    Qiao Qiao looked wary: “Do you want a reward? I’m very poor.”

    Zhou Yuanchuan couldn’t laugh or cry: “I know, you can’t pay.”

    Qiao Qiao: “…”

    Alas, having said that, you don’t have to say it directly, right?

    “Do you remember Yanyang?”

    “Of course, your…sister’s son, your nephew.” He almost said the words ‘psychotic sister’.

    Zhou Yuanchuan nodded: “I want you to accompany me to his parent-teacher meeting.”

    “Eh?”

    “It’s a very important parent-teacher meeting, but something happened to Linlang and she couldn’t come back. Yanyang asked me to come here.” Zhou Yuanchuan rubbed his eyebrows in embarrassment, “I’m not good at facing those… people and things. Going by yourself will give you a headache. Can you come with me?”

    When Qiao Qiao heard this, she thought that it was just a parent-teacher meeting, and it was really not that difficult. Judging from the great help Zhou Yuanchuan had done for her, it was worth attending a hundred parent-teacher meetings.

    The two had a pleasant lunch, and then went to a coffee shop for a cup of afternoon tea. Seeing that it was almost time, Zhou Yuanchuan called a car and took them to Yanyang’s school.

    Although he was mentally prepared, Qiao Qiao was still shocked by the grandeur of the private school in front of him after getting off the car.There happened to be people from the TV station not far away doing interviews, and the students who appeared on the scene actually answered in English…

    Qiao Qiao could only stand messy in the wind.

    If she hadn’t accompanied Zhou Yuanchuan to the parent-teacher conference, she would never have been able to enter a place like this.

    After entering the campus, I found that it was even more low-key and luxurious. Even the branches of a random tree passing by had been carefully pruned.The students coming and going on campus were also very impressive. Qiao Qiao and Zhou Yuanchuan were led to the door of Yanyang’s class by the students. When they looked inside, they saw that several parents were already sitting there.

    As soon as she and Zhou Yuanchuan arrived, everyone looked at them. After all, they were too young, and Zhou Yuanchuan was too handsome.

    The head teacher is a female teacher wearing glasses, her hair is tied up in a high ponytail, and she is very capable.When she came over, Qiao Qiao explained that she and Zhou Yuanchuan were Yanyang’s parents.

    “Oh, please sit over there.” The female teacher pointed to somewhere in the front row, “This is Yan Yang’s seat.”

    Qiao Qiao pulled Zhou Yuanchuan to sit over, but unexpectedly the female teacher also came over: “I’m sorry, are you from Yanyang…”

    Qiao Qiao pointed at Zhou Yuanchuan: “Uncle.”

    The female teacher looked at Qiao Qiao again. Before Qiao Qiao could speak, Zhou Yuanchuan spoke up. His voice was low but his words were clear: “Auntie.”

    Qiao Qiao was so excited that he blushed.

    The female teacher nodded. It seemed that it was not unusual for relatives to hold parent-teacher conferences on their behalf.

    While waiting for the parent-teacher meeting to begin, Qiao Qiao observed this classroom. The classrooms in her previous junior high school and high school were very ordinary. The blackboard seemed to never be wiped clean, and the walls were full of scratches and graffiti left by previous generations of students. There were always a few light tubes above the head that were not lit. It was not like this classroom in front of her: spacious, clean, tidy, and bright.

    Qiao Qiao bumped into Zhou Yuanchuan: “Have you ever used this kind of classroom before?”

    Zhou Yuanchuan thought for a moment: “Absolutely, but I went to junior high school and high school by skipping classes, and I only had a few years of serious class time.”

    Qiao Qiao: “…”

    Excuse me.

    She opened the drawer and found several notebooks and exercise books left by Yan Yang. Qiao Qiao casually opened a page, which was full of the child’s immature but serious handwriting.

    Alas, she couldn’t understand it at all.

    Zhou Yuanchuan came over and took a look, pointed at one of them and said, “This is the wrong place.”

    “Really?” Qiao Qiao touched his nose embarrassedly, “I can’t see anything.”

    Zhou Yuanchuan shook his head, took the exercise book, took a pen from Yanyang’s drawer, circled the wrong part, and wrote the correct steps to solve the problem next to it.

    “This question is very basic, he shouldn’t be wrong.”

    “Children are inevitably careless.”

    Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuanchuan read down a few more pages, and found that there were wrong questions on every page.

    The man’s delicate eyebrows knitted tighter and tighter, showing a rare expression of ‘unhappiness’.

    “What’s going on with Yanyang?” Zhou Yuanchuan said rudely, “I couldn’t write such an outrageous answer even if I was locked in a cellar and starved for three days.”

    “Maybe he didn’t do it himself…”

    Zhou Yuanchuan’s eyes turned around, full of confusion.

    Qiao Qiao really didn’t want to explain to him that cheating like “copying homework” still existed in the world, but he probably wouldn’t be able to understand it even if Zhou Yuanchuan knew about it.

    “I mean, maybe he borrowed other people’s answers…”

    Zhou Yuanchuan sneered when he heard this: “Then the punishment will be increased.”

    “Uh, that’s not what I meant.” Qiao Qiao quickly corrected, “Maybe he didn’t have time to finish writing before learning from it.”

    “For such a simple question, if I had time to look at other people’s answers, I would have solved it myself.”

    “Haha.” Qiao Qiao secretly wiped his sweat, “What you said makes sense…”

    She felt that it was better for her to stop trying to make up for herself. The more she tried to make things up for Yanyang, the more miserable she might be.

    At this time, all the parents had arrived, and the teacher announced that the parent-teacher meeting had officially begun.

    The previous content was lackluster. It was nothing more than an introduction to the recent situation in the class. Qiao Qiao almost fell asleep while listening to it. The teacher suddenly changed the topic and mentioned Yan Yang.

    “Yan Yang has been absent from class recently. He often asks for leave and doesn’t come to school. He doesn’t actively complete his homework. I hope his parents will pay attention to it and provide more supervision.”

    Zhou Yuanchuan frowned in disapproval.

    “Teacher.” His voice was clear and ear-catching. Most of the people in the classroom were attracted and looked over.

    Zhou Yuanchuan said calmly: “Have Yanyang’s academic performance declined?”

    The teacher was stunned for a moment, and turned over the score sheet awkwardly: “Well, that’s not true…”

    Zhou Yuanchuan: “In that case, why should we urge him to study?”

    Teacher: “Because…he always doesn’t do his homework.”

    “Is the purpose of doing homework to improve academic performance?”

    “Yes…”

    “Then, the academic performance has not declined, which means that the homework has not played a role in consolidation and review. If such unreasonably designed homework is done, it doesn’t matter whether you do it or not, right?”

    In front of more than 20 parents in the class, the teacher blushed when asked, and she couldn’t stand it at all.

    Qiao Qiao pulled Zhou Yuanchuan and whispered: “Mr. Zhou, if you have any opinions, you have to talk to the teacher alone after the meeting. You can’t say it now.”

    “Ah, is that so?” Zhou Yuanchuan smiled sheepishly, “Sorry, this is my first time for a parent-teacher conference. Teacher, please continue.”

    The female head teacher smiled, and the atmosphere relaxed a little.

    “Wait a minute.” A male teacher with a name tag came over and pushed up his glasses. “I am the dean of this grade. I would like to discuss the topic with you in depth.”

    The female teacher on the stage was a little at a loss: “This…”

    “It only takes a few minutes, because the questions raised by this parent are related to curriculum design and educational methods. If not answered in time, other parents may have doubts about the professionalism of the school and teachers.”

    He dragged a chair and sat down opposite Zhou Yuanchuan solemnly: “Parent, do you think your child does not need to do homework?”

    Zhou Yuanchuan nodded: “Because the homework did not play its due role.”

    “I understand.” The male teacher paused for a few seconds, “Do you do your homework when you go to school?”

    Zhou Yuanchuan said honestly: “Never.”

    The male teacher smiled when he heard this: “Then I understand.”

    When he smiled, other parents in the class also laughed, but the laughter was somewhat teasing. Qiao Qiao knew that these people had misunderstood. Zhou Yuanchuan’s reason for not doing homework was completely different from what they thought.

    “This is a difficulty that our teachers often encounter when doing their work. The parents we face have different backgrounds, different education levels, and different levels. Some parents can understand it, and some parents can’t. This is the meaning of holding a parent-teacher meeting…”

    The female teacher took the lead in applauding, and there was a round of applause from the audience.

    Qiao Qiao frowned when he saw Zhou Yuanchuan.

    “In this way, I will try my best to answer this question for you in plain language.” The male teacher cleared his throat, “Homework is also a feedback mechanism. By marking homework, the teacher can know how well the class has mastered the knowledge points, so homework is very necessary.”

    Zhou Yuanchuan said calmly: “You seem to have misunderstood what I meant. I never said that the homework should be cancelled.”

    “But…”

    “Yanyang is Yanyang, and everyone else is everyone else. Using the same standards to require different people, doesn’t it violate the concept of ‘teaching students in accordance with their aptitude’?”

    Male teacher: “How do you know Yanyang is special?”

    “Aren’t his grades unchanged?”

    “Just because there are no changes now, doesn’t mean there won’t be changes in the future.”

    Zhou Yuanchuan thought for a while: “Indeed, if you want to look at the problem from a developmental perspective, then wait until his grades decline before writing.”

    The male teacher couldn’t help it anymore and his tone became sharp: “Parent, since you have such insights into education, why don’t you teach your children at home? I believe you can teach them well with your ability.”

    Qiao Qiao heard these words which were quite harsh. Just when he wanted to help, Zhou Yuanchuan stopped him.

    “I don’t have time.” He said it truthfully.

    “Is it because we don’t have time, or because we can’t teach? I know that many parents can’t even solve elementary school math problems after they enter the society.”

    Zhou Yuanchuan: “That’s not true. I’m pretty good at math.”

    He always spoke unhurriedly and always looked calm and composed. The attacks the male teacher fired were like falling on cotton, without any focus at all, and would only make the attacker more and more angry.

    When the male teacher heard this, he immediately sarcastically said: “Really? I haven’t heard anyone say that for many years. Even the math teacher in our school dare not say that he is good at math.”

    Zhou Yuanchuan said nothing and only smiled slightly.

    The male teacher was furious, feeling as if he was being mercilessly mocked by this smile. He immediately said: “Then do you know what 169*36 equals?”

    He just said this number casually, and he didn’t know the answer, so he felt a little regretful after saying it. What if someone made up the number casually?You can’t just take out a calculator and verify it on the spot, right?Doesn’t this expose him as a teacher who can’t be counted?

    Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuanchuan thought about it briefly and spit out the answer: “78.”

    There were several suppressed sneers all around.

    The male teacher almost laughed after hearing this. He suddenly felt that his worries just now were all unnecessary. The man in front of him had a good skin, but his head was so empty. He didn’t even understand that multiplication means more and more. When a three-digit number is multiplied by a two-digit number, how can another two-digit number be obtained?

    “It’s a pity.” The male teacher spread his hands, “Anyone who has studied primary school mathematics knows that this answer is wrong.”

    He shook his head: “So sometimes I worry about the students. Although they can choose the best school and the best teacher, families and parents can never choose. It seems that you can’t educate your children well, so just listen to the school teachers, okay?”

    Zhou Yuanchuan smiled slightly: “You can take a square look and see.”

    “What do you mean?”

    “Literally, take a square look.”

    The male teacher took out his mobile phone doubtfully: “78…there is no integer square.”

    Zhou Yuanchuan pointed out good-naturedly: “It’s not this, it’s 169*36 square.”
