Chapter 311: Chapter 311 Teacher Resignation
Mr. Bai started the class.
Before beginning the lesson, he addressed the entire class: "Class, these will be my last two sessions. Next time, Teacher Zhou from Class 2 will take over the English lesson. This is a temporary arrangement; next semester, you might have a new English teacher."
The whole class was in an uproar.
They really liked Mr. Bai.
The teachers at Huishi High School are either too domineering, which makes it hard for the students to breathe, or too weak, which makes the students look down on them. Only Mr. Bai is different.
He governs with virtue, neither domineering nor weak, and has always treated the students well.
Mr. Bai is indisputably the students’ favorite teacher.
The English scores of Class 1 in the second year have consistently been the highest in their year, leading by seven or eight points, which is quite an achievement.
More importantly, Mr. Bai is also a seasoned educator in London, holding a very high position.
Huishi has direct passage programs with two universities in London, both excellent schools. Mr. Bai can support and guide them, making it a unique resource for Class 1 in the second year.
Unexpectedly, before they could start utilizing this, Mr. Bai was resigning.
"Teacher, is it because of the rumors on the forum?" The English class representative stood up, her eyes a bit red.
Although her English scores had significantly declined, it wasn’t Mr. Bai’s fault, nor was it her own reason; it was because other students had improved too quickly.
She stayed the same, making it seem like she wasn’t working hard.
Even so, she still really liked Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai sighed: "I didn’t want to keep it from you, but it is indeed because of that incident. At my age, I can’t withstand it."
"Teacher, it’s fake, we all saw it!"
"Sheng Tang provided the real video, everyone saw it, it had nothing to do with you."
"Teacher, don’t leave. We have only a year and a half until graduation. Please stay with us; other teachers who come won’t genuinely care for our class!"
Everyone chimed in.
Mr. Bai raised his hand to quiet them: "I originally didn’t want to mention this, but since everyone is so worried, I’ll share it in advance: next semester’s English teacher is my friend. I recommended him to come here.
He also has teaching experience in London and graduated from a university through the direct passage program. He is younger than me and will have more experiences to share with you."
The students quietened down a bit.
Sheng Tang had been silent, feeling particularly guilty.
Because of her, Mr. Bai got dragged into this mess; because he cared for her the most, he ended up suffering such unjust disaster.
Mr. Bai probably wanted to work at Huishi until retirement. Even if he lightly mentioned it, this was indeed his career.
Sheng Tang lowered her head, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Mr. Bai suddenly said, "I also want to thank Sheng Tang. If it weren’t for her finding the original video, I would probably be under investigation by the education bureau now."
Everyone turned to look at Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang raised her head and forced a smile.
"I hope that in the future, no matter what you encounter, you all stay calm and composed, just like Sheng Tang did," Mr. Bai added.
Someone started clapping.
Sheng Tang accepted this kindness.
In the next two classes, Mr. Bai barely taught the lesson because the curriculum had been completed, and the final exams were approaching, making it the time for systematic review.
Mr. Bai talked a lot about non-class-related topics.
He first spoke about Huishi’s direct passage programs to foreign universities; if not selected, then the option is to apply for overseas universities; he discussed how to take the exams, how to interview, and life after going abroad.
