289: Chapter 289: The position of honorary principal is undoubtedly rightfully mine! And the bonuses have skyrocketed!

However, these students soon couldn't laugh anymore.

Song Xiang stood on the stage, full of imposing energy.

Reading Taiwanese novels in one's leisure time is super cozy.

He first made a self-criticism, stating that in recent years, there had been some negligence in student management work.

He also criticized certain school staff members for not putting in their full effort at their jobs.

There were even people who committed acts that violated professional ethics and conduct!

These 18 to 21-year-old students began to feel nervous.

They were a bit puzzled; since when had this vice principal become so ruthless?

Most of them didn't know what kind of changes had actually taken place within the school recently!

Su Yang leaned against the window on the fourth floor of the nearby faculty office building, listening to Song Xiang's self-reflection, and felt that this vice principal was actually quite decent... at least he could admit his mistakes and change.

Originally, the Dean of Students was supposed to take the stage, but to demonstrate the school's determination, Song Xiang believed he should go up himself, and Su Yang let him do it.

Subsequently, Song Xiang revealed his true intentions and began to read out the latest school regulations!

The more they listened to those school regulations, the worse the expressions on the students below became!

"No way! There's morning study?"

"And we have to do morning exercises? I don't think I can get up for that!"

"Evening study hours are being extended too?"

"Counselors are going to check the dorms? Do we really have to do that?"

"We can't sleep or play on our phones during class... I bet they're just saying that!"

"..."

However, soon after, when Song Xiang announced the disciplinary notices for the students, all five thousand people present fell silent.

Thus, the wholesale issuance of warnings, serious warnings, demerits, probation, forced withdrawal, and expulsion at Yanhu Vocational School began... The five thousand-plus students listened in absolute trepidation!

Most of these students still held a certain level of awe for the school and teachers, and were afraid of being publicly reprimanded or expelled.

It was just that in recent years, the enforcement of school rules and discipline had become lax.

Some problem students who frequently violated school rules and discipline did not receive the punishment they deserved, which gradually corrupted other students.

At the same time, those counselors and teachers gradually lost their authority and could control the students less and less.

Many teachers who had a sense of responsibility, conscience, and professional ethics also gradually followed suit and gave up.

They turned a blind eye to the students' rule-breaking and risky behaviors!

Just as Xia Yuhong said, she really had tried her best... but she just felt very powerless!

She had truly put in her heart, but some students just didn't like her, thinking she was too overbearing... they just wanted to go against her!

It was as if going against her was something that gave them face, as if they were heroes!

Yet the school, on the other hand, was quite indulgent toward these students.

In her job, she couldn't feel any sense of meaning at all, and every day she felt a severe sense of internal depletion!

In fact, in this world, there aren't that many irresponsible teachers.

As long as a teacher has a normal level of moral quality, they all hope their students can listen attentively in class and focus on their studies.

Vocational school teachers don't ask for their students to achieve great things in the future.

Being able to learn a skill well, conduct themselves properly, and find a good job after graduation would be enough!

Su Yang could also understand young, highly educated teachers like Xia Yuhong who had just graduated and stepped out of school.

When he had just graduated, didn't he also harbor pure enthusiasm for this world?

Life is short; if one cannot even find the meaning of living... how tragic is that?

"Damn... so many people expelled and forced to withdraw?"

"That freshman Zhou Liyun is amazing; he's been forced to withdraw just two months into the semester?"

"That Chen Xiao is really something; he was watching porn in class and even played it out loud?"

"Xiang Fangting deserved to be expelled. I've long been unable to stand that woman; she bullied Kong Xia every day... Last time I said a few words to help Kong Xia, she said she liked Kong Xia... what a piece of trash!"

"Those two lackeys of Xiang Fangting are also on probation. Why didn't they just expel them directly!"

"That junior, He Guangbin, was also expelled? I thought he could hold out until graduation!"

"Is he famous?"

"He's that legendary figure who skipped classes for a whole year!"

"Getting expelled in junior year, wouldn't that be a huge loss? They paid so much money, and they can't even get a diploma!"

"..."

In the afternoon, Vice Principal Xu Zhuohui convened a meeting for all counselors and subject teachers in the large conference room.

If it were in the past, these counselors, teaching assistants, lecturers, associate professors, and professors would certainly have complained in their hearts that the leadership was being unreasonable again!

But this time, their hearts were filled with anticipation.

When the assessment documents for counselors and subject teachers were distributed to them, many teachers read them carefully.

"Look at this teaching competition; first place in the department gets a 10,000 bonus, and first place in the school gets a 30,000 bonus!"

"Holy crap! It went up 60 times?"

"50,000 bonus for third place at the provincial level? 70,000 for second, 100,000 for first, and 150,000 for special grade?"

"This is truly awesome!"

"Our bonus structure... it seems to be the highest in the entire province, right?"

"That's right! Definitely the first! It's absolutely far beyond other vocational colleges; what an exaggerated bonus!"

"The Chairman is really generous!"

"I feel like the pressure for next year's teaching competition will be huge... surely no one would want to miss out, right?"

"First place in the department is 10,000; who wouldn't want to give it a try?"

"It feels like things are going to get competitive!"

"..."

At this moment, many teaching assistants and lecturers noticed this teaching competition.

For vocational school teachers, teaching competitions are still very important.

Teaching competitions are also key for the school to improve its standing and for teachers to get promoted.

Generally, teaching competitions involve teachers forming teams to participate.

Participating in competitions and achieving good results can bring honor to the school, and these achievements are also important criteria for teachers' professional titles.

For teachers who aspire to improve their teaching ability, raise their professional titles, and increase their salaries, teaching competitions are very important.

However, preparing for teaching competitions takes a long time and consumes a lot of energy.

They have to compete from the department level to the school level, and then from the school level to the provincial competition.

In the past, even if they won first place in the Yanhu Vocational School competition, the bonus was only 500 yuan!

Many vocational school teachers only had enthusiasm for the competitions at the beginning, but later they simply stopped participating.

But now, the 500 yuan has been directly increased to 30,000!

Previously, winning a special provincial prize only netted 3,000 yuan; now it's straight to 100,000!

Su Yang set these competition bonuses so high because he places great importance on teaching.

Everyone should learn more, compete, and strive to improve their teaching ability!

"Also, the assessment has completely changed; it seems we don't have to write so much material anymore!"

"Right, right, right! At most, we just need a photo and a paragraph... there's even a template, and the requirement is to summarize it in no more than 30 words. Do they think we're elementary school students?"

"Hahaha... if you asked me to write 3,000 words, I'd get a headache, but I can definitely do 30 words!"

"But the assessment requirements for discipline and students' knowledge and skills have become stricter... sigh!"

"Our salaries have gone up so much, and the boring work has actually decreased, so just be happy about it!"

"Hehehe!"

"..."

Many teachers couldn't help but look at Su Yang, who was sitting at the head of the large conference room, their eyes filled with gratitude, respect, and admiration!

Su Yang, however, didn't care; for him, any problem that could be solved with money wasn't a big problem at all.

He felt that they should crazily reduce the burden on teachers and counselors!

They should be allowed to put their energy into the real work.

Instead of doing what they did before, creating a huge pile of formalistic materials—who are they doing that for?

They don't have the life of a public institution... yet they've caught the diseases of one!

Even if those materials were truly useful, they could just be handed over to the school's general staff to do!

Teachers and counselors send photos and summaries of the time, location, and event, and they can expand on it themselves.

Even if this work were given to a junior college student, they would be fully capable of handling it.

Everyone copies articles under the heavens; there are templates all over the internet!

They are a private vocational school; it's just a company!

Performance is everything!

What is the performance of a private vocational school?

In Su Yang's view, it is to cultivate technical talent with good character and a certain level of market competitiveness!

That is enough; his requirements are not high!

Only with performance can their school promote itself well!

Without performance, they would only have to rely on deception... but Su Yang is a man who cares about his reputation!

Next, Xu Zhuohui briefly interpreted the new management and assessment standards to these counselors and teachers and answered some of their questions.

For some things that Xu Zhuohui couldn't decide on, Su Yang also responded on the spot!

After this group of teachers left, all the counselors and teachers were beaming with joy.

They were even happier than when they went home for the Spring Festival!

Subsequently, Su Yang organized another meeting with the school's leadership team.

It was mainly to set up some new courses for the students, regarding sex education!

In this regard, the country is quite lacking in every aspect.

A bunch of 18-21-year-old teenagers in school are at an age where they are impulsive.

Many students' sex education probably comes from Japanese adult films!

Ban it? That would definitely be impossible to ban!

He just didn't want anyone to contract a disease or get pregnant...

Some vocational schools have a basic requirement for students—the boys don't die, and the girls don't give birth!

Ahem!

The school leaders present looked at each other, all somewhat silent.

"Rest assured, this course was proposed by me, so I won't hold you responsible!"

Chen Qingzhou quickly said, "Chairman, your decision is absolutely wise; our school will definitely strengthen the teaching of knowledge in this area!"

"Alright!" Su Yang nodded, "Also, I want to hold a position at the school, and I might also have a group of executives from other companies come to the school to work part-time!"

Working part-time allows them to leech off the school's +50% learning buff; his cousin has already leached off it!

Perhaps the school buff's requirements for staff are relatively loose!

Chen Qingzhou asked suspiciously, "Part-time?"

"Just give them an honorary lecturer position or something!" Su Yang said with a smile, "Let them occasionally give lectures to the students, host seminars, or something like that."

The group of executives under Su Yang are definitely capable!

Letting them teach the students can both broaden the students' horizons and allow them to gain the school's learning bonus buff; it's simply the best of both worlds!

Don't think that these executives don't learn or summarize experience in their daily lives.

They are actually learning and summarizing all the way!

"That's fine!"

Chen Qingzhou agreed immediately.

If it's corporate executives, then Yanhu Vocational School is willing.

And this is the boss speaking!

Their private junior college doesn't have such high requirements for honorary lecturers, and it's also more pragmatic!

Song Xiang asked in a low voice, "The Chairman also wants to hold a position at the school?"

Su Yang nodded, "Yes!"

Song Xiang said with a somewhat fawning smile, "Then the position of Honorary Principal must belong to the Chairman!"

"Right, right, right!" Xu Zhuohui also reacted, "The Chairman can't be an honorary lecturer, can he!"

"Yeah!"

"Exactly!"

"The position of Honorary Principal must belong to the Chairman!"

"I think it's feasible for the Chairman to serve as Honorary Principal!"

Before Su Yang could speak, the group of vocational school executives nodded and agreed repeatedly!
