Chapter 11: Old Professors and Supercomputers
Former retired professor of mathematics at Columbia University, the first teacher "recruited" by Alvin since he took over the school, Nicolas Cage.
This old guy with the same name as a Hollywood star that Alvin knew in his previous life, was rude and fat, with the personality of a traditional western cowboy, although he was not so reluctant when he came, and even resisted fiercely. But after being "invited" by Alvin to visit the school again and again. His enthusiasm for teaching was stimulated by Zaiji, and according to his original words, the general meaning was that although the system of this school may not be able to teach Einstein, it must have produced a large number of mathematical talents. He loves the school's teaching system, and the punishment is doubled for students who don't do their homework. If a student is disrespectful to a teacher, the Correctional Services Department will teach him to be a human being. If a student makes a big mistake, then the small dark room converted from a warehouse will make him regret it for the rest of his life.
This place is more like a prison than a school, but it is considered by the old guy to be the most able place to cultivate students and the most just place for the future of students. There are no class differences here, and all students are treated equally, and heroes are judged by scores. Instead of being like the outside school, the class classification was quietly completed for the children in the learning stage, and the children of ordinary families are learning happily and growing up happily. Children from wealthy families go to prestigious schools, but they have to face huge academic pressure, and they have to study other courses such as art in their spare time. When they start to take the university entrance examination or face the society, the children of wealthy families will have a much higher starting point and be much easier than the children of ordinary families.
Here, all children are the same, even members of the varsity team in basketball, baseball, and football at all levels, and must make sure that they pass the test before they can participate in training. Alvin doesn't believe in nonsense that you don't have a talent for learning, if you can play sports well and understand tactics, then you can pass the exam. Alvin's son's classmates in the previous life only scored 85 points on the IQ test, but they were forced by their teachers to pass every subject. So here, Alvin doesn't believe in tears, only in grades.
"Damn it, Alvin, you kidnapped me here and asked me to teach the students, and here I am. But what did you bastard? You put the money into a fence and even a fucking grid! I don't object to you doing that, but what the fuck, can you buy the teaching equipment I wrote for you first, I don't even have a fucking computer. You bastard, if I can't see the computer I want this week, I'll fucking ~~"
Alvin, staring at the old fellow, said that he was leaving, and promised him to send him home to retire. The old thing wants a multimedia teaching center, Alvin agreed, but you are asking for a supercomputer, it is too much, although that thing can be used by all the teachers of the school, but even if it is an obsolete supercomputer, it is a price of several millions. Where could Alvin find all that money? Did you take a few big dogs to rob the Stark Mansion and get the supercomputer back?
Old man Cage thought for a while, his career in his later years was here, and he couldn't say anything if he wanted to leave, so he held back for a long time and said: "I'm ~ going to the Ministry of Education to complain about you!" ”
Alvin shook his head in disappointment and said, "Professor Cage, you have to understand, our school is not rich!" What can you complain about me when you go to the Ministry of Education? Our students are in the 12th grade as high, so what's the use of asking for that? You see, Principal Nelson's hair is gray after all the little money he has spent on the school. You're an old professor, you have to understand, right? Rest assured, supercomputers will have it. We call this bitter first and then sweet, and when the school situation improves, we will start this matter immediately. ”
There is a saying in Huaguo that the stones in the pit are smelly and hard, and it is a person like Professor Cage, who listened to Alvin's words, Professor Cage was unmoved, looked at Alvin with disdain, and said: "At first glance, you are a bastard with no higher education, you want to run the school well, isn't the teacher important?" Do you know how many advanced people in the United States who study mathematics and physics are waiting in line for supercomputers in school to verify the results of their experiments? As long as you have it, believe it or not, the high-ranking people who come to apply for jobs can step through your threshold! You ignorant fool only know how to build walls, but you don't know that talent is the key to a school. ”
Listening to the old professor's words, Alvin was heartbroken, although he did not go to college, he still heard the most important thing about talent. Is it really okay for you to despise me so nakedly?
Alvin was moved when he heard this, but he was still a single person, and said, "I don't have any money, what should I do!" ”
The old man scolded Fang Xuan and pointed at the country, "No money? Find the gangsters in Hell's Kitchen, their children have to go to school here, the school needs it, shouldn't the parents do something to help? As far as I know, Hell's Kitchen has more than 20 gangsters, large and small, with an average of 100,000 per family, which is almost enough, and I have an old friend at Columbia University who is looking to transfer a supercomputer, and I can get a good price. After saying that, he squeezed his eyebrows with Alvin, and looked like there was someone above me.
Alvin listened to Professor Cage's words and gasped, is this a professor or a ringing horse, who the hell is the gangster. How did he, a bandit, survive to be over seventy years old in the dangerous world of Marvel?
However, 2 million to buy a supercomputer is a very cost-effective deal. But it's a whimsical idea to find a gang to apportion. These little gangsters are not golden, they have a big family and a big business, and a little money doesn't matter much to him. These little gangsters, if you find him for a dollar, he will get back five dollars from somewhere else. This kind of thing Alvin would never do.
Asking for money from gangsters can't be said to be asking for money, this name must not work, you have to ask them to take the initiative to donate. It depends on the quality of teaching and the promotion rate of the school this year. With the promotion rate, it would be easy for these bosses to know that their children can follow a different path than their own, but now it really can't.
Alvin rubbed his nose, wondering if he was looking for gold and turning into a fate, but if he caught a sheep and scavenged hard, the sheep would go crazy.
Alvin looked at Professor Cage helplessly, and said: "Professor, asking the gang for money is the worst way to do it, you definitely can't do it, you talk to that side first, it's really not good, I will take out part of the budget of the teaching building in the back, and let Nelson try to see if he can borrow some money." But we must do a good job this semester, and we can't fool around without supercomputers, and there is no high school in the United States that dares to do supercomputers. "Alvin can't help it, he kidnapped and tricked him back to get an uncle, this uncle's ability is nothing to say, but his temper is too bad, and he always loves to lose his temper, so he can't stand it.
The old man was very satisfied with Alvin's low profile, straightened his tie, and said proudly: "This is my responsibility, there are several children in the 12th grade who are good, I can write them a letter of recommendation and try it at Columbia University." I talked to Professor Wilson about how half of these kids scored 22 in this year's ATC exam. Ha, bastard, the only thing I like about you is your teaching system, you can't train a horse without a whip. Then his tone changed, like a loan shark asking for an account, "Hurry up and get the money, the supercomputer must be pulled back first." The money for the building was for Nelson to take out a loan, and I was able to introduce him to several banks, all of which were my students. ”
The old man's face was hideous, like a loan shark who forced people to sign. Alvin and Nelson were resigned, and quickly nodded in agreement.
The old man saw that Alvin agreed, and patted him on the shoulder happily, "You won't regret it!" ”
