Chapter 1236
Every time the topic of tuition increase came up, the other parents seemed to agree that there was some rationale behind it.
“Last time they raised the tuition, they said the dorm beds were broken, and the kids couldn’t take their midday nap. They wanted us to pick up the kids at high noon The kids were out of school by eleven something, we hadn’t even finished work. How were we supposed to pick up the kids? We complained to the school about this. They told us they didn’t have enough money to replace the beds until next semester. But who can wait until next semester? In the end, didn’t we parents end up shelling out dozens more dollars every month? Now this situation has come up again, and they probably want to raise tuition.”
“They just raised tuition a few months ago. Are they going to raise it again? Their tuition is already more expensive than other schools, and now they want to raise it again? Do they think our money grows on trees? Every month we spend hundreds of dollars on tuition alone, not even including room and board. Is this a kindergarten or a university?”
“If they really want to raise tuition, we should all complain to the higher–ups together How is it possible to raise tuition every two months?”
Seeing that everyone’s focus was drifting, the woman who had leaked the news earlier hurriedly said, “What does tuition increase matter? We chose this place because it’s close to home and the quality of education is high. For our children, we’re willing to pay any price. But the problem now is not about tuition increases If this is a land dispute and this building is taken back, whether the children can go to school is in question
This hit the parents sore spot, and they were all worried.
At this time, a parent calmly said, “We shouldn’t panic before any news leaks out The education of hundreds of children is a big deal. Even if they have disputes, we should not bear the consequences. Someone will take over the school. Everyone calm down, and don’t let others take advantage of us.”
The woman was immediately unhappy. What do you mean by being taken advantage of? i’m also concerned about the children’s education. I just share any news hear with everyone I only care about whether my child can continue to go to school
The parent was puzzled, “I was just expressing my opinion. I didn’t say you were stirring up trouble. Why are you angry?”
The woman looked embarrassed, “Fine, I’m being nosy. When the children can’t go to school, you’ll know if I’m crying wolf.”
Seeing them start to argue, the other parents tried to mediate
“She didn’t mean it that way.”
“We’re all concerned about the children’s education. Let’s not get angry
“If we really can’t go to school, we’ll definitely protest together”
After the crowd dispersed, the woman who had leaked the news made a phone call to someone.
The police stayed at the school for over an hour before leaving
That afternoon, the school suddenly sent an email to the parents saying that the school had encountered some irresistible factors and needed to suspend classes
for a while
This news set the parents boiling
Everyone was asking what had happened, why there was a sudden suspension of classes on a non–holiday, and when classes could resume.
The teachers avoided talking about it and only said to wait for notice.
“Wait for notice” was their least favorite excuse. When would they be notified? Wait for what kind of notice? The notice to resume classes or the notice to drop out?
