066 For Whom Does the Bell Toll? (1)

flap-

I grabbed the corner of the mock exam paper and turned it over slowly.

The texture of the paper that touched my fingertips was somehow new.

I’ve solved dozens of mock exam papers from five years ago until now, but I’ve never been as happy as I am at passing the exam papers like these days.

This is because there were many times when even a high-level problem with a very low correct answer rate came up before that, and after struggling for a long time, I barely solved the problem and was relieved.

But these days.

5. Among the following, which of the underlined parts is not properly spaced?

① The room was quiet enough to hear breathing.

② You will surely get a reward for your efforts.

③ I can do it as much as you want.

④ You must prepare thoroughly for the rigorous inspection.

⑤ His behavior changed as much as the grown-up was violently harassed.

These problems are easy to get wrong if done wrong.

‘It’s number four.’

The answer was obvious.

Could it be caused by USB?

As if someone was giving the answer in their head, the potentially confusing problems were solved so easily.

So, after solving all the questions from 1 to 45 and finishing the marking, about 40 minutes left for the exam.

‘Can I see you in 30 minutes next time?’

I put my exam papers together and shook my head.

Then I saw the students taking the exam with their impressions on them.

‘Everyone still has a long way to go.’

I shrugged my shoulders and thought.

Now that I have passed all the exams, it is time to be faithful to my role as a supervisor.

I shook my head and looked around.

Then I saw students taking the exam with their desks slightly wider than usual.

In high school, it would be common to take the exam in a strict atmosphere with the desk spaced apart like the entrance exam hall, but the mock exam scene at the retake academy was very different from that.

A little free atmosphere.

No, there was an atmosphere in the classroom that looked more like neglect than freedom.

‘It’s unimaginable in high school.’

In high school, it is often the case that students’ grades and ranks are determined by their mock test scores.

Therefore, the school has no choice but to keep the distance between students and closely supervise them.

However, the meaning of the mock exam was slightly different for retakers.

For them, the mock test was just a tool to check their grades.

Of course, they did not overlook the importance of mock exams.

However, there were few fools who cheated to do well on the mock exams like they did in high school.Thanks to this, it was really convenient for me to supervise the mock exams at the Jaesoo Academy.

Because most of them focused on their own exams, regardless of whether the supervisor saw them or not.

So, unless you’re taking a test like me, it was common to endure 80 minutes reading a book or using your smartphone.

‘If it’s the same, I don’t have to do it either.’

It was a place where I applied for solving problems and observing students taking exams.

If I’m going to keep my sense of the SAT anyway, it’s better to solve problems with the students than to solve problems by myself in the office.

But then.

A student behaving strangely caught my eye.

It was a young-looking girl sitting in the middle of the classroom.

There are about 20 minutes left until the end of the exam, so students are frantically reading the passages and interpreting their works.

Most of the students were frantically solving problems without even paying attention to the people around them, and only one student was not concentrating on the test paper and was doing something else.

‘what?’

I tilted her head and looked at her.

Then I noticed that she looked around her and fluttered her clothes or drank a drink she had placed on her desk.

If it was normal, it looked normal.

However

Somehow I was annoyed by her actions.

First of all, her expression itself was not an expression of struggling to solve a test, but an expression of looking at someone’s attention.

I quickly got up from my seat.

Then he slowly approached her, looking at her hiding among her students.

Then I could see why she had been bothering me ever since.

she approached

‘Are you stupid?’

She was cheating.

* * *

Tok tok-

Suddenly someone tapped on the shoulder.

I glanced around and saw an English instructor sitting next to me.

“Mr. Kim. What do you think?”

He leaned over the partition, sipping his coffee.

“Oh, I was just thinking about something else for a second.”

When I answered, he tilted his head.

“okay? Then you probably didn’t hear about the meeting later, did you?”

It was the first story I heard. Maybe it was a story that came out when I was thinking differently.

As I nodded, the English teacher opened her mouth with an expression of ‘Yeah’.

“We will meet in the conference room chaired by the general manager later, so you know that. Judging from the looks of it, it looks like we’re getting together for this mock exam, but you can’t come without the teacher.”

Then, with a smile, he spit out sounds like, ‘It’s okay if the main character doesn’t come out.’

“·················ogue.”

Thanks to you, the things I thought about a while ago have disappeared from my mind.

I looked at the papers on the table.

Then I remembered what I had been thinking about for a while.

[July Mock Test Provisional Score and Overall Evaluation (Humanities)][Name: Lee Arin]

It was the idea of ​​a student cheating during a mock exam.

On the provisional scoring table with the student’s name, the score that the student scored in the mock test was recorded.

[Language Level 1, Math Level 2, Foreign Language Level 2, Satan Level 1]

It was a good score just looking at the provisional score.

It wasn’t the best, but it was about the top.

But I couldn’t believe her score because I knew how it was made.

‘It must be a score made from cheating.’

Yesterday, I pondered for a moment when I was convinced she was cheating on her.

She approaches her and decides whether to stop cheating on her or whether she will help her cheat on her or not.

After thinking for a while, I decided not to sanction her cheating.

Because she didn’t have to interfere with her other students’ exams to stop her cheating.

“·················ogue.”

OK.

A common-sense person would know very well that cheating doesn’t do anything good for him, so why would he do such a thing? I thought

But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out why.

All I knew about her was that she was 23 and she was preparing for her entrance exam, her fourth year.

‘She’ll want to get out of there quickly if she’s four.’

If I didn’t know about her, I thought I’d ask someone she knew well.

I looked to the side.

Then I saw an English instructor pouring coffee into his mouth.

As someone who had been at this academy for a long time, he seemed to know the students better than me.

“Teacher.”

When I called, the English lecturer, who had given me an empty coffee cup, looked at me.

“Do you know a student named Lee Arin?”

Then he immediately nodded.

“Oh, is it him? What else did he do?

Hearing that, it seemed like he was a pretty famous student.

However, it was a bit unfair to openly say, ‘He is cheating’.

“no. There is a big difference between the provisional scores and the June mock test scores.”



I turned around and spoke, and he clicked his tongue and opened his mouth.

“Teacher. Don’t trust her score. Provisional marks or mock test scores. Because he is famous for playing around with his grades every day.”

Looking at the way she shakes her head, it seems that her previous record was splendid.“Do you know why?”

she asked in a cautious tone.

Then he shrugged his shoulders and opened his mouth.

“I don’t know what. My father is a member of the National Assembly, so there is no rush. He seems to want to enjoy life. It’s going to be hard for other people, but does she care about things like that?”

It was an unexpected story.

I thought it was pretty cute looking and neatly dressed, but compared to the other students, I didn’t look like much.

However, a question naturally arises.

‘Why is such a student here?’

was a question.

No, because there seemed to be no reason for a student who is the size of a member of the National Assembly to be taking the same classes as other students here.

But the question was immediately resolved.

“When I listened to it, it seemed to be organized because the atmosphere was cloudy even in other places. Anyway, he doesn’t study every year and he does strange things every day, so the other teachers also gave up on him. So the teacher doesn’t even care about him.”

he said, biting his tongue. Seeing him snort and shake his head, he seemed to have confidence in his words.

“Still, if you look at our academy, don’t you think you are going to college?”

When I asked, the English instructor looked at me like he was sorry and said,

“Is he going to college? He can’t go.”

Then he smiles softly and continues talking.

“I can go. But do you know where he says he wants to go every time he talks? It’s Seoyul University. It’s Seoyul University. I can’t go anywhere other than there, but how can a kid who jokes around with grades every day go to Seoyul University?”

And then put on a sad face.

“Still, it is worth it. It would be great if he just sent him to college. After all, I sent the daughter of a member of the National Assembly to college, what would that be normal? But there must be some way to send it. The student record is the worst, the grades are ambiguous, and there is no donation admission like in the past…”

After speaking up to this point, he takes a deep breath and looks back at me.

“So the teacher just doesn’t care and thinks he’s just a non-existent person. Even so, he’s a good kid, so he doesn’t do bad things to the teacher. Aren’t you lucky?”

Then he snorts her and shakes her head.

It must have been difficult for him to understand why she was acting like that.

‘You don’t seem to want to know anything.’

But I wanted to know.

After all, she was a student in my class.

Like everyone else, I didn’t want to pass it on by saying, ‘He’s just that kind of kid.

The other instructors seemed to think her skills were ‘unprofessional’, but I had a different opinion with them.

‘Because it was amazing just looking at your creativity.’

When it comes to cheating, I thought that she usually wrote mathematical formulas on simple paper, so her cheating was beyond my imagination.

And considering that her language domain is a difficult subject to make her cheating papers on, it doesn’t seem like she’s very capable of it.

As I said, if you really don’t know, you can’t even make a cheat sheet.

I slowly contemplated her face.

I remembered her white face.

The expression she made when she bumped into me.

And when I didn’t recognize her, I remembered her changing face.

It was too good to throw it away like this.
