Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 42: Transfer Controversy
The damage to the reputation of the village primary school provided Hu Qiongfang with an excellent opportunity.
Jiang Tian didn't expect that Ms. Hu was actually a black-bellied person at heart.
After hearing some gossip in the village about whether Jiang Cheng would become disabled, Hu Qiongfang and decisively extended her son's vacation for a few more days.
Then, with a pair of red eyes, she went to the school to complete the transfer procedures for her son.
The principal was a little surprised.
These days, very few children in the village transfer to other schools.
Firstly, the cost of living in the village is low and the village primary school is very close to home. Unless the whole family moves somewhere else, who would bother to transfer their children to another school?
The principal thought so at first. He thought that the matter could just be swept under the rug. Could parents really transfer their child to another school just because of something as trivial as a fight?
He still wanted to continue fooling Hu Qiongfang by saying that "it's normal for boys to fight and play around."
Unexpectedly, Hu Qiongfang burst into tears.
While crying, he made a fuss and demanded to go to the Education Commission to ask for an explanation.
Anyway, she doesn't dare to send her son to the village primary school now.
Her husband is gone and she only has this one son. If her son is beaten to death, what's the point of her living?
If the principal doesn't let her son transfer to another school today, she won't let Jiang Cheng come back to school.
"If I don't go to school, I can go home and farm and live well."
"If he goes back to school, what if he gets beaten to death one day? I only have this one son!"
Nowadays, in their rural area, if there is one thing more tragic than "the death of a husband", it must be "a widow losing her only son". What hope is there for her in life?
The principal was so upset by her crying that he felt very reluctant to let go of such a good student like Jiang Cheng.
They even had high expectations for Jiang Cheng, hoping that he could get good grades in the whole township in the entrance examination from primary school to junior high school and bring honor to their village primary school.
If the principal had known that this incident would cause Jiang Cheng’s mother to want to transfer him to another school, he would not have protected those naughty kids.
However, the meal had been eaten and the cigarettes, alcohol and tea given by the parents had been accepted. Now, the principal turned hostile and wanted to punish those naughty children. The principal also knew that this was not the right thing to do.
If he did it, and the fact that he accepted gifts was exposed, his job as principal would be over.
Unexpectedly, Hu Qiongfang wanted more than just a punishment.
The principal was reluctant to let Jiang Cheng transfer to another school.
Hu Qiongfang said that it was okay not to transfer schools, but the school must expel the students who beat others.
Anyway, as long as we have Jiang Cheng, we can't have those guys who beat people up. Principal, you can handle it yourself.
headmaster:"… …"
After much fuss and persuasion, Hu Qiongfang insisted that those students either transfer to another school or be expelled.
There was no other choice but for the principal to stamp his approval and agree to the transfer.
Seeing Hu Qiongfang put away the consent form for transfer, the principal was a little annoyed and said to her with a fake smile:
"Which school doesn't have children fighting and quarreling? Jiang Cheng's mother, your child wants to be expelled just because he has been wronged. Which school will dare to accept your child in the future?"
To transfer schools these days, in addition to the approval stamp of the transferring school, there must also be a school willing to accept the student.
Unexpectedly, the principal's words did not cause any mental harm to Ms. Hu at all.
Hu Qiongfang raised her head and said confidently:
"The government has said that nine years of compulsory education is the right of every child."
"If no school in the village is willing to accept my son Jiang Cheng, I will go to the county education committee to ask for an explanation and see if they can take care of this matter."
"If the county education committee doesn't care, I'll go to the provincial government, contact the TV stations, and find newspapers. I don't believe there is no justice in this world."
"I would like to ask the leaders of the Education Commission, why can the one who beat others sit in the classroom and attend class, while the one who was beaten cannot even go to school."
After saying that, he walked away.
The principal stayed behind, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and quickly called an acquaintance in the Education Commission.
Oh my god, if Hu Qiongfang really reports this to the newspaper, their entire county’s education system will be in big trouble.
If I had known, I wouldn't have accepted those things...
Little did they know that Hu Qiongfang was also feeling very nervous at this moment.
After all, she is just an ordinary citizen. Threatening the principal in person is one thing, but if she is really asked to go to the newspaper to find a reporter and expose the county education committee, she really doesn't have the courage to do so.
But it is obvious that, as the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
Hu Qiongfang didn't have the courage to do so, but the principal was afraid that if she was pushed into a corner, or if other schools really didn't want Jiang Cheng, she would be left with no other options and might really report them.
After much deliberation, the principal decided to actively carry out self-rescue actions.
He rode his bicycle to the township central primary school and found the principal of the school.
It didn't take much talking. All he had to do was show Jiang Cheng's final exam scores from grade one to grade four, and Principal Xu of the Central Primary School happily agreed to accept Jiang Cheng.
After that, he asked again, still worried: "Such a good seedling, you really don't want it?"
There is no way. The Chinese people's vigilance is inherited from their ancestors. It is normal for people to be suspicious of good things that fall from the sky.
Principal Liu Ping smiled bitterly and told about Jiang Cheng's family situation, then complained that he was also in a difficult situation.
"You can't really fire those naughty kids just to keep Jiang Cheng, right?"
Principal Xu narrowed his eyes, rolled his eyes, and then sighed, "In that case, let Jiang Cheng come to our school to study."
Liu Ping's words might fool the villagers, but not his colleagues.
Isn't school discipline managed by teachers?
Liu Ping is a good-for-nothing. He was actually controlled by the parents of some naughty boys.
Speaking of which, if Jiang Cheng’s situation happened at their school, wouldn’t it be difficult to handle?
Just call the parents of these naughty kids over and ask them whether they will take care of their kids or not? If not, just hand them over to the school and educate them properly.
Are you worried about their education? That's fine, you can take the children home and spoil them however you want.
Spoiling a child is like killing him. If you don't educate him well when he is young, just like what the villagers say, he will beat his classmates until their legs are broken at such a young age. When he grows up, won't he kill people, set fires, and get shot?
After this round of intimidation, I guarantee that the parents of these naughty kids won’t dare to say a word.
You also have to treat the school to a meal and give gifts so that the school won't expel your child.
Expulsion and transfer are different, hehe~ Principal Xu is willing to accept Jiang Cheng because this kid has good academic performance and it is not his fault that he is bullied. He will only bring honor to the school if he is admitted.
Unlike those students who were expelled for fighting, unless their parents are willing to spend money, it will have to be a lot, from the principal to the class teacher, every link has to be involved.
Otherwise, which school would dare to accept such a troublemaker?
