"To be so loved by your students makes a lifetime of teaching worthwhile." The Chinese teacher from the neighboring class smiled. Educating students was their profession, but earning their respect and adoration was more satisfying than any amount of money.
The math teacher from Class 1 made a fair point. "Teacher Shi deserves it. We all saw Han Tingting's math grades back then—they were truly awful. Only Teacher Shi had the patience and never saw her as a bother."
"She knew Han Tingting came by often, so she even prepared a little stool for her. That was really thoughtful. And she was always preparing all sorts of practice tests for her, which takes a lot of effort."
Tan You, of course, had no idea what the teachers were discussing in their office. Following Mr. Qin, she smoothly entered the high school division. In Han Tingting's memories, she had never once set foot in the high school division.
