Chapter 609: I think tutoring is really suitable for students!
It turns out that after every monthly exam or mock exam, the scores are set in advance by the institution and have nothing to do with the students' actual level.
The teacher will only give a score on the exam paper and there will be no marks of correction.
Because no one is seriously reviewing the papers.
These scores are not set based on the actual situation of the students, but are designed to create excellent learning "outcomes."
For example, for students with average academic performance, their test results will be ranked above 90 points (out of 100 points).
Moreover, the degree of achievement improvement is deliberately exaggerated to make parents feel that students are making rapid progress.
But all this is just a pretense!
There is a serious disconnect in the real teaching effect.
But what makes Chu Qian most speechless is that the teachers in the school will publish these false excellent results in the parent group.
And deliberately praised a certain student's "rapid progress", claiming that this was the result of the school's good teaching quality.
This is undoubtedly a complete deception of parents!
At the gold medal education and training institution, Chu Qian also discovered more incredible chaos.
It turned out that in order to obtain higher profits, this training institution also colluded with a black-hearted publishing house called "Xin Ruida" outside the school.
This publishing house has published a large number of self-edited training handouts, but the quality is very poor and the content is boring.
However, the training institution forces every student to purchase the textbooks from this publisher, and also stipulates that at least 30 copies should be purchased!
However, the prices of these handouts are deliberately high, ranging from 200 to 300 yuan each, ranging from 600 yuan to over 10,000 yuan!
Parents can only reluctantly pay for it for the sake of their children.
A large part of this money will be shared privately by institutions and publishers.
What's even more irritating is that various unreasonable charging items have been added to the contracts signed between training institutions and parents.
For example, it is stipulated that once you withdraw midway, you need to pay a penalty of up to 50% of the course fee.
In other words, once parents pay the fees, it is very difficult for their children to transfer to another school.
For dissatisfied parents, teachers from training institutions are even more aggressive and refuse refunds for various reasons.
One girl cried and asked to drop out of school. The teacher threatened that if she didn't pay, she would be demerited or even expelled.
Various signs have shown that in order to make money, this institution can suppress students and adopt various illegal methods.
It has completely deviated from the essence of education and is just a machine for making huge profits.
Chu Qian realized that this kind of behavior that seriously distorted the purpose of education was suspected of multiple illegal crimes.
In order to conduct an in-depth investigation of this training institution called "Gold Medal Education", Chu Qian decided to take a bold step - to disguise her identity again, and then directly contact the boss to gain his trust.
On this day, Chu Qian, who had changed her clothes, came to the Gold Medal Education Headquarters and met with Principal Li on time.
Chu Qian shook hands with Principal Li warmly: "Hello, Principal Li, I am Chu Chen, the marketing director of a training institution. I am very happy to have the opportunity to meet you today."
Principal Li smiled and nodded: "Hello, Miss Chu, it's an honor to meet you. Do you want to communicate with me about the training industry?"
"Yes." Chu Qian sat down and said, "I have always paid close attention to the development of Gold Medal Education and I am deeply impressed. In such a fiercely competitive environment, it is not easy for you to lead Gold Medal Education to maintain stable development."
"Haha, you deserve the award." Principal Li said proudly: "We are also working hard to adapt to the industry situation and maintain our characteristics and advantages."
"I think it's still stressful, right?" Chu Qian said casually: "After all, the demands of parents and students are increasing, and the competition from other institutions is also fierce. I'm afraid it won't be able to meet the requirements just by relying on the original school running model."
Principal Li sighed: "You are right, we are indeed facing pressure on performance and development. The market competition is fierce, and we are also looking for ways to break the bottleneck."
"I wonder if I would be honored to help Principal Li solve his problems and provide some new ideas?" Chu Qian said enthusiastically.
"That's great!" Principal Li became more energetic: "If Miss Chu has any suggestions, I will humbly accept them!"
"Well... I'm thinking about how to further tap parents' consumption potential without deviating from the essence of education." Chu Qian pretended to be thinking.
After hearing this, Principal Li immediately became energetic and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the competition in the education industry is too fierce, and we are also facing a lot of performance pressure."
"You're right!" Chu Qian quickly agreed, "I've been thinking, how can we make Gold Medal Education stand out and really help you improve your performance?"
"Do you have any good ideas?" Principal Li's eyes lit up and he asked with interest.
"Occasionally I hear some gossip in the industry from some channels, which is very helpful to improve performance."
Chu Qian said mysteriously: "But these methods may be a bit unconventional, and you have to weigh them yourself, principal."
"I'm not afraid of non-mainstream people, just tell me!" Principal Li couldn't sit still anymore. He felt that Chu Qian really seemed to have mastered some industry secrets.
"In fact, the main purpose is to write some articles based on the consumer psychology of students and parents, such as setting up various funds and charging in installments."
Chu Qian pretended to be casual and said: "But this may increase the burden on parents. I don't know what you are considering..."
"This is good. Now parents' spending power is guaranteed. We can consider setting up a fund or paying in installments!" Principal Li expressed his support continuously: "Do you have any other methods?"
Chu Qian saw that Principal Li had completely trusted her, and quickly took further actions to uncover more problems with this training institution.
Chu Qian pretended to hesitate and said: "Well... I've actually heard of some other methods recently, but they might be a bit excessive. I still need to ask the principal to look at them."
Principal Li hurriedly said: "You can mention it, but as long as it is legal, I will definitely support it!"
"Legal means legal." Chu Qian pretended to be embarrassed: "For example, if we force every student to buy textbooks from us, the cost can be raised a little, which can increase a lot of sales revenue."
"It's okay to buy textbooks!" Principal Li immediately agreed: "This is also what students should do. The quality of our textbooks is definitely worth the price!"
"For another example, once students register with us, they must sign a contract. If they transfer to other training institutions midway, we can charge a certain percentage of liquidated damages." Chu Qian came up with a new idea.
"Liquidated damages are also very good!" Principal Li's eyes shone: "This can limit the loss of students and prevent parents from refunding fees casually. Kill two birds with one stone!"
"Also..." Chu Qian changed the topic: "If the students' test scores are not satisfactory, we can consider compulsory make-up classes. The cost of each make-up class is not cheap. This will also help improve performance. What do you think?"
