Chapter 715: Taking the Wrong Path, Need to Make a Turn
"You need to understand that studying isn’t something that can just be exchanged for effort, what you’re doing is good, but your approach is wrong."
Lin Fan’s words made Cui Ronglian look up in astonishment, "I’m getting them to study... how could that be wrong?"
"Do you know why you couldn’t bring those girls back that day? It’s because they had long since grown tired of schooling. Combine that with their weak foundations, they wouldn’t be able to keep up with the pace even if they returned. I can help you solve all the hardware and funding conditions, but the gap in ’software’, that’s something you just can’t chase after. What you need to provide them isn’t merely a learning environment; you need to give them skills for survival!"
"Skills!"
Hearing this, Cui Ronglian murmured with furrowed brows, "Are you asking me to run a vocational school?"
"Exactly. If they want to study, let them study. If they really can’t keep up with studying, then arrange for them to learn skills and earn their tuition through internships."
Lin Fan nodded and said, "Don’t forget, you’re running a private school without government funding here. Even if you don’t want to make money, you need to balance the books. Only with income can you have larger expenditures and recruit more out-of-school girls. By giving them a skill, they can not only become self-reliant but also secure their living with this ability in the future!"
"But... but what should they learn? Jiangning has a mono-industry, and Red Flag County has even fewer options for making a living. I can’t just have them learn beauty treatments and nail art."
