After having lunch and taking a short rest, Ning Haiyan and Tian Ying took everyone to the Yingcai School next to Shiweitian Building.
The original plan was to arrange for Li Honggen and others to visit Shiweitian, but it turned out that they were concerned about the children and decided to go to the school first and arrange the children properly.
Of the children in Kaoshantun, four are going to Yingcai Middle School, three are in kindergarten, and the rest are elementary school students. This ratio may seem unusual, but it is related to the actual situation in Kaoshantun.
Paoshantun is a mountainous area with poor living conditions and many ethnic groups gather together, so mobilizing school-age children to go to school is a long-standing problem.
Even if their children go to school, finish primary school, or even fail to graduate from primary school, many parents will let their children leave school and start farming with adults.
Now this is a true reflection of this situation. It is said that there are more than a dozen children in Paoshantun who should go to middle school. However, they know that if they go to the capital to study, all fees are free, and they don’t even have to spend money on food. But this time they came to the capital to go to middle school.
There are only four people.
However, this situation should be temporary. As the Daqingshan development project continues, sooner or later the mountain residents will have the financial ability and awareness to let their children study more.
Yingcai's three schools are next to each other. Before everyone came over, Tian Ying called several school leaders. Now the teachers are at the school gate, waiting to take the new students into the school.
It is summer vacation now, and only some students in primary school are in school. The middle school will not officially start school until September 1st. The four children from Kaoshantun have become the first batch of students to move into Yingcai Middle School.
Sun Dahai will also enter school this year, so he took the initiative to accompany four middle school students and their parents into Yingcai Middle School.
Principal Tan Liangde and teacher Lin Yanhua, director of the junior high school, are waiting for their arrival. These four students are all junior high school students. Two, like Sun Dahai, are about to enter the first grade of junior high school, and the other two are preparing to enter the second grade of junior high school.
High school students are all over 15 years old, and they are considered a strong labor force in Kaoshan Village. There is no one in the whole village who is currently studying in high school. The one closest to this goal is Li Honggen's daughter Li Na, who will be in the third grade of junior high school this year.
Because Yingcai Middle School does not admit junior high school students, Li Na will still study in Long Province this year.
Several students took the admission letters issued by the Elite Education Fund and went through the admission procedures at the Academic Affairs Office. Sun Dahai watched the whole process and answered the parents' questions together with Teacher Lin.
After the four students completed various procedures, they began to receive various things. Two sets of summer school uniforms, bedding, toiletries, stationery, tableware, school regulations and other written materials.
There were a lot of things, and the students ran back and forth several times before putting everything back in the dormitory and starting to sort it out.
Throughout the process, Teacher Lin warned parents not to help students, but to let them do it themselves. Students must adapt as soon as possible, otherwise life in school will be more difficult in the future.
It is actually very beneficial for several students from Kaoshantun to enroll in school now. There are work-study programs in the literature, and cleaning and helping other freshmen complete their enrollment is one of them.
Teacher Lin specially urged everyone to understand these contents as soon as possible. The school will officially begin to accept students in two days. At that time, they can apply for work-study programs and start earning living expenses for themselves.
Tomorrow there will be several students who will enroll in school early. They are orphans from several welfare homes. The school is taking care of them by allowing them to enroll in early, so they can get familiar with the school early and find a more suitable way for them to work-study.
The school deliberately sets aside half of the food expenses for students, hoping that they can earn this part of the expenses through their own efforts and add some pocket money for themselves on the basis of serious study.
The school has designed many ways for students to earn money, including scholarships, work-study programs, and participation in various activities organized by the school.
The admission procedures were completed. Parents and students, led by Teacher Lin, visited the school and went around the stadium at the back. Several indoor venues are very professional and need to be taught by the school's physical education teacher.
Only then was it open to them.
After a long circle, it was almost dark. The parents and other guests from Kaoshantun were arranged to stay in a guest house not far away, so there was no rush to go there.
Dinner is eaten at school. Because there are few people, parents, students and teachers from Yingcai Middle School now gather in the cafeteria of Yingcai Elementary School to eat.
In the cafeteria of the primary school, Sun Dahai found Sun Yuanyuan and others, and they had already settled there. The second primary school had been attending school there for a year, and they were much more familiar with the school and various procedures than Sun Dahai.
.
The dinner in the school cafeteria is also very sumptuous. The braised pork ribs alone make the children drool. The winter melon braised meatballs are simple to make, but rich in nutrients and delicious in taste. Many girls who don’t eat meat like this home-cooked dish.
.
Sliced pork with fresh mushrooms, shredded pork with green pepper, stir-fried cabbage with dried small shrimps, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, these are just a few simple dishes with a very reasonable nutritional mix.
The daily meals in the school cafeteria are still different from those in the staff cafeteria. In order to prevent gastrointestinal discomfort or other accidents, there will be no cold dishes in the student cafeteria, and no freshwater fish with many bones will be cooked for the students.
Under normal circumstances, the school cafeteria serves four courses for lunch and dinner, and three courses on Sundays and holidays. Each meal must have at least one hard dish.
During traditional festivals, celebrations or special occasions, the canteen will add extra dishes. Today is a special occasion, so it is six courses.
For students, when they have enough food, the number of dishes at each meal should not be too many. This will induce students to be picky eaters and partial eclipses, which is not conducive to students' physical development.
When the weather gets colder, the school cafeteria will increase the supply of mutton. However, if you want to eat beef, you will have to wait a few years until the Luxi cattle breeding base in Dongshan Province is developed before beef can be supplied on a regular basis.
At least one-third of the students who go out here will become employees of Sun's various companies in the future, so the Elite Education Fund is willing to spend a lot of money on the standards of food in the school cafeteria.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this part of the cost is not that high. Most of the ingredients used in the canteen are now produced at Shiweitian Base and are supplied internally. It really doesn't cost much.
After dinner, all non-school personnel were invited out. Parents visited the school and were full of confidence in their children's future study and life.
The second primary school student has already made an agreement with his family that they will stay at the school today and spend their first night in the capital with their friends from Shantun.
Sun Dahai doesn't need to worry about them. All the work at Yingcai Primary School is on track, and the life teacher will definitely take good care of them.
