Chapter 109 The Wall Collapsed
There is no such thing as a secret that stays hidden forever.
Some of the school's handling of the situation has been circulating uncontrollably within a very small circle.
For example, the most directly related are the small circles of faculty and staff family members.
Indeed, one of these rumors, which has yet to be confirmed, has already affected the vital interests of too many people.
It is said that in the future, universities will optimize resource allocation.
A series of major changes and initiatives are needed.
This is the most criticized aspect within the industry.
Undoubtedly, the so-called convenient living conditions enjoyed by faculty and staff family members will be significantly reduced, or even completely eliminated in their original form.
"It is only natural that workers consider the factory their home and teachers consider the school their home."
"Exactly! Which bastard of a generation came up with this crooked idea, insisting on targeting us faculty and staff family members?"
"
"What's wrong, Sister Gao? You've been making such a racket this morning, what happened?"
"What happened? Haven't you heard? The logistics department said that we, the family members of faculty and staff, are no longer allowed to freely enter and exit the school cafeteria to get food, no longer allowed to get free hot water from the water dispenser, and even our kids are not allowed to play on the school playground or freely enter and exit the school library. In short, we are no longer allowed to freely use any school public resources or facilities intended for university students—oops, I mean, we are no longer allowed to enjoy internal preferential treatment and conveniences as family members of faculty and staff—"
An elderly woman, short and stout, accompanied by an equally short and stout boy, was cursing and complaining indignantly, trying to gain the sympathy of others.
The vegetable basket she carried on her arm, filled with piles of goods, could easily be exchanged for supplies to take home with just a little money. This would soon be the last time she used it.
However, the mother and son clearly forgot that in an era when it was a major problem for most Chinese people to have enough to eat, they were able to become as fat as balls, panting after walking ten meters and resting after eight meters. Where did such a good life come from in the past?
"This...this...how can this be!"
"Exactly! Our entire social circle depends on the school. Suddenly they're forbidding this and that? How are we supposed to live?"
The short, fat woman's words indeed resonated with many who felt indignant.
However, the intensity wasn't particularly intense.
Clearly, they know their own situation best, and they're all pretending to be ignorant, knowing there's no way to cause trouble.
These days, when we get together and chat, it's just to vent our emotions.
Just then, another well-informed family member of a faculty member approached from a distance. He had obviously heard the discussion and came closer. This person first looked the short, chubby boy next to him up and down.
Then, with a mysterious smirk, she dropped a bombshell: "Sister Gao, what you just said are just trivial matters. I've heard that what's really giving us a headache is the next generation, specifically the education of the younger generation."
"Huh? What's wrong, Lao Liu? What do you mean by staring at my child while you're talking? No—don't try to fool me, what kind of inside information do you have related to my child's education?"
Others were also drawn to the topic and turned to ask questions.
There's nothing we can do about it. The conveniences in terms of food, drink, and daily life were originally just taking advantage of the school's benefits. So if they're banned, so be it. It's just a passing fad, and after a while everything will be back to normal.
Anyway, it's unlikely that the school has enough people to keep them in check.
Even the most outrageous policy still needs someone to implement it, since we see each other all the time.
When it comes to any policy within the school, these people and those who implement it, such as those in logistics or school staff, are all connected by relatives and friends. It's a complex web of interpersonal relationships, and no one can truly avoid it completely.
So despite their complaints, very few of them actually got really angry.
However, when it comes to matters involving their true core interests...
For example, if there are any new changes in the child's education, then it's really hard to say what will happen.
What is the most unique resource of universities?
Is it true that even a toe can tell?
That must be due to the exceptional teaching conditions, allowing children to have close contact with the best growth environment from a young age.
"Old Liu, tell me quickly, what exactly is going on—"
"Yes, yes, yes, sending children to school is of paramount importance and cannot be taken lightly—"
"Exactly, exactly. If anyone dares to make a big deal out of this, we can't afford to take it lightly or ignore it—"
The well-informed man, known as Old Liu by everyone, shook his head and sighed again, "Alas, I just heard that someone suggested stricter scrutiny, saying that the preferential treatment for the children of teachers and their families to enroll in affiliated schools is about to become a thing of the past."
"ah?!"
"What?! This...this—"
"What do you mean? That the children of faculty and staff aren't allowed to attend schools affiliated with the faculty and staff?!"
"That can't be!!"
"Seriously?! Who the hell is so inhuman as to try and sabotage us like this?!"
'
"Why?! No, it's the same principle that children of faculty and staff attend affiliated schools as children of factory workers attend the schools closest to them. It's a matter of course. Why can't we just cut that off? Where are we supposed to go to school if we can't attend affiliated schools? Who's so heartless as to come up with such a despicable idea? Are they trying to kill us?!"
The short, stout woman roared, startling the short, stout boy beside her. He was so frightened that he suddenly rolled away like a ball, howling and running off to play.
Other family members were also shocked by the news.
Everyone pressed for answers, and the short, stout woman started yelling and shouting, saying she was about to go and argue with the school leaders.
After much persuasion, the others managed to calm him down.
They had only heard bits and pieces of the tense situation through hearsay, and knew that the so-called sudden collective transfer of Principal Liu and other key personnel to support border areas was actually a rather unusual personnel change.
The group gathered together and began to discuss it again, but this time, their voices were much quieter.
Moreover, they were very careful to avoid passersby who might suddenly appear nearby.
They were all clearly aware that the atmosphere on campus was about to change drastically.
To put it simply, no matter how many times you say it...
The good old days of being able to cling to the massive size of the school and leisurely live as parasites as so-called faculty and staff family members are about to vanish completely.
Who would dare to seek thrills at such a critical juncture?
To put it bluntly, that's like going into the toilet with a lantern, deliberately looking for shit.
Old Liu sighed again, "Alas, in short, Sister Gao, your Songsong, tsk tsk tsk, don't let him become too playful in the future."
With his grades like that, we need to quickly find a way to catch up. We should spend some money to hire a college student as a tutor so he can improve his grades as soon as possible!
It's not a one-size-fits-all approach; the children of government employees are not allowed to attend schools for government employees. It's just a nicer way of saying that resources should be allocated to more outstanding students.
From now on, our children will all have to compete on the same starting line as all students in the city. In any case, it seems that any other form of internal special admission channel will no longer be possible.
