Episode 12 recap: Class 11 faces the crisis of dissolution again.
While Sang Xia and her good friend Bai Lu were still studying, the class was discussing a senior student who changed jobs three times due to work pressure. At that time, the classmates in the class all had their own career directions, and everyone needed certifications. The incident caused several breakdowns among the students in Sang Xia's class.
Soon, the grade headmaster called for a homeroom meeting and informed Class 11 that if there were no significant improvements, the class would be dissolved. Sang Xia kept kicking Lei Ming beside her, but Lei Ming was busy calculating. Finally, Lei Ming stood up and told everyone that if none of the students in the class scored above 450 on the upcoming exam, Class 11 would be disbanded directly.
Sang Xia was annoyed by Lei Ming's exaggeration, and the classmates started to focus on their studies. However, the usual teaching methods were dull, and everyone lacked the motivation to listen. Lei Ming sought out Director Wang and provided a detailed analysis of the students' situation, hoping to create more learning opportunities for everyone.
After work, Lei Ming went to the snack street to eat, while Sang Xia went to attend a class reunion with her good friend Bai Lu. To Sang Xia's surprise, Bai Lu actually came over holding hands with Lei Ming. Bai Lu even introduced Lei Ming as her fiancé, but later quietly told Sang Xia that she had paid him to pretend.
As a result, some classmates in the class deliberately made sarcastic remarks. Currently, only Sang Xia and Bai Lu are engaged in activities related to their major, while other classmates have switched majors. It made Sang Xia uncomfortable to hear her classmates criticize her major, so she hurriedly left. Li Ran's grandmother secretly collected some waste paper boxes to have Li Ran take them out while the host family was asleep at night. Unexpectedly, Li Ran once again saw Shen Yao self-harming. Shen Yao quickly told Li Ran to leave, and Li Ran had no choice but to leave.
The monthly exams arrived quickly, and everyone was prepared for them. Li Ran continued to conceal the scars on his wrist. The exams were held in the gymnasium, and when the time came, the exams officially began. The students of Class 11 wrote furiously, and soon it was time to release the results. Shen Yao still ranked first in the entire grade, and everyone quickly saw that Yu Yang, Cheng Yu Shan, and Jiang Qing Lang scored above 450. Only Bian Xiaoxiao and Li Ran fell slightly short, and the two of them felt a little disappointed.
Lei Ming was also called over by Xiao Rui and Principal Gao. Since two people did not score above 450, Class 11 was facing dissolution. However, at this moment, Lei Ming deliberately mentioned that the average score of their class had reached the target, so he hadn't lost the bet. With the help of Principal Lou speaking up for them, in the end, Principal Gao decided to wait and see everyone's final exam results.
Lei Ming shared this good news with everyone and even distributed bonuses based on their scores. Sang Xia, on the other hand, felt uncomfortable with this educational approach. Sang Xia believed that it was not appropriate, but Lei Ming had his own ideas, and the classmates thanked him, calling him "Boss Lei." Lei Ming also informed everyone that the minimum score for the next monthly exam would be 500, which surprised everyone.
The next day in class, Lei Ming analyzed the subjects chosen by everyone and even discussed each person's characteristics. Li Ran was good at physics, but Sang Xia believed that everyone's individual preferences should be respected. Lei Ming directly took everyone to the talent market to see the recruitment situation. Based on the analysis, the chances of finding a job after choosing liberal arts were very low.
Lei Ming also had everyone play the role of interviewers to see what kind of talents were in demand. Then he asked everyone to choose who they would hire if they were the boss. In fact, Lei Ming wanted to use this method to let everyone know where the competition pressure truly lies. Meanwhile, Sang Xia took advantage of the free time to understand the type of person they believed was most suitable for the position. Sang Xia felt that education background was not as important as finding the right fit for the job.
However, Lei Ming and Sang Xia had a disagreement over this matter, and they had a big argument. Sang Xia angrily left, and the classmates hurriedly went after her. Sang Xia sometimes doubted whether her current choices were right or wrong and didn't know the true meaning behind her persistence.
Sang Xia was actually a student of Lei Ming's father, Lei Lizhou. When she was lost in confusion before, Lei Lizhou had also given her some guidance and clarity.
Sang Xia's episode was really strange. It seemed like he was deliberately provoking Lei Ming. Li Ran clearly has a natural talent for physics, but his father burned his physics books when he was young, which created some resistance.
Jiang Qing Lang and Yu Yang were both chosen by their mothers and not their own preferences. Since none of them were their preferred choices, and they hadn't figured out what they truly liked, why couldn't they choose a promising career path?
Moreover, preferences can change. I used to be average in biology and didn't like it. But then I happened to learn about genetic probability, and I was faster than others in solving problems.
I scored high on a small quiz, and that joy made me start liking biology. It created a positive cycle, and my biology grades have been consistently good. If there's talent and the grades improve easily, you gradually develop an interest.
By the way, I work in the architecture industry, and now I deeply regret it. If someone had analyzed the prospects and employment direction for me back then, I would be grateful to them for a lifetime.
Lei Ming has always been doing good things for his students, and nobody understands how much he has gone through.
Sang Xia is an innocent idealist. It's true that her words make sense, and it's not right to have a money-driven mindset. However, for students who come from problematic families and lack the ability to rely on a solid support system, the primary task is, of course, to survive in society.
If you can't even have enough food to eat, how can you talk about ideals?
Exactly! Except for Jiang Qing Lang, the students in Class 11 need to focus on changing their current life situation. They don't even have the opportunity to consider what they like.
That's the reality. Sang Xia, who can't even see the core issue, denies Lei Ming. To put it nicely, it's overly idealistic. To put it bluntly, it's easy to talk when you're not the one experiencing the pain.
Oh my, it seems that Sang Lao Shi (Teacher Sang) is really going to be infuriated. Among the five children, four of them have only the college entrance examination as their path to changing their destiny.
She already possesses three times what Li Ran has and cannot have anymore... Using naive and idealistic facts to condemn Lei Ming really lacks credibility.
Actually, Teacher Sang is not naive. But to be honest, in today's environment, do employers really prioritize the most suitable person? Do HR departments consider all those factors? Not all HR professionals are like Teacher Sang. People are forced to make compromises.
No one will provide food for someone solely based on their hobbies. Hobbies have never been a consideration for those at the bottom.
Both teachers are not wrong. Are those viewers who criticize Teacher Sang never had youthful passion and the pains of growing up? Don't they envy those who see their ideals become a reality?
Is this class only for the five teenagers? I believe that a large portion of those who deeply resonate with this drama are people who have received higher education and have been brutally affected by reality.
So, please take a moment to think about why you like Teacher Zhang Xuefeng and why you like Teacher Dong Yuhui. And then think about that pure version of yourself from the past.
Exactly! Except for Jiang Qing Lang, the students in Class 11 need to focus on changing their current life situation. They don't even have the opportunity to consider what they like.
That's the reality. Sang Xia, who can't even see the core issue, denies Lei Ming. To put it nicely, it's overly idealistic. To put it bluntly, it's easy to talk when you're not the one experiencing the pain.
I really don't understand what's going on with Teacher Sang. Is she a teacher or a psychological counselor? I have a few questions: 1. Choosing subjects directly affects the choice of major, and one's major is closely related to future career planning.
So, career planning and subject selection are not contradictory. Why did she criticize Lei Ming for not considering students' career planning? Besides, Lei Ming didn't mention anything about interests. It was her own suggestion.
2. The autumn recruitment fair reflects reality. High school students have no idea about the connection between their future majors and careers. Lei Ming showed them the options and helped them understand the relationship between subject selection and corresponding majors.
Why did Sang Xia bring up the issue of mental and physical health? Lei Ming never said that students should sacrifice their mental and physical well-being for the college entrance examination. 3. Except for Jiang Qing Lang, whose family background is good, these children need to change their lives through the college entrance examination.
Why does Sang Xia always feel that encouraging students to compete for Qingbei University is not right and that they should choose to "lie flat" (not strive)? If they don't compete, what are the prospects for these children?
I feel that compared to the original work, there's still a slight deviation here. In this adaptation, most of the characters are inclined towards those who already have natural talent in studying.
In the original work, however, they were portrayed as progressively worse in their academic performance, lacking talent, and relying solely on determination to intensify their motivation and drive to study.
They would relentlessly tackle difficult questions, giving anyone who watched it a feeling of "If they can do it, so can I.
