Shan Yue giggled. “At the end of the day, I still have to thank you for giving me this opportunity. As for why I didn’t acknowledge myself back then, it was because I didn’t want to be so ostentatious. Once 1 admit it, it will inevitably cause complications.”
Lin Xiao raised his eyes slightly and said tentatively, “I only hope that you won’t blame me. My actions have indeed deceived you, but I’ve already realized my mistake. I hope you can give me a chance to correct it.”
“No, you’re not to blame for this. It was all my idea. Besides, all your actions were under my command. When was it your turn to take responsibility?”
Zhang Huang grabbed Lin Xiao’s arm and said firmly, “It’s Grandpa’s fault. Don’t blame Lin Xiao. Grandpa promises that such things will never happen again. You will be the most important first.”
Shan Yue did not know whether to laugh or cry at the current situation. If Zhang Huang and Lin Xiao had not mentioned it, she would not have thought of this problem. For a moment, Shan Yue did not know what to do.
“Well, that’s the end of it. I’ve never been mad about that, so let’s not talk about it again.” Shan Yue waved her hand and skipped the current topic. She began to let the two of them tell her about the competition next year.
From Lin Xiao’s words, Shan Yue learned that it had been many years since Federal City obtained fourth place. In the recent competitions, it was impossible for them to obtain a high ranking.
…..
That was because in many universities in the Federation, education still retained the past model. The overly rigid teaching method was to study and do questions infinitely. However, foreign countries were different. They would not spend a lot of time doing questions.
Instead, children are given enough time to go outdoors and practice in person to improve their hands-on skills and explore unknown! areas. This diametrically opposed approach will nurture students with two different personalities and mindsets.
It was precisely because of this difference that the current outcome was like this. The Federation’s results in recent years were getting worse and worse. It was already a blessing in disguise that they were not the last.
The students gradually became machines that only knew how to study. They no longer had the curiosity and anticipation for new things that they should have.
Even if some students showed special talent in a certain aspect, the competition required all-rounded talent. They could not be interested in other subjects at all. This was the result of mechanical education.
As time passed, the Federation would only lack all-rounded students. Of course, Shan Yue understood these questions in her heart. Zhang Huang, who had been in education for decades, naturally understood them too.
However, no matter what, he was only a teacher in a university. As long as the Education Bureau did not make any changes, the Federation could only continue to develop like this.
At this moment, Shan Yue came up with a plan. The best way to face doubts was to break them. As long as she could achieve unprecedented results in the international competition, she would have the rights to speak once she came back to the country. After all, only practice could reveal the truth.
When the time came, she would be able to propose a reform of the education system.
With the support of some authoritative elders, it would be enough to resist the Education Bureau of the Federation.
With the Shan Corporation’s strength and the combined pressure of the news media and companies, no matter how powerful their background was, they would not be able to withstand such an attack. Then, the educational innovation of the Federation would be just around the corner.
The three of them discussed their thoughts and gave their opinions. In the end, their thoughts stopped at Shan Yue’s idea.
This was because society was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. Only the words of the strong could be heard. Only when Shan Yue displayed her true strength could she stand straight and speak in front of everyone.
“We’ve all seen the current situation in the central city of the Federation. If we want to change the current situation, we definitely need long-term plans and efforts. It’s definitely impossible to rely on just a few of us..”
