No matter what, everyone was relieved that Huanhuan could be found safely.
In the following days, each community began to be closed for management, and access was strictly restricted. A pass is required and a mask must be worn.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan was well prepared and everything was no problem.
Xiang Nan and Zhang Xueer officially started their stay-at-home life.
In February, Jiangzhou City issued a notice that the Spring Festival holiday would be postponed, and the opening of kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, and colleges and universities would be postponed.
By March, teachers began teaching online.
At the same time, Jiangzhou City’s initial lottery policy for small promotions has also been officially released.
The policy stipulates that all private junior high schools in Jiangzhou Municipal District adopt a lottery system for admissions.
In this way, promotion to junior high school depends entirely on luck and no longer depends on grades.
Some parents are delighted with the introduction of this policy, while others are complaining.
Most of those who are happy are the parents of children who have not been able to attend key junior high schools. They feel that the lottery system for primary promotion can give their children a chance to enter key junior high schools. Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle, and they will naturally be happy.
Most of the people complaining are parents of students who hope to enter key junior high schools and have been preparing for it for several years. For example, Zhao Lin, Chang Haoran, Lu Zeyu, etc.
Each of their children studied very well, and they started preparing for the Imperial Academy early. To this end, both children and parents have put in a lot of effort and effort.
Nowadays, with a lottery system, admission to higher education is no longer based on grades, but only on luck, making all their hard work and efforts in vain. This naturally makes parents very dissatisfied.
However, no matter how they react, the established policy has been announced, which is a definite fact, and everyone must accept it.
…
In April, students officially began to register their enrollment information.
In May, the admission process will be carried out one after another. First, they were admitted to private junior high schools, and then to public schools.
On May 18, the official lottery for private junior high schools began.
At the same time, the fourth, fifth and sixth grades of Fengfan Primary School also officially started.
Both Xiang Nan and Zhang Xueer returned to school and found that the faces of all the children's parents were filled with anxiety.
It's no wonder, today is the lottery day, whether you can get into a key junior high school depends on luck or misfortune.
If you are lucky enough to be admitted to a key junior high school, you will have a greater chance of being admitted to a key high school or a key university in the future.
After all, the leading role of good teachers and the demonstration effect of good students have a great impact on the improvement of learning.
As the saying goes, those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are dark. When the learning atmosphere in the school is particularly strong, even poor students can get better results in the exam.
On the contrary, if you are unlucky and are transferred to an ordinary junior high school, without the guidance of excellent teachers and the example of good students, then the children who might have made further progress may sink because of this.
Therefore, parents are naturally extremely worried.
…
"Zhong Yi, do you think Huanhuan can still get on the sail?" Nan Li asked worriedly.
"Why, sister-in-law, haven't you always wanted Huanhuan to study in the Hanlin Academy? Why are you worried about sailing now?" Xiang Nan asked in surprise.
"I signed up for the Hanlin Academy for Huanhuan, but I'm afraid that if I miss the swing, I'll lose the sail as well, so that's a big deal." Nan Li said worriedly.
Originally, Huanhuan could go directly to Fengfan Middle School, but in the end she still wanted to give it a try. After all, Fengfan’s high school entrance examination scores were really far behind those of Hanlin.
But she was worried that if Hanlin missed the swing, the sail would be full again. When the time comes and he is transferred to a worse middle school, it will be all over.
In fact, although Tian Yulan and Nan Li looked down on Fengfan Middle School at first, this school still ranked middle in the district, and there were many middle schools worse than it.
"Sister-in-law, since you have made your choice, don't regret it and don't worry too much." Xiang Nan comforted her, "Huanhuan is so cute, she must have good luck. Hanlin Middle School has a good chance, don't worry too much."
"I hope so." Nan Li nodded.
…
On May 20th, the admission results of private junior high schools will be announced one after another.
From time to time, parents happily post news that their children have been admitted.
Mi Tao successfully won the lottery at Hanlin Middle School, which made the whole family very happy.
In comparison, Huanhuan failed in the first round of lottery and could only wait for adjustments in a few days.
If there is no good middle school after the adjustment in a few days, then it will depend on Fengfan's admission situation.
If Fengfan is already full, then the only choice is to accept the computer allocation, and you don’t know which middle school you will be admitted to.
So these two days are the most difficult.
Both children and parents are heartbroken.
"In case things don't go well in junior high school, let's find a way to arrange for Huanhuan to go abroad." Nan Li said to Xia Junshan.
"Are you crazy? Huanhuan is only eleven years old, and you let her go abroad? Does she have the ability to take care of herself? She can't even wash clothes." Xia Junshan said in surprise when he heard this.
"That's better than going to a bad junior high school. If you go to a bad junior high school, you won't even be able to pass the high school entrance examination. Wouldn't your life be ruined? We are her parents, so of course we have to think about her.
She can't take care of herself, so let's teach her to take care of herself. No matter what, we can't let her be wasted. Nan Li insisted.
"Don't be so excited. Studying abroad is not just a matter of talk. We don't know which country, which city, which school, what documents are needed, what skills are needed, and what preparations are needed. How can we just leave? Xia Junshan advised, "You have also watched the TV series "Little Farewell". Is it that easy to study abroad? What's more, there is an epidemic now and you can't go abroad. How do you let Huanhuan study abroad?"
"So, don't be idle these two days. Let's hurry up and go to various institutions to find some information. In case we go to study abroad, we can make preparations in advance." Nan Li said impatiently, wishing he could go to those study abroad institutions now.
"Okay, okay, we'll go tomorrow, don't worry yet." Xia Junshan quickly comforted her.
…
Two days later, Huanhuan was transferred to Chengcai Middle School.
After hearing the news, Xia Junshan and Nan Li were very unhappy.
Because Chengcai Middle School is not as good as Fengfan Middle School, the success rate of the high school entrance examination is less than 40%, which means that 60% of the students will not pass the high school entrance examination.
With such a low success rate, it even deserves its name.
Therefore, Xia Junshan and Nan Li rejected the adjustment and put their hope in the allocation of seats in public middle schools.
It would be better if Huanhuan could go to Fengfan Middle School. If not, then the only option is to study abroad.
However, they have also checked these days and it is not easy to study abroad.
Even if there is no epidemic, if Huanhuan wants to study abroad, she still has to look at her school grades, growth reports, various certificates, awards, and her language skills...
What worries them most is that the annual tuition fee is 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.
But their family’s income this year is not very good. Xia Junshan and Nan Li now only have basic wages. After all, due to the epidemic, all industries are in recession.
The home textile industry served by Nanli and the real estate industry served by Xia Junshan have both encountered a cold winter. Both of them were lucky not to be expelled. How could they squeeze out two or three hundred thousand in tuition fees?
Moreover, if Huanhuan wanted to go abroad, it would cost him two to three million yuan to study in junior high school, high school, or university for ten years or two for a year or two. It really gives me a headache just thinking about it!
