Chapter 35 Goal: Graduation Early
Author: Bei Guoxia
It has been four days since Lin Kedi entered the Ajax second team.
On days when he practiced twice a day, he also practiced for two days.
Because one day, Lin Kedi was going to class.
April 2, 2017, today is the fifth day, and on this day, Lin Kedi has to go to class again.
Lin Kedi decided to find out about early graduation today. (The author really knows a lot about the high school system in the Netherlands, and after searching, there is not much information.)
After the first English literature class, Lin Kedi found Lin Wuna.
"Classmate Xiaolin, let me ask you something."
"Mysterious, what can't be said in the classroom?"
"Nothing else, I just want to ask about early graduation. Do you know how to handle this matter?"
"Graduate early?"
"Keep your voice down——"
"I speak Chinese, what are you afraid of - I know a little bit about graduating early."
"Then, what's going on and how to operate it?"
"It's mentioned in the student handbook of Notre Dame High School. Didn't you even read it when it was sent to you?"
"Is there any? Then I'll go back and take a look."
"Forget it, I'll tell you directly. Here's the thing - you need to apply to the school first, and complete the remaining required courses within one semester or two semesters. To put it simply, if you plan to
If you are going to graduate early before the end of this semester, then we have four semesters of courses left, and you have to finish them all, and then take the exam at the end of this semester and finish the remaining four semesters of content in one go.
"
"It sounds very difficult."
"Yes, it's quite difficult, but there is actually a backdoor to this matter."
"Back door? I don't have any money."
"It's not about money, it's about shortcuts. Since there are compulsory credits, there are also elective credits. I don't know about other schools, but in Notre Dame High School, elective credits can be used to offset the content of the early graduation credit exam. You can even choose.
For example, if you want to graduate early, you need 4 semester credits. If your elective content has 10 credits, then you
You can use these 10 credits to offset the credits of the compulsory content. For example, I know that each semester of mathematics is 3 credits, and 4 semesters is 12 credits. You can use 10 credits to offset the 12 credits of mathematics.
Of the 10, the remaining content will only be tested for 2 credits. Then the content of the exam will be greatly reduced!"
"Here, Frankie didn't mention this at all!"
"Who's Frankie?"
"My teammate, he told me this."
"Each school may have different rules. Your teammate's high school may not have this rule. Speaking of teammates, I haven't congratulated you on being promoted to the second team."
"You know it too?"
“It’s written on Ajax’s official Instagram.”
"Okay, now the point is, what elective credits are available at Notre Dame High School?"
"There are many. As you know, high schools in Europe and the United States attach great importance to studies and extracurricular activities. Now you have to train after class every day. I think these should be regarded as credits for extracurricular activities. You can go to the Student Management Office
Ask."
"Where is the student administration office?"
"Brother, I'm really impressed. You've been studying here for almost a year, and yet you still don't know where the student management office is?"
"I've never taken classes there, so it's normal for me not to know."
"Just walk to the end of the fourth floor of the teaching building, where there is a sign."
"Okay, I'll go ask after a while."
——
Taking advantage of the end of another get out of class, Lin Kedi came to the student management office on the fourth floor of the teaching building.
Knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock."
"Please come in."
"Mr. Lister——"
Lin Kedi glanced at the name sign on the table in front of him.
"Who are you?"
"I am Lin Kedi——"
"Oh, are you that Ajax player?"
"Currently a player on the second team."
"I understand, you want to ask about early graduation, right?"
"How do you know?"
"I just heard from my daughter the day before yesterday that a student from our school has been promoted to the Ajax second team. This is the first one in the past five years. And five years ago, we handled a similar matter."
"So, is it okay?"
"Of course it is possible. Ajax is our business card in Amsterdam and is famous throughout Europe and the world. And Ajax and our Notre Dame High School belong to the same community. No matter from any point of view, we
Everything must be facilitated. You were able to train while studying, and you were promoted to the second team of Ajax. Plus, let me see your grades last semester -
—Well, it’s very good. It means that you are a good student who can study and play sports at the same time. Now if you want to play in the professional league, of course we will not stop you. Of course, you can graduate early. It is in our school’s regulations.
There is a rule that when students are engaged in special jobs such as performing arts, sports, art, etc., the hours of these jobs can be converted into corresponding credits at a certain ratio."
"Is it a game? Or does training also count? Does it count from when I was promoted to the second team, or how?"
"Of course this aspect starts when he is promoted to the second team, and training also counts. I can give you a form now. Look, this is the form we made for the player who was promoted to the second team 5 years ago.
.”
Lin Kedi looked at the computer screen aside.
"Martins-Taylor"
Lin Kedi searched his mind and found that he did not recognize this player.
But it was hard to ask now, so he decided to go home and search.
Now, Lin Kedi studied it carefully.
"In other words, I can accumulate 4 credits for a week of training, 2 credits for starting a game and 1 credit for coming on as a substitute in a game. If I play 60 minutes or more, I can earn 2 more credits. So if everything goes well.
, you can apply in advance to graduate with credits in November this year.”
"Isn't there a test?"
"What we have planned for Martins Taylor before is this pure credit graduation system that does not require taking exams. I think this plan is more suitable for you. But if you are promoted to the first team in the end, our school may need you to come to the school to participate.
An honorary alumni speech and related activities. But these things may be early, I just want to tell you first."
Lin Kedi finally walked out of the door holding the relevant information given by Liszt.
Overall, graduating early went very smoothly for Lin Kedi.
Lin Kedi really didn't expect it to be done so smoothly.
When he reached the stairs on the fourth floor, Lin Kedi turned on his mobile phone and searched for "Martins Taylor".
The result is another person whose name can't even be found on Google.
Maybe he never got a chance to play after being promoted to the second team, or maybe he transferred and left not long after.
