Chapter 18 The Problem of Unbalanced Education

After the group photo is completed, the photo will be posted on the school's official website and in various promotional videos. Lin Xiao will be recorded in the school's files from now on.

Of course, ranking first in the province in mathematics competition is enough to enter the school history.

After the group photo ended, Principal Hu said: "The scholarship will be credited to your bank card. It's not safe to hold it in your hand after all. If you don't have a bank card, you can apply for one in advance."

"Yes." Lin Xiao nodded, the school had considered it carefully.

"Okay, let's stop here first. Oh, the school will also help you pay for your participation in the Olympic competition. Then you can just represent our Jincheng High School in the competition."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao was even more grateful to the school. The cost of participating in the Olympiad is about two to three thousand yuan, which is more than the 2,000 yuan reward. After all, you have to go back and forth, and you have to stay and eat there, so the money spent is naturally high. More.

Now he doesn't even have to pay the money, of course he is happy.

"Thank you school!"

"Haha, okay, if you want to thank the school, then help the school bring more honors. We at Jincheng High School are very much looking forward to your achieving even better results in the Olympiad!"

"Yes! I will!"

Principal Hu nodded happily and said no more.

Ding Ping said: "Okay, you go down first. After the flag-raising ceremony, you come to my office and I will tell you about the bonus."

"OK."

Lin Xiao nodded and then returned to his class.

Next, naturally, he had to be watched by his classmates. A bunch of classmates came up to express their desire to hug him or ask Lin Xiao to tutor him in mathematics.

Now, the students in the first science class have realized that a scholar-level figure has officially appeared in their class. In the future, Tsinghua University, Peking University and the like are completely out of the question. Maybe if the family has some money, they can go abroad. Studying abroad.

720 in the mock test and 300 in the math competition. So that’s probably what students in the junior class of HKUST are like?

Of course, Lin Xiao was not too complacent about the reactions of his classmates. He had already expected this moment. Moreover, with his 2.75% brain development, his ability to control his emotions has also improved, so he just said I will definitely tutor them when I have time.

At the same time, he was still thinking in his heart, why didn't the system reward him?

If you win the first place in the competition, you are not allowed to receive rewards?

I was rewarded for being first in grade last time, so it should be more difficult to be first in the competition, right?

Unfortunately, the system just didn't respond to him.

This made him feel depressed. Could it be that the National League didn't recognize it?

Wouldn’t that mean a national Olympiad or even a World Olympiad?

He couldn't help but feel helpless and had no choice but to give up "asking for salary" from the system.

…

Soon, the flag-raising ceremony was over and Lin Xiao found Ding Ping's office.

The last time I came to this office was the last time.

At that time, other teachers didn't know him yet, but now, when they see him, they ask him if he is the student who got perfect marks in the competition.

Then he praised him so hard that he felt embarrassed, so Ding Ping pulled him over.

Pulling Lin Xiao to sit in front of him, Ding Ping said with a smile: "How do you feel? Do you feel that all your previous efforts were worth it?"

Lin Xiao touched her nose and said, "You don't have to... try harder, right?"

Others study hard, but he enjoys studying. Of course, he does not feel that he is studying hard.

Ding Ping was helpless at his answer, but well, maybe he was really a super talented player?

So I didn't bother to talk to him, and then said: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about your competition first."

Ding Ping said with a smile: "Guess, what is the first score line for your province in this competition?"

Lin Xiao thought for a moment and then replied: "200 points?"

Ding Ping laughed and said, "Guess again."

Lin Xiao frowned: "220? That's a bit high."

Ding Ping shook his head: "Of course it's not that high. You also know the difficulty of your set of papers. Forget it, let's not give in."

Then he stretched out a finger and said: "108 points."

Lin Xiao suddenly opened his mouth and said in disbelief: "Huh? Only 108? It can't be so difficult, I got full marks."

Ding Ping said speechlessly: "Can people be the same? This year, the score line for our provincial team is only 167, which means that if you score 167 or above, you can participate in CMO. There are only 12 people in our province, and we have 300 points in the province. You are the only one, and the second place only scored 267 points. It is not clear who can get full marks nationwide. Most of the results in other provinces have not been released yet, but it is estimated that there are not many people who can get full marks. Nationwide It’s rare to have 10 of them.”

"Now you know what your 300 points means, right?"

Lin Xiao touched his nose and nodded.

The score line is actually so low, and the lower it is, the more difficult it is. His score of 300 is completely outrageous.

So after thinking about it, his mind shifted to the system again.

If it's so difficult and you don't give a reward, the system is going too far.

"Okay, this is about your competition. In addition, on November 13th this year, you are going to Hangzhou to participate in the Olympiad Winter Camp. On November 12th, you can leave for Xijing. Xijing Mathematical Society Responsible for hiring people to lead your provincial team members to Hangzhou. Your expenses will be paid by the school, so you don’t have to worry about this. If your family members also plan to go, your family members will have to pay for it themselves. ”

Lin Xiao nodded: "I know."

"Well, so there are still about twenty days. During this period, you should keep practicing more and doing more. During this period, I collected the CMO test papers from previous years and printed them out. There are also some national training team training questions in them. The questions, IMO, I also picked some more classic ones, you can take them back and do them during this period." Ding Ping said, he moved a box from the side, opened it, and saw that it was all printed with Mathematics papers.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel touched. Ding Ping actually collected these things specifically for him. How much energy and time did it take?

"Thank you, Teacher Ding!" He said in a very sincere tone, "I will definitely finish them all."

"That's not necessary." Ding Ping waved his hands with a smile and said, "You can just choose and do it yourself. Once you finish it, there will be too many questions. You should mainly choose some questions that you think are meaningful. If you feel there are problems when you do it, If you want, you can come to me."

"Yes, I understand." Lin Xiao nodded heavily.

"Okay, let's stop here. This is what I can do for you. You also know the situation in our school. There are not many places that can help. Schools like those in Xijing compete for how many students they have in the college entrance examination every year. Ranked among the top 10 in the province, among the top 50 and among the 100, how many students have entered Qingbei, and our school is still guaranteeing a first-class rate."

"With your results, if schools in Xijing offer scholarships of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and private schools may give out 100,000 yuan, we can only give 2,000 yuan. We have a meeting this morning and are still discussing it for you. 1,000 or 2,000, in the end it is the principal who decides to give you 2,000."

Lin Xiao nodded. Jincheng City is located in Qinnan and is a poor city. Therefore, it is also very poor in terms of education. There are also very few resources allocated to Jincheng Middle School, a public high school.

Just like if he had had the results he had now when he graduated from the third year of junior high school, he probably would not have gone to school in Jincheng Middle School, but would have gone to Xijing.

All in all, education imbalance exists across the country and in various provinces, and students like them can only bear this imbalance.
