but it didn’t mean there was no impact on the school.

Others may not have felt anything, but Principal Zhang certainly did.

With the school year approaching, although students were still on winter break, many teachers at the school were already busy.

Every year before and after vacation, and before important exams, these are the busiest times for a principal.

It’s not just the students who need to refocus after a long break; the teachers do too.

Fun fact, at least in middle school, it’s not just the students who dread going back to school; teachers aren’t eager to either. After all, isn’t it more comfortable to sleep at home than to work?

So Zhang Tiejun always has to start getting busy first.

Internally, he has to properly arrange work for after school starts. Safety remains the most important issue, which is always mentioned in meetings, along with having heart-to-heart talks with staff from each grade. The new year’s work must begin after the holidays.

Last year, Xingtie First Middle School made good progress, and everyone has to continue to work hard this year, especially the teachers of the ninth and twelfth grades. It’s the last semester, and the responsibility is on their shoulders!

Externally, there are also many things to deal with. The supervisory departments are also afraid that principals will slack off, especially in high school. So there are a lot of external meetings too.

At this time, Qiao Yu’s influence became apparent.

For example, at the post-holiday work conference held by the higher-up departments, Old Zhang’s seat was in the front row, surrounded by those from prestigious schools.

Even though it seems like a small change, in Huaxia, it often has more hidden meanings, especially at those formal meetings held by official units. Sometimes just the way leaders’ seats are arranged can give many inexperienced managers a headache for a whole day.

The seats below weren’t as particular as those on stage, but principals from prestigious and regular schools, their status is different. You could clearly see who sits in front and who sits at the back; it’s all about rules. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Of course, seating can change often, like when a principal’s school recently achieved something, or a principal may be promoted soon, then the seat will naturally be adjusted.

Never doubt the ability of those entrusted with arranging seating to obtain information. Having been in government units for a long time, they can sense even the smallest changes.

They are all astute people. Just by observing the moment someone walks out of a leader’s office, they can analyze a lot of things. The skill of reading subtle hints is no joke, not to mention that the name Zhang Tiejun has noticeably been mentioned more by the leaders lately.

And most of it is with a sense of admiration: "Old Zhang, not easy at all."

Indeed, it’s not easy at all.

Educational resources flow from underdeveloped areas to developed ones; from regular schools to prestigious ones, and gradually congregate, which is an almost irreversible dynamic process.

Globally, talent has always flowed to developed areas.

Looking at Huaxia, back then, economically developed coastal areas were luring quality professors from central and western regions with high salaries, forcing the top institutional designers to directly issue documents prohibiting developed areas from unilaterally poaching talents...

Specifically in Star City, good teachers and students strive to get into the Four top schools, and at the very least, the Five Small. Under such a background, regular high schools find it very hard to achieve success in competitions.

The leaders know that it’s not good, as it goes against some core principles, but what can they do? If you want to change it, how great does the resistance have to be?

Surely you can’t force those quality teachers to rotate through every school? Their homes are nearby; why should they be transferred to farther places to teach students with weaker foundations?

Not to mention, it’s not just excellent teachers who have opinions. Students who’ve worked hard to get into prestigious schools, their parents have even stronger objections, as do the education groups behind these prestigious schools and even the residents nearby...

In short, making changes forcibly won’t necessarily earn praise, but it will certainly draw harsh criticism from many people. Even when distributing resources to public schools, those resources inevitably lean toward prestigious schools.

What can be done?

The prestigious schools are filled with students who can attend top schools in the future; Huaqing, Yanbei, double first-class, at worst a 211, they’re all pillars of the future nation-building...

But humans are strange creatures; what they can’t do themselves, they always hope others can achieve.

In this regard, Zhang Tiejun has done exceptionally well.

See, Xingtie First Middle School is just an ordinary school with no resource advantage, and its recruitment isn’t as attractive as those of prestigious schools. But how did they manage to cultivate a student like Qiao Yu?

CMO champion, also the first student this year to receive a direct offer from Yanbei University, including undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral studies all at once.

Keep in mind, although the top sixty in CMO can earn a guaranteed spot at Huaqing or Yanbei, it doesn’t mean everyone can sign an agreement for continuous studies from undergraduate through doctorage.

Moreover, everyone has already received the news that Qiao Yu’s future mentor is an Academician from Huaxia Science Academy, one of the pillars of Huaxia’s mathematics community; the treatment couldn’t be more generous!

Most importantly, Qiao Yu was nurtured by the junior department of Railway First Middle School!
