My courtyard shelter

Xu Dong became more and more excited as he chatted, gradually attracting many parents to come around. One parent took the opportunity to ask:

"Dad Xu, I heard that the electricity bill will increase again next month. Is it true?"

"I haven't heard of this." Xu Dong said cautiously.

"You haven't heard of it, so it must be fake. Just don't increase the price. If it continues to increase, this life will really be unbearable."

This statement suddenly resonated with many parents.

"Who says it's not the case? Prices are increasing every three days, but there is no wage increase. The world is getting worse and worse."

"The most disgusting thing is the housing price. My family had finally managed to raise the down payment for a second apartment, but the housing price has increased to this point. Now let alone the down payment, we can't even afford a bathroom."

The down payment ratio for a second home in Yanjing is generally not less than 60%. This shows how crazy housing prices have risen during this period.

"Have you seen this month's ration quota? It's less than last month. If it continues like this, we're really going to lose weight."

"Isn't that right? My family still had ten kilograms of rice in February, but this month we only have six kilograms left. Not to mention the adults, even the children don't have enough to eat."

"My family Dayuan was still clamoring for meat yesterday. I beat him up and he calmed down a lot. Now, where can I buy meat for him?"

"Mom Dayuan, you did a good job. The child is too ignorant now. You have to hit him when it's time to hit him. You can't be soft-hearted."

Seeing the sudden change in painting style, Xu Dong was a little at a loss and could only nod along with him.

Fortunately, after a while, the parent-teacher meeting finally started.

Teacher Ding, the head teacher, walked up to the podium with a serious expression. Many parents realized that today's parent-teacher meeting was a little unusual.

"Dear parents, time flies really fast, and the new semester has begun again. Here, I would like to thank all parents for their understanding, support and cooperation in all aspects of the school's work!"

After Teacher Ding finished speaking, he bowed to everyone, and the parents applauded in return.

"In this parent-teacher meeting, we mainly cover three aspects: one is the class style; the other is a review of the final exam results of last semester; and the third is about the education reform topic that has been making a lot of noise recently."

Teacher Ding opened his notebook and began to introduce them one by one.

"First of all, when it comes to class style, there are two things I have to mention. The first thing is the spring outing organized by the school last month. The students performed very well.

Here is an article written by classmate Li Yuebai about his reflections on spring outing. Let me read it to you. This article is not only beautifully written, but also has a profound idea. "

Below, Li's mother whispered to Xu Dong beside her: "My daughter's article."

Xu Dong quickly gave a thumbs up, saying that he was not envious would be a lie.

The article was not very long, and Teacher Ding finished it in less than five minutes, and there was another round of applause.

"At the same time, I would also like to praise Xu Ke and Xu Le."

Hearing this, Xu Dong immediately sat up straight, while Mother Li's face was full of confusion.

“On the last spring outing, the school required students to bring their own food rations, and everyone knows that food is tight now.

But classmates Xu Ke and Xu Le still brought a very substantial amount of ingredients. This willingness to share is worth encouraging. "

"Pa bang bang..."

The applause below was obviously much weaker, and Xu Dong couldn't even laugh or cry. What kind of praise is this?

"Okay, the second thing is that our class achieved second place in the radio gymnastics competition organized by the school. The students rehearse very seriously every day. This competitive spirit is very contagious."

"Pa bang bang..."

Next is the final grade review. Xu Dong listened carefully throughout the process. This is the attitude a responsible parent should have.

The grades of both sisters are average.

Lele was very partial to mathematics, but fortunately she did well in her Chinese final essay, an article called "My Police Dad", which allowed Teacher Ding to see progress.

It also made Xu Dong's face look a little brighter.

Next comes the highlight of this parent-teacher meeting, the topic of education reform.

It will impact every student.

"Recently, there have been a lot of rumors about educational reform in the market. Here, I can tell you with certainty that the educational reform is true, but it is not as exaggerated as the rumors say." Teacher Ding said.

"Teacher Ding, please tell us quickly." Mother Li immediately requested.

"OK."

Teacher Ding nodded:

"The first is the college entrance examination. Although the college entrance examination is still far away from our students, as parents and teachers, we need to be aware of it in advance.

Starting from this year, the number of undergraduate admissions will be sharply reduced. The specific number has not yet been announced.

But what is certain is that the liberal arts will be the most reduced. It is said that the ratio of liberal arts and science will reach an astonishing one to nine. "

Some parents immediately became anxious: "My child is not good at math, what should I do?"

“Is the art major affected?”

"If I can't get into college, can I only go to junior college?"

Teacher Ding knocked on the table to silence everyone, and then said: "I can't answer your questions now, but it is said that the higher-ups want to revitalize vocational education."

"Vocational education? How can this be done? The diploma is too low. How can I find a job in the future?"

"Ahem..."

Xu Dong coughed heavily. As someone who has experienced this, he felt it was necessary to teach these parents a lesson.

"Dad Xu, do you have anything to say?" Teacher Ding asked curiously.

Xu Dong nodded: "I have a friend who works in the Ministry of Education, and I got some inside information."

"Dad Xu, please tell me!" Mother Li urged.

"Speaking of vocational education, don't worry. Vocational education is not as bad as everyone imagines. Especially for students with poor academic performance, at least it is a good way out."

"Dad Xu, please explain clearly!"

"In fact, the reason is very simple, because the state guarantees the placement of vocational education, and all the students go to state-owned enterprises. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

"What? Guaranteed placement? How is it possible?"

Teacher Ding was also at a loss. Her first job was guaranteed to be assigned, but the school was in the countryside, and she waited for more than ten years before being transferred back to the city.

Xu Dong waved his hand: "Nothing is impossible. Now the country has entered a state of emergency. In addition, the state is advancing and the private sector is retreating, so it is natural to guarantee the placement."

When everyone thought about it, they felt that it made sense. Moreover, the unemployment rate is so high now. If there is no guaranteed placement, young people will really have no way out.

But, can the country provide so many jobs?

"What Mr. Xu said makes sense. Let's just listen to him. The children are still young, so there's no need to rush." ​​Teacher Ding agreed.

"My eldest child will take the college entrance examination this year. How can we not be anxious?" One parent couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Dong quickly comforted: "It's better to be admitted to a university. If not, it's also good to go directly to a vocational college. They are the first batch this year, and they must have the best job opportunities."
