Chapter Twenty-Six Taking a Method We Don't Understand
Lin Zhiyuan frowned and said: "According to what Principal Wang said, this Gao Fan's usual grades are not very outstanding. So, is he more partial in chemistry?"
Wang Xianxin was stunned, but he did not dare to answer directly. Instead, he asked: "What does Teacher Lin mean by this question? I don't quite understand."
He Mei made a gesture to Lin Zhiyuan, and then said: "There is no need to hide this matter from Principal Wang. The situation is like this. This time, the results of the provincial chemistry competition have been determined. There are three in total in the province.
Two students received full marks in the competition, two of them are from Ruizhang. We have learned that they are students with very good grades. It is not surprising to achieve such results. There is also one, Gao Fan, whom we just mentioned.
"
"What? Gao Fanhua got full marks in the competition!" Wang Xianxin's surprise was no small matter.
Wang Xianxin naturally knew about the chemistry competition. After Wen Xiaojian came back, he reported to Wang Xianxin, saying that Huang Chunyan and the others had made some mistakes. It was estimated that Cang No. 1 Middle School would still not get the first prize this year. One or two
There should still be hope for the second prize.
When Wen Xiaojian reported the situation to Wang Xianxin, he didn't say a word about Gaofan, and Wang Xianxin didn't ask. Everyone knew in their hearts that Gao Fan was just here to get a free third-class prize. As long as his performance was not too bad, he wouldn't let the school fail.
That's all. Winning first and second prizes has nothing to do with him.
But for such a transparent person, it was suddenly revealed that Huajing had received full marks and was one of only three candidates with perfect marks in the province. How could this not shock Wang Xianxin?
If Gao Fan just had an outburst of character and won a second prize or even a first prize, Wang Xianxin just felt lucky and happy. The subject competition tested some weird questions, and sometimes some people just happened to be lucky.
Chance.
But full marks and an ordinary first prize are two different things. There are so many outstanding students in the province. In addition to Ruizhang, there are several areas where the teaching quality is much higher than that of Luping. None of the students there can get full marks.
, a student here who usually can only be at the bottom of the class actually got full marks, how could he dare to believe it?
Lin Zhiyuan said: "If he just got a perfect score, we wouldn't be particularly surprised. The students from Ruizhang can get the perfect score, and there is no reason to say that the students from Cangtang can't get it. The strangest thing is that the Gaofan examination room
, I was the one who proctored the exam, and this student left a deep impression on me.”
"What impression?" Wang Xianxin asked.
Lin Zhiyuan said: "Since the beginning of the exam, he has been sleeping, scrawling a few multiple-choice questions on the paper, and not writing a word on the big question."
"Ah?" Wang Xianxin only felt that his old face was red. This is nothing, the shame has been thrown to Ruizhang.
"So, when the director mentioned full marks just now..., you didn't mean full marks with negative marks, right?" Wang Xianxin asked with a grimace.
Ruizhang got two positive perfect marks, and Cangtang got one negative perfect mark. The Department of Education came to ask questions. A student who got zero marks was selected by Cangtang No. 1 Middle School to participate in the provincial competition. This
It’s strange that there’s nothing fishy about it. Wang Xianxin understands what’s going on. Now that he’s been caught, he doesn’t know how to smooth things over.
Lin Zhiyuan waved his hand and said: "Principal Wang, don't worry, the strange thing I mentioned is still behind. Less than half an hour before the end of the exam, the child suddenly woke up, and then started working on the paper for 20 minutes.
So I handed in the paper. As a result, what I handed in was a perfect score paper. It was a positive full score, not a negative one."
"You mean, Gao Fan finished the paper in only 20 minutes and got full marks?"
Wang Xianxin asked timidly. This ups and downs made him sweat all over and his back was wet.
"That's exactly it." Lin Zhiyuan said.
"This...how is this possible? Could it be..." Wang Xianxin immediately thought of some unspeakable things, and sweat broke out again.
The on-site invigilator, as well as the director of the provincial department, made a special trip to Cangtang, obviously not to announce the good news to Gao Fan. The greater possibility is that they think Gao Fan's results are not true and want to verify them.
.
Or to put it more bluntly, people suspect Gao Fan cheated in the competition, and now they want to arrest Gao Fan.
Not to mention He Mei and the others, when Wang Xianxin heard about this, his first reaction was whether Gao Fan had cheated. There is no reason why he could get full marks by doing it for only 20 minutes, unless he was a genius.
However, with such doubts in his heart, Wang Xianxin could not agree with He Mei and others. On the contrary, he had to try his best to cover up for Gao Fan and try every means to fool the matter.
This is not only to protect Gao Fan, but also to protect Cangtang No. 1 Middle School. Cheating in subject competitions is a big scandal and will also affect the reputation of the school.
"Teacher Lin, you said you were the invigilator for that exam, so did you notice any unusual behavior by Gao Fan? I mean, did he do anything that violated the rules of the examination room?" Wang Xianxin asked.
Lin Zhiyuan shook his head firmly: "No. Because this candidate did not perform well at that time, I paid special attention to him. Except for sleeping, I did not find any other abnormal behavior on his part."
Wang Xianxin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If that's the case, then what do Teacher Lin and Director He want to know when they come to Gao Fan?"
He Mei took over the conversation and said: "Principal Wang, we are all engaged in education work, and there is no need to go around the bush for some things. As for Gao Fan, you just introduced him. He is not the kind of student who usually performs very well, so
Getting full marks in the chemical competition this time, especially taking only 20 minutes to complete the paper and getting full marks, is definitely abnormal.
"There are two possibilities for this abnormality. One is that his results are real, and we usually misjudge him. We have seen this kind of dark horse suddenly break out in the college entrance examination in the past. If it is
In this case, we should be very happy.
"The second possibility is that his results are untrue and that he achieved such results using a method we don't understand. If that's the case..."
At this point, she didn't say any more. After all, it was not a pleasant thing to say, and there was no need to say it directly. Wang Xianxin was the principal, how could he not know how to deal with students who cheated?
"This..." Wang Xianxin had a hesitant look on his face, "I also understand what he means. You said that his results are unreal, and this possibility also exists. However, after all, this is a thing in the past. Now
How can we find evidence? If there is no evidence, it may not be appropriate for us to take some rash measures. After all, this is a matter that affects the students' lifelong future."
