Chapter 175: Disregarding Advice
"Teacher Xiao, I really don’t know what you’re thinking, why you would choose to start lectures over for them," said one of the teachers. "You have to know, this book is already difficult to understand. Teacher Shen Liguo managed to almost finish it in one semester, and the students can be said to have truly learned this course. But now you want to start from the beginning again, isn’t that a bit inconsiderate!"
"Teacher Xiao, I also think your approach is somewhat inconsiderate. Let’s not even talk about who would win the competition between you and Teacher Shen Liguo; let’s talk about your behavior."
The teacher paused momentarily before continuing, "Isn’t that a bit irresponsible to the students? You can’t think that just because you’re young, you can do whatever you want. Haven’t you considered the students? If you lose the competition with Teacher Shen, don’t be anxious, but if the students’ learning of this course is really delayed, there’s no way to remedy that!"
Xiao Yifei listened carefully to the words of his fellow teachers. He understood their concerns, but they had not attended his lectures and did not know his capabilities, so they could only offer advice based on their own thoughts.
"Don’t worry, teachers. I have my reasons for doing this. I know you are all good teachers, considering not only me but also our students. But rest assured, I won’t delay their learning!"
Xiao Yifei didn’t know how to explain his teaching approach, but the results would be the best proof. He then added, "So teachers, you don’t need to worry now. After three and a half weeks, when the results come out, you will understand."
Despite Xiao Yifei’s assurances, the teachers still found it hard to believe him. But they didn’t know what else to say to him. They had made their concerns clear, and yet Xiao Yifei remained stubborn. There was nothing more they could do.
"Sigh."
