Chapter 17 - I Will Get Started (1/2)
”Ok, so you mean that you are teaching well, but they can't get good results because they are stupid. Am I right to say that?”
”Of course.”
”So, you mean that their poor results have nothing to do with you, right?”
”Yes!”
”Alright, if that's the case, why not we go on with the bet that I suggested?”
”Fine! If all of them understand your explanation, then I will resign! However, if any one of them don't, then you scram off from school!”
The class was extremely angry and worried. The conditions Mrs. Wen suggested were definitely not fair because she was a teacher and Mo Xi was just a student. If a teacher can't make any one of her students understand a concept, how could a student, make all of them understand.
”No problem.”
”Principal, I'm sure you heard our bet, so you have to make sure that it holds,” Mo Xi said as she turned her head to look at the Principal who just arrived together with the Head of Mathematics Department, Mrs. Lee.
”Mo Xi, how could you do such things?!” The Principal reprimanded Mo Xi angrily.
Mo Xi was just thinking that bringing the Principal here might not be enough, Mrs. Lee might be needed as well, and Jing Bo Chuan just brought her here. Jing Bo Chuan walked back to his seat and Mo Xi thanked him and gave him a thumbs-up before she turned back to face the Principal.
”Principal, I believe that a good teacher requires two quality. One, able to teach. Two, respect their students. Firstly, based on the class's results, Mrs. Wen clearly didn't teach the class well. Next, Mrs. Wen insulted all of us for being stupid, this shows that she doesn't respect any of her students. Mrs. Wen doesn't have any qualities of being a good teacher. Hence, Principal, I hope that you can agree to our bet.”
”Mrs. Wen! How could you say such things to your students! However, Mo Xi, whatever you did isn't right also, how could you chase a teacher out.”
”Principal, if Mrs. Wen really isn't capable of teaching, it would be better if you replace her earlier. Think about it. If you can raise the average scores of the school and more students from our school can enter universities, perhaps even a prestigious one, just by replacing a teacher, isn't it worth it? That way, more students would want to come to our school, our reputation would be even better. Furthermore, you wouldn't be wasting money to hire a teacher that can't teach. Moreover, it doesn't mean that Mrs. Wen would need to resign, you could just think of it as trying another way to help the students learn better. If I can't make them understand, then there isn't any damage to the school. The one that loses face would be me since I started the bet.”
The Principal's face changed after hearing what Mo Xi said, whatever Mo Xi said was right, ”Alright, I will agree to the bet.”
